    Why is everyone online so incredulous of this breakthrough? Is it just Sinophobia or are there reasons to doubt Chinese medical findings?

      There’s reason to doubt all sensationalist medical headlines

      But this is 1 patient, no long term effects studied (just doesn’t need insulin injections), and hasn’t been validated

      Nothing to do with China

      Their Covid vaxx was trash. My aunt’s friend was a UAE resident, and got sinovac Covid shot. He later caught and died from covid, so that’s my anecdotal reason not to trust it, but if it is true, this would be a great thing.
