China Gave COVID-19 Vaccine Candidate to N. Korea's Kim, US Analyst Says

Reuters

   SEOUL - China has provided North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and his
   family with an experimental coronavirus vaccine, a U.S. analyst said
   Tuesday, citing two unidentified Japanese intelligence sources.

   Harry Kazianis, a North Korea expert at the Center for the National
   Interest think tank in Washington, said the Kims and several senior
   North Korean officials had been vaccinated.

   It was unclear which company had supplied its drug candidate to the
   Kims and whether it had proven to be safe, he added.
