Unlike other vaccines, it's a whole virus. Other vaccines are just based on the spike protein production and the antibodies against it. The virus is chemically destroyed and most of it is left corrupted. Depending on the destroyed parts of the virus it could be more effective against the new variants, or less.

So it would be like this.
Other vaccines: More effective against the original virus. Less effective against the new variants.
Sinovac vaccine: Less effective against the original virus. More effective against the new variants.

Other vaccines only target the spike protein. This is what precisely the mutated variants change with each mutation. Sinovac has the whole virus, produces more antibodies against the different parts of the pathogen.
I would still like to know more about this vaccine, as it is the one being applied in my country (Pfizer too, but only to some healthcare workers and 80+ years olds).

So Sinovac is not mRNA then? What do Chinanons think about the theory that sars-cov-2 escaped from a lab? What do you think of the Yan Report?

>escaped from lab
Possible,but hard to say
>Yan's report
Yan is just a speculator like her boss Miles Guo
