ChenWei, a Chinese Army epidemiologist investigating to stop the new coronavirus epidemic, has injected a vaccine against covid-19 that is still under development.
The images of the maneuver that this 53-year-old woman has performed with six members of her team have caused a stir in social networks, since that preparation had not been tested in humans.
The Chinese authorities shared these snapshots on the Weibo social network, but subsequently deleted that publication because when it was discovered that the protagonists had not performed the relevant previous tests, explains the IB Times medium.
