A Chilean research team published a new paper about Sinovac on the New England Journal of Medicine:
On the other hand, here is another report about Sinvac with a sensational title that does not really match the content:
So out of 677,348 medical personnel who received 2 doses of Sinovac, only 0.0912% got breakthrough infection. Out of this, only 1 died and 1 admitted to ICU. The bias against Sinovac is getting ridiculous.

Results
The study was conducted from February 2 through May 1, 2021, and the cohort included approximately 10.2 million persons. Among persons who were fully immunized, the adjusted vaccine effectiveness was 65.9% (95% confidence interval [CI], 65.2 to 66.6) for the prevention of Covid-19 and 87.5% (95% CI, 86.7 to 88.2) for the prevention of hospitalization, 90.3% (95% CI, 89.1 to 91.4) for the prevention of ICU admission, and 86.3% (95% CI, 84.5 to 87.9) for the prevention of Covid-19–related death.
Conclusions
Our results suggest that the inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine effectively prevented Covid-19, including severe disease and death, a finding that is consistent with results of phase 2 trials of the vaccine. (Funded by Agencia Nacional de Investigación y Desarrollo and others.)
