North American Watch 丨 New Coronary Vaccine Causes Adverse Reactions Again US Public Has Many Doubts-Finance News

Original title: North American Watch 丨 New Crown Vaccine Causes Adverse Reactions Again The American Public Has Many Suspicious Sources: CCTV News Client

On December 23 local time, the New York City Department of Health reported that a New York City medical worker had a severe allergic reaction after being vaccinated with the new corona vaccine. This is the latest case of adverse reactions reported by vaccinators in the United States. At the same time, as some vaccine chaos continues to be exposed and some experts say the new mutant coronavirus may have turned up in the United States, this negative news has made the American public more suspicious of vaccination.

　　Adverse Reactions Reported Everywhere

The New York City Department of Health issued a statement on December 23, saying: “We have received a copy ofPfizerReports of severe allergic reactions after the new corona vaccine. At present, medical personnel have been treated and their condition is temporarily stable. “

However, the New York City health department has not forgotten to reassure people, saying that allergic reactions after the new corona vaccine are extremely rare and that vaccination work will continue as usual.

According to data from the New York City government, more than 30,000 people have been vaccinated in the city. The New York City Department of Health stated that this is the first time the city has experienced serious side effects from vaccines. “We will continue to promote vaccination and distribution to ensure that medical staff and nursing home staff are protected by the vaccine.”

Currently, New York City has begun vaccinating the two new corona vaccines from Pfizer and Modena. It was previously reported that a severe case of allergy occurred this time, and it is not 100% sure which vaccine was given to medical personnel with side effects, but experts believe Based on data from clinical trials, vaccination with the Pfizer vaccine has such adverse reactions. However, the New York City Department of Health declined to release further information, saying only that it is working with the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to closely monitor more cases of side effects. of vaccines.

In fact, before the first serious allergic reaction in New York, Alaska had three consecutive cases of adverse reactions after vaccination by medical personnel.

The first case occurred on December 15, a local medical staff experienced allergic reactions such as tachycardia, shortness of breath and skin rash 10 minutes after vaccination, the second case occurred on day 16, also 10 minutes after vaccination. The vaccinators developed symptoms such as swollen eyes, dizziness, and itchy throat; the third incident occurred on the day 17.10 minutes after vaccination, a doctor developed allergic symptoms, including swelling of the tongue, hoarseness and difficulty breathing. He was immediately sent to the hospital for treatment.

After reports of adverse reactions in various places, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently declared that people allergic to the relevant components of the new vaccine crown should not be vaccinated. However, people who are allergic to non-vaccine ingredients, such as food and pets, and those who are mildly allergic to vaccines, can still get vaccinated. The agency recommends that before vaccinating the new corona vaccine, you should ask your doctor if it is suitable for vaccination.

　　It is necessary to correct the chaos of vaccines

Due to reports of adverse reactions among vaccinators in various locations, Moncef Sloy, the head of the new US crown vaccine project, said: “We are moving forward on a plan to test the Modena and Pfizer vaccine in extremely allergic subjects. Vaccines and trying to understand the immune mechanism behind this allergic reaction. ”Many medical experts say that allergic reactions caused by vaccines are rare, but they do happen sometimes.

In addition to the more recent Pfizer vaccine, some experts say that the Modena vaccine can cause side effects such as fatigue, headache, and muscle pain, and some rare symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and facial swelling. These symptoms are very likely Activated by injection. Although some side effects are difficult to eliminate, most go away on their own within a week.

In addition to the side effects, after the United States launched the first batch of COVID-19 vaccination work on December 15, there has been some chaos, including issues such as the cold chain anomaly in the transport process of the vaccine that caused the vaccine to be discarded and the inability to receive the predetermined number of vaccines in some locations. They all have an impact on public confidence.

In addition, some large companies and wealthy individuals are using various forces to try to obtain priority vaccination rights. Multiple media outlets recently exposed multiple incidents of trying to buy high-priced vaccines, some people even considering donating to hospitals in exchange for vaccines. In this case, ethnic minorities and low-income communities may be victims of the epidemic prevention process.

Due to these series of negative factors, the confidence of the American public in the new corona vaccine appears insufficient. A survey conducted by National Geographic found that only 61% of Americans are willing to get vaccinated. Among the 2,201 Americans surveyed, 37% answered “very likely,” 24% answered “somewhat possible,” 11% said “unlikely,” and 19% said “very unlikely,” “another 10% of respondents said. not know.

　　Mutated virus adds more variables

Currently, due to the rapid spread of the new mutated coronavirus in the UK, scientists around the world are intensifying their assessment of the related risks. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said recently that he believes this mutated virus will eventually spread in the United States, and may even have appeared in the United States, but he does not believe that this mutated virus is the cause of the current United States. United. Reasons for the increase in cases of infection.

Today, drug companies are still working hard to convey positive messages, trying to allay public doubts about whether vaccines can cover mutant viruses. A Pfizer spokesperson said that even if there is a new variant of the virus that is not well covered by the current vaccine, the genetic technology used by the company to produce the vaccine is flexible and can change the sequence of ribonucleic acid in the vaccine to cover the new variant.

The spokesperson also said that Pfizer and its partners have analyzed blood samples from vaccinators to test the vaccine’s ability to deal with multiple mutants. So far, the company has found consistent coverage for all detected variants. Pfizer and its partners are now generating relevant data, trying to use blood samples from the vaccinated population to understand how strong the vaccine is against new variants.

Although US public health experts and pharmaceutical industry executives said that the latest approved vaccine can prevent infection with this mutant virus, there is still uncertainty. As Angela Rasmussen, a virologist at Georgetown University’s Center for Global Health Sciences and Security, said: “The new variant of the virus is concerning, but we still have a lot of things we don’t know … I don’t think we can draw any conclusions. You just have to know that we need to do a deeper investigation. “

In the current situation of many uncertainties, Bloomberg recently commented that the new corona vaccine needs more testing.

Bloomberg said that if there is any common theme in America’s response to the new corona epidemic, it is a staggering waste. Our leaders waste time and public trust, as well as people’s financial and emotional resources. They missed opportunities to do scientific work and did not test drugs and vaccines in a way that served the interests of the people more than the interests of pharmaceutical companies. But it is not too late to change direction. For example, you can test the possibility of switching from two injections to one. Still, ongoing research is needed. (CCTV reporter Gu Xiang)
