Hong Kong, Singapore Lost Confidence in Covid Vaxxes Early in Campaign

As a former editor and active research author, I have learned during the pandemic that deep bias favoring COVID-19 vaccination is everywhere, particular in manuscripts accepted to JAMA

Recently a paper by Lun et al on vaccine acceptance in Hong Kong and Singapore caught my attention.

Their results were striking in the period of no mandates.

This was the only time when free-choice could be examined:

“In 2020, approximately two-thirds (65.3 percent[95 percent CI, 61.7-68.6 percent]) of adults in Hong Kong said they would be willing to vaccinate when a vaccine became available.

Vaccination willingness then increased to 73.4 percent(95 percent CI, 69.0-77.4 percent) of individuals, which coincided with positive results from COVID-19 vaccine trials and a local COVID-19 outbreak.

However, after the Hong Kong government announced that vaccines from Germany, Mainland China, and the UK were procured and that individuals could not choose which vaccine to receive (a decision that was reversed 12 days later), vaccination willingness dropped to 55.0 percent (95 percent CI, 51.3-58.6 percent) of individuals.

The launch of the vaccination program and a peak in media reports on adverse events following COVID-19 immunization (AEFIs) corresponded with a decline in vaccination willingness to its lowest level (43.6 percent [95 percent CI, 40.0-47.3 percent]).”

As with many JAMA papers, the real answers are buried in the Supplemental Materials.

As you can see, the leading reason accounting for vaccine refusal was concern over safety and this was early on in the campaign.

Lun P, Ning K, Wang Y, et al. COVID-19 Vaccination Willingness and Reasons for Vaccine Refusal. JAMA Netw Open. 2023;6(10):e2337909. doi:10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2023.37909

The point of this analysis is not to be distracted by political views or other factors, it is that the people of these two sophisticated cities knew early the vaccines were unsafe.

Therefore, later mandates forced people to take shots they knew could harm them.

No one knows what the sociological or political repercussions will be from these revelations.

    Just another McCullough article used to hit the “safe and effective” buzz-line.

    “the leading reason accounting for vaccine refusal was concern over safety and this was early on in the campaign.”

    He even put it in bold so it would stand out to you. McCullough is stuck on loop with his meaningless articles. Never a deep dive into the patents, or a mention of intellectual property rights over humans. Nope, just the same old circular crap pushing propaganda buzz-lines. Look up his articles, you’ll probably see a pattern.
