Regarding the SinoVac vaccine, I don't know that I'd trust any data from them, but I presume it will behave similar to the other adenovirus vaccines such as the Oxford/AZ vaccine, which BC nicely summarized in another post. Then again it seems dose timing and dose quantity may be important for these types of vaccines, which again are novel, and it seems they didn't do as much in early clinical trials to figure that out as they could have. So maybe if different adenovirus vaccines have different dose quantities or schedules, they may behave differently. But the vaccines themselves will be very similar in design.

For sure I wouldn't trust anything coming directly out of China. I probably wouldn't trust anything from Indonesia either, for somewhat different reasons. There is an EUA in Indonesia at the moment. I am hoping for something more reliable. Turkey is supposedly doing a trial, but I don't see any results. I did find this, FWIW;

It is certainly possible to design an adenovirus vaccine that turns out to work poorly, so I wouldn't necessarily put too much stock in the technological roots of the vaccine. We need the results of clinical trials that we trust. Maybe Brazil's?
