China News Service, August 11th. According to the South American Overseas Chinese News Network, Peruvian social networks are circulating some false and untrue information about Sinopharm's new crown vaccine. In this context, the Peruvian "El Comercio" (El Comercio ) Recently published an article entitled "3 Reasons to Trust China's Sinopharm's New Coronary Vaccine", which listed the scientific data supporting the vaccine.

The article is excerpted as follows:

  Reason 1: Validity data

  The statement that "China's Sinopharm's new crown vaccine has no scientific research to prove its effectiveness and safety" is incorrect. The World Health Organization (WHO) scientific journals and independent experts, as well as academic institutions in Peru have all verified the positive effects of the vaccine.

  After evaluating its Phase III clinical trial data, the WHO approved the emergency use of China's Sinopharm's new crown vaccine in May this year under the advice of the WHO independent expert group.

In the same month, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) released the vaccine’s Phase III clinical trial data, with an effective rate of 78%, which is higher than the minimum vaccine efficacy (50%) set by the WHO.

The results showed that after the first dose of vaccine, the effective rate of preventing death from infection reached 61.6%. After the two doses were completed, The proportion rose to 84%.

Although the data is different from the results of the Peru study, this is because the research objects and research background are different, but in both cases, the Chinese National Medicine vaccine meets the international standards.
