The confirmed fatality rate in Taiwan is 3.2%! "These 2 vaccines" mixed vaccination fosters strong immunity

The number of deaths from covid in Taiwan has totaled 411 people on 12 June 2021, with a fatality rate of 3.2%. Vaccines have become the focus of attention. Currently, Taiwan has Moderna and AZ vaccines under use.

As to whether it is possible to mix the vaccines, in this regard, Zhang Shangchun, the convener of the expert advisory group of the command centre, confirms that the ability to neutralize antibodies is more ideal if the BNT vaccine is given to AZ. 

Zhang Shangchun, the convener of the expert advisory group, said today that mixing-vaccinating models have been adopted in foreign countries, Europe and other places. According to data reports, the immunity and neutralizing antibodies of these patients have changed after mixing-vaccinating. Recently, Spain informally reported and in the German paper report, this is stated although it has not been fully reviewed. It shows that the AZ vaccine is administered first, and then the BNT Pfizer vaccine is given. It is indeed more ideal to neutralize antibodies than just AZ vaccine.

Zhang Shangchun further explained that theoretically, after injecting an adenovirus vector vaccine, and then using another mRNA vaccine made on a different platform, there is a better and stronger immune response in theory. In fact, there are preliminary data showing that in the future the mixing-vaccinating mode will be considered for adoption in Taiwan.

Chronic latent diseases in Taiwan's second wave of the epidemic

Zhang Shangchun, the convener of the expert advisory group, said on 8 June that from the data from 11 May to 7 June, of the more than 200 deaths, 92% were over 60 years old, and 83% had chronic latent diseases. 

The high mortality rate in Taiwan is due to chronic latent diseases. "It is no secret that the epidemic is coming very urgent." Zhang Shangchun said at the time that in this epidemic, most of the deaths were indeed elderly people with high blood pressure, diabetes, etc. Latent diseases and the presence of patients at the same time are important factors for death.

Many covid deaths in Taiwan due to happy hypoxia

The epidemic situation in Taiwan has not slowed down. Recently, a number of cases have been diagnosed after death. Many of them are inferred to be related to invisible hypoxia (happy hypoxia). 

News (9)

Seek medical treatment if fingers and lips are blue or purple

In this regard, some doctors reminded that if people have chest tightness, short of breath, inability to breathe deeply, or fingers and lips that are blue, or purple, they should seek medical treatment as soon as possible. They can also be judged by the "6 minutes walking test". As for some people will use the "nail pressing method" to see the speed of discoloration, thoracologists say this is the wrong way.

"Happy hypoxia" causes death. The self-monitoring of a blood oxygen machine is faster than one can imagine. Be vigilant in advance if one has chest tightness, shortness of breath, inability to breathe deeply, or skin, fingers, and lips that are blue and purple. However, now people wear masks to go out. Not everyone can feel the subtle changes like chest tightness and difficulty breathing.

News (10)

Most people will not notice their lungs have inflammation

Zhou Baiqian, director of the Department of Thoracic Medicine, Peking Medical University, said, "In the initial stage of immune cytokine storm, the cause should be chest pain, chest tightness, and difficulty breathing. However, people will try to take deep breaths or breathing faster to compensate, so most people will not notice that the lungs have already Inflammation.”

In the early stage of covi infection, lung ventilation may not be significantly insufficient, so there is no obvious discomfort. However, at this time, the alveolar capillaries may have been insufficiently perfused and may be on the verge of hypoxia. How to prevent this, there is a way in an international medicine test.

The 6-minutes walk test helps

The American Thoracic Medical Association has a 6-minutes walk test, which is to walk for 6 minutes in accordance with the usual walking style (speed). If your face turns blue or if you are breathing heavily, you must seek medical attention immediately.

Average person's breathing 20 times per minute

Another method is that in the absence of exercise, the average person's breathing (per minute) is 12 to 20 times, but if it is found that the breathing (per minute) exceeds 25 times, even up to 30 breaths are abnormal.

Tired, patient could not breathe while sleeping

Many patients with the virus suffered from lethargy and physical fatigue the day before. Many people feel that it is okay to sleep. For example, the 56-year-old senior director of Xin Media, Lin Fangyi, cannot breathe while sleeping, and is not in the ambulance when she is sent to the doctor. She was deprived of oxygen, passed away, and the whole process takes less than 24 hours. Some wrong methods may delay medical treatment.

Best test is detecting blood oxygen concentration

Zhou Baiqian, Director of the Department of Thoracic Medicine, Peking Medical University: "Look at how long it takes for the nails to turn from white to red when they are pressed down. This part may not be so accurate. The nails of people with anemia are also slow to return to red. The best test is to detect the blood oxygen concentration." After being infected with the disease, happy hypoxia, mastering the correct and predictable symptoms, will not delay the critical life-saving period.

