My Hong-Kong friends came round today and told me something interesting. They had heard from their contacts in HK that the guy responsible for the sinovax Chinese vaccine has been given the death penalty because he is being held responsible for the substantial side affects. They said that other company board members have already been bumped off on the quiet and that the Chinese government are covering up a massive number of deaths from it, the numbers they suggested were unbelievable, so I'm not going to quote them. These guys are normally very sensible and trustworthy, but the story seemed too incredible to take seriously. After they left, I found this after a lot of searching. What do you think?
