Prevent Pfizer Vaccines from launching mRNA vaccine research and development work
Although the efficacy of inactivated vaccines in China has been questioned, Pfizer-BioNTech’s mRNA vaccines are still blocked by the CCP’s approval process and cannot be used in mainland China. At the same time, the state-owned Sinopharm Group (Sinopharm) announced that it will develop an mRNA vaccine.
On September 6, the state-owned China Business News stated that Sinopharm Group Co., Ltd. (Sinopharm) has begun to develop an mRNA vaccine and is expected to launch it next year. Sinopharm Group is the only central enterprise directly under the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission that focuses on life and health.
Chinese authorities have been resisting mRNA technology when they are studying the new coronavirus (CCV) vaccine. “China has chosen a safe and mature inactivated vaccine route, and the mRNA vaccine route is immature, and there may be safety risks.” Party media mouthpiece Xinhua News Agency said on December 29, 2020.
However, based on its actual efficacy, “China’s domestic vaccine has little effect.” An anonymous Chinese lawyer told The Epoch Times that the latest round of the epidemic broke out at Nanjing Airport. Among the 37 people infected, Thirty-six people received two doses of domestic vaccines.
Two vaccine manufacturers in China, the state-owned Sinopharm Group and the privately-owned Sinovac, rely on inactivated vaccine technology.
Gao Fu, director of the Chinese Communist Party’s Center for Disease Control and Prevention, admitted: “The current domestic vaccines have very low protection against COVID-19 (the disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus).”
“Now we are considering whether we should use different vaccines with different technical routes for immunization.” Gao Fu revealed at a conference in Chengdu, Sichuan Province on April 10.
Gao Fu also praised the benefits of mRNA vaccines. According to the Associated Press, the technology behind Pfizer-Biotech and Moderna’s vaccines is considered the most effective.
The White House: Biden will be vaccinated after the supplementary dose is popularized
White House Spokesperson Jen Psaki said on Friday that President Biden will soon be given a third dose of the COVID-19 vaccine, but will wait until the booster supplies are available.
On Friday, Psaki said at a White House press conference that Biden will soon put the booster, but she emphasized, “We will wait until the booster becomes popular, and it is expected that this will be very soon.”
Biden, 78, received the first dose of Pfizer vaccine with his first lady Jill in December last year, when the United States had just promoted the vaccination operation. The second vaccination was in January this year. According to the Biden administration’s recommendations, there must be at least eight months between the second and third doses.
The plan of the United States and other countries to give the third dose has been criticized by some international health organizations.
They called on rich countries to postpone the third dose when there are still many countries with insufficient vaccines. However, US health officials vigorously defended this. They pointed out that the United States is the country that has donated the most vaccines in the world, and the number is more than the sum of other countries’ donations.
Ministry of Health: Italy has 57 new coronavirus deaths and 5,193 infections
Since the start of the pandemic in February last year (2020), Italy has registered 129,885 deaths related to Covid-19 (the disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus), which is second only to the United Kingdom in Europe.
According to Reuters, the country has reported 4.6 million cases so far.
On Saturday (September 11), the number of hospitalized patients (excluding patients in the intensive care unit) of the country’s coronavirus (CCV) was 4,117, down from 4,164 the day before.
At the same time, there were 40 new intensive care patients in the country, up from 37 on Friday. Reuters reported that the total number of intensive care patients was 547, up from 548 previously.
The ministry said that in the past 24 hours, about 333,741 Covid-19 (disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus) tests were conducted, compared with 286,028 tests before.
46 new Covid-19 deaths in France
Reuters reported that 46 people in France died in hospitals due to Covid-19 (a disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus), and 2,131 infected patients are in intensive care.
In Russia, 18,891 new infections and 796 deaths

Former Australian Prime Minister fined for not wearing a mask
Former Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott was fined US$500 (£266) for allegedly violating the country’s coronavirus (CCP virus) restrictions.
He was photographed by a public in Manly, Sydney this week, and the photos showed that he did not appear to be wearing a mask.
According to a report by the Sydney Morning Herald, Abbott said his actions were “fully within the scope of the law and have reasonable explanations”, but he didn’t want to challenge the police ticket and waste time.
But he added that the sooner Australia puts aside what he calls “health police-national thinking”, the better.
Japan may get the third dose of vaccine before the end of the year
Japanese officials will start discussing whether to launch a booster vaccine next week, and it is possible to give a third dose before the end of the year.
The Japan Times quoted a source as saying that health experts from the government’s vaccine subcommittee will analyze the problem and evaluate plans for mixing vaccine doses produced by different manufacturers. The country uses three vaccines, namely Pfizer, Moderna and AstraZeneca.
