The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) tried its best to "sweep" the origin of SARS-CoV-2 to the United States and its media has publicly denied the CCP's previous rumours. However, a CCP media report in 2019 did not mention the five athletes with "infectious disease" were of American nationality, and the report however mentions that two of them are of African nationality.
Above: On 16 March 2020, the CCP media People's Daily quoted Zhang Dingyu, the director of Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital, stating that the five foreign athletes admitted by the hospital at that time were all suffering from malaria, which "has nothing to do with the novel coronavirus (Wuhan virus, CCP virus, covi, SARS-CoV-2)." Jinyintan Hospital is a designated hospital in Wuhan for severely ill patients during the epidemic in 2020. It is also the hospital where five foreign athletes were admitted in October 2019.

The CCTV program of the Communist Party of China reported in August 2021 that during the Wuhan Military Games, "five U.S. military players had fever, cough, and diarrhea and other infectious disease symptoms" and were rushed to Jinyintan Hospital. The report also claimed without providing any evidence that the U.S. military "rushed to send a military plane to take five people back to the country" two days before other U.S. military players returned to the United States.
The report also stated that although the five athletes "the initial diagnosis at the time was malaria", "malaria infection is only found in places with extremely poor sanitary conditions such as Africa." Malaria has "basically disappeared" in China. The report therefore questioned "how American soldiers contracted malaria."

People's Daily reports one of the five ill military athletes is from Nigeria
However, the People's Daily report in 2019 seems to provide a reasonable explanation for the questions raised by CCTV.
The official website of Jinyintan Hospital reported on 4 November 2019 that in the afternoon of 27 October 2019, the day when the Wuhan Military Games was closed, Zhang Hongxing, then director of the Wuhan Municipal Health Commission, went to the hospital to "visit and sympathize with two African athletes and work in the clinical frontline." "Medical staff" shook hands with "two infectious disease patients suffering from malaria." A picture of the report showed that the foreign athlete shaking hands with Zhang Hongxing was wearing a black and red jacket with the words "Nigeria Army" printed on it.
Although malaria is almost extinct in Europe, America and China, it has been raging in Africa where medical conditions are poor.
In addition, a report from Wuhan local party media on 7 November 2019 stated, “During the Military Games, five foreign athletes were sent to Wuhan Jinyintan Hospital due to imported infectious diseases before and after the competition.” . However, the report did not mention the nationalities of the five athletes.

The two athletes from Africa were discharged, five athletes returned to the U.S. do not match
The above two mainland media reports also showed that at least two of the five foreign athletes infected with malaria were discharged from the hospital after the military games ended. This is in contrast to CCTV’s claim that the U.S. military "rushed to send military aircraft two days before the athletes returned to the United States." "The five people returned to the country" obviously do not match.
Public information shows that the seventh World Military Games held in Wuhan opens on 18 October 2019 and closed on 27 October 2019.

Suspicions over athletes infected with covid during the Wuhan Military Games
Although the party media’s hype about "five American athletes spreading the virus during the Military Games" is full of loopholes, previous foreign media reports have shown that many European and Canadian athletes have been suspected of being infected with covid during the Military Games or developing symptoms of covid after returning to their countries because there are also some doubts whether military athletes from the Wuhan Military Games will bring the virus back to their countries.

Two Republicans have enquired whether any U.S. military athlete contracted covid in October 2019
According to the "Washington Post" report, two Republican members of the U.S. Congress have contacted the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U.S. Department of Defense respectively to ask whether any U.S. military athletes had contracted the disease in Wuhan before returning to the United States.
As public opinion focused on whether SARS-CoV-2 came from the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), an official U.S. report pointed out that as early as the fall of 2019, many employees of the WIV had symptoms of suspected novel coronavirus infection and were hospitalized, and their family members died.
The new version of the virus traceability report of the Republican Party of the US Congress stated that late at night on 12 September 2019, the WIV took its virus gene database offline on the grounds of a "hacker attack" and never restored it.
Besides, in September 2019, the Chinese Communist Party officially exercised "the whole process of emergency response to a novel coronavirus infection found" at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport.

CCP media’s rumors were exposed by their own media
The high-profile "rumor refuting" of the party media in 2019 does not affect its current "spreading rumors" again this year, and even publicly denying the "rumor refuting" of 2019.
The White House in the United States ordered an investigation into the origin of SARS-CoV-2 (virus) / COVID-19 (disease) in May 2021, and public opinion in the international community has also begun to turn. More and more people believe that the virus originated from the Wuhan Institute of Viology (WIV). In order to cope with the predicament, the CCP’s propaganda system has been vigorously hyping "the virus came from the United States" in recent months, and even the central-level party media have begun special discussions on "five American athletes infected with the epidemic" in the 2019 Wuhan Military Games.
As early as 12 March 2021, the spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Zhao Lijian, tweeted that “it may be the US military that brought the epidemic to Wuhan”. At that time, some people also found out earlier reports from the mainland media that "five American athletes" who were hospitalized with infectious diseases during the military games were hyped and said that their symptoms were "suspected of being infected with SARS-CoV-2."

