Agree, Some people in SL think they are relatives of QE II and, they should not get Chinese medicine and QE II will send them UK products. We in AUS did not get any yet, most here are relatives of QE II (haha)

China, aided by WHO gave the virus to the world. Now China aided by WHO gives the vaccine. What would be the outcome? By the way why is Astrazeneca vaccine so much in short supply and the Chinese one freely available?
