韩国庆尚南道昌原某医院精神科病房两天内确诊新冠肺炎患者达117人。
据昌原市29日透露，昌原某医院精神科病房28日出现首例确诊患者。此前，在前一天(27日)实施的高风险场所预防性检查后，第二天便有3名病房相关人员确诊。
经过追加检查，29日又有114人被确诊为阳性。据悉，此次确诊的117人中有110人为医院患者，另外7人为医院员工。
据悉，此次确诊人员均已在今年5~6月份左右接种完疫苗第二针，因此昌源市政府认为这实际上相当于全员突破性感染。
昌原市从前一天(28日)开始隔离相关病房，加强周边防疫工作。
昌源市相关人士解释说，“确诊患者中虽然包括上下班的职员，但是定期接受检查，而且大部分患者都是住院患者，因此造成社区传播的可能性不大”，”正在对感染途径等进行调查”。
“相信政府打了疫苗，出事后谁也不管”，韩疫苗受害者家属集体声讨

“政府承诺有异常反应会负责到底，女儿接种过疫苗后死亡，两个月后政府却告知无法认定女儿死亡和接种疫苗之间存在因果关系，要提起异议也因为没有尸检意见书而无从着手”。10月7日，在韩国国会保健福祉委员会针对保健福祉部和疾病管理厅进行的国政监察会上，以证人身份出席会议的李南勋(音)如是说。这场国政监察会邀请接种新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)疫苗后出现异常反应的受害者及家属出席，朝野一致敦促政府在异常反应受害者补偿问题上表现得更加积极。
受害者及家属普遍表示，政府对异常反应的审核结果令人无法接受。以证人身份与会的李南勋表示，22岁的女儿今年7月26日接种莫德纳疫苗，五天后出现血栓症，12天后不幸死亡。当时防疫当局在接到异常反应病例报告后曾委托疾病厅进行血小板减少性血栓症(TTS)检查，但被告知该病例不属于此类异常反应对象。
李某说，“流行病学调查员认为女儿死亡和接种疫苗存在因果关系，但审查结果却是4-2(相比接种疫苗，其他原因导致死亡的可能性更大)”。李某称，由于之前未预料到这样的结果，已经提前给女儿举行葬礼，“现在已经无法出具尸检意见书，提起异议的渠道被阻”，“之前没有任何人告知我们这样的行政程序”。
父亲在接种辉瑞疫苗后一天因为心脏停止跳动不幸死亡的安玄俊(音)也表示，“希望当局能够出具证明(接种和死亡)没有因果关系的依据”。他表示，“制药公司不是已经得到免责权，可以不用为疫苗的副作用负责吗”，“真不知道政府为什么会说这些病例和接种疫苗没有因果关系”。
郑银敬疾病厅长表示，“所有制药公司在同一个国家都会按照同样的标准要求(免责权)。在我国，(出现异常反应时)首先由国家负责”。对此，安某表示“希望政府公开目前都对多少人采取了什么应对措施”。
还有人指出，异常反应申报程序需要受害者亲自去申请，也是一大问题。金根河(音)在今年3月接种阿斯利康(AZ)疫苗后确诊为再生不良性贫血，并进行了骨髓移植。正与疾病作斗争的金某艰难出席这场会议，表示“申报和赔偿程序太复杂了，而且需要患者及家属亲自去办”。
国政监察会上还不断响起受害者家属的哭泣声。李玄熙(音)说，“就因为总统要求高风险人群和患有基础疾病的人员首先接种，我那75岁患有糖尿病和高血压等疾病的妈妈才率先接种了疫苗，结果引起吉兰-巴雷综合征”。她表示，“治疗费用我们已无力承担，希望总统和疾病厅不要忘记自己对全体国民做出的承诺”。
新冠肺炎疫苗受害者家属协议会要求各地方政府成立专门的呼叫中心、指定专门接诊异常反应患者的公共医院、允许受害者家属参与地方政府针对受害者进行的调查审查。
国民之力党议员白宗宪当日表示，“根据疾病厅的统计，目前共接到1586起接种新冠肺炎疫苗后死亡和重症反应报告，其中仅7例被认定存在因果关系”，“政府的做法太封闭了”。
共同民主党议员金民锡(国会保健福祉委员会委员长)也表示，“应当首先采取措施，对此类人员进行治疗，从患者角度出发制定应对方案”。保健福祉部部长权德喆对此表示，“将改进政府应对过程中的错误做法，制定支持方案”。
韩国爆多起年轻人接种辉瑞疫苗后猝死 引大众担忧

韩国中央日报报导，韩国19日开始为年轻人接种新冠疫苗，之后却惊传多起20多岁年轻人接种辉瑞（Pfizer）疫苗后猝死案例，引发大众担忧。
韩国警方23日指出，忠清南道公州一名21岁女大生16日接种首剂辉瑞疫苗，没有发生任何显著副作用，却在23日下午被发现陈尸租屋处。女大生家属指出，她没有任何已知潜在疾病，当时和朋友一起读书至深夜，监视器有拍到女大生猝逝当天凌晨有去便利商店。
女大生遗体被发现时，身上有紫色斑点。目前女大生家属和警方已要求韩国国家法医中心进行尸体解剖，已查明死因。
韩国其他地区也有发生类似案例。一名20多岁近30岁男子在济州岛2日接种首剂辉瑞疫苗，出现胸痛。这是常见的副作用症状，男子于22日就医，但之后因症状恶化过世。他也没有任何潜在疾病。此外，一名25岁健康邮务人员则是接种第二剂辉瑞疫苗后，于10日去世，前后仅过3天。
梨花女子大学木洞医院教授全恩美（音译）表示：“对20多岁的年轻人而言，疫苗产生的副作用大多不会致死。但政府必须检查并公布死因，缓解大众焦虑。”
中央日报也呼吁韩国政府，厘清并公布死因后也要为每种副作用案例提供医学检查方法。