In total, 61.9% of the Japanese population has received at least one dose of the Covid-19 (disease caused by the Chinese Communist virus) vaccine, while 49.8% have received two doses.
US CDC: Death rate is 11 times higher after infection without vaccinations
New research in the United States shows that even in the face of the highly contagious Delta variant, the COVID-19 vaccine is still very effective in preventing hospitalization and death.
According to the Associated Press, a study tracked more than 600,000 cases in 13 U.S. states from April to mid-July.
It was found that as the Delta epidemic heats up in the summer, those who have not been vaccinated are 4.5 times more likely to be infected than those who are fully vaccinated, more than 10 times more likely to be hospitalized, and 11 times more likely to die.
“Vaccinations are effective,” said Rochelle Walensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). “The point is that we have the necessary scientific tools to reverse the pandemic.”
However, as previous data shows, the protection of vaccines is declining. The study found that the protection rate was 91% in spring, but 78% in June and July.
In June and July, “breakthrough infection” cases accounted for 14% of hospitalizations and 16% of deaths, roughly double the number at the beginning of this year.
Valensky said that far more than 90% of patients in American hospitals have not been vaccinated.
The CDC also released two other studies, suggesting that the protective effect of vaccines on the elderly is diminishing.
A study surveyed COVID-19 hospitalized patients in 9 states during the summer and found that the protection rate for people aged 75 and over was 76%, while the protection rate for all other adults was 89%.
In the five Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, the protection rate for hospitalization is 95% for those aged 18 to 64 years old after being vaccinated, and only 80% for those over 65 years old.
Next week, U.S. FDA consultants will openly debate Pfizer’s application for the third booster.
26,603 confirmed cases in the Philippines hit a new high
The Philippines once again set the highest record of daily cases. Authorities notified 26,303 confirmed cases on Saturday, bringing the total number of infections in the country to 2,206,021.
Authorities said that of this number, 185,706 were active cases, accounting for 8.4% of the total.
At the same time, 79 people died in the country on Saturday, bringing the total number of deaths to 34,978.
Currently, the Philippines is dealing with the highly contagious Delta variant, which has weakened the healthcare systems of other Southeast Asian countries such as Indonesia, Thailand, and Malaysia.
The Ministry of Health said in an announcement on Saturday that out of 75,688 tests, the positive rate was 27.6%.
Novavax: Provide at least 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine in 2022
US pharmaceutical company Novavax (Novavax) said that in 2022 the company can provide at least 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine.
Previously, Novavax announced in June that the effective rate of its vaccine in a late-stage clinical trial in the United States was more than 90%, and stated that it would apply to the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for emergency use authorization in the fourth quarter.
In a speech at a medical conference, Novavax reiterated that by the end of the third quarter of this year, the company will be able to produce about 100 million doses of vaccine per month, and by the fourth quarter, the monthly output can be further increased to 150 million doses.
BNT: Good clinical trial of children’s vaccine or launch in October
The German pharmaceutical company BioNTech stated that the clinical trial results of the COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years are good, and it will apply for permission from various countries in the next few weeks, and it is expected to be on the market in October.
According to the German “Der Spiegel” (Der Spiegel) report, BioNTech said that this vaccine is basically the same as the adult vaccine, but the dose is relatively small. Baked.
In response to the shortage of vaccines, BioNTech said that various pharmaceutical companies have overcome production problems, and Europe alone will reach a monthly output of 500 million doses next year, and there will be enough vaccines for the world to vaccinate in 2022.
BioNTech added that the company can produce 3 billion doses this year, and if there is demand in the market next year, it can produce 4 to 5 billion doses.
The company also mentioned that there will be multiple reports in the coming weeks to prove the importance of the third dose of booster.
According to Reuters, two sources said that US health officials believe that Pfizer vaccine may be approved for use in children aged 5 to 11 by the end of October.
Johnson: Britain must prepare for the winter pandemic
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson warned that Britain will face an “uncertain” winter and the government must fully prepare for a new wave of pandemics. He is going to announce a plan to prevent schools and bars from closing again.
Johnson expects that this plan will be announced next Tuesday to avoid a complete national lockdown, including simultaneous large-scale injections of boosters and flu vaccines.
He said that these measures include some national restrictions, such as social distancing or wearing masks. Once the number of cases and the number of hospitalizations increases and the medical system is overwhelmed, these measures will take effect.
Government sources said that they believe that in the first stage, only the elderly and vulnerable people are recommended to use the booster, but if experts recommend that people of other age groups be given the third dose widely, the health unit will also be prepared.
Johnson announced that a Covid passport will be introduced, and you must hold a passport to enter crowded places such as nightclubs.
