A Chinese state-owned developer has been authorised to start phase three human trials of a Covid-19 vaccine candidate in the United Arab Emirates.

China National Biotec Group said the clinical trials were approved by the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention during a teleconference on Tuesday.

Its subsidiary, the Wuhan Institute of Biological Products, completed phase two human trials of the inactivated vaccine candidate which showed it was safe and produced high levels of neutralising antibodies. Another candidate developed by a second subsidiary of the group is undergoing phase two trials.

Vaccine developers are looking overseas for phase three trials – which involve thousands of people – because there are no longer enough cases of Covid-19 within China, so it is not considered suitable for testing. Two other Chinese developers, CanSino and Sinovac Biotech, have previously announced they will start phase three trials elsewhere – in Canada and Brazil, respectively.

I think the human UAE used might be Indian migrant workers since they have abundant there. The migrant workforce outnumbered the locals like 1million to 300,000.

Those Indian big mouth will talk only but action always remain a delusion.

They used those faulty smartphone and LCD to smash during demonstration. But still keep buying brand new Chinese products.