National Taiwan University professor: Sudden cardiac death is a hidden worry for infected people

There have been many confirmed deaths in recent days. It took only one or two days, or even less than 24 hours, from onset to death. It is reminiscent of 2020 when the epidemic situation in mainland China was the worst. There were many videos. The person in the film was walking on the road and suddenly fell down and died before being sent to the hospital. Xu Shiming, deputy dean of the front desk hospital and professor of immunology and pathology, reminded that many studies have found that SARS-CoV-2 (covi) affects many organs of the body and easily leads to cardiovascular dysfunction. Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is already a hidden worry in covi infection.

News (16)

The sudden death of an infected person may have 4 factors

Xu Shiming said that the acute sudden death of patients diagnosed with covid may have four factors. 

1. Invisible hypoxia ("happy hypoxia"/"silent hypoxia"), may be acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), the lungs infiltrate the whole piece of albinism, the cause is unknown, but it is predicted that it may be related to immune cytokin storm. 

2. Immune storm of cytokine overreaction, causing the patient's body to produce excessive and inappropriate antibodies to attack their own cells. 

3. Heart injury may be caused by viral infection or immune response to myocarditis. 

4. Blood tubules react with vascular diseases and viral receptors to cause subsequent immune responses. It is recommended that patients do Cardiac troponin T (Cardiac troponin T) test.

News (17)

The latest study found that the virus directly enters the heart cells and causes damage

The study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology pointed out that according to autopsy pathology, they found that covi directly enters the heart cells and replicates inside, causing the heart cells to be destroyed. Interference with myocardial contraction and myocarditis, covid leads to serious complications, leading to acute heart failure.

News (18)

The COVID-19 virus affects the heart in many ways

Hong Huifeng, Director of the Department of Cardiology at Shin Kong Hospital, said that this theory believes that the COVID-19 virus affects the heart in many ways. 

1. Covi directly "affects" the heart, perhaps affecting heart rate and causing arrhythmia. 

2 The virus causes myocarditis and affects contraction. 

3. Because blood oxygen is reduced, the lack of oxygen in the myocardium causes arrhythmia or decreased function.

4. Because the lungs are in poor condition, myocarditis leads to right heart failure.

5. The virus may cause multiple thrombosis and cause cardiovascular obstruction. 

6. Due to insufficient blood oxygen or even lower blood pressure, it causes type II myocardial infarction.

Hong Huifeng said that all patients in the hospital will be tested for troponin T, and they will also pay attention to giving thrombosis prevention drugs, but people who are in quarantine or waiting to be diagnosed may be difficult to prevent.

4 signs to watch out for during early detection of myocarditis (心肌炎)

Hong Huifeng reminded that once myocarditis occurs, it is difficult for people to save themselves but there are several problems that can be detected early if they pay attention to control.

 1. Pay attention to blood oxygen: Insufficient blood oxygen may cause arrhythmia, you can buy a blood oxygen machine, or use a watch to monitor blood oxygen.

2. Avoid electrolyte imbalance: Emotions, unbalanced diet, lack of sleep, etc. will affect electrolyte changes. Pay attention to regular life.

3. Sufficient water: Dehydration itself may cause cardiac dysfunction, so it is necessary to add enough water.

4. The heartbeat should be regular: the heartbeat is normal from 60 to 100 beats per minute, and the focus should be "regular". Press the pulse with your hand at any time to feel whether the heart beats regularly. If the rate is fast, slow or pause, it is a warning sign of myocarditis.

News (20)

Pay more attention to breathing and heartbeat at home

Hong Huifeng reminded that once the myocardium induces a malignant arrhythmia, even if he is already in the hospital, he may not be saved, so he must take precautions. Although many conditions are difficult for people to control, the breathing and heart rate that people can pay attention to, regardless of whether the patient is diagnosed or not, should be self-monitored. If the heart rate is abnormal, it is better to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

Stuffed nose, sore body... What kind of hypoxia are you? 5 kinds of hypoxia diseases. The best way to improve the body aerobic to prevent all diseases

Research : Guo Gengru / https://health.tvbs.com.tw/regimen/322639 / Direct translation

 

The primary cause of hypoxia is the obstruction of oxygen supply. The purpose of "oxygen therapy" is to improve oxygen supply, that is, "improve your oxygen supply capacity." By improving the lifestyle, the problem of supply hypoxia can be improved.

 

❶Environmental hypoxia

Such as confined spaces, crowded, high-altitude areas, environmental hypoxia caused by insufficient oxygen in the ambient air.

