On November 17, then Minister of Health and Welfare said at the plenary meeting of the National Assembly’s Health and Welfare Committee, “the two companies (Pfizer and Modena) are also urging them to sign contracts as soon as expected, contrary to general expectations.” On the 9th, President Moon Jae-in said in a video conference for emergency inspection of the quarantine situation in the corona 19 metropolitan area, “finally the end of a long tunnel with vaccines and treatments will be seen.”
But the tunnel was the beginning, not the end. On the 12th, three days after President Moon’s remarks, the number of confirmed cases of the novel coronavirus infection (Corona 19) surpassed 1,000 for the first time. With the full-scale 3rd trend, social distancing was further strengthened, and private gatherings with more than 5 people were banned. In addition, the government has introduced a reward system that monitors and reports each other. It is questionable what the government did while the people sacrificed like this.
Pfizer, Moder or “not safe” created public anxiety…
Beginning with the UK in early December, several countries including the United States, Canada, and the European Union (EU) have begun vaccination. Singapore started vaccination for the first time in Asia on the 30th.
Pfizer and Modena, who started vaccinating them, are known to have 95% immune effects. The government said, “These vaccines are better suited for safety reasons later.” So, is the AstraZeneca secured by our government first? AstraZeneca’s immune effect is 75%. In addition, phase 3 clinical trials have not yet been passed in the US, and it is unclear when US and EU approvals that are recognized for authority will be issued. The government says that these vaccines will be vaccinated from February to March next year.
The US FDA is only the FDA, and in the case of Korea, is it possible to follow the decision process by the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety? Not at all, never, never. The problem is that a vaccine with a better immune effect makes people uneasy as if there is a problem, and a vaccine that has not been approved by the highest authority has been devised from the vaccination plan. Since there is only this vaccine I have obtained, it can be seen as if you want to do the vaccination first. As a result, on the 16th, in the’Corona Public Awareness Survey’ conducted by the Seoul National University Graduate School of Health Research, 55.8% of respondents answered that’I am afraid that the corona vaccination will be promptly promoted without securing safety’. Like last fall’s flu vaccination, there may be another vaccination avoidance.
The government is more’K quarantine’ than vaccine
The true game changer of infectious diseases is’vaccines’. However, the government has been eager for K quarantine this year and has been at ease. It also paid 800 million won to promote K quarantine to Southeast Asian countries. It boasted K quarantine in Singapore, which received Pfizer vaccine before us, and Thailand and Vietnam, with fewer than ten confirmed cases a day.
Singapore’s Prime Minister Li Xianlong said in a TV talk a while ago, “From the early days of the pandemic, the government tried to secure vaccines quietly under water. We constantly talked with promising companies among 200 vaccine developers, and invested $1 billion to secure the vaccine. I said. Israel mobilized the intelligence agency Mossad to get the vaccine, and by the 28th, Israeli vaccinations per 100 people were ranked first in the world with 5.86 people.
What would it have been like if President Moon did all his power to secure a vaccine under water when shouting K quarantine? A true leader would not only sit back and make a good sound, but sacrifice and lead the way in a crisis situation.
