Sinovac and Pfizer equally effective against Covid-19, says Dr Noor Hisham

KUALA LUMPUR, July 20 — Medical data from vaccine use showed that both Sinovac and Pfizer vaccines are equally effective against Covid-19, said Health director-general Tan Sri Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah.

“Sinovac was found to reduce Covid-19 infection by 65.9 per cent, reduce hospitalisation by 87.5 per cent, reduce intensive care unit admission by 90.3 per cent and reduce deaths by 86.3 per cent,” he said. Dr Noor Hisham said in contrast, the Pfizer trial that reported efficacy of 95 per cent was very small and analysed only 170 Covid-19 cases involving a group of eight vaccinated and 162 unvaccinated individuals.

Who will be able to prove what we jab is Sino or Pfizer?

Effective if not kosonglah.

Yeah but one is still under trial while pfizer is more effective against delta variant

Might be right. But China always has trust deficit issues. Fake this, cheat that, lie. The western press reports not helping. And no one so far knows what really happened in Wuhan.

With delta variant sinovac efficacy much worst of. Pfizer efficacy drops as well