●Improve ventilation and remove fine dust in the air.

●Open windows or use exhaust fans, electric fans, etc. to enhance ventilation.

●Place indoor potted plants (2 pots per person, more than 30 cm), and take deep breaths every hour at a place with high oxygen content.

 

❷Respiratory hypoxia

Patients with nasal congestion, nasal allergies, bronchitis, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and other respiratory diseases should actively cooperate with doctors for treatment.

●Strengthen cardiopulmonary function, maintain deep breathing, and regulate emotions to avoid involuntary holding of breath or hyperventilation.

●Avoid allergens and reduce the chance of nasal congestion.

●Practice the deep breathing exercise of "inhale through your mouth and exhale forcefully through your nose".

●Replace pillows that can strengthen the neck support to keep the airway open.

●Pay attention to the ventilation of the bedroom before going to bed.

Extended reading: nasal congestion can not sleep well, do this as soon as possible to alleviate, often unilateral nasal congestion should be alert

 

❸ Blood hypoxia

Such as smoking, using gas stoves, water heaters, coal burning, and barbecues in poorly ventilated spaces.

●Supplement blood matrix iron, such as pig liver and blood, twice a week.

●Keep away from places prone to carbon monoxide poisoning, quit smoking, and improve ventilation.

❹Cyclic hypoxia

Muscle stiffness is an important cause of poor circulation. Avoid prolonged sitting and insufficient stretching, and strengthen the lower body muscles, especially the calves and buttocks.

●Avoid standing for a long time, lifting your feet before going to bed, and wearing elastic medical stockings.

●Get up and do stretching exercises regularly.

 

❺Regulatory hypoxia

It is common in emotional tension and anxiety, hypersympathetic nerves, or nerve conduction disorders, leading to regulatory hypoxia caused by the brain's blood regulatory center not being able to respond correctly.

●Heart rhythm breathing method, first hold the pulse, take a deep breath in accordance with the heartbeat, and gradually extend the number of times.

●Keep a good attitude, supplement a lot of vitamin B complex, cooperate with acupuncture and hyperthermia to improve circulation.

Difficulty breathing in home isolation, blood oxygen below 94% "Doing this" can save lives! But 4 kinds of people can’t do it

Research : Zeng Jinyue / https://health.tvbs.com.tw/medical/328478 / Translation, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

If the diagnosis is confirmed, what can be done during home quarantine? Chen Xinmei, a family physician, pointed out that many documents found that "prone position" can help acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and even reduce mortality. India has listed the prone as a home guide for those diagnosed, but four types of people, including pregnant women and deep vein thrombosis, cannot do it.

News (23)

Prone posture is helpful for respiratory distress

Chen Xinmei said that many studies have found that "Prone position" is helpful for acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). In some literature discussions, it has also been seen that in the hospital with a respirator + early use of the prone position can improve the oxygenation status of patients with respiratory failure and even reduce the mortality rate.

Chen Xinmei said that when the COVID-19 outbreak broke out, because it would also cause acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), so when treating covid in foreign hospitals, doctors shared this.

News (24)

Medical capacity is limited, India recommends that people do it themselves

Since the epidemic consumes a lot of medical capacity, people with mild illness may not be able to live in the hospital for observation and treatment smoothly, and most people will even be required to go home, isolate and observe themselves. Therefore, the Indian Ministry of Health and Family Welfare (similar to Taiwan's Ministry of Health and Welfare, Singapore's Ministry of Health) has published a "Guide to Prone Posture at Home", teaching people that they can do prone posture at home.

News (25)

Do Prone position only if there are symptoms. Monitor blood oxygen if asymptomatic

Chen Xinmei said that according to the recommendations in the guide, the prone position is only suitable for patients who find it difficult to breathe, or if the blood oxygen concentration is less than 94%, before starting to use it. If you do not need to do it if you have no symptoms, you still need to pay attention to the risk of "happy hypoxia." If you have no symptoms, it is recommended to take regular blood oxygen measurements.

News (26)

When is it not recommended?

However, it is not recommended for pregnant women, people who have experienced deep vein thrombosis, severe heart problems, spine or pelvic fractures.

News (27)

Not the same posture to the end

Chen Xinmei specially reminded that lying prone is not always lying down. Remember to change every posture after half an hour.

Chen Xinmei said sharing the above knowledge is for everyone's benefit. If the diagnosis is unfortunate one day, at least there is some way to deal with it by oneself. If the symptoms worsen, go to the hospital for treatment immediately. Do not delay!

Young men receive second dose of mRNA vaccine and avoid strenuous exercise within a week

Singapore's Coronavirus (Covi) Vaccine Expert Group recommends that the public should avoid strenuous physical activities within one week of receiving the second dose of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) covi vaccine, especially for teenagers and young men.

