despite being vaccinated with Sinovac and dozens have been hospitalized, officials said, as concerns grow about the efficacy of some vaccines against more infectious variants.
Designated as a priority group, health-care workers were among the first to be vaccinated when inoculations began in January. A spokesperson from Sinovac was not immediately available for comment on the efficacy of the Chinese firm's CoronaVac against newer variants of the virus.
but they were vaccinated
Not all vaccines are created equal.
Sinovac does not appear to work well against the Delta variant. In UK cases are rising too. A sign that AstraZeneca is not as effective either. The Delta variant is in Ontario (Peel) yet cases in Ontario are dropping. mRNA vaccines appear to be more effective.
Delta variant is a threat.
U can’t develop an efficient vaccine in 5 mths. Should have followed Australia and nz approach-no cases, no deaths and, get this, NO mass vaxx program JustinTrudeau CanadianPM francoislegault BlocQuebecois liberalparty NDP and unvaxxed ppl s/b wearing white arm bands! What!
Sinovac only 51% efficacy.
Another misleading headline. More proud moments of reporting
Likely not one of the vaccines approved for use in North America. These sorts of breakthrough infections can contribute to mutations/variants.
Oh shit.

Evidence suggests COVID-19 was in U.S. by December 2019Federal health officials are increasingly accepting a timeline in which small numbers of COVID-19 infections may have occurred in the U.S. before the world ever became aware of a dangerous new virus erupting in China I very much believe that it likely was.