SARS-CoV-2 traceability period expires in 90 days, report completed on schedule
Joe Biden ordered the intelligence agency to investigate the source of SARS-CoV-2. The 90-day period expires on 24 August 2021. White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said that the investigation report was completed as scheduled but it will take time to publish a non-confidential version to the public.
However, the CCP cannot wait to attack this report, which has not yet been published.
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin criticized that the US traceability report was only a "reliable report with a conclusion first and then pieced together evidence."
However, there are comments on the Internet that Wang Wenbin's remarks are tantamount to admitting that the US intelligence agencies have obtained evidence in disguise.

The White House announced on 23 August 2021 that the COVID-19 traceability report was completed as scheduled but it will take some time for the official announcement to be made. Before seeing the report, the Chinese Communist Party official and party media declared it to be a "falsified report" and "uncredible."
On 23 August, White House spokesperson Jen Psaki said that the US intelligence agency’s virus traceability investigation report is expected to be completed before the 90-day deadline, but it will still take "several days" to complete the non-confidential version released to the public.
Biden ordered the US intelligence agency to produce a credible research report within 90 days in May to confirm whether the pandemic, which is damaging the world, came from the Wuhan Institute of Viology.
The CCP approved the report before seeing it
On the day the White House announced that the virus traceability report was completed as scheduled, the CCP launched a public opinion counterattack.
On 23 August, the Chinese Communist Party’s CCTV News accused the United States of “ineffective fight against the epidemic” and declared that the United States was trying to “sweep the pot” to China. People's Daily said that the traceability of the virus led by the US intelligence agency "has nothing to do with science."
On the same day, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said at a regular press conference, “The US has repeatedly claimed that the novel coronavirus leaked from the laboratory, but in fact, it is the US itself that should be investigated most.”
Wang Wenbin also claimed that the traceability report of the U.S. intelligence agency was "a report made with a conclusion and a piece of evidence later" and was "not credible at all."
However, the US intelligence agency has not yet released the virus traceability report, nor has it announced that the virus originated from the Wuhan laboratory. It is unknown how China learned in advance that the U.S. report would "paste the evidence and plant it."
In fact, since the beginning of the virus traceability investigation, the response of the US intelligence agencies to the media has been that there has not been enough evidence to confirm which of the "natural origin theory" of the virus or the "laboratory leak theory" is more credible.
However, public opinion in the United States has turned overall, and more and more people believe that the virus comes from a Chinese laboratory. A few days ago, Republicans in the US House of Representatives updated their virus traceability report, disclosing that the WIV had offline the virus database late in September 2019, and bluntly stated that there was a large amount of evidence directly pointing to the WIV.
The US media disclosed that US intelligence agencies have obtained the virus gene database of the WIV. Public opinion pointed out that the database may provide key evidence for virus traceability.
The CCP's dumping on the U.S. has been repeatedly slapped in the face
In response to the US virus traceability investigation, the CCP has recently launched a global public opinion propaganda, trying to throw the origin of the virus to the US in advance.
The British BBC Chinese website reported on 24 August that the CCP used a variety of propaganda channels and methods, including speeches from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, network co-signatures, party media uproars, and fake accounts or even fake identities on social media to shape American Germany. Unfounded stories such as the “leaking virus” of Fort Detrick's biological laboratory.
The report mentioned that another public opinion offensive launched by the CCP was the "Global Times" hype by the foreign state media, "the US made the virus," claiming that the coronavirus expert Ralph Baric had "created a novel coronavirus infection that can infect humans." The official media also cited a paper in Nature Medicine as evidence.
However, the journal "Nature Medicine" subsequently issued a statement stating that it had noticed that this paper was used to "spread false theories." However, the "Global Times" turned a blind eye to this statement and continued its public opinion hype.
The report pointed out that in addition to internal propaganda, the CCP also tried to involve non-Chinese readers, including the "Swiss biologist Wilson Edwards" who was publicly slapped in the face by the Swiss Embassy in China. A fake Facebook account named "Wilson Edwards" published false news that the United States was putting pressure on the World Health Organization (WHO), which was then published by the Chinese information platform "South Pacific Voice", a Chinese information platform established in Fiji. After that, it became a "foreign media" report that was reprinted by the Chinese Communist Party media, and some social media accounts were immediately distributed to the outside world.
The report quoted expert analysis as saying that the CCP’s propaganda work may deceive Chinese on the mainland but it does nothing to help the authorities construct “self-rationalized” propaganda to the outside world. The CCP’s biggest concern is its "domestic legitimacy" but in recent years it has begun to blur the boundaries between internal and external propaganda, and its external propaganda has little effect. It only brings the risk of worsening diplomatic relations.

