More than 350 Indonesian doctors and medical workers contract COVID-19 despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalized, officials said, as concerns rise about the efficacy of some vaccines against more virulent strains of the virus

Most of the workers were asymptomatic and self-isolating at home, said Badai Ismoyo, head of the health office in the district of Kudus in central Java, but dozens were in hospital with high fevers and declining oxygen saturation levels.

Almost all have received the COVID-19 vaccine developed by Chinese biopharmaceutical company Sinovac, the Indonesian Medical Association says. Spokespersons from Sinovac and Indonesia’s ministry of health were not immediately available for comment on the efficacy of the Chinese firm's CoronaVac against newer variants of the virus.

"That phenomenon happens quite often these days, not only within the community, but also healthcare workers," she said. "They think because they are vaccinated that they are safe." "It is alarming for us because we cannot rely on vaccinations only," he said, urging people to take precautions.

Clearly, a new brand of Variant Agnostic Therapies (VAT) is needed. The US-based Adamis Pharmaceutical are potentially getting US Govt backing to develop their Tempol antiviral pill that’s shown efficacy in fighting the symptoms of coronavirus. This could be a game changer. ADMP
