HONG KONG - Almost 87 per cent of Hong Kongers who died from Covid-19 after getting at least one dose of vaccine received Sinovac Biotech Ltd's shot, Ming Pao reported, though most deaths occurred among those who weren't immunised.
The newspaper said it analysed data from the Hospital Authority involving 5,167 of the city's Covid-19 fatalities, without disclosing its sources or additional information. It found that 71 per cent of those who died were unvaccinated. Of the 1,486 who died after receiving at least one dose, 1,292 - or 87 per cent - had gotten Sinovac, Ming Pao reported.There have been more than 5,400 fatalities in the latest Omicron-driven outbreak, making the city's death per capita the world's highest.Two vaccines are available in the Asian financial hub.
The Sinovac shot has lower efficacy than that of the Biontech one, and offers limited protection against the Omicron variant, studies showed.The Chinese vaccine makes up 60 per cent of all of the doses administered to those aged 60 and above. Many experts, including University of Hong Kong professor and government advisor Yuen Kwok-yung, have said the elderly and children should get the BioNTech vaccine because of its superior protection against Omicron.
straits_times ST used to be a neutral paper.
straits_times It's normal. Vaccination doesn't mean you can't get it,
straits_times Well no shit
straits_times Straits times shouldn’t just reproduce a biased Bloomberg article. Western countries have more deaths. The US alone had 1 million deaths and none took sinovac
straits_times Really? What about this?
It's nothing serious, immunised who died .🤪
straits_times Because most of them who took sinovac are elderly. If you are old and have underlying medical conditions which most old people do, you have a higher chance to die whichever vaccine you take. So it's more important to make sure they don't get infected.
straits_times those who died in US and western countries also used sinovac
Alright, now what vaccines did those who died in the US take? Stop spreading vaccine hesitancy, you western stooge.