The Covi Vaccine Expert Group issued a statement at night of 11 June 2021 stating that the expert group has been paying close attention to reports related to the internationally relevant second dose of mRNA Coronavirus vaccine that may be associated with a small chance of developing myocarditis and pericarditis in young men. After evaluation, the panel of experts believes that the benefits of vaccination against COVID-19 still outweigh the risks of vaccination. The benefits include a reduction in the chance of infection with COVID-19 and no serious complications after infection.

Although the team of experts is conducting further research and investigation, the current data show that the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis (心包炎) in the second dose of mRNA vaccine is very small, especially for young men.

News (29)

Four cases of myocarditis and pericarditis reported in Singapore

There are currently four reported cases of myocarditis and pericarditis in young men aged between 18 and 30 after vaccination. This is the upper limit of the expected incidence of this age group. Most of the cases occurred within a few days after receiving the second dose of the vaccine, and they all recovered and were discharged from the hospital.

As a precautionary measure, the panel of experts recommends that vaccinated persons, especially teenagers and young men, should avoid strenuous physical activities within one week after the second dose. During this period, if anyone experiences chest pain, shortness of breath, or abnormal heartbeat, seek medical attention immediately.

CDC to hold emergency meeting over rare post-vaccination heart inflammation

Reporters : Katabella Roberts and Zachary Stieber / Publisher : The Epoch Times PREMIUM

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisory committee plans to hold an emergency meeting this month to discuss the higher than expected reports of heart inflammation in young males following a second dose of the Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines.

The June 18 meeting will address the conditions that are very infrequent and have not been directly linked to the vaccines, the agency announced on June 10.

The first portion of the meeting will feature an update on COVID-19 vaccine safety, including myocarditis cases seen after the administration of vaccines built on messenger RNA technology, according to the meeting agenda.

Myocarditis is a rare disorder that leads to heart inflammation. Causes include the flu and COVID-19.

Rates of myocarditis and a similar condition, pericarditis, for those between the ages of 16 and 24 after vaccination with two of the three COVID-19 vaccines authorized in the United States are higher than the expected rate, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disclosed in a meeting earlier Thursday.

The CDC has so far identified 226 reports in people ages 30 and younger that might meet the agency’s “working case definition” of heart inflammation following the shots, Dr. Tom Shimabukuro, a deputy director at the agency, told the Food and Drug Administration’s vaccine advisory group during a virtual meeting. That was out of about 12.2 million who had received a vaccine as of May 31.

While the vast majority of the patients have recovered, 41 had ongoing symptoms, 15 are still hospitalized, and three are in intensive care units.

Shimabukuro told members that the CDC will continue to evaluate myocarditis following vaccination and assess the benefits and risks of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, which both use mRNA technology, ahead of the emergency meeting next week.

A CDC spokesperson told The Epoch Times via email that there will be more discussion about post-vaccination myocarditis at the meeting, the spokesperson added.

“Given the number of COVID-19 vaccine doses administered, these reports are rare. More than 18 million people between ages 12-24 have received at least one dose of COVID-19 vaccine in the United States. CDC continues to recommend COVID-19 vaccination for everyone 12 years and older,” the spokesperson said.

The agency has thus far declined to recommend a pause of vaccinating youth, despite advising such a pause after a smaller number of post-vaccination blood clotting cases appeared in April.

The CDC’s advisory group, formally known as the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices, or ACIP, makes recommendations to the agency regarding vaccines. The recommendations are nonbinding but the CDC often takes the recommended action.

After the group recommended lifting the pause of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine following the blood clots appearing in seven women after vaccination, the CDC lifted the pause.

Not all of the reports, which were submitted to the Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System, will turn out to be accurate, Shimabukuro told Thursday’s meeting. But he added that the higher-than-expected rate the statistics indicate are consistent with surveillance data from Israel and the Pentagon.

Gou Taiming buying BNT vaccine is not a dream! Chen Shizhong: The original factory shipment certificate 

Editor : Zhou Jiaru / Direct translation

A few days ago, Foxconn founder Guo Taiming called for a donation of 5 million doses of BNT vaccine and submitted the information to the Food and Drug Administration. However, due to the lack of an "original authorization letter", the commander Chen Shizhong said that regarding Guo Taiming’s application for the purchase of BNT vaccine through Taikang Biotech, he explains that the procurement of vaccines is actually very complicated. There has been a meeting before, and it was decided to agree to the "conditional" project of Taikang Biotech to import BNT vaccine, and it is sufficient to use the "Original Shipment Certificate".

