In a long Weibo post previously released, Zhang Wenhong repeatedly emphasized the importance of vaccines. He mentioned that of the 2,266 cases admitted to Shanghai in the past six months, most of them were imported cases from overseas, and 94% had been vaccinated.
Among the 2,266 patients, only 0.1% were critically ill, and none of them were critically ill (needing intubation) and died.
Dr. Zhang Wenhong said that not getting vaccinated is not necessarily a problem, because the virus has become relatively weak. But the vast majority of them are not vaccinated.
Dr. Zhang also gave an example of the situation in Hong Kong. Among the deaths, 89.4% of the people were not vaccinated or only had one shot. Among those who died aged 80 or older, 91.5% were unvaccinated or had only one shot.
According to mortality analysis,The overall mortality rate was 2.03% for those who received one dose or no shots, a 23-fold difference compared to 0.09% for those who received two doses.
