A Canadian human trial of a potential COVID-19 vaccine has yet to start because China has not signed off on sending the vaccine candidate here

Nearly two months later, though, not a single Canadian has been given Ad5-nCoV – because, as was first reported by iPolitics, not a single shipment of the vaccine candidate has arrived in the country.A spokesman for Health Canada told CTVNews.ca on Monday that Chinese authorities have yet to sign off on sending the potential vaccine here.

"The vaccine candidate for Phase 1 clinical trials has not yet been approved by Chinese customs for shipment to Canada," Andre Gagnon said in a statement. "Once the Canadian Center for Vaccinology receives the vaccine candidate it will start the clinical trial for CanSino, under the regulatory supervision of Health Canada."

CanSino Biologics, the biopharmaceutical company that developed the Ad5-nCoV along with Chinese government scientists, did not respond to a request for comment before this story was published. In a statement to CTVNews.ca, a spokesman for Innovation, Science and Industry Minister Navdeep Bains described Ad5-nCoV as "one of the leading candidate vaccines against COVID-19 in the world" and said an arrangement is in place that will allow it to be manufactured in Canada "for emergency pandemic use" if it is approved for distribution by Health Canada.

More strong arming by China.😑

Good I wouldn’t take any vaccines they make anyways

China stick your vaccine where the sun ain’t ever gonna shine! If I wasn’t an anti-VAX her, I am now. Apparently all the babies are getting healthier due to the fact that they have not had their vaccines. And SIDDS have gone way down. Praise God

China?

I absolutely believe we will find a vaccine that will greatly reduce the severity of the disease. I guess China wants to soften the population up before they invade.

Why the fuck at a time when the origins of the virus are unknown and appear to be man made would anyone accept a syrup fromthe country of original outbreak? Is this literally the leadership we have in Ontario? You all can’t be that stupid and lead a country...I’m sorry but wtf

China has already started vaccinating 

Send over the 2 Canadians detained in China.

Yikes FoxNews GlobalBC the China Canada border alive and well

Ban Chinese from entering Canada!!!!

Hasn't China done enough. Why would anyone want to be injected with a vaccine from the people who covered up the spread of this virus.

Uh oh. They might wanna trade Meng wanzhou for sending the vaccine candidate 🤔🤔

Ooops, did no one see a this flaw in their testing plan

Queue all the uninformed anti vaxxers....1...2...3...my guess is they won't wear masks either! Because science isn't real! 😷

I will not take a made in China vaccine. Canadafirst selfsufficiency buycanadian

Is this for real ?

China is directly responsible for this tragedy and should repay every country’s debt incurred because of covid- now they stall a vaccine

Calling all pro vaxxers. Here’s your chance to prove vaccines work and are safe and effective

Why the heck would anyone agree to be a human guinea pig for a Chinese vaccine? What could possibly go wrong?

Every Politician and 'Expert' championing these drugs first give it to themselves - followed by their friends and loved ones. In 3-4 years we will see how that turned out and then decide if it is safe for our loved ones. .👈🤡

If China has anything to do with a vaccine 💉 I don’t want it!!

I dont want to be injected with Chinese poison.

What a surprise

Must be the 5G under house arrest.

Why are we still buying anything from this rogue state? banhuawei

Surprise, surprise. ChinaVsWorld

AGIAN WHY THE FUCK ARE WE DEPENDENT ON CHINA FOR ANYTHING...

I'm sick of China playing their game. 🤬 Look at me ! I have you by the short hairs. 🤢 Don't ever comment on our government. Don't tell us what to do! Every country is tiptoeing around them. Makes me sick 🇨🇦

Can we just pull the plug on China. Run by crooks, oligarchs and murderous despots.

...I thought human trial was started back in May in NB...

Are they just gonna send some poor dissident from one of their gulag concentration camps?

Of course

So who's up for testing a Chinese vaccine? Any of you CTV folks want to volunteer?

China is the scum of the Earth.

Good.
