Hong Kong Recommending a 5th Dose (3rd Booster) for Its Residents. No 1st Booster Vaccine = No Green QR Pass = Work/ School Only, Limited Public Space Access.
Hong Kong is again pushing additional booster doses as cases and death rise. All-cause mortality, August data, is sitting at 5.89% and seems to be rising! The vaccines are working however they work!
While the Australian Government which has recommended against a 5th dose for their population, the Hong Kong government has just announced that Hong Kong citizens can avail a 5th dose of Covid-19 Vaccine by next Friday. Residents may choose from Pfizer BioNTech, Sinovac or the new BioNTech Bivalent.
The article goes on to explain that 83% of Hong Kong residents have already received a 3rd booster, but less than 10% have received a 4th dose. Given that the QR code system in Hong Kong requires 3 doses to enable access to restaurants and public spaces, many people in Hong Kong really feel they have no choice but to accept the jabs.
A person who has only received two doses will have an amber code.
There is the controversial situation where unvaccinated visitors to Hong Kong can access restaurants after 3 days of quarantine (with daily negative tests), but Hong Kong residents without a 1st booster cannot, regardless of their negative test status.
Hong Kong Government presents its own data showing that almost all severe cases and deaths are in the unvaccinated, and further, that the more doses received the better is the protection.
Here is Hong Kong’s current vaccination status. 267.4 doses / 100 population; 92.16% have had 1 dose, 90.43% with completed initial protocol, and 84.84 boosters / 100 population.
Here is Hong Kong’s current infection and death status. It sure looks like the vaccines are working like they are working! Not sure that they have impacted covid-19 cases and deaths at all. These both seem to be rising, irrespective of the very high vaccine uptake rates.
The latest all-cause mortality data is released as of August 2022 and is also again moving upwards. It was expected that there would be a compensatory drop in deaths after such a high peak of 168% in March of 2022. Of course, no conclusions of causality are allowed to be assumed.
Curious that the spike in excess deaths in March 2022 exactly matches the spike in covid-19 vaccine dosing in that same month.
Draw your own conclusions!
I haven’t yet heard of SADs Cases in Hong Kong, though I have already heard though my network there, of multiple unexpected deaths attributed to various underlying causes, rather than the recently received jabs.
I am very concerned for the future of Hong Kong, and the probable massive wave of SADs and disability cases that may be in its near future if it follows worldwide patterns, surely compounding its already critical labor shortages. Every additional dose will increase the burden of harm!
There are many people I care about living in Hong Kong! Most are fully supportive of Hong Kong Government Measures and the Vaccination Program. I was told to be quiet! Not to raise the topic with them!
Perhaps I need to find a Hong Kong whistle blower substacker! Please refer me if you know anyone, my readers.
A very glaring statistic is the median age of death. 86! So you can clearly see that they are trying to claim that nearly ALL those unvaccinated and 1 dose only deaths are occuring in extremely old people. It xoesnt make sense that so many old people are making up the unvaccinated proportion of deaths. This is how they do it! They attribute old, unvaccinated people as dying from Covid, when in reality they died of something else, while the old, vaccinated people they attribute as dying from another comorbidity. Same trick used in NZ. We are supposed to believe that all these old people are rabid antivaxxers who are getting their just desserts. In reality, they died of something else, or were so immuno compromised that they couldn't tolerate the jabs.
Note also they are hiding the trend, by using cumulative data. I would suggest that if you saw the weekly data of vaccination status of Covid deaths, or ACM, you would see a deteriorating trend for the vaccinated.
A very similar pattern to New Zealand. In both countries there were very few cases and deaths until the Omicron wave of early 2022. This was the first time the vaccine was seriously challenged. Then there is a huge wave of cases and deaths. But I NZ, 70 to 90 % of all deaths were in the vaccinated, trending higher as the 2022 year has progressed. It's been 93% over the past 2-weeks, so I'm not sure the data from HK is accurate. And like NZ, we are not allowed to see the vaccination status of All Cause Deaths. I wonder why?
