淡马亚:冠病疫苗内不含活病毒 误打五剂未必造成伤害

淡马亚:冠病疫苗内不含活病毒     误打五剂未必造成伤害

日前,新加坡全国眼科中心日前为职员进行冠病疫苗接种,其中一名职员被错误打了五剂疫苗。

针对全国眼科中心为职员误打了五剂疫苗事件,身为传染病学亚太学会会长的淡马亚教授,也分析,与水痘疫苗不同的是,冠病疫苗内并不含活病毒,在mRNA的疫苗中仅有蛋白质。

他在线上问答论坛“Ask Paul Anything”,针对网友的提问答复。他表示,在第一阶段和第二阶段的辉瑞临床试验中,也有30毫克和50毫克,因此100毫克也不太可能造成太大伤害。

但他也不建议打超过剂量疫苗,也敦促当局若向社区推出接种计划,应减少这类误打剂量的失误发生。

新加坡有没有生产冠病疫苗的公司?淡马亚指出目前并没有,他坦言这可能让民众感到困惑,但他认为,国人应该跳脱出“政府有所有答案”的思维;再者,实则不少我国专才,都有参与冠病疫苗研发的工作。

应劝请老年人接种疫苗

此外,民众也对于疫苗的效果进行提问,尤其是对老年人的用处,因为目前老人对疫苗的反应并不如年轻人热烈。

淡马亚则表示,根据他的经验之谈,疫苗对老年人有很大的帮助,为了避免潜在危机,淡马亚也呼吁老年人应该接种疫苗,以保护老人家。

他接着解释,如果有人身体内已经染疫,其病毒抗体将维持将近三至六个月,且与沙斯(SARS)相比沙斯的症状更为明显,因为沙斯在第二周感染时,就可能已经病的很严重,但冠状病毒更为狡猾,甚至在未出现任何症状时已经可能获得感染了。

目前我国的疫苗品种仅有辉瑞疫苗,而莫德纳疫苗则预计将在三月份抵达。

与疫苗相关问题:改变基因、对于Ct值的疑问

有观众提问有关mRNA病毒是否会改变一个人的基因问题,淡马亚则提及,要改变基因的过程涉及了上游过程,而疫苗是下游过程,因此这完全反驳了基因改变的说法,且mRNA不含任何动物产品和酒精。

至于有关病毒是否会从无症状者传播,他则表示,无症状的人传播的可能性较低,因为他们既不会咳嗽或打喷嚏,但这也不能完全证实无症状者不会有传播的危险。

观众也对于聚合酶连锁反应(PCR)中Ct值好奇,对此,淡马亚表示,新加坡如今正遵循世界卫生组织的标准,若高于40将不会被视为传染性案例,但若低于30,将视为传染性案例。Ct数值越低,样本中病毒遗传物质的数量越高。

新加坡仰赖外籍专才和劳动力

对于新加坡为何不关闭边境,制止入境病例输入,淡马亚则推断,由于我国非常依赖外籍人士,无论是高端人才(就业证)或低端人才(工作准证)。在高端市场则填补了教育制度的空白,而我国也沉迷于依赖没有最低工资的廉价客工。

对此,淡马亚则认为,人们不应该一味认为政府拥有所有解决方案,新加坡更需要有创造力的人,自由地为政府提出相关解决方案。
