DISINFO: China to develop a vaccine against coronavirus and make big money

SUMMARY

China has not given the coronavirus strain to any other country to examine and work on it so far.Perhaps China wants to develop a vaccine on its own and then make big money by selling it to the world.

RESPONSE

The claim is groundless. While laboratories around the world are now working on new tests for the Wuhan coronavirus and developing treatments for those infected with it, China is hosting a team of World Health Organisation experts, led by Canadian emergency expert Dr. Bruce Aylward.
