Wealthy countries dominate the effective Western vaccine
Easy storage as it can be stored in a refrigerated state

Many developing countries are relying heavily on the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) vaccine’Corona Bag’ from the Chinese pharmaceutical company Sinobac, whose effectiveness has not been accurately proven. This is because rich countries have already preempted vaccines from Western pharmaceutical companies that are effective.
According to the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) on the 13th (local time), health experts said that as a result of wealthy countries buying vaccines from Western pharmaceutical companies, many developing countries will be forced to rely on the “only option” of coronavirus. Earlier, the New York Times (NYT) has secured a vaccine that can be vaccinated six times the population in Canada, four times in the United States and the United Kingdom, and twice as much in the European Union (EU). I predicted that it would not be possible.
The fact that Coronabag can be stored and transported in a refrigerated state, unlike Pfizer, Moder, and vaccines, added that it is a great advantage for developing countries with poor infrastructure. Coronavirus is a dead vaccine made from inactivated coronavirus, and’traditional technology’ was used. However, the vaccines of Pfizer and Modena, applied with a new technology using messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), must be stored at -70 degrees and 20 degrees Celsius respectively.
The problem is that the effect of Coronavirus has not been accurately proven, such as differently depending on the country where the clinical trial was conducted. For example, as a result of conducting a clinical trial on about 13,000 people in Brazil, the effect was found to be 50.38%. It slightly exceeded 50% of the minimum standard for use approval recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO). On the other hand, in Turkey and Indonesia, 1,300 and 1,620 people, respectively, were carried out, and 91% and 65.3% were prevented, respectively. Accordingly, the British BBC also pointed out that it is difficult to say how much the prevention effect of coronavirus is at this point.
Even in this situation, countries are putting weight on large-scale vaccinations. This is because the spread of Corona 19 seldom subsides. Indonesian President Joko Widodo launched a public vaccination on this day to dismiss the distrust of the coronavirus. Turkey approved the emergency use of coronavirus on that day, and Sao Paulo, Brazil, will begin vaccinating coronavirus on the 25th.