Psaki: The virus source report may be decrypted
24 August 2021 is the 90-day deadline for tracing the source of SARS-CoV-2 (virus) / COVID-19 (disease), and the US intelligence agency submitted a credible research report to Biden. However, this report was not released to the public in time. Instead, it will take a few days before people can see the "non-confidential version."
White House spokesperson Psaki responded to reporters’ inquiries yesterday (23rd) and said that Biden would first listen to a briefing on the findings of the investigation, and then sort out a non-confidential version for the public.
A reporter asked whether it will be announced in full, or there may be deletions in the process. Psaki said, "This is a good question", "Of course we will let you all know what the result is. I don't know what form to take at this point in time", "Sometimes it means decryption."
Judging from Psaki's statement, the White House may sort out the virus traceability report of the intelligence department, and then present a public version of the outline. In other words, the main investigation conclusions will be revealed, so Psaki said this intriguing sentence, "Sometimes it means deciphering."
However, three U.S. government officials and a person familiar with the investigation report told Reuters that “do not expect the report to reach a certain conclusion”, which may be disappointing.
Judging from the current tensions between the United States and China, the White House is unlikely to collude with Beijing, and hundreds of members of both Democrat and Republican Parties and Houses of Congress are also watching. However, the White House does have the possibility of hiding key information in the public version, which is why the outside world hopes to see "authentic" findings.
Whether the White House will decrypt the virus traceability report or hide some key information, we will wait patiently for a few more days but only Psaki's statement has made the CCP feel like sitting on a needle carpet.

Beijing jumps back, claims the report was "planted"
The spokesperson of the Chinese Communist Party’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wang Wenbin (above), claimed on 24 August that the U.S. traceability report was "a report made with a conclusion and a piece of evidence later." Traceability "needs science, not intelligence," and should be "based on facts."
CCP have not seen the investigation report of the US intelligence agency, and claimed it was a "planted report." Who is the first to make a conclusion? As for Wang Wenbin's claim that the traceability should be based on the facts, the problem is that the CCP does not allow international scientists to conduct independent investigations.
The World Health Organization stated on 13 August 2021 that they are setting up a new team to track the origin of the new coronavirus. Urge all countries, including China, to provide case information and raw data at the beginning of the pandemic.
However, the CCP claimed that it "will not accept" the next stage of WHO's virus traceability investigation. The CCP also accused the United States of exerting pressure on WHO scientists but was hit back by the WHO. The WHO stated in a statement that it refused to accept accusations that "the traceability investigation was politicized" or that "WHO succumbed to political pressure."
After the outbreak in Wuhan, the WHO gave people a bad impression. In particular, Director General Tedros has been on the platform for the CCP several times but recently the WHO has repeatedly made different accents from the CCP. It seems that the WHO does not believe in the CCP anymore.
The CCP’s self-contradictory and face-slapped situations have been quite frequent in the most recent stage, and the problem reflected is that hooligans are afraid of shortcomings. Apart from the CCP’s own words, few people in the international community believe the CCP’s claims because the possibility of accidental leakage of the virus from the laboratory is high.

Collins: Scientists may leak SARS-CoV-2 from WIV while studying it
Images : Video Screenshots
On 23 August, a feature film "COVID-19 Virus Leaked from a Chinese Laboratory?" was broadcast on British TV4. This documentary, through factual analysis, believes that the possibility of a virus leaking from a Chinese laboratory is relatively high.
On the same day, Francis Collins, Dean of the National Institutes of Health, told CNBC, “From other perspectives, a large amount of evidence shows that this is a naturally occurring virus. It can be secretly studied at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. We don’t know. But the virus itself has no traces of deliberate creation by humans."
Collins immediately added that, “It is not ruled out that scientists at the Wuhan Institute of Virology are secretly studying it and may leak it from there.” “Because China (the CCP) refuses to participate, the WHO investigation has become more difficult.”
Collins said, "Would it not be great if they (the Chinese Communist Party) made the laboratory's database public and let the world know what they did there and learn more about the people who fell ill in November 2019?"
If it is really like what Collins envisioned, the CCP will disclose all the original materials, and there will be no suspicions. This is probably impossible because the international community is facing the CCP, an evil regime that is extremely opaque.
Things have left traces. As long as you have done something, no matter how you cover it up, there will be traces left behind.

WIV owns device for treatment of "accidental contact" with deadly pathogens
The American conservative website "The National Pulse" reported that the Wuhan laboratory had applied for a device patent for the treatment of "accidental contact" with deadly pathogens one month before the outbreak of SARS-CoV-2.
The article stated that a patent application that was dug up showed that on 15 November 2019, scientists at the Wuhan laboratory designed a tourniquet-type device to wrap a finger that was bleeding due to a laboratory accident. The patent application clearly states that this tool is designed for "accidental exposure of medical personnel or biosafety laboratory personnel, especially wounds".
The patent application shows that this fast finger binding tool "can easily bandage finger wounds, and has the functions of slowing blood circulation and hemostasis."
Image : Video Screenshot
The patent application lists researchers from the WIV. Among them are Wu Jia, the head of laboratory safety in the third-level biosafety facility of the Wuhan laboratory, and Li Liping, deputy secretary of the laboratory’s party committee and secretary of the Disciplinary Committee. Tang Hao, who was once named the best young man of the WIV, is also on the list.
The first batch of patients notified by the CCP was at the end of 2019, and the Wuhan laboratory applied for this patent on 15 November 2019. It means that before 15 November, the Wuhan laboratory was already designing this tool.
This tool is designed to prevent infection with the deadly pathogen, the novel coronavirus. How can this be explained? Will the CCP call it a "coincidence"?

