[Reporter Lin Huiqin/Taipei Report] Li Bingying, the convener of the Vaccination Group (ACIP) of the Ministry of Health and Welfare's Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Advisory Committee, said in an interview with the radio program "News Firecrackers" today that she believes that the new crown will become a cold, not just a flu. Therefore, in the future, unlike influenza, there will be a major mutation every 2 or 3 years. There is no need to vaccinate every year. The continued development of domestic vaccines "may not be of great value". The most important thing is to "return its innocence."

Li Bingying pointed out that the current high-end vaccines are stuck there and there is no progress. There are data for 12 to 17 years old but they are not recognized. The next-generation vaccines are relatively slow. In addition, everyone has been giving negative comments. There should be no new progress recently, which is a pity. matter.

However, Li Bingying believes that the mutated new coronavirus has been appearing, but the death rate continues to decrease, and it will become lighter and lighter. It was declared over in a short period of time, because 200 to 300 people die from the flu every year, and now 20 to 30 people die from the new crown every day. The death threat is higher than that of the flu. It has not yet reached the level of flu, let alone a cold. It is hard to say what will happen in the future Sample.

However, Li Bingying also mentioned that except for influenza, viruses of other respiratory infectious diseases do not have the ability to greatly mutate genes. Otherwise, in terms of biological characteristics, 99.9% of the new waves of large-scale epidemics will not break out.

In this way, is it necessary for domestic vaccines to continue to develop new crown vaccines?

Li Bingying believes that "it may not be of great value", and the most important thing is to "sure the vaccine and return it to a clean slate", unless the new crown becomes a flu instead of a cold, that is, a major mutation occurs every 2 or 3 years, research and development It makes sense, but I don't think that's the case. Even people who haven't been vaccinated will get infected and gradually become immune in the past few years.

As for Moderna’s cooperation with Taiwan in the development of mRNA influenza vaccines, Li Bingying believes that the current global influenza vaccines are protein vaccines, including the use of eggs, cells, or genetic recombination, but they are all protein vaccines. There is added value, there is room for discussion, is there an advantage?

Do I need to use instead?

This is a big problem.

The host, Zhou Yukou, also directly called out that the Kuomintang hastened to scold people. This cooperation has no gold content for Taiwan's biotechnology industry, and Modena is still making money, just because it is cheaper to cooperate with Taiwan.

However, Li Bingying is happy to see the cooperation between the two parties, because all vaccines and drugs that want to enter Taiwan will hope to have data from Taiwan and increase the experience of clinical trials in Taiwan.
