Chen Shizhong said frankly that he was surprised by the enthusiastic record.Chen Shizhong said that the number of applicants currently exceeds 18,000. “This speed is not within my expectations!” Chen Shizhong said the platform will be established in the hope of “self-help,” which means speeding up the development of domestic vaccines, especially during vaccine trials. Usually a lot of time is spent recruiting experimenters. The government uses the platform to allow those willing to register. In the future, hospitals will be recruited relatively quickly into future clinical trials, saving time that shouldn’t be delayed. “This is great for home vaccine development. Advantageous.” Chen Shizhong also said in his speech at the “International Biomedical Intelligent Accelerator Project 2020” that due to the epidemic, everyone has deeply felt that “time is life.”
When human trials of the vaccines are underway, Chen Shizhong also said that because there will be tens of thousands of people in clinical trials, there will inevitably be reports of adverse reactions. He said adverse reactions include physical and psychological aspects, but the most important thing is safety and security. As for side effects, he said that the vaccine tested by then will be used in healthy people, and safety is the most important, but it is inevitable that there will be a lot of noise at that time. He said the outside world shouldn’t worry too much.
Chen Shizhong also mentioned that the foreign epidemic is very serious, especially in the United States, where 1 in 30 people are diagnosed. He said that Taiwan is currently relatively safe compared to other places, but also said that in the global epidemic, no country can In addition, he believes that when the COVAX vaccine is distributed, no place should be bypassed, otherwise it will continue to cause a gap in the international prevention of epidemics and there will be no real security. He also asked the WHA and the World Health Organization not to miss out on medical treatment. Anywhere, “After all, viruses know no borders!”
