Why has the WTO patent waiver for COVID-19 vaccines not helped China produce/acquire the more effective vaccines produced in the EU and US?

With China reporting a quarter billion of its people have gotten COVID-19 in the last 3 weeks, I fear another super variant will be on its way. It is all humanity’s self-interest to get effective vaccines globally distributed.

@jeremiahlee my understanding is they have access but refuse to use vaccines created outside China