Terry Gou recently subscribed to the government for 5 million doses of BNT vaccine, but due to the lack of the original authorization letter, his wife Zeng Xinying issued an article today (12 Jube) and lamented, "Every day is delayed, dozens of lives are lost, which also means how many lives are lost every day. Ten families are broken," reveals that Guo Taiming is personally involved in all vaccine details, and even his dream talk is about purchasing vaccines. Everything is only hope to save the whole Taiwan, so that the domestic vaccine can be used as soon as possible to avoid the continuous expansion of the epidemic.

In this regard, Chen Shizhong said that the outside world is very concerned about Guo Taiming's purchase of vaccines. During this period, he has been in contact with major pharmaceutical companies. In fact, the procurement of vaccines is a complicated case, but in order to keep things simple, an expert meeting was held. It first agreed to continue to send basic information of the Johnson Vaccine EUA, and the BNT case commissioned by Taikang agreed to "conditional consent to import the project." The condition means that the central government still needs to have the manufacturer, technical information and for the possibility of supply, the "Original Authorization Letter" is relaxed and the "Original Shipment Certificate" can be attached. As long as the information is available, it will be accurate. However, due to the difficulty of the process, we will continue to work in multiple channels. If there is a possibility for the private sector, the Central Committee will try to help.

1.24 million doses of vaccine now to be dispensed in advance ``"Target to be administrated, method of vaccination" 

Editor : Zhou Jiaru / Direct translation

Japan is giving away 1.24 million doses of AZ vaccine from Taiwan. It was originally scheduled to be administered to people in the first to third categories on June 15. However, because the vaccine passed the test and sealed in advance, the central government decided to distribute more than 500,000 doses to counties and cities since last night. The county and city governments can start to administer the vaccine as soon as they receive it today (12). In this regard, Commander Chen Shizhong explained the latest vaccine administration measures at the epidemic press conference.

Chen Shizhong explained that the 1.24 million doses of AZ vaccine were administered to the subjects, and at the same time, the following ethnic groups were vaccinated: 1. Those who have not received the first dose of vaccine from the first to third groups. 2. Staff and residents of residential long-term care institutions. 3. Patients with dialysis. 4. Elderly persons over 75 years old. 5. Those who have received the first dose of vaccine at public expense and need to receive the second dose after an interval of 10 to 12 weeks. And how to vaccinate? Chen Shizhong said that the local government is requested to implement the attack according to the target ethnic group and formulate a "vaccination diversion plan." In addition, the local government is requested to publish the vaccination plan on the website and provide a public consultation line.

In addition, for the first batch of Moderna vaccines that have been opened for administration, Chen Shizhong updated the first type of maintenance medical capacity personnel to adjust the start date of vaccination comparison table: set up special wards or negative pressure isolation wards and medical institutions for testing, and have not received them. For "non-first-line (including medical/non-medical) staff" of confirmed/suspected patients, the starting date of vaccination was changed to 12 June; in addition, "medical staff in other hospitals, etc.", "medical staff in other clinics, etc." Relevant staff", "registered medical personnel of other medical institutions, non-medical personnel of centralized quarantine centers", the start date of vaccination has also been changed to 12 June.

Changi Airport rolls out non-Invasive Breathalyser testing progressively

Since 23 May 2021, Changi Airport workers in higher risk roles have taken additional Antigen Rapid Tests (ART) between their daily Polymerase Chain Reaction-based Rostered Routine Tests. Since 3 June 2021, Changi Airport has begun a small-scale pilot with the use of the TracieX breathalyser. 

Instead of undergoing an ART, workers in the pilot project blow into a disposable breathalyser fitted with a proprietary sensor chip. The breathalyser is then inserted into a portable reading device for vibrational spectroscopy analysis, which will be able to tell if a person is infected with COVID-19 within two minutes.

With the TracieX breathalyser, workers will be able to receive their results faster than with the current ART. They will also experience less discomfort as the test is non-invasive. 

Changi Airport aims to progressively replace the ART for more airport workers with the TracieX breathalyser in the coming months. This will also allow the airport community to step up the frequency of testing so that we can more cases can be quickly detected, isolated and treated in the airport community.

Foreign companies must act at Beijing's behest under new CCP law

Reporter : Nicole Hao / Publisher : The Epoch Times PREMIUM / Editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA

CCP China passed a new law that orders all individuals and businesses in China to apply sanctions the regime launched against foreign counterparts, but they do not need to honour foreign restrictions.

Moreover, the law came into effect on 10 June, when the regime’s rubber-stamp legislature approved it without a third reading, which is a prerequisite under CCP China’s Legislative Law.

