CoronaVac was the first vaccine approved and used in Brazil against the Covid-19 event in January 2021.

CoronaVac does not employ the controversial mRNA technology but the traditional inactivated aluminum hydroxide-adjuvanted technology.

Nine countries are currently vaccinating toddlers against Covid-19: Cuba, China, Argentina, Bahrain, Venezuela, Colombia, Hong Kong, Chile, and the United States.

Of those, only the U.S. is using mRNA vaccines.

None of the other eight countries vaccinating toddlers are part of the First World.

Five of the eight are under the control of socialist or communist regimes.

Several use Cuban- or Chinese-made vaccines, not non-mRNA options used in Europe or North America like Johnson & Johnson or AstraZeneca.
