Talk:ChinaAngVirus disinformation campaign

CoronaVac efficacy
My recollection from news media at the time is that the CoronaVac, especially the early iterations of it, were much less effective than western-made vaccines available at the time. That probably warrants discussion in an article that the allegations to be smears. —Compassionate727 (T·C) 01:01, 1 July 2024 (UTC)


 * If I remember correctly, it was not as effective as mRNA vaccines but comparable to more traditional vaccines. It wasn't "fake" or "dangerous" though as claimed by the campaign, as in not getting any vaccination would have been more dangerous. CurryCity (talk) 04:26, 1 July 2024 (UTC)
 * That the vaccine was "fake" and did not work, or that it contained pig gelatin and was therefore haram, is obviously a "smear" (i.e. disinformation). A single sentence in §Background saying it had for example comparable but slightly lower efficacy than other COVID-19 vaccines (or whatever the case is) could arguably be warranted, but certainly we shouldn't include something that would seek to justify those obviously BS claims which clearly the US DoD did not even themselves believe.