“It orders foreign citizens to act against their own homelands, and be loyal to the Chinese Communist Party [CCP],” said Tang Jingyuan, a U.S.-based China affairs commentator, in a phone interview with The Epoch Times on Thursday.

“The timing is key. The CCP passed the law right after President Joe Biden started his Europe trip. Biden will talk with European leaders about the investigation into the origin of the CCP virus, which likely leaked from the Wuhan lab,” Li Hengqing, a scholar at the Washington Institute for Information and Strategy, told The Epoch Times on June 10.

Li believes that the CCP virus, commonly known as novel coronavirus, leaked from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Once this fact is verified by the world, other countries will hold the CCP regime accountable, Li said.

The Chinese rubber-stamp legislature passed and released the “Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law” on 10 June.

The law requires that all individuals and organizations in China, no matter their citizenship or registered status, must execute the sanctions that the Beijing regime launched.

Furthermore, clause 12 of the law states: “No organization or individual can enforce or help to enforce the discriminatory restrictive measures that foreign countries use against Chinese citizens and organizations … Chinese citizens or organizations can file a lawsuit against foreign entities [who are complying with foreign-imposed sanctions], and ask them to stop the infringement and pay compensation for [Chinese] losses.”

Retaliation

In retaliation against foreign-imposed sanctions, the law targets foreign violators and their direct relatives, company managers and directors, as well as other related individuals and organizations.

Punishment methods for violations under the new law include refusing or revoking visas, seizing property and assets, and banning trade activity.

Wang Wenbin, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Affairs Ministry, said in a news brief on 10 June that the law is a legal tool to retaliate against foreign sanctions.

When asked whether the law would impact diplomatic relations with other countries, Wang said “the concern … is completely unnecessary.”

In the past months, the United States, European Union, Canada, and the UK have imposed sanctions on Chinese officials, accusing them of serious human rights abuses against Uyghurs in Xinjiang, and destroying autonomy in Hong Kong.

On 12 May, the U.S. government announced sanctions against a CCP official for persecuting Falun Gong, as the Beijing regime’s brutal suppression of the spiritual practice approaches its 22nd anniversary.

So far, the U.S. government has imposed sanctions on about 45 Chinese officials, including all 14 vice-chairs of the rubber-stamp legislature’s standing committee. Meanwhile, Washington also blacklisted Chinese companies from buying American technology, such as China’s largest telecommunications manufacturer Huawei, which violated U.S. sanctions against Iran.

The Chinese regime started its retaliation earlier this year. On 21 January, the regime banned 28 Americans and their direct relatives from visiting mainland China and Hong Kong.

Consequences

“The newly launched Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law is a comprehensive retaliation against the United States and other developed countries. It covers all individuals and organizations and threatens to grab their property if they don’t listen to the Beijing regime,” Tang told The Epoch Times.

Tang worries that the CCP will require that foreign companies buy forced-labor products, such as purchasing cotton from Xinjiang; and sell American technology to Chinese enterprises, such as selling semiconductor chips to Huawei.

“I see risks that this law brings to the society. I can imagine that foreign companies will have to leave the China market before the CCP forces them to do things [against U.S. sanctions], and Chinese enterprises are forced to stop purchasing imported technology,” Tang said.

Tang used China’s most advanced, largest, and state-owned chip manufacturer Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (SMIC) as an example.

On 15 September 2020, SMIC told the Chinese state-run Securities Times that it stopped supplying chips to Huawei because SMIC used American technology to make its chips and Huawei was blacklisted from purchasing any American technology.

“Under China’s Anti-Foreign Sanctions Law, SMIC has no other choice but to supply chips to Huawei. Once SMIC sells chips to Huawei, it violates the American law, and loses its right to use American technology as well as its global market,” Tang said.

For foreign companies, their situations are worse than SMIC. “They will lose all their assets and other property in China if they don’t follow the Beijing regime’s law,” Tang added.

US and British Heads of State: Support a thorough investigation of the origin of the virus

US President Biden held bilateral talks with British Prime Minister Johnson on Thursday. After the meeting, the two issued a joint statement expressing their support for the World Health Organization (WHO) to launch the next phase of investigation into the origin of the epidemic, including China.

The Central News Agency reported that Joe Biden is currently embarking on his first overseas visit after taking office. The first stop was the far-reaching UK. On the eve of the G7 summit, Biden and Boris Johnson yesterday issued a joint statement after the meeting.

The statement includes democracy, human rights and multilateralism; national defense and security; science and technology; trade and prosperity; climate and nature; health; and seven major commitments to Northern Ireland.

When talking about health, the two sides expressed their determination to work together to overcome the pandemic and take precautions. The Health Security Agency of the United Kingdom will cooperate with the newly established National Epidemiological Prediction and Outbreak Analysis Center in the United States to expand surveillance and genome sequencing and mutation assessment capabilities, and consider animal health and zoonotic diseases and environmental risks.

