China Mandates Vaccination of All Military Personnel Despite Numerous Reports of Vaccine Related Deaths and Low Vaccine Efficacy
Despite numerous reports of deaths caused by Chinese vaccines in Hong Kong and the mainland, Chinese authorities have ordered all members of the military to be vaccinated.
The death of a Chinese soldier who received China’s Sinovac vaccine, and other vaccine related death cases, are hotly discussed on Chinese social media.
On April 15, a Weibo user in Shenzhen, using the handle “Wild Foothill Flowers,” said her brother, a soldier, died after receiving the Sinovac vaccine.
“My brother was a 28-year-old soldier with no medical history. The troop arranged for everyone to receive the Sinovac inactivated vaccine produced in Beijing. The first dose was given on Jan. 11. The second dose was given on Feb. 8, at Shenzhen Binhe Avenue Women’s and Children’s Social Health Center.”
