According to Taiwanese media reports, Taiwan's self-produced high-end vaccine announced on the 10th that the phase II clinical trial was successfully released, and the next phase III trial will be carried out towards the "immune bridging" method. Taipei Mayor Ke Wen-je HTML questioned on the 411th that there are internationally certified vaccines on the market, and now they use normal saline as the control group, which is not in line with medical ethics. He even criticized the DPP authorities: "You are high-end 881 yuan ( New Taiwan Dollar , the same below) more expensive than others. I don't know if it works, don't let politics distort professionalism!"
Ke Wenzhe said that self-produced vaccines must have antibodies, but whether they are protective is the problem. Now, the third phase clinical trial is conducted. If one group is vaccinated and one group is vaccinated, it may not be in line with medical ethics at this stage. Because there are 7 internationally certified vaccines on the market, and all have undergone third-level tests of more than 30,000 to 40,000 people. In this case, Oxford AZ or Moderna vaccine should be used as the control group for self-produced vaccines. It is really unreasonable to use normal saline.
"Don't let politics distort professionalism!" Ke Wenzhe sighed that science still needs to be discussed with science, but ordinary people don't understand what they are talking about. If you want to debate professionally, then everyone will come, but obviously the people don't understand, forget it. It is said that the price of high-end vaccines is as high as 881 yuan, which is 8 times more expensive than AZ vaccines. Ke Wenzhe is very acidic. AZ is 111 yuan per dose, Moderna is 416 yuan, and Pfizer is 4540 yuan, but the high-end vaccine costs 881 yuan. "You are more expensive than others, and I don't know if you are effective or not." If you have a license and certification, it's fine, but the self-produced vaccine not only has unknown protection, but also much more expensive.
According to media polls, Taiwanese people have the highest willingness to get internationally certified vaccines, but they are only 7% for the high-end and 4% for UNA. Taiwanese people have no confidence in whether their own vaccines are produced. Ko Wen-je said that he doesn’t know how to answer. If the authorities send the vaccines, they will find a way to get the vaccines. Anyway, the authorities will play cards, so his attitude is to get the international certification, and if they don’t have the certification, they will also get the vaccines.
