Entering May, the epidemic in Taiwan is like a runaway horse, starting to let itself go. On May 28, Taiwan’s Epidemic Command Center announced that Taiwan had 555 new local COVID-19 patients in one day.
At this critical moment, some politicians in Taiwan are using the lives of ordinary citizens as bargaining chips. They are unwilling to accept domestically produced vaccines, but are grateful for the "blank checks" for vaccines issued by the United States and Japan, causing citizens to start fighting for their own safety. Bao took to the streets and paraded.
Taiwanese experts doubt the effectiveness of Chinese vaccines
Most officials in Taiwan have an extreme sense of prejudice against Chinese vaccines. Beginning in April and May, COVID-19 epidemics began to appear in various parts of Taiwan due to the influence of surrounding countries.
Because the epidemic has exceeded 100 for several consecutive days, older Taiwanese compatriots began to panic. During an interview, the man wearing a three-layer mask on his face directly criticized Chen Shizhong, the irresponsible head of the Taiwan Epidemic Command Center: "Instead of doing a good job in nationwide census and screening, we will do some nonsense."
is even more radical. Residents of the island hung banners on the side of the road, accusing the government of not taking action and not providing vaccines to citizens. Chen Shizhong, Taiwan’s epidemic commander, wants to kill the Chinese vaccine. Previously, there were institutions in Shanghai and Jiangsu that wanted to provide vaccines to Taiwan, but Chen Shizhong said: "We are interested in vaccines that they are not vaccinating. But we are afraid to use vaccines that they are vaccinating." He used these words to belittle Chinese vaccines.
Taiwan’s crazy AZ vaccine is not reliable
Although Taiwan’s epidemic commander Chen Shizhong said that he has obtained 30 million doses of foreign-made COVID-19 vaccines for Taiwanese people, the actual number of vaccinations in Taiwan is still only 40,000 shots a day. Ordinary residents simply can't get it.
At this time, Japan stated that it would provide the British AZ new crown vaccine in stock to Taiwan. As soon as the news came out, some Taiwan compatriots were the first to explode. Japan has not cleared the snow in front of its house, so how can it be so kind as to provide them with vaccines?
Moreover, the reputation of the AZ vaccine is not good. During the large-scale vaccination of AZ vaccine in Europe, more than 80 cases of thrombosis occurred in the vaccinated personnel. Therefore, and the European Union have temporarily suspended the AZ vaccine and require young people under the age of 30 to change their vaccinations themselves. Japan used the AZ vaccine in the initial stage. As far as the epidemic situation in other countries is concerned, the protective effect of the AZ vaccine is far less than expected. Young women frequently suffer from blood clots, so Japan recently announced that it will no longer use the AZ vaccine. It is normal for
vaccines to have risks. Due to individual differences, the human immune system reacts differently after vaccination. Mild fever, pain, redness and swelling, and even allergies are relatively normal. However, the AZ vaccine directly brings side effects of blood clots to the human body, and if not handled properly, there is a risk of fatality.
The safety of Chinese vaccines is much higher than other
Whether it is clinical data, vaccination base or actual protective effect, the safety of Chinese vaccines is far better than others. Currently, if Taiwan wants to vaccinate its citizens as much as possible, the best choice is China's self-developed vaccine. Because the Chinese vaccine has been vaccinated by a wide range of the population, the actual protective effect is excellent.
The large-scale vaccine outbreak in a Brazilian town relied on the role of Chinese vaccines to control the epidemic in the town within a short period of time and prevent the spread of the epidemic.
The WHO has approved the launch of the Chinese vaccine, and some foreign officials have personally certified the authenticity of the vaccine. The president of National Taiwan University Hospital issued an article on May 26 saying that the current hospital situation is very bad. Medical staff are working under high pressure, beds are collapsing, and there are even clusters of cases in the hospital. He accuses Taiwanese officials of inaction.
If Taiwanese officials remain stubborn and still reject Chinese vaccines and exaggerately promote foreign vaccines, Taiwan's road to fighting the epidemic may be arduous and long.
