    Yep. The opposite. As far as I've been able to track: Not a single death or even a severe case among the vaccinated either by Sinopharm or Astrazenecca (used about equally, with AZ for over 60) in Seychelles (according to their health minister). Look for details, not just charts.https://twitter.com/houzhou/status/1395727262259957769 …

    People need to stop using Seychelles as an example of vaccines not working or Sinopharm/Astrazenecca not working. 2/3 of people infected in this current wave were not vaccinated, which works out to mean a vaccine efficacy of ~70%, as expected for these vaccines!

        These people using Seychelles as example of vaccines not working are a gift for antivaxxers group, specially in countries that are relying on Chinese vaccines.

        Oh wow, great news! Do you know if transmission has been tracked in the Seychelles? My biggest fear about AZ is that (according to some recent studies?) it only blocks ~1/3 of asymptomatic cases. So I was wondering if they know about transmission from vaccinated people.

        Can you please help figure out what’s going on in Bahrain? We were doing so well but look at this tweet to see the sudden surge in cases. We rely on sinopharm as well although we have other vaccines available. See this tweethttps://twitter.com/jawadfairooz/status/1395585878987354113?s=21 …

        Now the ministry of health is saying that they will be giving a booster shot for sinopharm but that booster will be the Pfizer vaccine

        I’m confused by the tweet you quoted. Vaccine efficacy is percent reduction of infections in *those who are vaccinated* — not the general population.
