Brazil no longer imports Chinese-made vaccines and uses American vaccines
Brazil initially relied heavily on China’s Coxing vaccine, and has now stopped ordering China’s COVID-19 vaccine, and has shifted to priority purchase of vaccines made in the United States.
Brazil is the main buyer of vaccines produced in China and Beijing’s past successful example of vaccine diplomacy. However, as people continue to worry about the efficacy of the COVID-19 (Chinese Communist Party virus, new coronavirus) vaccine in the Delta variant virus, as well as other vaccines As it becomes more accessible, Brazil is rapidly retreating from vaccines made in China.
The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday (September 11) that the Brazilian government and spokespersons for the local producer Butantan Institute said that the Brazilian government has stopped negotiations to purchase more doses of Koxing vaccine. The Brazilian government also stated that it would not recommend the use of Coxing vaccine as a third booster shot.
Like Brazil, there are several other Latin American countries and Southeast Asian countries that have reduced their dependence on vaccines produced in China. They have all begun to switch to vaccines produced in the United States as their first choice for vaccines. This is also related to the slowdown of domestic vaccination in the United States, which frees up Pfizer and Modena’s overseas vaccine supply.
Brazil has purchased 100 million doses of Coxing vaccine so far, and almost all doses have been delivered. Approximately two-thirds of Brazilians have received one shot of the vaccine, and more than one-third have received two shots.
Brazilian Health Minister Marcelo Queiroga said in a television interview last week that the government no longer recommends the use of Coxing vaccine as a booster shot, but instead recommends Pfizer vaccine.

After the vaccination, she fainted and fainted as soon as she walked out of the clinic. His chin hit the asphalt road. As a result, he went to the hospital for 5 stitches.
Internet celebrity Born recently uploaded a YouTube video sharing the “fainting needle” situation after AZ vaccination. He said that after AZ vaccination, he fainted immediately after leaving the clinic. Afterwards, he was sent to the emergency room of the hospital for treatment, and said that his current condition was okay, but the pronunciation of individual speech would be difficult, and the chin would be painful if he spoke for too long.
Another netizen posted on PTT WomenTalk’s behalf on behalf of a friend. After receiving the AZ vaccine in the morning, the friend’s body temperature gradually increased and chills that afternoon, so he asked the company to go home and rest. He trembled constantly on the way home and was out of breath while walking the stairs. After finally getting home, the whole person can only limp on the bed, gasping for breath constantly, feeling that he can’t breathe air.
In addition, she also mentioned that in the process, apart from the hot body, all the joints all over the body were painful like needles, accompanied by very panting, and breathing was very difficult. As a result, she had to breathe and pant all the time, even from the soles of the feet to the calves and thighs. There was “numbness” in the palms and “limpness of the limbs”. I tried to stand up to get water but couldn’t stand at all.
As soon as the article came out, some netizens said, “I got a hemorrhage in my right eye after the shot, and I asked the doctor that it was rare”, “The whole body was so painful that I was weak, and I couldn’t even get up to the toilet.” God, the door is closed at all.”

Fujian Delta strain spreads and Xianyou County is closed
An outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus in Xianyou County, Putian City, Fujian Province, was preliminarily determined to be a Delta strain. The number of confirmed cases has increased sharply in the past few days. There have been 5 medium-risk areas and 2 high-risk areas. The county has entered a state of lockdown. The latest news indicates that the epidemic has spread to Quanzhou, Fujian. Experts predict that “the scale of the epidemic will not be too small.”

Severe epidemic, Australia purchases 1 million doses of Modena vaccine from EU
As Australia is speeding up vaccination to combat the COVID-19 outbreak with a record high number of cases, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said today that he has purchased an additional 1 million doses of Moderna vaccine from the European Union (EU).
This is undoubtedly a boost to the Australian economy of 2 trillion Australian dollars. Because of the impact of the closure of the two major cities of Sydney and Melbourne, the Australian economy may fall into the second recession in two years.
Australia will remain closed until 70% of Australia’s nearly 26 million people are fully vaccinated. Australia’s vaccine coverage is expected to reach the target by the end of October. Morrison said that 1 million doses of vaccine will arrive later this week. Australia has ordered 25 million doses of Modena vaccine.

Former Australian Prime Minister did not wear a mask and denies violations by informants
Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott received a $500 fine for a photo of him not wearing a mask reported to the police by a passerby. Albert denied the violation and said that this kind of reporting is not the style of Australians.
According to the NSW Public Health Order, residents of the Greater Sydney area need to wear a mask when going out unless they have a doctor’s certificate, but they can be exempted when eating, drinking, exercising or talking with people with hearing difficulties. NSW Police claimed that Albert was found not wearing a mask at Manly Beach on the morning of September 8.
