China is also working on a viral vector vaccine, which uses a human cold virus (adenovirus type-5) as a vector to deliver a part of SARS-CoV-2 gene into our cells. In principle, this is the same genetic-based technology as mRNA vaccines.

It's relentless, the BBC, British government mouthpiece hatch job on China. Just this minute got off watching BBC news report on their lunch time news (extended for tonight)

The headlines from the anchor

'When did China knew and how much did they knew'.

Everything there screams out guilty before it even aired.

Here's the article from John sudworth 3 days ago

Headline screams out at you 'denial' so you only denial if you are guilty. Right?

Wuhan marks its anniversary with triumph and denial

BBC News, Wuhan

Published 3 days ago

And then today's article:

"My take

With these headlines! Everything to try and demonize China. Can't wait till what's coming out tonight. All these demonizing China, all the while, that Rabbs bloke says U.K. stands shoulders to shoulders with Saudis. Gee why do you hate us so?"

31 December: Offers of help

1 January 2020: International frustration

2 January: Silencing the doctors

3 January: Secret memo
That piece was nit picking BS of the highest order.

The entire tone of the piece was to act as if China had all the knowledge it does now from the very first minute of the outbreak.

The secrecy was entirely warranted given what was suspected. Had China just did a Twitter livestream as those idiots wanted, it would have made things a million times worse for both China and the world.

China isn’t some remote 3rd world backwater, if the government had gone public with things as soon as it was discovered, it would have caused mass panic and a mass exodus of people out of Wuhan to the rest of China and the world, supercharging the virus spread.

China first needed to be sure what this was, and then needed time to prepare for a total lockdown of Wuhan, something the same western journalists and medical hacks who are criticising China now were laughing at China at the time for the ‘extreme overreaction’ and ‘violation of human rights’.

The very fact that only a tiny percentage of the confirmed cases in the west originated from Wuhan is testimony to the effectiveness of the Chinese response (European and American outbreaks only really kicked off in earnest when tourists returned home from skii holidays in Italy after Easter).

I have a very simple answer to the western Karens complaining about China’s initial response - would a few extra days’ warning have stopped your own elected leaders from being the total fucktards that they are? No? Well how would it have made any difference to their response to the pandemic when they wasted months doing F all to prepare and instead focused all their efforts on kicking China while it was down?

The blame for the virus raging completely out of control in the west lies solely and squarely with western leaders, scientists and journalists. How dare you complain of days when your own response time is measured in months? How many months did it take for the UK to report its own new variant?

I would curse them with a pox on their house, but that seems redundant at this point.

Wofie are you watching BBC 2 now titled 54 days China and the pandemic. What a hatchet job.

Part 1 now. It makes my blood boil!

No, I don’t watch the BBC and would not be watching that as it’s obviously a politically motivated hatch job designed to deflect away from the UK’s own dumpster fire of a pandemic response.

‘Convenient’ that it is airing just as the UK official death toll passes 100k no?

This one has controversy because of a failed collaboration between China and Canada. It was actually a front runner with astrra-zeneca early in the race before Phfizer Sinopharm, Moderna overtook them
