The new crown pneumonia epidemic continued, Chief Executive Carrie Lam announced the progress of vaccine procurement last week, but the source of the vaccine unexpectedly caused controversy.

During the meeting with reporters before attending the executive meeting today (15th), Lam Cheng criticized some people for "maliciously spreading rumors" and politicized the incident, urging the public not to easily believe in news of unknown origin.

When asked by experts from the National Health Commission to criticize the Hong Kong government's anti-epidemic work, Lam responded that it is impossible for every job to be perfect, but the government will absorb experience and improve.

Urge citizens not to believe in rumors

Lin Zheng mentioned in his opening speech that he hopes that there will eventually be three vaccines approved by the experts of the scientific committee, which will bring peace of mind to the society. Of course, relevant data inspection and registration must be completed before use.

She mentioned that in the past weekend, "Unfortunately, as in other epidemic prevention work, a small number of people with ulterior motives maliciously spread rumors, and published many false statements about stigmatizing or politicizing the vaccine incident on the Internet, quoting an unnamed person as saying "Negative talk", she urged the public not to believe it lightly and carefully verify the source of the information.

Lin Zheng emphasized that vaccine work is based on science, and two committees in the Department of Health are responsible. The chairman of one of the committees, Xu Shuchang, has recently continued to explain relevant matters to the outside world.

A reporter asked that some experts said that they did not recommend the purchase of Kexing Bio's vaccine, why they chose to buy it in the end, and what if the final effect is not satisfactory.

In response, Lam Cheng said that it was learned that there were reports quoting unnamed people's remarks, emphasizing that the government's press release yesterday was 100% accurate, and that the government tried its best to purchase different vaccine technology platforms from two pharmaceutical factories.

She pointed out that she knew that experts had discussed the direction of vaccine procurement, so the press release also stated that she had consulted expert opinions.

Lin Zheng emphasized that the new crown pneumonia vaccine must be pre-purchased, which is different from the general existing vaccines, but has to compete with other countries to buy.

Zeng Guang, a member of the high-level expert group of the National Health Commission and the former chief scientist of epidemiology of the China Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, also criticized that the anti-epidemic work has not been implemented. How does the Chief Executive respond? .

Lam Cheng said that the anti-epidemic work can of course be done better. He does not think that the government's work is perfect. In the past year, he has been summing up experience and improvements. However, he believes that the anti-epidemic work has certain difficulties, and the legal restrictions and the affordability of the public must be taken into consideration Waiting for problems, it is impossible for every job to be perfect. I hope the citizens will understand.

She also mentioned that what the mainland experts said was not that there was a problem with the SAR government's anti-epidemic strategy, but there was room for improvement in implementation.
