奥地利总理沙伦伯格:疫苗是摆脱新冠疫情的"逃生票"。

U.S. to spend billions on vaccines

The White House, under pressure to increase the supply of Covid vaccines to poor nations, plans to invest billions of dollars to expand manufacturing capacity.

The U.S. seeks to produce at least one billion doses a year beginning in the second half of 2022, part of a broad plan to address vaccine needs overseas and domestically and prepare for future pandemics.

The money was set aside as part of the $1.9 trillion pandemic relief package from March. W.H.O. officials and other experts have criticized the U.S. for rolling out boosters before many people in lower-income countries have gotten their first doses.

It comes as the administration also plans to spend $5 billion on Pfizer’s new Covid pill and billions more on rapid over-the-counter tests, to build a multifaceted treatment framework.

美國將在疫苗上花費數十億美元
白宮面臨著增加對貧窮國家的 Covid 疫苗供應的壓力,計劃投資數十億美元來擴大生產能力。

美國計劃從 2022 年下半年開始,每年至少生產 10 億劑疫苗,這是解決國內外疫苗需求並為未來大流行做好準備的廣泛計劃的一部分。

從 3 月份開始,這筆錢是 1.9 萬億美元大流行救助計劃的一部分。 WHO。 官員和其他專家批評美國在低收入國家的許多人接種第一劑之前就推出了助推器。

與此同時,政府還計劃在輝瑞的新 Covid 藥片上花費 50 億美元,並在快速的非處方測試上花費數十億美元,以建立一個多方面的治療框架。google

Austria's surge in infections means 20% of intensive-care beds are currently occupied by covid patients. The country has one of western Europe’s lowest vaccination rates: just 72.1% among those over 12 have two doses

奧地利感染人數激增意味著目前有 20% 的重症監護病床被新冠患者佔用。 該國是西歐疫苗接種率最低的國家之一:在 12 歲以上的人群中,只有 72.1% 的人接種了兩次疫苗 google




Possible side effect of COVID rules: incomplete death counts
“When governments ask citizens to make sacrifices,” says Business School researcher, “they’re inclined to overstate the positive effects of those sacrifices.”
COVID規則的可能副作用:死亡人數不完整 “當政府要求公民做出犧牲時,”商學院研究員說,“他們傾向於誇大這些犧牲的積極影響。”


To explain the wide variation in underreporting, the researchers speculated that countries with more stringent mitigation policies, such as those requiring masks and social distancing, would see higher rates of underreporting. “More stringent policies might put public pressure on politicians to underreport deaths, just to show that their policies are working,” says Kobilov.

"IF THE NUMBERS AREN’T ACCURATE, THEN WE CAN’T ACCURATELY IDENTIFY WHAT MITIGATION EFFORTS ARE BEST."

為了解釋漏報的巨大差異,研究人員推測,那些採取更嚴格緩解政策的國家,例如要求戴口罩和保持社交距離的國家,漏報率會更高。 “更嚴格的政策可能會向政客施加公眾壓力,要求他們少報死亡人數,只是為了表明他們的政策正在奏效,”科比洛夫說。


“如果數字不准確,那麼我們就無法準確地確定最好的緩解措施。”
