This is only partially true. While these other vaccines (with the exception of sinovac) are not mRNA vaccines like the Pfitzer/Moderna they are not quite traditional vaccines either. They employ viral vectors as their 'active ingredient' instead of deactivated viruses.
I looked into this today and read specs of Sinovac vaccine. The above is incorrect. Sinovac is comprised of deactivated viruses. So it cant cause covid in any way, neither it carries the experimental nature of other vaccines. That's also why repeated shots with it doesnt seem to affect people a single bit. This vaccine is likely a major reason why China got out of Covid that easy while other countries still dabble in the mud.
