Brazilian Federal Government Unwilling to Buy Chinese Vaccines, Only Buying Products Developed by British Pharmaceutical Companies and Oxford University
In an interview with local Brazilian media on 14th October, Sao Paulo State Health Secretary Jean Gorinchteyn confirmed that the Brazilian federal government had not appropriated funds to purchase the Wuhan Virus vaccine (CoronaVac) from China. Clinical trials of CoronaVac are being conducted in Brazil and the Butantan Institute of Sao Paulo State is in collaboration with research and development.
Gorinchteyn had also stated that in an earlier Ministry of Health meeting, the Brazilian federal government had confirmed they would only purchase vaccines jointly developed by British pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca and Oxford University and were not planning on purchasing CoronaVac. Besides the guaranteed purchase of 61 million doses of the Oxford vaccines that the Brazilian federal government had already committed to, authorities are unwilling to purchase additional vaccines, but did not explain the reason why funds were not appropriated to buy the Chinese vaccine.

CCP Has Infiltrated All Walks of Life in UK, with HSBC and Standard Chartered Employing Over 600 Party Members
British media raises concerns about the China Communist Party (CCP) placing their members in foreign countries. Following the concern of the US intelligence on infiltration to US Democratic Party members by a Chinese spy, the British's Mail on Sunday claimed to have obtained nearly 2 million CCP members’ details, revealing that many of them are working in British academia and also in wide variation of industries, involving 79 thousand companies and their branches, such as HSBC, vaccine manufacturer Pfizer and AstraZeneca. Some of them even work in the British consulates, raising suspicions of espionage. The Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China (IPAC) issued a short statement, describe the findings as disturbing. Some Australian parliament members have called on the government to find out whether CCP spies are infiltrating the Australian system.
A large amount of CCP member in HSBC, Standard Chartered, Pfizer and AstraZeneca
The Mail on Sunday reported that information on 1.95 million suspected CCP members, including their names, date of births, addresses and phone numbers, was circulated on Telegram. In September, a Chinese dissident forwarded this information to IPAC, which composed of cross-parties European and American parliamentarians. The Mail on Sunday recently analysed the data, finding that HSBC and Standard Chartered together employed more than 600 CCP members in the UK in 2016. It also reported that these two banks have long been criticised for their stance on dissidents issues in Hong Kong. Moreover, CCP members are also found to be employed in the defence industry including Boeing, Airbus, and Rolls-Royce. As for the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer and AstraZeneca alone have already employed 123 CCP members.
The Mail on Sunday also discovered that many CCP members are working in foreign diplomatic organisations in China via a company called "The Shanghai Foreign Agency Service Corporation", which has a Chinese official background, and at least 249 CCP members were registered with the agency in 2016. The CCP also infiltrated into academics, that according to the British policy, overseas students not from the EU or the Five Eyes network are required to have an Academic Technology Approval Scheme (ATAS) certificate to enter. But it was found that some of the CCP members have been senior researchers in the UK top universities, participating in sensitive subject such as aerospace engineering.

Countries Signal Doubts About Delta Protection From Chinese Vaccine
Thailand became the latest country to signal waning confidence in a Chinese vaccine against the highly contagious Delta variant, saying it would offer booster shots of Western doses to healthcare workers.
Healthcare workers who received two doses of the vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech Ltd. would be given a third shot made by either Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE or AstraZeneca PLC, Thailand’s health ministry said Monday. Those who had only one dose would receive AstraZeneca as their second.
The decision to mix the vaccines makes Thailand the latest country to show reservations about whether Chinese vaccines work well enough to protect medical workers against the Delta variant, which was first detected in India and is thought to be far more contagious than earlier versions of the virus. The strain has spread to at least 98 countries.