Albert denied that he violated the rules and said that he could reasonably explain the reason for not wearing a mask, but he would not challenge the ticket because he did not want to waste police time. He said that this kind of reporting behavior is not the demeanor of Australians. It is good for everyone to leave this state of the police state as soon as possible.
Last month, NSW Police Chief Mick Fuller released a video of the training to the police, calling on the police to make health order compliance inspection a priority second only to emergency operations, and that they are not responsible for issuing wrong tickets.
Washington DC’s mandatory vaccine policy may lead to a shortage of first responders
The Washington, DC Department of Health requires all medical staff, including firefighters, to receive at least one dose of the vaccine before September 30, otherwise they will face the risk of losing their license or even their jobs.
Some firefighters in Washington, D.C. have launched an opposition campaign, believing that the latest order will create a shortage of personnel in the city’s fire and emergency departments.
Washington D.C. Fire and Emergency Center Sheriff Christopher Bernhard and five-year firefighter Will Jones III believe that vaccine requirements may cause the city’s firefighters to explode. Reduce and hinder the department’s ability to respond to emergencies. They estimate that 900 firefighters-about 48% of the department’s total employees-have not been vaccinated.
Licensed medical workers in Washington, DC can apply for religious or medical exemptions. According to the Washington, D.C. Department of Health, employees need to produce documents stating that “they will be vaccinated against sincere religious beliefs”; for medical exemptions, employees will need to submit a written letter from a licensed medical institution stating the vaccine Vaccination is “not medically advisable.”
South Korea’s epidemic prevention department: Mid-Autumn Festival holiday will become a watershed in epidemic prevention and control
South Korea’s health department stated on the 12th that the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday (19th to 21st) will become a watershed in determining the direction of the epidemic, calling on all citizens to strictly abide by the epidemic prevention code.
The department said that the epidemic situation in the non-capital area has gradually stabilized, but the epidemic situation in the metropolitan area is still urgent. Last week, the average daily number of new cases in the metropolitan area was 1234, a new high. The epidemic in the capital region may spread to the whole country through the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is worrying. Quan Dezhe asked relevant departments and local governments to check the implementation of epidemic prevention in traditional markets, supermarkets, entertainment venues, and public transportation before the holiday, and called on citizens to actively cooperate with epidemic prevention measures.
Regarding the progress of vaccination work, the department said that about 5.4 million people were vaccinated in the past week. As of the day before, the first dose vaccination rate and the full-course vaccination rate reached 64.5% and 39%, respectively. The government will continue to strive to achieve the goal of administering the first dose of vaccine to 70% of the people before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and completing the entire vaccination by the end of October.
After the epidemic, employment has not recovered well, California is listed in dozens of U.S. states
After the outbreak of the Chinese Communist Party virus (Wuhan pneumonia, COVID-19), California took the lead in entering a state of lockdown, and many people were unemployed. Today, California is making slow progress in work recovery, and it ranks almost at the bottom of the United States.
Under the lockdown policy caused by the epidemic, California lost a total of 2.71 million jobs between March and April 2020. By the end of July 2021, California had recovered only a little more than 58% of them, and there were still 1.13 million lost jobs. Work could not be resumed. In this report card, California is one of the bottom 10 states among the 50 states in the United States.
Bank of West Chief Economist Scott. Scott Anderson said that California is ranked 41 out of 50 states in terms of work recovery from the epidemic. This is by no means a competitive performance for California. California faces long-term economic growth challenges, and the epidemic has exposed these problems. , Or it accelerates these problems.
New York and Illinois, like California, are among the bottom 10 states in terms of work recovery. The analysis believes that this is related to the urbanization hubs of these states. Metropolitan areas with high cost of living are also the areas with the weakest recovery, such as Metropolitan areas such as the Bay Area, Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York City are no exception.
More than five adults in Japan received two doses of the vaccine
On September 12, the Minister of Economic Rebirth of Japan, Nishimura Yasunori revealed on the NHK program that more than 50% of the people who have received two doses of the new crown vaccine have been vaccinated. He pointed out that “if it advances at such a speed, it will exceed 60% by the end of this month”, stating that it will reach the same level as Britain and France.
The Japanese government expects to complete the vaccination of all citizens who wish to be vaccinated by the end of November, and at that time it will relax the current movement restrictions on citizens and businesses. Nishimura also stated that he “will not consider at all under the current emergency declaration” to relax the restrictions.
Nishimura believes that it is ideal to increase the vaccination rate to 80%, saying that “as much as possible to reach 75%, if it can reach 80%, the risk (infection, etc.) will be controlled to a large extent.”
