Chinese Ambassador to Bangladesh Li Jiming will be the first volunteer to take part in the final or phase-3 human trial of a prospective Chinese Covid-19 vaccine in Bangladesh.

"Ambassador will be the first one once it [trial] is approved by due Bangladesh authorities," Deputy Head of Mission, Chinese Embassy in Dhaka Yan Hualong told BSS yesterday.

"As I have no chance to win against him [ambassador], I'll be happy to be the second one," he said, adding that lots of engineers and technicians in local Chinese community here volunteer as the first batch of participants in the phase-3 trial.

On Sunday, Bangladesh's regulatory Medical Research Council (BMRC) extended "ethical approval" for phase-3 human trial of the prospective vaccine by China's Sinovac Biotech Ltd, which appeared to be a forerunner in a global race for developing inoculates against coronavirus.

BMRC decided to approve the last stage trial of the Chinese vaccine as Dhaka-based International Centre for Diarrheal Disease Research, Bangladesh (icddr,b) submitted a research protocol seeking to carry out the study.


The BMRC official said the regulator kept in consideration "Bangladesh's benefit" alongside prospect and safety issues of the vaccine, studying the advancement of the Sinova's research in China, while reviewing the icddr,b proposal.

However, the BMRC approval would require a subsequent endorsement from Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) and Directorate General of Drug Administration (DGDA).

Why indians do not report UK used Indians as ginuea pig to test their COVID-2019 vaccines? Oh, Indians call it collacoration though they only contribute their people as volunteers

Slaves do not have the rights to complain about the master. ;)

You know India is still part of the British commonwealth.
 
Chinese are cheating and lying. They are in phase 3 testing with in six months of development.

My friends in Shanghai, Shuzhou, Tianjin and Nanjing told me that they got some vaccination between Oct 2019 an Dec 2019 and suspect that these were Corona virus vaccine and could be part of trial or administration of doses to avoid spread of pandemic in China.

It's too early and would be evil to say that this spread may be a calculated risk taken for some sinister scheme.
 
What happened to Chinese vaccine trial in Bangladesh, what invisible hand stopped it? It would eye opening for all those who were hoping current Bangladeshi regime is ready to come out of master in Delhi.