The United States and the United Kingdom will support immediate, transparent, evidence-based independent investigations and assist the WHO in the next stage of investigation of the origin of the COVID-19 epidemic, including China.

Both parties support the establishment of a "Global Pandemic Radar" monitoring system with WHO and G7 members. Strengthening the global surveillance program is essential for providing safe, effective and affordable vaccines, treatments and diagnostics within 100 days of the outbreak of a pandemic in the future.

The two parties also pledged to work together to help increase the global vaccine supply by investing in the production of safe and effective vaccines and materials needed for the production of vaccines; by encouraging bilateral trade and investment, avoiding export restrictions or other supply chain disruptions, and promoting vaccines and critical zero timely supply of components and equipment.

Blinken talked to Yang Jiechi on the second phase of the investigation of the origin of the virus

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken had a telephone conversation with Yang Jiechi, the top diplomat of the Chinese Communist Party, on Friday (11 June). According to the statement issued by both parties, Blinken pressured China to allow a team of WHO experts to go to China to conduct a second phase investigation of the origin of the virus. Yang Jiechi resisted the claim that the virus came from the Wuhan laboratory.

After the US-China phone call, the US State Department issued a statement stating that when discussing the COVID-19 pandemic with Yang Jiechi, Secretary of State Blinken emphasized the importance of cooperation and transparency in virus traceability, including the need to conduct “WHO” virus expert-led research investigation in China in the second stage".

Blinken’s call came on the occasion of US President Biden’s participation in the Group of Seven (G7) summit in the UK. It is expected that a key issue of the summit will be to counter the growing influence of the CCP.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Communist Party of China said in a statement that Yang Jiechi said on the phone that some people in the United States fabricated and spread the absurd story of "the Wuhan laboratory leaking the novel coronavirus," and China expressed serious concern about this.

The Wall Street Journal recently reported that a report on the origin of COVID-19 from a US government national laboratory concluded that the hypothesis that the virus leaked from a laboratory in Wuhan is reasonable and warrants further investigation.

EU lists another rare blood disease as a side effect of AstraZeneca vaccine

Reuters reported that the European drug regulatory agency on Friday (11 June) identified another very rare blood disease as a potential side effect of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and said it was investigate cases of heart inflammation after full covi vaccination.

The European Medicines Agency (EMA) Safety Committee stated that capillary leak syndrome (CLS) must be added as a new side effect on the label of the AstraZeneca vaccine (Vaxzevria).

EMA added that people who have had the disease before should not get the vaccine. This disease refers to fluid leaking from the smallest blood vessels causing swelling and a drop in blood pressure.

Regulators first began investigating these cases in April. This proposal will make AstraZeneca's situation more difficult. Previously, the AstraZeneca vaccine was alleged to be related to a very rare and potentially fatal case of low platelet count thrombosis (TTS).

Last month, the EMA advised against giving a second dose of AstraZeneca vaccine to people with symptoms of this kind of thrombosis.

The committee reviewed 6 valid CLS cases. Most of these people were women who were vaccinated with Vaxzevria. One of them died; three had a history of the disease.

AstraZeneca pointed out in a statement that CLS cases are extremely rare, less than 1 in 10 million recipients.

The European Union, Liechtenstein, Iceland, Norway and the United Kingdom have received more than 78 million doses of Vaxzevria.

The company said: "We are working with regulatory agencies to actively take risk minimization measures... This includes providing information to those who are vaccinated... to promote early diagnosis and intervention and appropriate treatment information."

The British regulatory agency MHRA said it is considering providing preventive advice to people with a history of CLS, but does not believe this is causally related to the vaccine.

It said that of the eight related reports received after the AstraZeneca vaccine in the United Kingdom, two of them were people with a history of the disease, and that 40 million doses of the vaccine had been vaccinated.

The national epidemic alert in Taiwan has been upgraded to Level 3 for almost one month. In order to reduce the number of trips, most people choose to use the delivery platform. Although it is much more convenient for the public, it also increases the risk of infection for delivery personnel. In this regard, the Ministry of Transportation stated that it is currently under discussion on whether to include evacuation personnel in the seventh category list of vaccination targets, including foodpanda, Uber Eats, and so on.

The command center recently announced the latest publicly funded new vaccination targets. Among the targets for the seventh category of "necessary staff in national key facilities", "transportation and storage industry", "high school faculty and school staff below vocational school" are added to the targets "Etc., 860,000 people are expected to benefit. In this regard, the Ministry of Communications stated that it is currently taking stock of the relevant list of strikes, and it is expected that the list of strikes will be sent to the command center as soon as this week and next week.