New York City public school teachers can be exempted from vaccines due to illness or religion
On September 10, the independent arbitrator made a ruling: Teachers in New York City who cannot be vaccinated against COVID-19 due to illness or religious beliefs can be exempted from the vaccine, but their work place may be in a non-school place. The ruling also decided that public school teachers who refused to receive the COVID-19 vaccine must receive unpaid leave or severance pay.
New York Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on August 23 that all school staff must be vaccinated against COVID-19 at least once before September 27, and the city government is now making concessions. The arbitration was conducted between the New York City Board of Education and the United Teachers Union (UFT). The arbitration statement stated: Teacher union members can apply for exemptions for medical or religious reasons before September 20, and approved employees may be assigned to work in non-school building sites.
The chairman of the Federation of Teachers Union, Michael Mulgrew, said after the ruling: “As a group, teachers overwhelmingly support the vaccine, but there are also members who refuse to be vaccinated for physical or other reasons.”
“After we filed a request for independent arbitration, the city government abandoned its original position-that all people who have not been vaccinated will be removed from the payroll and will provide off-campus work for those who have medical certificates or other conditions.” UFT said employees who refuse unpaid leave as an option will receive severance pay, including salaries for unused sick leave and health insurance, until the end of the year.
Parents boycott the compulsory vaccination of students in the Second University District of the United States
On Thursday (September 9), the Board of Directors of the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) approved a proposal at a special meeting to force all eligible students in the school district to be fully vaccinated against the Chinese Communist virus (COVID-19). Can pass on campus. This injunction was resisted by parents.
According to the latest mandatory vaccination order passed by the Los Angeles Unified School District, all students 12 years of age and older in the school district must be fully vaccinated before January 10, 2022, except for those who have been granted an exemption. However, the board of directors did not specify the circumstances under which exemptions can be applied.
The mandatory vaccination order does not mention the consequences that students may face if they do not receive the vaccine within the specified time, but it is expected to be announced in the next few months.
But before the board meeting that day, dozens of parents gathered in the school district building and held up slogans such as “Don’t force our children to be vaccinated” to protest the school district’s mandatory vaccination order.
Many parents are also quite dissatisfied with the final voting results of the board of directors. Some parents said that they would consider removing some board members and plan to block the implementation of the mandatory vaccine order through litigation and other means.
Japanese Minister of Labor: Vaccines alone can no longer cope with the epidemic
Since the outbreak of the epidemic, governments of various countries have been pinning their hopes on vaccinating the whole people in order to form herd immunity to control the epidemic. However, recently, Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun” published an article pointing out that due to the transmission power of the Delta variant and the reduced vaccine effectiveness, even if everyone is vaccinated, herd immunity cannot be formed. Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (ie, the Minister of Health and the Minister of Labor) Norihisa Tamura stated that vaccines alone cannot cope with the epidemic.
Japan’s “Sankei Shimbun” published an article on September 5 stating that after the emergence of the Delta variant, herd immunity will not be achieved. The article further shows that if the Delta variant allows one patient to infect 5 people, and the protection of the vaccine drops to about 80%, then even if everyone is vaccinated, the spread of the virus will not be prevented.
Today, the United States, the United Kingdom, Israel and many other countries are vigorously promoting the third dose of vaccine. Salman Zarka, a new crown virus expert at the Israeli Ministry of Health, said that people should “prepare for the fourth dose of vaccine.”
Japan’s Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare (the Minister of Health and the Minister of Labor) Kenhisa Tamura confessed, “I don’t think that the current situation can be overcome by vaccine alone.” It is clear that vaccines are no longer the trump card for epidemic prevention and should not rely on this measure blindly.
Study: The death rate of unvaccinated children is lower than that of fully vaccinated adults
A recent study by the Department of Public Health of the United Kingdom showed that children who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19 have a lower risk of death after being infected with the Chinese Communist virus than adults of all age groups who have been fully vaccinated.
The Department of Public Health of the United Kingdom reported that in England, of the 167,832 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) infection in the past three weeks, 3 children under the age of 18 were tested for COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus). He died within 28 days after being positive. Data show that none of the three who died had been vaccinated before.
The report published on September 9 said that among other age groups, infected persons aged 18 to 29 and 30 to 39, even though they had been fully vaccinated with two doses before, died of the virus within 28 days after testing positive. The possibility is higher than this.
The Department of Public Health England believes that vaccines can still help prevent deaths after COVID-19 (Chinese Communist virus) infection, but it also emphasizes that no vaccine is 100% effective.
The Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunization in the United Kingdom recommends that children between 12 and 15 years of age should not be vaccinated. They also expressed that they are worried that more children may have vaccine-related side effects, which may be more negatively affected by COVID-19 (the Chinese Communist virus).
