1. I have some more questions, I will write them in the appendix

Xinhuanet interviews Gao Fu, Director of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention

Q: Why is the development of the new coronavirus vaccine in the United States suddenly faster?

Answer: When we developed the vaccine, there were no patients in China because the country did not have the environment for phase III clinical trials, unlike the United States, which still has many patients with COVID-19.

Question: Why doesn’t the West make inactivated vaccines?

Answer: The production of inactivated vaccines requires that the production companies meet the biosafety level 3 protection standards. At that time, we temporarily converted the P3 laboratory used for experiments into an environment that could produce vaccines. There were many biosafety issues here, but they did not have them, so we did not go down the inactivated vaccine line.

2. Guokr.com has created a COVID-19 vaccine tracker, which is the link below. It will track the development progress of each COVID-19 vaccine. Interested students can click in and take a look.

3. There is nothing else to say.

The New Year is coming soon. Students who have already returned home should pay attention to safety and reduce gatherings. Students who have not yet returned must pay attention to safety on the road. I hope you are all well.
