[New Tang Dynasty News from June 3, 2021, Beijing time]The Hong Kong Chinese Communist Pneumonia (COVID-19) Vaccine Clinical Events Evaluation Expert Committee (the “Expert Committee”) recently made a decision that future deaths will only be “potentially related to vaccination.” ”Will be announced to the public only under the circumstances. Outsiders questioned that the move was suspected of deliberately concealing the serious side effects of the domestic vaccine.
On the evening of Tuesday (June 1) local time, the Hong Kong government issued a notice stating that the expert committee met on Monday and decided to publish the safety surveillance report on vaccines on the government’s special website on a monthly basis. The meeting also passed a new decision. From now on, for individual deaths, the committee will only announce it to the public if it confirms that it is “potentially related to vaccination.”
The outside world has noticed that the expert committee has set a rule earlier, that is, if there is a clear medical reason that can explain the cause of certain clinical events (including deaths), or the time frame for reporting has exceeded the time frame for reporting, medical staff can be regarded as ” Non-compliance with the reporting criteria”, and does not need to be reported to the committee as an abnormal vaccination event.
Regarding the above actions taken by the expert committee, public opinion in Hong Kong raised strong doubts, believing that the committee was suspected of trying to conceal the fact that the side effects of domestic vaccines might cause death.
For this reason, the Secretary for Food and Health of Hong Kong, Chen Zhaoshi, repeatedly emphasized in an interview with Radio Hong Kong on Wednesday that the aforementioned decision made by the expert committee does not mean that relevant information will not be provided to the public in the future, nor will any cases be hidden. It only announces cases related to vaccination. This will make it clearer and prevent the public from having erroneous views on vaccines due to only one-sided information.
Chen Zhaoshi also mentioned the “preliminary concept” of restricting the entry of unvaccinated people into places such as restaurants, schools, and theaters. She said that the details of the proposal will be discussed with the Education Bureau and the school, and the problem will be considered from the perspective of controlling risks and protecting the general public. Then, Chen repeatedly emphasized that vaccination is the only way to better control the epidemic, and he hopes that citizens will be vaccinated as soon as possible.
Since Hong Kong began mass vaccination of the domestic-made Sinovac COVID-19 Vaccine at the end of February this year, only about 20% of people have received the vaccine.
In order to increase the public’s enthusiasm for vaccination, the Hong Kong government has done both: On the one hand, government agencies give vaccinators holidays and lotteries, mobilize airlines to provide vaccinators with discounted air tickets, and even contact real estate developers to give out tens of millions Luxury suites are used as prizes in the lottery to attract people to get vaccinated within the prescribed time limit. On the other hand, the Hong Kong government has also announced that vaccination is an indispensable requirement for going abroad, and plans to study restrictions on the entry of unvaccinated people into restaurants , Schools, sites, theaters and sports venues.
But on the whole, the willingness of Hong Kong people to vaccinate the domestically-made Chinese communist pneumonia vaccine is still very low. The main reason is that the side effects of domestic vaccines are relatively large, and the safety cannot be guaranteed.
According to the information released by the Hospital Authority, 10 people who had been vaccinated against the Chinese Communist Party pneumonia died within a week from May 17 to 23, and 5 new cases of miscarriage of pregnant women were added. Since the large-scale launch of the Chinese Communist pneumonia vaccine on February 26, as of May 23, a total of 68 people who have been vaccinated in Hong Kong have died, and there have been 19 cases of miscarriage after pregnant women have been vaccinated.
According to Hong Kong’s “Epoch Times” report, as of May 23, a total of 210 people in Hong Kong who have been vaccinated have had an acute stroke, 9 of whom have died; a total of 74 people have suffered a myocardial infarction after the injection, of which 2 The person has died.
However, for these cases that worries Hong Kong people, Zeng Haohui, a member of the Hong Kong Vaccine Advisory Committee, explained that death from vaccination is a “psychological illusion.”
At a press conference held on May 31, Zeng Haohui claimed that the expert committee had studied about 20 cases of death after injection, the cause involved acute myocardial infarction, etc., “none of them was related to vaccination.”
