Some media quoted a study by Fudan University as saying that if China abandons the "zero reset", 1.6 million people will die.
He Bailiang, director of the Center for Infection and Infectious Diseases at the University of Hong Kong, said today (12th) that the report was taken out of context, emphasizing that the focus of the study was "ditch acupuncture" and the early distribution of oral medicines to high-risk patients can help transition to a normal state.
He also criticized that the government did not make every effort to call for "ditch needles" for people over 60 years old, and chose to use Fubitai for the third injection.

Some media quoted a study by Shanghai's Fudan University earlier as saying that if the Chinese government abandons the "zero-clearing" policy, the mainland epidemic will break out in a "tsunami-like" manner, possibly resulting in 1.6 million deaths.
He Boliang said on the commercial program "Starting on a Sunny Day" in the morning that the research was based on mathematical model calculations, and the media reports were not comprehensive and were taken out of context.
He explained that after studying the vaccination data in the Mainland in March, and then "lying flat", giving up other epidemic prevention measures and letting the epidemic break out, but this situation will not happen.

He Bailiang pointed out that the study mainly discusses five main intervention strategies, and the ultimate goal is to analyze how to smoothly transition from a "soft landing" to a normal state. Strict measures such as lockdowns to curb the spread have shown that there is no single method that can significantly reduce the mortality rate. Instead, a mixed strategy should be involved. If all five measures are effectively implemented, the mortality rate can be lower than the annual seasonal flu.

He also pointed out that the mainland has a tendency to advise the public to "ditch the needle" when making an appointment for the third injection, and choose the recombinant protein vaccine or adenovirus vector vaccine developed by the mainland. Very effective.
He criticized the Hong Kong government for announcing "ditch acupuncture", but it "was rhetorical but not real." The proportion of elderly people over 60 who choose "ditch acupuncture" is not high. Inaccurate, "Our medical staff, you simply hand over the wave to the elder, and let him... make his own choice. This is not the most responsible way." He emphasized that it should be accurately explained to the elder. Only with the safety and effectiveness of ditch acupuncture can we get out of the wave of the epidemic.
