Made-in-China Fake COVID19 Vaccine Sold Via Chinese WeChat

Currently, no COVID-19 vaccine has been proven and manufactured for use in the world. Howevet, a fake vaccine can already be found on the internet in China. This fake vaccine claims to be produced from a "well-known" pharmaceutical company. Each dose of vaccine is marked at 498 RMB (~ 72 USD).

According to Chinese media reports, netizens have put “fake vaccines” on WeChat for sale. A WeChat message reads, “Please contact me if you need a COVID-19 vaccine. We do export as well. But, you will be on a waitlist first due to limited supply.” Also, it claims that the first batch of vaccines will be officially on sale on 2 September 2020.

Another message reads, “A China-made vaccine is already available. One dose is 498 RMB. Each treatment needs three doses in total. Healthcare workers and those who need to go abroad have priority. The vaccine will be widely available by the end of this year.”

The name of the vaccine “CoronaVac an inactivated vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 (Vero cell)“ is printed on the package and the product’s barcode could be traced to Sinovac Biotech and Wuhan Institute of Biological Products Co., Ltd.