The Ministry of Transport stated that in the past, the Ministry of Transport has counted the public transportation, logistics, and automobile freight industries listed as publicly funded vaccines, including Taiwan Railways, high-speed railways, highway passenger transport, national highway passenger transport, urban passenger transport, MRT, and low temperature and normal temperature, etc. The logistics industry, trucking industry, Chunghwa Post and other front-line personnel who need to contact the people, as well as those who do not belong to the border but will contact the people such as shipping and aviation, but the command center recently announced that the seventh category of inoculation targets will increase the storage industry, so Will re-expand the inventory as soon as possible.

The Ministry of Communications pointed out that in this wave of re-evaluation of the list, it is hoped that the industry can be included in a wide range, and it is hoped that no industry will be missed, resulting in "orphans". However, some units, such as the urban bus, MRT, and taxi industries, as well as foodpanda, Uber Eats, etc., are actually not in the Ministry of Transport, so they will hold meetings to coordinate with local governments.

The Ministry of Communications explained that due to the wide variety of industries under its jurisdiction and the large number of employees, it involves the issue of how to distribute vaccines in the future command center. Basically, high-risk practitioners who have first-line contact with the people will be listed first, but eventually Which industries can be vaccinated first has yet to be approved by the command center.

As Trump banned China travel, Fauci funded Wuhan lab studies calling for "collaboration"

Research, editing : Gan Yung Chyan, KUCINTA SETIA / Source : The National Pulse

As Donald Trump banned China travel to the U.S., Dr. Anthony Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases was funding studies authored by Wuhan Institute of Virology researchers pushing for closer collaboration between the U.S. government and Chinese Communist Party.

The paper entitled Synergistic China–US Ecological Research is Essential for Global Emerging Infectious Disease Preparedness was authored by researchers from the notorious EcoHealth Alliance and several Chinese Communist Party-run scientific institutions, including the Wuhan lab. It is first published on 3 February 2020.

EcoHealth Alliance, run by self-declared “killer” virus creator Peter Daszak, and the Wuhan Institute of Viology (WIV) have both come under increased scrutiny for their potential role in the creation of SARS-CoV-2 as well as the cover-up of its true origins.

The 14-page paper is the culmination of two-year collaborative project between Chinese and U.S. researchers involving two workshops on “Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases” in Shenzhen, China and the University of California Berkeley in 2018.

"The workshop has two objectives,” a summary notes before explaining:

The first objective is to review recent progress in ecology and infectious disease research and identify key gaps in data, information, and knowledge. The second objective is to identify research priority areas and discuss possible mechanisms for joint, international cooperation on research and education activities in ecology and infectious disease research.  

The paper , which was published in EcoHealth Alliance’s official journal “EcoHealth” , asserts that collaboration between the U.S. and China is key to stopping future pandemics.

It posits, "International cooperation, particularly between China and the USA, is essential to fully engage the resources and scientific strengths necessary to add this ecological emphasis to the pandemic preparedness strategy.” 

“The global nature of emerging and re-emerging infectious disease threats indicates the critical role of international cooperation, particularly spearheaded by China and the USA, in emerging infectious disease (EID) preparedness,” the paper adds before calling for the two countries to form a “united front for research”:

“The world would be much better equipped for curbing the next pandemic, if China and the USA provided a united front for research and progress toward EID preparedness.”

The paper concludes that “China is the logical next step for the global health community’s major investment in disease ecology training, given its well-developed scientific infrastructure, current investments in basic science, virology, and biotechnology.”

In reality, many scientists have pointed to taxpayer-funded collaboration between EcoHealth Alliance and its Wuhan lab partner as potentially responsible for spawning COVID-19. Several authors of the paper were recipients of grants from National Institutes of Health (NIH), including one researcher form Dr. Fauci’s National Institute of Allergy of Infectious Diseases:

Heidi Brown was supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases of the National Institutes of Health under Award number K01AI101224;

Wayne M. Getz was additionally supported by NIH GM117617 and NSF EEID 1617982;

and Mike Boots was additionally supported by NIH/ GM122061 and BBSRC BB/L010879/1.

The NIAID-funded paper also includes a host of scientists from Chinese Communist Party-controlled institutions. Notably, Shi Zhengli – who has been dubbed “bat lady” for her work on SARS-like coronaviruses at the Wuhan Institute of Virology – was listed as co-author.

Fauci recently attempted to distance himself from having ever funded her experiments during a hearing with Senator Rand Paul. Researchers from the Chinese Communist Party-controlled Chinese Academy of Sciences, China CDC, Ministry of Education and five universities are also co-authors.
