(Reuters file photo)The Chinese embassy in Thailand says critics of the Chinese-made Sinovac Covid-19 vaccine are undermining Beijing's good intentions of helping Thailand fight the outbreak. The developer of the Sinovac vaccine is studying new variants of the coronavirus and testing the vaccine on these mutated strains. "The Chinese embassy urges them to stop this serious wrongdoing (devaluing the Sinovac vaccine and misguiding the public about it)," the embassy said. "Some of the information presented by the opposition about the quality of the Sinovac vaccine contained errors," he added. The quality of the Sinovac vaccine was criticised when the opposition accused Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha and Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul of mismanaging vaccine procurements.
