What makes this infuriating is the "most moral country in the world" did this for economic damage to another country's commercial market. So much for free markets. In the US, we still think the China vaccines are not as effective. This led to Saudi Arabia requiring everyone who came for pilgrimages to use US made vaccines. The problem was US made vaccines were not readily available in all places. It was double trouble for them.

I am so angry right now.

Per the article, the China vaccines are not as effective:

> Although the Chinese vaccines were found to be less effective than the American-led shots by Pfizer and Moderna, all were approved by the World Health Organization.

Is this a false statement?

We will have to wait for another leak to verify that.

So part of what you’re angry about is not based on known facts. If the leak never comes, will you retract your comment?

At this point, a US department was intentionally spreading false information to hurt the economic success of an adversary. Any effect this has on the decision-making of foreign govts is going to be directly attributed to this mission.

Unless can be proven otherwise. But how can that be proven?

To my knowledge, organizations like the WHO and countries like Brazil reported weaker effectiveness of the Chinese jabs compared to the likes of Pfizer. I’m not familiar with even China claiming otherwise these past few years. Are you saying the CCP fell for the anti-CCP propaganda?