CCP vaccines are not effective, not recognized by U.S. authoritative university
On 23 August, China National Pharmaceutical Group Chief Scientist Zhang Yuntao told the Chinese Communist Party's official media that "researches conducted in the UAE found that after the third injection, the antibody increased by 30%", which has a significant effect on preventing the infection of mutant strains.
On 20 August, Zhong Nanshan, a CCP’s expert and academician of the Academy of Engineering, also boasted about the CCP’s two vaccines, claiming that the protection rate of domestic vaccines such as Sinovac CoronaVac against Delta variant (Covi72) was close to 60%, and the critical illness protection rate was 100%. He also said that after more than 80% of the population is vaccinated, China can establish effective herd immunity.
But in fact, just a few hours before the academician’s talk, on August 19, Johns Hopkins University in the United States denied two Chinese vaccines. The school stated that it only approved three vaccines approved by the US Food and Drug Administration: Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson.
The school explained that “recent reports show that certain vaccines may be less effective for Delta.” The school requires students who are about to return to school to complete a new vaccination before 8 October and upload a certificate.
Radio Free Asia pointed out that this means that most students who have been vaccinated with Sinopharm, CoronaVac and other vaccines cannot meet the school's return to school conditions.
Johns Hopkins University is a world leader in the field of public health and has a certain degree of authority. Although they did not directly explain, the actual practice is equivalent to denying the effectiveness of the two Chinese vaccines. Even if they are vaccinated, they will not be able to protect against the Delta variant/B.1.617.2 (Covi72).
Mainland netizens are quite familiar with the CCP’s rhetoric. In order to force people to vaccinate, the CCP has various lies to deceive people. But think about it, everyone, knowing that the vaccine is not effective, but forcing people to get vaccinated, what are you doing?
The Chinese all know a saying: Don’t rub the sand in your eyes. The medicine that people take when they get sick is called "fighting poison with poison" in the term of the elderly, and this vaccine is actually the same. Now the CCP insists on forcing people to inject ineffective vaccines. Can you think of the CCP’s evil?
In fact, Covi72 has rendered the Chinese Communist Party's domestic vaccine useless, let alone a new virus, called a "super virus" by scientists, which has already appeared.

Forcing people to get vaccinated, carpet search has indicators
People in mainland China are being forced to vaccinate locally.

A netizen in a county in Xinxiang, Henan sent a screenshot showing that "everyone" must be vaccinated, "according to the common standard of vaccination", otherwise the community will not be allowed to leave the community.
A friend from the northeast of mainland China said in an email that Jilin Province and many other places issued notices requiring employees of units over the age of 18 to "take various methods to persuade them to get vaccinated." Including "carpet search" for relatives, friends, classmates and colleagues, and neighborhood residents, each employee has 2 tasks.
The friend also stated that “if teachers do not complete their tasks, they will receive a commendation on Teacher’s Day, end-of-year awards, and title evaluation” with a one-vote veto. Some units have notified that people who have not been vaccinated are not allowed to enter public places.

Import cases are ridiculous, Shanghai has an earlier epidemic
The evil of the CCP can no longer be described in human language.
When I was finishing this manuscript, a Shanghai netizen wrote me such a paragraph. "I have always had a lot of questions about overseas imports. Why did those people who imported overseas fly to China from different countries and were not detected by other countries before taking off, but they were all detected when they arrived in China? China's medical and equipment technology Are they leading other countries? I really think that overseas importing is ridiculous."
The netizen also talked about one thing that made him highly suspect that the epidemic in Shanghai "has started a long time ago." A friend is going to play with him, and he helps this friend book a room. In the case of a wrong point, it was found that the hotel named "Vienna" near his home had all the rooms full within a month, not a single room.
The friend said, "I have worked in a five-star hotel. I know very well that no matter which hotel does not exist, no one has checked out in a month. Even if there is a company doing package rooms for activities, there are still several rooms. , Or rooms on several floors." The netizen said, "I believe this hotel has been used for isolation for a long time."
I think this friend's analysis is worthy of serious consideration by mainland friends. Don't trust the CCP's propaganda. Believing in the propaganda of the CCP is really dangerous. I saw a netizen made up a jingle: Believe in the Communist Party and go directly to the crematorium.

U.S. research: Super antibody "SARS2-38" neutralizes all known variant viruses

The global covid epidemic has spread for more than a year, and the medical community has seen a glimmer of light against the mutant virus! According to the latest news, the US research team has discovered a super antibody called SARS2-38 that can neutralize all known variants of SARS-CoV-2 (Wuhan virus), which will help develop treatment methods and vaccines.
Scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, USA, studied 43 samples and analyzed their effectiveness in preventing infection with the original strain of the Wuhan virus. After that, 9 antibodies with the strongest neutralizing ability were selected for testing in rodents, and finally 2 were selected to evaluate the kind of antibody with the best protective effect.
After using these two antibodies to test a series of variant strains, the researchers finally found that the antibody SARS2-38 can easily fight against all currently known variant strains, including 4 variant viruses worthy of attention (Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta), 2 kinds of mutants (Iota, Kappa) that need attention, and other rare mutants that are considered as potential threats.
The research report pointed out that the SARS2-38 antibody can fight against all mutant strains. The key is that it can attach to the part of the spike protein of the Wuhan virus that has always remained unchanged. This means that if the virus has more mutations in the future, the antibody can still maintain the protective effect, and researchers can combine it with other antibodies to create a more effective combination therapy against mutant viruses.
The researchers pointed out that the SARS2-38 antibody is both highly neutralizing (meaning it is very effective at low concentrations) and broadly neutralizing (meaning it is effective against all variants). For antibodies, this is an unusual and very ideal combination. The research results were published on the official website of the University of Washington.

