Experts are divided on whether the vaccine pass policy should continue to be implemented!
Gao Benn, Chair Professor of Epidemiology at the School of Public Health of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Hong Kong, and Chen Deguang, Honorary Assistant Professor of the Department of Pharmacology and Pharmacy, published a commentary in the newspaper yesterday (16th), suggesting that the policy of compulsory use of vaccine passports for adults under the age of 60 should be abolished.
Xu Shuchang, a government expert advisor and chair professor of the Department of Respiratory Medicine at CUHK, responded on the radio program "Millenniums" this morning (17th) that he believed that the government would not agree with the two people's teachings, and stressed that "it doesn't matter if a place coexists with the virus." Hong Kong still adopts dynamic clearing.
Chen Deguang also expressed his own views on the same program this morning. He believes that the purpose of the vaccine barrier is to prevent the virus from spreading, but neither Fubita nor Kexing could prevent the fifth wave, and the fifth wave ends because most people have naturally Therefore, it is not believed that the vaccine can prevent the sixth and seventh waves, and it is emphasized that everyone is encouraged to get injections. It is just that the proportion of young people who are seriously ill or die is low, and it will not put pressure on the medical system.
Xu Shuchang pointed out that injections are always needed to stimulate the immune system to improve protection.

Xu Shuchang: Injections are always needed to stimulate the immune system to improve protection
Xu Shuchang believes that most people in the government and society will not agree with the two people's statement on the vaccine pass. No matter if you get one or two injections of Sinovac or Fubitai, the antibodies will drop over time. If you don't get the third injection, what will happen? In response to a new wave of epidemics or the emergence of other mutant viruses, it is emphasized that it is always necessary to re-stimulate the immune system, enhance protection, and establish an immune barrier with the third injection before continuing to relax social distancing measures. In addition, the mainland insists on dynamic clearing. If you want to clear customs Also reduce cases.

More than 70 adults in Singapore have received the third dose
He continued to point out that a large-scale study in the United States pointed out that after nine months, the protective power of T cells will decline, and after the third injection, the protection will increase again. At present, many countries have strategies for allowing citizens to receive the third injection. For example, in Singapore, more than 70% of the citizens have received the third shot. Even though there are still new cases every day in the local area, most of them are mild, with very few deaths, and the medical system can handle it.
Regarding the claim that there are few severe cases and deaths among young people and will not burden the medical system, Xu pointed out that if it is coexisting with the virus, it does not matter, because people with mild symptoms do not need to be hospitalized, but Hong Kong does not adopt coexistence, so the dynamic Under the direction of clearing, many cases of infection still have to be quarantined, so "the bad words have no impact on the medical system."

Chen Deguang: The fifth wave of reduction does not depend on vaccines
Chen Deguang reiterated that the main effect of the vaccine is to build a barrier and prevent severe illness, and the experience of the fifth wave also reflects that both vaccines failed to prevent the fifth wave, and the reduction of the fifth wave did not depend on the vaccine, so it is not believed that the vaccine can Prevent the sixth and seventh waves of outbreaks, increase the number of deaths among young people, and reduce severe cases. The pressure on the medical system is low. Therefore, on the premise that the protection of the public is not a major problem, it cannot be deprived of their right to refuse to fight.

He emphasized that his position encourages everyone to get injections, because it is beneficial to protect themselves, and the vaccination of the elderly can not only protect themselves, but also prevent severe or fatal cases, and protect the medical system, but it does not affect the public interest. The basics force young people to be vaccinated.
