Countries around the world see the Wuhan pneumonia vaccine as the only solution to alleviate the COVID-19 epidemic, and they rushed to buy it. Chen Shizhong, commander of the Epidemic Central Command Center, publicly criticized her for the first time yesterday. countries overbought the total population 4 times, and he sighed: “Is it going to break if I buy that much?”
However, at today’s command center press conference, he did not reveal which countries are overbought, only which countries buy a lot, which can be found on the internet. “Apple News” then collected relevant information from recent international reports and found that the control of the Canadian epidemic in the northern hemisphere was not so bad, but the acquisition of vaccines bought 10.6 times the total population, which is called the ” overbought king. “
According to international news reports, Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau would prefer to be too cautious and have to vaccinate the entire population. Through orders and options, Canada has now announced more than 400 million doses of vaccines, and vaccine purchases have bought a total population of about 37.59 million, 10.6 times more.
Popular today:The first case this year! A 5-year-old male from Kaohsiung infected with Hanta virus was attacked by rats and released into 55 cages.
Regarding the purchase of vaccines in other countries, “Apple” also found that Australia has a population of more than 25 million, which is about the same as Taiwan’s 23 million, but has bought 140 million doses, which is approximately 5.6 times the total population. Excess buying power is also very strong. It ordered 367 million doses of vaccines, which is about 5.6 times the total population of more than 66 million in the UK, and its fighting power is similar to Australia’s. Hong Kong also successfully purchased 22.5 million doses of vaccines, which is roughly three times the total population of 7.45 million, and its purchasing power is also strong.
In addition, the two neighboring countries of Taiwan, Japan and South Korea, have good purchasing power. Japan has purchased more than 490 million doses of vaccines, which is about double the total population of 240 million people; South Korea has bought more than 74 million doses. of vaccines, which are more than 5,000 doses, more than 10,000 more than 20 million. With a total population of 23 million in my country, only 20 million doses have been taken.
In contrast, some advanced European countries with severe epidemics have poor procurement. For example, Germany and other EU member states launched vaccination plans in December last year, but the EU only buys 300 million doses from Pfizer’s vaccine factory. Seriously inappropriate, the German government has also come under attack.
Today, the global armed lung epidemic remains serious. As of yesterday, the cumulative number of cases in the UK has reached 3,743,734 and 103,126 deaths; the number of cases in Germany has reached 2,19,456 and 55,883 deaths; the number of cases in Canada has reached 79,899 people and 19,664 deaths; Japan has 380,644 cases and 5,503 deaths; South Korea has 77,395 cases and 1,399 deaths; Australia has 28,794 cases and 909 deaths.
♦It is normal for countries to buy in excess! Expert: Need to prevent emergencies in vaccine production
Regarding overbuying vaccines in many countries, infection specialists who did not want to be identified said, “Overbuying vaccines is normal, because it is normal not to know which manufacturers can successfully manufacture vaccines. Of course, they must order. First. “At the same time, we also have to assume that some vaccine factories cannot meet the schedule. They were successful in production, or could not get the medicine certificate, or only part of the post-market emergency situation.
The expert said that under the premise of much uncertainty, overselling is correct, to ensure that people across the country can successfully fight back, and if there are enough stocks, once the future flu epidemic turns into flu, you can still fight successfully. year without losses. “The prevention of epidemics should have been implemented in advance, masks will be stored and, of course, vaccines can be bought in excess.”
Experts say that when countries rush to buy vaccines, they should prepare for the worst. For example, they have ordered several, but only one can be sold. Therefore, it is smart to buy vaccines for each vaccine. the world is overbought. It means that it is correct to do so, and everything in these advanced countries must be carefully considered. “Now the overbought has been confirmed to be correct.
In addition, the expert pointed out that the key now is that Taiwan is too slow to buy vaccines. At that time, all countries were rushing to order vaccines and there was no action in China. Even Toyo said they wanted to buy Pfizer (BNT) but didn’t buy them. Many quantities have been ordered. After that, even the supply exceeds the demand and of course it is out of stock.
The command center did not want to talk too much about the vaccine purchase situation, and even explained it as excessive purchase by major countries. Does it mean that there is no hope that the vaccines will arrive in Taiwan in March? Experts believe that unless a country releases the order quantity, it seems that it is not easy to get it quickly at present and they can put their hopes in domestic vaccines.
Huang Gaobin, vice dean of the China Medical University Affiliated Hospital Infection Control Center, investigated and judged that there are three main factors in slow and limited purchase of vaccines from Taiwan. The first is that the population of Taiwan is small and cannot be bought in large quantities; the second is that vaccine prices cannot get too high. Loses the advantage of competing with other countries; finally, it is affected by the political power of the other side. If the other side puts pressure on the international vaccine factory, it will also reduce the rate of obtaining vaccines from Taiwan. (Shen Nengyuan, Xu Zhijia / Taipei Report)