Concerned about ISIS attacks, Biden decides not to postpone Afghanistan's 31 August withdrawal deadline
Taliban required that all foreign evacuation operations must be completed before 31 August or be prepared for consequences. The White House stated on 24 August that due to the growing threat of the Islamic State (ISIS), President Joe Biden decided to complete the withdrawal by 31 August 2021 according to the plan, but emphasized that it reserved the opportunity to extend the time and requested the State Department and the Department of Defence to come up with an emergency plan.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki stated in a statement on the 24th that Biden relayed his decision at the G7 Leaders Video Conference on 24 August, stating that the US evacuation mission in Kabul will be on schedule. It will be completed within the deadline of 31 August, and will provide updates on the evacuation of Americans who wish to return home, nationals of third countries, and Afghans who were allies during the war.
Psaki said that Biden also clearly conveyed that the threat from the terrorist organization "Islamic State-Khorasan" (ISIS) is increasing day by day. The daily operations of the United States in Afghanistan increase the risk of ground forces, and it must complete by end of August. The completion of the evacuation task before the 31st depends on the continuous coordination with Taliban, including continuing to allow evacuees to enter the airport. In addition, Biden emphasized to retain the opportunity to extend the time and asked the State Department and the Department of Defence to formulate emergency plans to adjust the evacuation time when necessary.
The Reuters report quoted two U.S. officials as revealing that due to fears of retaliation by Taliban, Afghans and foreign citizens flocked to the Kabul airport, hoping to leave Afghanistan as soon as possible. This also made people worry that the ISIS would launch a suicide attack at the airport. One of the US officials said that the question is not whether the ISIS will launch an attack, but when it will launch an attack. The top priority is to complete the evacuation before the attack occurs.

President Kamala Harris (pictured) was originally scheduled to fly from Singapore to
Vietnam in the afternoon of the 24th. However, due to an "anomalous health
incident" at the Embassy in Hanoi, the flight was delayed for 3 hours
before departure. (Associated Press)
U.S. Vice President Kamala Harriswas originally scheduled to fly from Singapore to Vietnam in the afternoon of 24 August. However, due to an " anomalous health incident" reported from the U.S. Embassy in Hanoi, the special plane was delayed for 3 hours before it took off from Seletar Airport in Singapore.
According to comprehensive foreign media reports, during this Southeast Asia trip, Harris first stayed in Singapore for 2 days and was originally scheduled to visit Vietnam on Tuesday afternoon. However, the US Embassy in Hanoi notified that "an anomalous health incident may occur recently." The journey was delayed for several hours.
" Anomalous health incident" is used by the U.S. government to describe the mysterious "Havana syndrome". It was originally reported from the U.S. Embassy in Havana, Cuba in 2016. The victims suffered dizziness, headaches, and even brain damage. The explained symptoms are sometimes accompanied by unidentified "directed sharp noise."
The U.S. Embassy stated that "after careful evaluation, it was decided to continue the visit of the Vice President." After a delay of more than three hours, the special plane took off from Singapore at about 7.30 pm. On the Vice President’s special plane "Air Force Two", according to spokesman Symone Sanders, everything was fine and Harris is looking forward to the meeting in Hanoi on 25 August.
The Director of the Central Intelligence
Agency (CIA) William Burns said in July that about 200 American officials and

TSMC, Yongling, and Tzu Chi purchased a total of 15 million doses of Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine/Comirnaty. Hon Hai founder Guo Taiming went to Europe to procure the goods in person in early August. After arriving in Taiwan a few days ago, he was quarantined at home. With Guo Dong personally advancing the orders, the outside world is very concerned about when the first batch of Comirnaty will arrive in Taiwan.
According to a person familiar with the matter, it is estimated that about 1.5 million to 2 million doses will arrive first by the end of August at the earliest, but whether the public can use it as soon as possible depends.
The representative Xie Zhiwei in Germany once revealed that an official from an important German ministry told him that "the progress of Comirnaty supply to Taiwan is very positive."
There is also news that the first batch of Comirnaty may be delivered on 18 September, which is expected to be arriving in Taiwan before the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Regarding vaccine progress or needed assistance and difficult dispatch, Yongling Foundation CEO Liu Youtong responded on 21 August, "The foundation information has been informed to government units. Regardless of the timetable or further decisions that benefit the public, respect the command center’s explanation."
According to a report by "Lianhe News", people familiar with the matter revealed that 1.5 to 2 million doses of Comirnaty should arrive in Taiwan at the end of August, but the key to getting the people to vaccinate as soon as possible lies in "not having political interference."
In addition, some militia people estimate that, in addition to the first batch of 15 million doses of vaccine donated by the three major groups, it is estimated that 7.5 million doses of vaccine will be available before November. Between 1.5 million and 2 million doses of vaccine will arrive every month.

