The government pushed the vaccine bubble to urge injections and established a vaccine protection fund to provide support to citizens who experienced serious abnormalities after the injections. Only the 65-year-old cleaner with mild hypertension suffered a stroke one week after being vaccinated by Kexing in mid-August, which caused half of the body. He was paralyzed and incapacitated. After the incident, it was learned that the case was judged not to be related to vaccines after many inquiries, and the Vaccine Protection Fund also refused to award compensation.
Yuan Haiwen, a member of the Democratic Party, assisted her in obtaining detailed information on the assessment from the government twice, but she was not given a reply to the procedures and rationale for the assessment.
Yuan Haiwen believes that the public believes that the government is going to vaccinate, but they have nowhere to turn to help after problems arise. He criticized the government for not even notifying the results of the evaluation of abnormal events.
"Hong Kong 01" enquired with the Department of Health about the incident and is waiting for a reply.
The 65-year-old Ms. Tang worked as an outsourced cleaner in a park in Tsuen Wan under the management of the Leisure and Cultural Services Department. Due to the government’s vigorous promotion of vaccination, the vaccination bubble has been launched since September. I was worried about the side effects of the vaccine and dismissed the idea of injections. However, under the pressure of the company and the encouragement of relatives and friends, the first dose of Kexing vaccine was finally given on August 13.

Ms. Deng has no long-term illness and no history of cardiovascular disease in her family. Although she had mild hypertension when she saw the doctor at the beginning of this year, the doctor said that she did not need to take any medication.
After receiving a dose of the vaccine, she developed headache the next day and could not identify the direction and other minor stroke symptoms. However, she did not know the severity of her stroke. As of August 19, she suddenly sat on the ground at home with her face tilted to one side and was sent off due to the stroke. He was admitted to Yan Chai Hospital for treatment. The medical staff reported his case to the Department of Health the next day, which was a serious or unexpected abnormal event of vaccination.
She stayed in the hospital for treatment for more than a month, during which time she never received any contact from the Department of Health, nor was she inquired about her condition.
Ms. Deng’s daughter, Ms. Li, asked Yuan Haiwen for help, and Yuan Haiwen applied for compensation from the Vaccine Protection Fund at the end of October. It was not until mid-November that the insurance company informed Ms. Deng’s case that Ms. Deng’s case had been assessed as not related to the vaccine and failed. Get compensation.
Yuan Haiwen twice wrote to the New Coronary Vaccine Clinical Events Evaluation Expert Committee and the Department of Health in November, requesting an explanation of what is meant by the "WHO Algorithm Process" and concluded that Ms. Deng’s stroke has nothing to do with vaccination, but the reply only mentioned The reporting process and the use of the "WHO Algorithm Process" did not explain the reasons for the conclusions.
At the beginning of this month, he used the Personal Data (Privacy) Ordinance to request information from the Department of Health for the first time in his handling of vaccine cases. However, a reply is still pending on the 10th of next month.
Ms. Li said that her mother is currently paralyzed on her left side, and she has a feeling of numbness. She has to take painkillers and blood thinners for a long time. She has also been unable to accept her stroke. She often fluctuates in her mood. She also cries in the middle of the night, "regrets the injection". He even blamed her daughter for asking her to get an injection.
Ms. Li, who is in the nail beauty industry, is currently taking care of her mother full-time. She said that she has spent nearly 100,000 yuan on medical expenses and mainly relies on savings. The mainstay of life is her sister's monthly income of about 20,000 yuan, but her younger sister also has living pressures such as mortgages.
She said that she didn't dare to get an injection when she saw her mother's situation. "There was no call to ask if something went wrong." She called the Vaccine Protection Fund "It doesn't matter, just say a few words." She feels helpless now and hopes that the government can help. I confessed, "In the beginning, if there are side effects, the government will be asked to ask the government for help," questioning the lack of protection for vaccination.
Yuan Haiwen said that the citizens believed the government to follow the call for vaccination, but there was no channel for the citizens to contact and understand the situation when there were problems, and there was no way to ask for help. He pointed out that it caused a shadow on the patients and even their families, and they did not dare to get the injections.
He asked the relevant departments to clearly explain the details of the case assessment to the patients and their families. He denounced that the current practice made the public feel that they lacked protection and did not dare to be vaccinated and even received a third injection.
Regarding the government’s requirement for civil servants to enter government buildings for injections yesterday, Yuan Haiwen expects that there will be a response from large organizations, believing that it will reduce the autonomy of working people to vaccinate. The doctor was unwilling to sign out because of the pressure, describing that the wage earners' personal wishes were no longer respected.
