Recently, a piece of news has aroused heated discussions among netizens, and it was officially confirmed that Yang Xiaoming, the former chief engineer of Sinopharm Group, is suspected of serious violations of discipline and law. At present, he has been removed from his post as a deputy to the National People's Congress in accordance with the law.
Everyone has basically been vaccinated against the new crown, and they are very concerned:
Who is he?
Why was he arrested?
Is there a problem with my vaccination?
01 Who is Yang Xiaoming?
According to public information on the Internet, Yang Xiaoming was born in February 1962 and is an expert in biological products in mainland China, and has led China Biotech to independently develop 4 new crown diagnostic reagents, 4 new crown specific treatment drugs, and 4 new crown vaccines. Among them, the inactivated vaccine was marketed globally after 335 days and was included in the global "emergency use list" by the WHO, becoming the first new crown vaccine approved by the WHO in developing countries.
He also served as the director of the National Joint Vaccine Engineering Technology Research Center, the chief scientist of the national "863" program vaccine project, the former chief engineer of Sinopharm Group, and the chairman of China Biologics. Crucially, this Chinese biotech is the company that produces the Sinovac vaccine in Beijing, and about 500 million people across the country have been injected with this vaccine.
02 He was investigated for something
Many netizens are concerned about whether his investigation has anything to do with vaccine production?
On April 26, according to the announcement issued by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress:
The Standing Committee of the Tibet Autonomous Regional People's Congress decided to remove Yang Xiaoming from his post as a deputy to the 14th National People's Congress, and the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress reported that Yang Xiaoming was involved in serious violations of discipline and law.
However, the exact reason for this is unknown. However, the 2021 financial report of China Biotech Company in charge of him shows that the revenue is 26.86 billion yuan, and the company makes a big profit of 90 billion!
03 Is there any potential safety hazard of Sinovac vaccine in Beijing?
Some netizens also said: Since receiving their vaccine, a lot of hair has begun to fall out.
There are also frequent colds, decreased body immunity, and so on
However, some netizens believe that being arrested is a personal matter, and the vaccine produced should be fine. As a vaccine invested in the research and development of the country, a large number of clinical trials have been conducted, and the quality should be fine, and this vaccine has been included in the global "emergency use list" by the WHO.
Finally, what vaccine did you get, and did you react?
