The Hong Kong Government was indecisive on BioNTech vaccination, and over a thousand citizens still received the related vaccine in the morning of the vaccine ban.

Taiwan says China blocked deal with BioNTech for COVID-19 shots
 
Taiwan directly accused China for the first time on Wednesday of blocking a deal with Germany's BioNTech SE (22UAy.DE) for COVID-19 vaccines, in an escalating war of words after Beijing offered the shots to the island via a Chinese company.

Taiwan has millions of shots on order, from AstraZeneca Plc (AZN.L) and Moderna Inc (MRNA.O), but has received only slightly more than 700,000 to date, and has only been able to vaccinate about 1% of its population as COVID-19 cases surge.

While Taiwan has previously said it had been unable to sign a final contract with BioNTech, it had only implied that Chinese pressure was to blame

Countries Signal Doubts About Delta Protection From Chinese Vaccine

Thailand became the latest country to signal waning confidence in a Chinese vaccine against the highly contagious Delta variant, saying it would offer booster shots of Western doses to healthcare workers.

Healthcare workers who received two doses of the vaccine developed by Sinovac Biotech Ltd. would be given a third shot made by either Pfizer Inc. and BioNTech SE or AstraZeneca PLC, Thailand’s health ministry said Monday. Those who had only one dose would receive AstraZeneca as their second.

The decision to mix the vaccines makes Thailand the latest country to show reservations about whether Chinese vaccines work well enough to protect medical workers against the Delta variant, which was first detected in India and is thought to be far more contagious than earlier versions of the virus. The strain has spread to at least 98 countries.

Ex-legislator finds significantly lower mortality rate in 5th wave of COVID-19 outbreak in HK, questioning government's ever stricter control measures

Perry Chan Pui-yin, former pro-democracy legislator representing the sector of medical doctors in Hong Kong compiled and tabulated the number of deaths in connection to COVID19 since 2020.

Chan concluded that among the total number of 40,700 confirmed cases in the 5 waves of COVID19 outbreaks, 259 patients passed away, equivalent to a mortality rate of 0.64%.

However, in the 5th wave alone, 46 died among the 28,069 confirmed cases as at February 18. That is to say, the morality rate has reduced significantly to only 0.16%.

Its worth noting that delay factors should be considered alongside with mortality rate during an outbreak, as it could take as long as 2-3 weeks to record a related death.

Among the 46 death cases recorded during 5th wave of COVID-19 outbreak, 40 of them had not vaccinated, 3 others had 2 doses of Sinovac vaccinations, 1 had 1 dose of Sinovac vaccination while the remaining 1 had two jabs of BionTech vaccinations.

Chan stressed that these data should be read in relation to the patients' age and background in order to avoid a biased conclusion.
