Ok, they got their plans up to 31.5 million people now. Only another 23.5 million to go.

Canada went and put orders in for like 400 million back in March / April, so I'm sure we'll be nice and share.

Today during a regular visit with my doctor at one of Pattaya’s private hospitals amid a new level of screening I asked him if the hospital is treating Covid patients he say 10 are in a separate wing, I then asked him when he would receive the vaccine he said very unenthusiastically the staff will receive the first shot of the Chinese vaccine next month with the general public to receive a vaccine sometime next year.

It's reported that Indonesia will be the first country in Asia to use the Chinese Sinovac vaccine on the general population.

However test results from countries involved in Phase 3 testing only give it a passing grade - 62% efficacy

Speculations, tests results aren't published yet. Pfizer tries to push them from Brazil. In fact it is around 80%

In UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and Jordan Sinovac shows 86% https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...cine-one-china

How convenient!
They produced the strain as well as the vaccine for it.

I assume that comment is some sort of weak humour.
The strain was not produced in the UK. It was first spotted in the UK because they were using more advanced forms of genetic sequencing than other countries.
In fact it has probably been in US for some time according to Eric Topol, head of Scripps Research in California.
Tell me Dinagam -- do you also believe that The 1918 flu pandemic started on Spain?
Finally let me point out that the Oxford vaccine is being supplied on a non-profit basis.
And a last 'finally' -- 172 countries signed the COVAX treaty to supply vaccines at cost ------ except USA.
