Had doubts? Rector: Chinese jab provides proper protection

The Sinopharm vaccine produces many hundred times the number of antibodies after two jabs than that after someone is infected by the virus, the rector of Budapest’s Semmelweis University said on Wednesday, rejecting news reports that a third dose might be needed in certain cases.

In an interview with the daily Magyar Nemzet, Bela Merkely said that according to tests conducted at the university, Sinopharm has generally produced a much stronger immune response than that detected in recovered patients. Even the lowest levels of antibodies measured after the Chinese jab were on par with the immune response after recovery, he said.

Merkely noted, at the same time, that the six vaccines used in Hungary were made using diverse methods,

“so no single vaccine can produce all the advantageous effects”.     

The use of messenger RNS to induce an immune response against the virus’s distinctive spike protein, as in the case of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, is a unique method, used for the first time in the world last year, he noted.

  • Will Hungary make the coronavirus vaccination mandatory?

Meanwhile, AstraZeneca, Sputnik V and Janssen are vector vaccines, using non-infectious adenoviruses to forward information on spike proteins into the body. The body then produces antibodies against that protein, he said.

Those vaccines “cannot be compared” to Sinopharm,

which contains inactive Covid-19 viruses, and with it multiple proteins rather than just the spike protein, Merkely said. The vaccine works by eliciting a response to all proteins, he added.

    The rector of Semmelweiss University has today clearly stated that research into the SINOPHARM VACCINE proves it to be effective.

    In all likelihood, the World Health Organisation will very shortly make a similar statement.

    The E.M.A. – controlled by a largely-incompetent European Commission and Parliament – will NOT approve either the Chinese or Russian COVID-19 vaccines because it ‘runs contrary to their political belief’ of Europe being dominated by a bunch of failed pseudo-politicians (and other total misfits) based in a second-rate village located within Belgium ( i.e. Brussels).

    Alfred the cabbage head has spoken. Yet again he should get stuffed. The experiences of Chile, Serbia and Dubai show that the efficacy of the Sinopharm vaccine is not that good.The Rector of Semmelweiss University is clearly having political pressure applied to him to make this positive statement. The words of one man as opposed to the real life experience of three non EU country’s Health Authorities really do not have much authority. This Alfred person swallows every party line hook line and sinker. He is not even a Hungarian except by a quirk of fate. He does not even speak fluent Hungarian (of any).

    Love it anonymous. Yes, AlfredE.Neuman only believes what the media says in Hungary. If the rector said it then it must be true! How sad to go though life like that. So small minded.

    I agree with Anonymous, which is hard for me to say because I was on the other side of most issues he commented on. 🙂 I am not a doctor but this statement raised my attention “Sinopharm has generally produced a much stronger immune response than that detected in recovered patients.” This smells of propaganda rather than true science.
