Marie Neige, a call center operator in Seychelles, was eager to be vaccinated. Like the majority of the residents in the tiny island nation, she received China’s Sinopharm vaccine in March, and expected to be fully protected in a few weeks. “The vaccine was supposed to protect us — not from the virus, but the symptoms,” she said. Instead, the company, which has made two varieties of coronavirus vaccines, is facing mounting questions about the inoculations. Now, Seychelles, the world’s most vaccinated nation, has had a surge in cases even though much of its population was inoculated with Sinopharm.