Moderna and Comirnaty doses will arrive at the end of August? The number is very big
Domestic covi vaccination has been expanded. As of 24 August, the total number of vaccinations in Taiwan has exceeded 10.24 million, the coverage rate of the vaccine population is 40.32%, and the dose population ratio is 43.66 doses per 100 people. However, the school is about to start in September, and the revitalization five times coupons are expected to hit the road in October. By then, people are preparing to receive paper coupons.
Many people still have not been vaccinated. The outside world is concerned about when the next batch of vaccines will arrive. President Tsai Ing-wen revealed on 23 August that a vaccine will be coming at the end of August, which has attracted heated discussions from all walks of life. Veteran media person Huang Weihan revealed yesterday, "This time the number of vaccines is very large."
Regarding Tsai Ing-wen’s claim that the vaccine is about to arrive, the command center commander Chen Shizhong responded a few days ago and reported to the people last week that vaccines will gradually come in during this time. Please wait patiently.
In this regard, Huang Weihan revealed in the program "Critical Moments" that the vaccines Tsai Ing-wen said should refer to imported vaccines, which may be AZ, Moderna or Comirnaty. He said that if the public still has doubts about MVC-COV1901, a large number of international vaccines will arrive at the end of August, and "the number is very large, bigger than you think."
Huang Weihan added that the quantity of this batch of vaccines is expected to satisfy 60,000 teachers, 60,000 military personnel, and 7,000 postal personnel. Asked by the host Liu Baojie, could there be millions of doses? He responded that the numbers are very close and will be announced by the command centre.
Talking about why postal personnel should be given priority to vaccination, Huang Weihan explained that because the government will issue five times coupons in October at the earliest. If people want to receive the promotion coupons at the counter by then, postal personnel must be vaccinated as soon as possible. Currently, only MVC-COV1901 doses are available. International vaccines arrive in Taiwan at the end of the month, and these problems are expected to be resolved.
SMC, Yongling, and Tzu Chi have purchased a total of 15 million doses of Comirnaty, and on 25 August 2021 it was reported that the first batch of this vaccine is expected to arrive in Taiwan at the end of August, and the quantity is expected to reach 1.5 million doses. 2 million doses, but the key to whether the vaccine can be launched as quickly as possible lies in not being interfered by political forces.
In response, Liu Youtong, CEO of the Yongling Foundation, responded that Hon Hai’s founder Guo Taiming has indicated to everyone that the European trip has completed the phased goals, and relevant information has been notified to the relevant government agencies. For vaccine information, respect the instructions of the epidemic command centre. She also said that how to make vaccines reach Taiwan faster, more, and safely is the wish of the whole Taiwan people. She emphasizes, "Considering the benefit of many parties, we have not been disturbed by political power this time!"
Third case of suspected adverse event after MVC-COV1901 vaccination
On 25 August 2021, a 44-year-old man working in a food chemical factory in Dayuan District, Taoyuan, suddenly passed out at work and lost his life. He had his first dose of MVC-COV1901 vaccination on 23 August. After paramedics arrived, he was sent to Minsheng Hospital. The Dayuan Detachment of the Third Brigade arrived at 9.47 am and immediately gave the man surnamed Wen CPR, AED, established respiratory tract emergency treatment and sent him to Minsheng Hospital where he eventually died. As for whether it is related to the vaccine, it remains to be investigated.
Reuters: Comirnaty will arrive in Taiwan as soon as next week
According to a Reuters report, Taiwan will be able to obtain the first batch of Pfizer vaccines from the end of August to early September at the earliest. The quantity exceeds one million doses, which is about a month earlier than originally scheduled. Sources told Reuters that because of mainland supervision the unit has postponed its approval to use Comirnaty. So the extra doses will be supplied to Taiwan in priority.

