He also told his friends in the message box that he supports "high-end" vaccines produced in Taiwan, saying that science has proven that "high-end" vaccines are the most effective and safest.
On the 23rd, the writer surnamed Lu shared on Facebook that he had received the "high-end" vaccine
After the writer surnamed Lu returned home after taking the "high-end" vaccine, he expressed that he felt unwell and was said to still be unable to sleep late at night. This morning, his family found that he had not gotten up for a long time. When they went to the room, they found that he was not breathing.
According to the Taiwanese media "ETtoday News Cloud", the family of the writer surnamed Lu notified the Fire Department at 9:22 this morning, alleging that after taking the "high-end" vaccine yesterday, he suddenly lost breathing and consciousness today. Relevant personnel were notified. They rushed to the scene for first aid, but when they arrived, they found that the writer surnamed Lu had suffered "pre-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest" and was pronounced dead after being sent to the hospital.
According to family members of the writer surnamed Lu, he had a history of hypertension but no other physical diseases. Taiwanese media said that it remains to be clarified whether the cause of death of the writer surnamed Lu is related to the "high-end" vaccine.
Regarding this suspected death after vaccination, Taoyuan City Information Department Director Zhan Heshun said that after they learned of the news in the morning, the Health Bureau had notified the "Epidemic Command Center" in accordance with the procedures, and the city government will also assist the family members to handle the follow-up related business. As for whether the death of the writer surnamed Lu was related to vaccination with the "high-end" vaccine, it still needs to be explained by the "command center".
It is worth mentioning that although Taiwan has started to administer a self-developed "high-end" vaccine, this factory-produced vaccine is the first in the world to use "immune bridging" technology to replace the phase III trial and pass the Emergency Authorization (EUA) of the place of use. The COVID-19 vaccine has not undergone the third phase of human trials, cannot provide protection data, and has not obtained WHO certification. Therefore, many people on the island still have great doubts about the "high-end" vaccine.
"Legislator" Li Dewei bluntly stated on the social platform Facebook on the 23rd, what about Tsai Ing-wen's high-end vaccination? She has a dedicated medical team, but do the public have one? "Recognize the reality! Everyone should make the most reasonable decision based on the disclosed vaccine information and their own actual situation, rather than based on who should be vaccinated and who should not be vaccinated." He also criticized the DPP authorities for the worst thing: not Willing to provide complete information, the protective power of high-end vaccines is unknown, and the antibody value of the first dose of vaccination is unknown. He tells the public nothing, but he uses all kinds of tricks, including teachers, school caterers, soldiers, etc., and they are all overtly and covertly forced to beat him." High-end” vaccine. "It was supposed to be 'high-end to save the whole people', but now it is completely reversed, and it has become 'all the people to save the high-end.'"
Chairman of the Kuomintang Jiang Qichen also said that Tsai Ing-wen can choose to use high-end, but please let the people have other vaccine options. When asked by the media that he had said he would get a "high-end" vaccine, Jiang Qichen responded that if "high-end" passed the phase three trials, he could be a test subject, but "high-end" has not passed the phase three trials so far. In addition to the island, when the "high-end" vaccine lacks phase III trial data and applied for emergency use authorization (EUA) from the health authorities of the Taiwan authorities, CNN was interviewing high-end vaccine executives. During the process, we questioned whether it was too hasty to apply for EUA without knowing the effectiveness of the vaccine? The high-end response to this is, "If you don't hit me, you have no protection!"
