She also pointed out that if only one injection of Kexing is given, the mortality rate after infection is 5.83%, while that of Fubitai is 3.44%, but the point is that both have 2 to 4 times the protection power than those who have not received the same injection. "So the question isn't about baa injections...whether or not injections have the biggest impact."

Among them, 4 patients died at a young age. The first patient was a 44-year-old patient. The hypoxia at birth caused ischemic necrosis of the brain, which was already unfit for use. He also had liver cirrhosis and was a chronically ill patient.
The second patient is a 48-year-old patient with congenital motor neuron disease. He is also incapable of doing things. He also has diabetes and thyroid line problems. He has long-term follow-up for food and medicine.
The third is a 52-year-old patient. His immune system is out of balance, affecting his lungs and kidneys. He has end-stage renal failure and needs to be cleaned.
The fourth is a 58-year-old patient with lung cancer that has spread to the bone and brain.
Zhang Zhujun pointed out that he noticed that some media reports were "misleading" recently.
She said that at present, more than 80% of the elderly in the community are vaccinated with Kexing, and about 20% of Fubitai are vaccinated, which is similar to the situation of the elderly who are infected with the virus over the age of 80.
The mortality rate of infection with one injection was 0.7%, and the mortality rate dropped to 0.09% after two injections
She said that according to the data analysis, if not only the elderly, the mortality rate of everyone who received two injections is 0.09%; if only one injection is given, regardless of whether they are vaccinated with Fubitai or Kexing, the mortality rate is 0.7%.
She described the difference between the two sets of data, "that is, if it is a word, even if it is a single shot, it has a great protective power."
She continued that elderly people over 80 years old accounted for most of the deaths. Among the more than 5,000 deaths, 3,837 people belonged to this group, of which 74% (or 2,837 people) did not have injections. Therefore, she emphasized that injections will definitely help. .
The remaining 26% had injections.
After one dose of Kexing, the death rate of infection is 5.83%, which is higher than that of Fubitai
Zhang Zhujun said that among the elderly over 80 years old who were infected with the virus, the mortality rate without vaccination was 15%; if only one injection was given, the mortality rate was 5.59%; and after two injections, the mortality rate was 2.62%. She emphasized that after one injection, whether vaccinated with Kexing or Fubitai, the mortality rate can be 3 times higher than that of people who have not been injected; while the mortality rate of two injections is 5.7 times higher.
Zhang also pointed out that if only one injection of Kexing is given, the mortality rate after infection is 5.83%, while that of Fubitix is 3.44%, both of which are 2 to 4 times more protective than those who have not received the same shot, "So the problem is It's not about the baa needle...whether or not the injection system has the biggest impact."