Clearing the cases to zero, coexistence with virus, two strategies are not contradictory, and all people get vaccinated to end the plague
Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in early 2020, Hong Kong has been fighting the epidemic for about 20 months. Compared with the UK prevalence rate of 9.51% and the mortality rate of 2.03%, the US prevalence rate of 11.23% and the mortality rate of 1.66% (Note 1), the incidence rate in Hong Kong is much lower than that of the UK, the United States and European countries. The prevailing rate in Hong Kong is 0.16%; the mortality rate is about 1.76%.
Local doctors and nurses stay close to their posts. The public medical system can still maintain a high standard of service without paralysis. Patients are also treated in isolation. The success of Hong Kong’s fight against the epidemic is due to the concerted efforts of the local citizens.
In the early stages of the epidemic, surgical masks were widely used, social distancing measures were observed, and border controls were adopted. Subsequently, public hospitals and the private market have greatly improved their detection capabilities in a short period of time, so that people with mild symptoms can be detected early, which will help isolate and track them and prevent the spread of the virus.
The Center for Health Protection has set up a quick contact tracing team and conducted large-scale testing of the entire building where the confirmed case lives or has been visited, so as to isolate all cases and close contacts as soon as possible. Since the emergence of vaccines at the beginning of this year, research reports and experiences of various countries have provided important reference value for Hong Kong's long-term epidemic prevention strategies.
News (29)
Containment and clearing is different from extinguishing
In human history, only smallpox was successfully eradicated permanently. Smallpox can be transmitted through the air (basic reproductive number, R0: how many people can be infected by a patient, smallpox R0=5). The skin of the patient has vesicular acne, so it is easy to find and isolate. Eradication of smallpox (eradication) took 184 years from the emergence of an effective vaccine to the complete disappearance of smallpox.
There are many people who are infected with covid without symptoms and can continue to spread covi. Therefore, it is more difficult to fight the disease than smallpox. The goal of containment and clearance is not to eradicate covid but to buy time to vaccinate the entire population.
When foreign countries cannot achieve zero-clearing, it is also difficult for Hong Kong to maintain zero-diagnostics for a long time. In addition, if Hong Kong does not open its borders early and resume economic activities with the mainland and the international community, Hong Kong cannot survive.
The public should seize the space of Hong Kong's current clearance and get vaccinated as soon as possible, so that most people will have a certain degree of immunity and reduce the lethality of the virus.
News (30)
Variants destroy herd immunity
Epidemic prevention measures must be adjusted on the spot according to the current epidemic situation. The virus is constantly mutating and epidemic prevention goals must also be changed.
The calculation of herd immunity is based on the basic reproduction rate of the virus, the percentage of the vaccinated population is evenly distributed among all age groups, and the assumption that the vaccine is close to 100% effective (Note 2).
The mathematical calculation of the original Wuhan virus R0=2.5 shows that if a vaccine with an effective rate of about 95% such as Comirnaty is used, only about 70% of the population can be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity. However, the Delta variant (Covi72) that appeared in the middle of 2021 has a significant increase in transmission to R0=7 (Note 3), and the effectiveness of the vaccine has dropped to about 88%.
Calculations show that it takes about 97.4% of the vaccination rate to achieve herd immunity.
The effective rate of Sinovac CoronaVac against Covi72 is about 60%. If the whole population is vaccinated with this vaccine, the threshold for herd immunity is 142.9%. About 40% of Hong Kong's population (those who have been vaccinated) are vaccinated with CoronaVac. Therefore, the required vaccination rate ranges from 97.4% to 142.9% (see the attached figure for the calculation formula).
The vaccination rate of more than 100% may seem counterintuitive at first glance, but this number reflects the continuous evolution of virus strains, increasing transmission efficiency, and reducing the effectiveness of vaccines, greatly increasing the threshold of herd immunity and becoming an unattainable castle in the sky.
In fact, early animal experiments showed that vaccine injection can mainly prevent severe illness (Note 4), but it cannot effectively prevent asymptomatic upper respiratory tract infections.
The protection of the vaccine is in the body. It mainly protects the lungs and fails to reduce the amount of upper respiratory tract virus. Therefore, the infection only decreases but can still continue.
Real-life data of confirmed cases in Hong Kong at the airport and data from other countries show that even those who have completed the vaccination can still be infected, and most people have no symptoms but they can still spread large amounts of live viruses and are infectious (Note 5).
Recent studies published in Singapore and the United States pointed out that people infected with Covi72 after vaccination have the same amount of nasal virus in the early stage as those without vaccination but the virus level declines faster. So the vaccine can shorten the infection period (Note 6). Even if the vaccine fails to effectively reduce the spread of the virus in asymptomatic patients, the two vaccines can still effectively reduce the lethality of Covi72 and prevent severe and death cases after infection.
News (31)
Realistic data, learn from experience
Countries with high vaccination rates, such as 60% to nearly 80% of the United States, the United Kingdom and Israel, after relaxing their epidemic prevention measures, the epidemic broke out again. At present, in the UK, the daily number of diagnoses and deaths is approximately 31,000 and 100, respectively; Israel also has approximately 7,400 and 20, respectively, and in the United States there are approximately 146,000 and 960 respectively (Note 1).
Israel is one of the countries with the highest vaccination rate in the world. It has been relaxed since the spring. After the reopening, citizens will travel abroad, but even those who have completed the vaccination can still be infected. In addition, children under the age of 12 have not started vaccination, so after the children return home, the patients can spread the drug at school and cause an outbreak (Note 7).
Using mathematical calculations to estimate the herd immunity threshold and vaccination rate, it is assumed that human-to-human contact occurs randomly, and the vaccinated population is evenly distributed among all age groups. However, the reality is not the case.
News (32)
Less than 20% of Hong Kong elderly population vaccinated
The current coverage rate of elderly homes in Hong Kong is less than 20%, and only about 10% of the population aged 80 or above receive the first dose of the vaccine, and there are still about 10% of the population under 12 years of age who still have not received the vaccine. There are opportunities to be vaccinated. Therefore, the current situation in Hong Kong cannot be compared with Singapore.
News (33)
Singapore elderly vaccination rate is about 90%
The overall vaccination rate in Singapore is about 80%, and the vaccination rate for the elderly reaches about 90%.
News (34)
Why Hong Kong needs to maintain containment and zero-clearance strategy
However, the immunization rate of the elderly in Hong Kong is low, and the overall fully vaccinated population is only about 45%. Hong Kong has a dense population. Based on past experience, all four waves of epidemics in Hong Kong were caused by imported cases. As long as one case slips through, a large-scale community outbreak can occur in an instant. Therefore, Hong Kong now needs to maintain a containment and zero-clearance strategy, and before considering reopening the border and further relaxing social distancing measures, it is necessary to ensure that all persons who are suitable for vaccination have completed the two doses.
News (35)
Clearing the cases and coexistence with the virus, two policy rotation, covid will exist for a long time
Anti-epidemic policies must keep pace with the times and respond flexibly to the various stages of the pandemic with different countermeasures. Therefore, "containment and clearance" and "coexistence with the virus" are not contradictory. COVID-19 will not disappear completely after several months of raging like SARS in 2003. On the contrary, it will be like other human coronaviruses (such as OC43, 229E, NL63, HKU1, etc.), after reaching the balance of herd immunity, it will coexist harmoniously with humans for a long time (see attached table, note 8).
Generally, the human body has some neutralizing antibodies against the above-mentioned human coronaviruses but the immune system cannot completely prevent the virus from infecting the upper respiratory tract. Especially when the antibody level in the body declines over time, such as natural infection after one to two years, the infection can be repeated, and the disease is generally mild (Note 9). However, human coronaviruses can also cause severe illness. For example, the death rate can reach 10% when HKU1 infects the elderly or those whose immune system is suppressed (Note 10).
News (36)
Difficult to eradicate any human coronavirus
It is very difficult to completely eradicate the human coronavirus because healthy people have mild symptoms after infection, the source cannot be traced, the spread cannot be stopped, and it spreads to the community in an instant. The new crown is the same. When most people are vaccinated or have natural immunity, the new crown virus is very likely to become another common cold virus. When the level of neutralizing antibodies in the serum declines over time, the elderly and immunosuppressed patients may need to be vaccinated again to enhance immune protection.
The novel coronavirus vaccine was developed and approved for emergency use in less than one year. Therefore, it is absolutely understandable that some citizens are worried and hesitant about the safety of the vaccine. So far, there is no direct cause and effect relationship between serious events after the vaccine, and known potentially fatal complications such as anaphylactic shock (1-2 per million) and myocarditis (50 per million) are extremely rare. Compared with the 2% mortality rate of coronavirus disease, the above risks are insignificant.

