Sinovac hits back over reported US campaign to discredit China’s Covid-19 vaccine


Chinese pharmaceutical company says Pentagon’s social media attack targeting its coronavirus jabs could lead to ‘enormous disaster’.

“Stigmatising vaccination will lead to a series of consequences, such as a lower inoculation rate, the outbreak and spread of disease, social panic and insecurity, as well as crises of confidence in science and public health,” Sinovac spokeswoman Yuan Youwei told Chinese media. Edward Snowden, the American whistleblower famous for revealing his country’s surveillance and intelligence collection practices, wrote on his own X account that the US disinformation campaign “is going to be taught in history classes”. Lu Xiang, a research fellow at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, said that the US would continue to use sophisticated operations to spread “disinformation” aimed at making up information to weaken an adversary’s credibility and integrity.
