Reporter Jian Haozheng / Taipei Report
The Wuhan pneumonia epidemic (COVID-19, new corona pneumonia) is ravaging the world and the vaccine has become the savior. However, it was recently reported that my country paid US $ 50 million for the purchase of the BNT Wufei vaccine from Pfizer, but the original German manufacturer has returned the money and the contract. In this regard, Li Bingying, a Taiwanese pediatric infectious disease physician and member of the expert panel of the Epidemic Central Command Center, said bluntly: “Nothing!” I’ve never heard of this. Unless the company files for bankruptcy, it is unlikely.

Li Bingying accepted the invitation of the radio show “Zhou Yukou Choking News” this morning to speak freely from the experts’ perspective on how the entire village can withstand the epidemic prevention test during the Lunar New Year when the crisis of the Ministry of Taoyuan Hospital (Peach Doctor) has not been fully resolved.
Zhou Yukou asked if the vaccine could be used in late March and become an offensive and defensive war. Is there really a “lockdown” that says China really wants to send us the Wufei vaccine? Li Bingying said that some people are exporting vaccines to Qatar, regardless of whether the UK or the European Union have such actions. Minister Chen also said it may be relatively late for the drug factory to pass. As for “someone wants to send us a vaccine (referring to China)” that’s another matter. It depends on whether the vaccine is qualified or not. After all, the vaccine must be sealed, sampled, tested for antigenicity, and if the research data is reliable. Maybe they will send them to us and use them, “but we have yet to verify.
He also said, “We haven’t really gotten into Chinese vaccines” because many of their vaccines don’t have clinical studies, and their effectiveness and safety should be considered, such as reference to clinical trial reports. Our country now has strict regulations on clinical vaccines. Similarly, we also have to be strict with foreign vaccines. Many conditions must be met. Safety, product consistency, and the number of people in clinical trials must comply with regulations and even inspections. of factories. Regarding the current situation, the current information related to the vaccine in China is in fact incomplete. I currently only see the data on an adenovirus vaccine, but the effect is not good and I will not consider its use now.
Zhou Yukou asked again, does it seem like some people want to import Chinese vaccines to make money? Li Bingying said that this is a trivial matter and the most important thing is safety and efficacy. We are now also in direct communication with Pfizer. It is important to get an effective and safe vaccine.
The new corona pneumonia epidemic is sweeping the world and countries are rushing to buy vaccines. The international procurement of vaccines from my country is not easy, which has attracted attention from all walks of life. Commander Chen Shizhong recently revealed that it is because some large countries overbought vaccines, which is four times their population. If the whole world is hoarding, the vaccine is certainly not enough. In response, senior media official Wu Zijia broke the news that the general agency rights to Pfizer’s BNT vaccine belonged to Shanghai Fosun Pharmaceutical Co., but the Ministry of Health and Welfare wanted to buy directly from Germany, and first paid US $ 50 million and the contract. In the end, the German side said that due to the protest from Shanghai Fosun, all the money and the contract were returned. This incident caused a great stir in society.
