Except the first vaccines mentioned require functional cold chains, which a country like Brazil does not have.

While things like the Gamelaya vaccine deserved the slagging it got, that in no way makes me any happier.

We need vaccines like the ones from China and Russia that don't require negative stupid Celsius to store and distribute so we can get everybody on this planet vaccinated.

That's all well and good, but Seychelles is the most vaccinated country on earth, got the Chinese vaccine, and had another COVID surge, leading to a Chinese authority advising them to give everyone a THIRD DOSE of the vaccine.

That's ... unfortunate.

I was really hoping that someone was going to have a useful inactivated virus vaccine as storing and transporting those is much easier.

It looks like J&J is going to have the field to itself for a single dose, reasonable storage vaccine.
