“You don’t have to buy more Chinese vaccines, they are proven to be the least effective”

Famous neurologist Conrado Estol, stranded in New York after the government-imposed restriction to limit the entry of passengers into the country, criticized the measure and asked not to buy Chinese vaccines anymore because “there is evidence that they are the least effective”, even before the appearance of the Delta variant.

“I wouldn’t buy more from Sinopharm. There is strong evidence on the planet led by data from Seychelles, Mongolia, Chile, Uruguay, the countries that have vaccinated the most, which showed that the Chinese vaccines from Sinovac and Sinopharm were already much less effective before the onset of Delta, ”he said. the professional in dialogue with Radio bolster.

His statement stems from a criticism formulated by the doctor regarding the actions of the Government in the face of the appearance of a new and more contagious variant.

In this regard, he assured that “there is no logical reason” to restrict flights from the United States, he said that “cancellation is easy and has a strong impact on people who are uninformed”, but what you need to do is “test quickly, buy vaccines early and vaccinate “.

“Uno podría cuidar las fronteras terrestres, miremos Uruguay y la avalancha of the variant of Manaus that recibió. También limitar los vuelos de América Latina, que es el epicentro de la pandemia, has only 5% of the global population and a 25% de muertos en la pandemia. Pero de EE.UU., de donde vienen norteamericanos y argentinos vacunados con las mejores vacunas del mundo, sabiendo que Delta es el problema actual, entonces no solo están dejando una dosis para un argentino que no puede viajar, otherwise what they arrive vaccinated with something that the virus costs much more to invadeCriticized Estol, who said he had been in the United States for a month and a half.

Continuing in the same vein, he asserted that the world is divided between countries which have “a large part of their population vaccinated with a complete pattern and can defend themselves” and those which “do not have as many vaccines as the Argentina, where cases and deaths will increase a lots ”.

“Delta is the first variant to go global. Alpha, the British variant, was 40% more contagious than the original variant. And Delta is 40% more contagious than Alpha. It makes it more deadly. As it spreads more easily, more people are infected and there is always a percentage who will have a severe version of the disease and die, ”he noted.

And he explained his theory a little more: “The proportion of vaccinated is very important. Those who have up to 30% of their population vaccinated have three times as many infected per 100,000 inhabitants than those who have 60%. This is why we see that the UK, which has 85% of its population on one dose and 60% with two, now having 99% Delta, has greatly increased infections with minimal hospitalizations ”

“At the other extreme are Russia and Indonesia, which have had little vaccinations and are experiencing chaos, just like Africa,” he added. And he explained that “in the United States, which is under control, there is a Delta effect which has stopped the decline in infected and has started to increase a little.”

For this reason, Estol asked the government to buy “Pfizer and Moderna vaccines”, don’t forget it Novavax, “a vaccine covered, without side effects, which showed an effectiveness of 90%” and that vis-à-vis flights to the United States “they need to be quintupled so that more people get vaccinated they have much better immunity. “

“To increase the tests on return and to impose quarantine in the houses seems perfect to me. But not to be vaccinated or to have an incomplete vaccination as happens in Argentina puts us in the best step for more deaths“, he finished.