Hong Kong study: Correct use of traditional intramuscular injection can reduce the risk of myocarditis
Recently, our department's research has solved the cause of myocarditis after mRNA vaccine. Only the correct use of traditional intramuscular injection can reduce the risk of myocarditis caused by accidentally injecting mRNA vaccine into a vein (Note 11). As for whether to use the third booster, the clinical trial data is not yet sufficient, and we can only wait for new research data before making a decision.

Hong Kong predicts the epidemic under control in December 2021
The academia originally estimated that in December this year, the epidemic should be under control, but the emergence of Covi72 has necessitated the re-estimation and planning of anti-epidemic countermeasures by health departments and academia around the world.
Everyone must understand that virus mutation is the law of nature, and whether it mutates or not, human factors cannot control it.
News (39)
First-generation covi vaccines are imperfect
In general, the emergence of mutant viruses shows that the first-generation vaccines are not yet perfect, and it has also shattered the illusion of herd immunity. Scientists can only challenge the virus calmly, adapt to current conditions, and with humility, continue to patiently use scientific methods to gradually dismantle this century's problems.
Vaccines are the most tangible and best weapon at this stage to end this century's epidemic. People are urged to cherish the achievements of modern science, seize the opportunity, and get vaccinated as soon as possible.

Hong Kong experts suggest measures to reduce the risk of Delta infection
Due to the impossibility of border control and the limited effectiveness of the vaccine against the Delta variant, the following measures can be taken to reduce the risk:
(1) Entry persons who have completed vaccination and are positive for serum antibodies can be tested for viral nucleic acid every other day as a condition for relaxing the quarantine period in the quarantine center.
(2) Participating in large-scale gatherings or activities that remove masks, such as banquets, fitness, indoor ball games, singing and dancing gatherings, face-to-face classrooms in middle schools, and other indoor activities, must present a vaccination certificate, and the vaccination rate threshold depends on the epidemic situation. Live fine-tuning. If a newer and more contagious variant virus appears again, face-to-face classrooms must be reduced, and a mixed online (unvaccinated students) and face-to-face teaching mode (inoculated students) should be adopted to reduce the risk of outbreaks in schools.
(3) Strengthen the flow of fresh air in all indoor places, especially schools, banquet halls, fitness rooms, indoor sports fields, private clubs and entertainment venues, such as mahjong halls, karaoke, etc. When investigating at the outbreak site earlier, the Electrical and Mechanical Services Department's measurements showed that the air flow rate in hotels and restaurants was lower than the original design standard. Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the ventilation system is well maintained.
(4) Vaccines can greatly reduce the lethality of the virus, but cannot completely prevent the spread. Even if 90% of the population is vaccinated, citizens still have to wear masks daily to reduce the chance of transmission. Masks can not only prevent the new coronavirus, but also prevent the spread of influenza and other respiratory viruses. After the extensive use of masks by the people of Hong Kong in the past two years, the seasonal flu has been greatly reduced. At the same time, the immunity of the people against flu will generally decline. Therefore, they must be vaccinated against seasonal flu to prevent a rebound.
The vaccination will be completed by all the people in the next day, and then the coexistence policy can be discussed in depth. However, the vaccination rate is low, and it is difficult to discuss the next stage of epidemic prevention strategies in detail.
