Turkey was discussing relations with the Chinese vaccine company Sinovac until a few months ago. Now, some explanations have been made that will add a new dimension to these discussions. The person who made the statements was Cantürk Alagöz, the owner of Keymen İlaç.
According to the news of Tunca Bengin from Milliyet, the statements made by Alagöz almost shake the agenda. According to Alagöz, even the scientists who conducted the clinical trials of the mRNA-based coronavirus vaccine developed by Pfizer and BioNTech preferred the Sinovac vaccine. While Alagöz explained this situation by saying that he “didn’t eat his eyes”, he also explained that wrong information was given about vaccines.
“Some of our scientists are biased”
The following statements were included in the statements made by Cantürk Alagöz, the owner of Keymen İlaç, which brought the Sinovac vaccine to Turkey:
Missing information is given. Now it is not true that one of them protects for a year, nor does the other protect for three months. Three more or less, one is 5-6 months, the other is 8 months. Or one is 4 months, the other is 6 months. That’s it. Otherwise, if it was a year or something, Israel wouldn’t be vaccinating right now anyway. In what month did Israel start the vaccine? In January and in the 9th month, the number of cases increased in Israel. No one can say that it protects for a year. There is no one-year data yet. I think that should be looked into. If you’re vaccinating a healthy person, safety is the priority. Protection is later in the vaccine. In this sense, inactivated vaccines are the safest. Under normal circumstances, if a man’s nose bleeds, the vaccine work is stopped, but it is not stopped in the world at the moment due to the pandemic. The pros and cons are looked into. Three months ago, some scientists were saying not to have an antibody test after vaccination, now the same people are explaining that BioNTech produces more antibodies. Some things we don’t see. Unfortunately, some of our scientists are biased.
For example, professors who do Pfizer’s clinical studies. . . The eyes of the men did not eat, they came and got me a Sinovac vaccine. If you call now and ask, they will say, ‘Oh, be a BioNTech’. Okay, but then why didn’t you become one? If they answer that. Therefore, when it is said that ‘Sinovac does not protect, luckily there is BioNTech’, it means something else. It sounds emotional to me.
