translated from Spanish: Felipe Calderón calls “remedies” to vaccines against Covid-19 CanSino and Sputnik V

Mexico.- After a note was disseminated by Excélsior where it reported that only 6 vaccines against Covid-19 have been authorized by the World Health Organization (WHO) for its emergency use, leaving canSino and Sputnik V, the former president of Mexico, Felipe Calderón Hinojosa, called remedies to these two biologicals that have been endorsed for application in the Mexican Republic. On Saturday, June 26, Twitter users shared a note from Excélsior titled “There are only six vaccines with who’s endorsement; emergency use against Covid-19” in which it was announced that the European Union does not allow to enter its territories those people who have been vaccinated with the Chinese vaccine against SARS-CoV-2, CanSino, nor the Russian, Sputnik V.Through his official account of that social network, Calderón Hinojosa, as well as dozens of Internet users, disseminated the text of the national media while asking how many millions of citizens living in the Mexican Republic were immunized with “remedies”, referring to the antigens coming from China and Russia.Read more: Parents of the 43 of Ayotzinapa demand amlo investigate more severely EPN and his close ones Felipe Calderón calls “remedies” to vaccines against Covid-19 CanSino and Sputnik V / Source : Twitter @FelipeCalderon As expected, the comments soon appeared: on the one hand, there were those who supported the position of the former president and regretted having been vaccinated with any of these doses, accusing that the government wanted to “save money”; for their part, others lashed out at the PAN[National Action Party]member, accusing that all he is doing is misinforming the citizenry. While Europe simply does not let in people who were inoculated with doses not validated by the WHO, the United States, in addition to considering as unvaccinated those who have been administered the biologics not authorized by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), people who received the vaccine in an unauthorized laboratory, gives them the option of revaccinating them, after 28 days of receiving the antigen not endorsed by the appropriate authorities. To date, the Covid-19 vaccines that have received WHO approval are those from Pfizer-BioNTech, AstraZeneca, Janssen (Johnson & Johnson), Sinopharm, Sinovac and Moderna.