Young people’s deaths after Pfizer vaccines are new worry
BY SEO JI-EUN
8/29/2021
Deaths following vaccine jabs among people in their 20s continue to be reported in Korea, adding fresh concerns as inoculations for younger people start Thursday.
A 21-year-old female college student diedone week after getting her first dose of Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine in Gongju, South Chungcheong on Monday, according to police reports. She had no known underlying medical condition, her family said.
According to local police, the woman received her first dose of the Pfizer vaccine on Aug. 16 and apparently had no particular side effects. According to her family, she studied until late at night with friends, and was captured on CCTV going to a convenience store at 2 a.m. on the day of her death.
She was found dead in her residence around 2:25 p.m. Monday by the house owner, who received a call from her parents saying she was not answering their phone calls.
She had purple spots on her body when she was found, and the family and the police requested an autopsy from the National Forensic Service to find the cause of death.
“My younger sister was preparing for the teacher certification exam so our family always worried about her health, and continuously contacted her every few hours and checked her condition after she got her vaccine,” a petitioner who claimed to be her sibling wrote in a petition on the Blue House website on Monday.
“There were no signs of worries or stress [in the posts] on her blog that indicated she was planning to take her own life,” the petitioner wrote. “Also, the testimonies of relatives and the family’s opinion agree that this is not a suicide case at all, and that she had been very healthy.”
Similar post-vaccination deaths of the young have been reported in the country.
A man in his late 20s died Sunday, 20 days after receiving a Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine in Jeju.
The man received his first dose on Aug. 2. He complained of chest pain, a common post-vaccine symptom, and visited a hospital on Aug. 22 but died after symptoms worsened.
Working at an airport in Jeju, he was given priority status in the vaccination scheme and received the shot in early August, a health official at the Jeju Provincial Government told the Korea JoongAng Daily.
“He was known to have no underlying diseases,” the official said, yet he wondered whether a causal connection between the vaccine and his death will be acknowledged because of the 20 days that elapsed.
A healthy young mailman, who was 25-year-old, was found dead on Aug. 10, three days following his second Pfizer jab.
After getting the second dose of the vaccine, the man complained of muscle pain. His mother tried to wake him up for work around 5 a.m. on Aug. 10, but was dead.
An online user who claimed to be his sister posted a petition to the Blue House. She wrote, “My younger brother had a medical checkup in July around the time he got his first Pfizer shot, and except for slightly elevated levels of liver enzymes, [the results showed] he was very healthy.
“My family can’t help but raise suspicions that the vaccine is the cause of death, as he died three days after his second Pfizer shot,” the petitioner added.
According to his family, a first autopsy failed to ascertain the cause of death, and they were told that further results will come out one to two months later through an investigation by the KDCA and the National Forensic Service.
Relatives of the deceased worry that the government will not acknowledge that the deaths were caused by Covid-19 vaccines.
Currently, Korea only acknowledges three types of symptoms as post-vaccination side effects: anaphylaxis, or severe allergic reaction; unusual blood clots with low blood platelets termed thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS, that can be caused by a viral vector vaccine like AstraZeneca or Janssen; and inflammation of the heart or its lining called myocarditis and pericarditis that can be reported after mRNA vaccines like Pfizer or Moderna.
As of Monday, the KDCA received 492 reports of fatalities after vaccinations — and only two cases have been officially acknowledged as vaccine-caused deaths.
Korea’s Covid-19 Vaccination Damage Investigation Team acknowledged a man in his 30s died due to TTS related to his AstraZeneca inoculation, and a Pfizer recipient in his 20s died due to myocarditis.
“My family is still waiting for additional results from the autopsy, but a lot of people are telling us that the government will say there was no causality,” the family of the mailman wrote. “If we cannot trust the government in this war-like situation, what and who can we rely on?”
Korea will start offering Covid-19 vaccinations to the general public aged 18 to 49 this Thursday, either Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccine depending on the vaccine supply schedule.
“We advise you not to feel pressured or scared by [vaccine side effects] as the benefits of Covid-19 vaccines outweigh the risks,” Cho Eun-hee, an official from the Covid-19 Vaccination Damage Investigation Team said Tuesday.
As concerns are growing among young people, experts say the government should clarify the exact cause of death and present the medical examination method for each side effect cases.
“For people in their 20s, side effects from vaccines mostly don’t lead to death,” said Dr. Chun Eun-mi, a professor of respiratory medicine at Ewha Womans University Mokdong Hospital. “But the cause of deaths must be examined and announced to allay the public anxiety.”
“In a situation where the government is asking people to get vaccinated,” said Dr. Kim Woo-joo, a professor of infectious diseases at Korea University Guro Hospital, “individuals cannot check the safety of each vaccine. The government must inform the medical staff and the public of the safety information and how to receive treatment for any symptoms.”
Experts advise heart patients or people with family histories of heart disease to get a checkup before getting the vaccine. People who develop chest pain, fever or shortness of breath within a week after vaccination should immediately visit a hospital.
Chun also recommended young people get tested for Covid-19 with a home testing kit on the day of getting their vaccines.
“As there are many Covid-19 patients, especially among young people who are often asymptomatic or have weak symptoms, many tend to think the side effects are from the vaccine, yet they are actually from the virus,” Chun said.
“Side effects could be worse in someone with Covid-19, with the vaccine immune response and the virus symptoms mixed together,” she explained. Using home testing kits could prevent such cases if people who test positive cancel their vaccinations.
Meanwhile, the country saw 1,509 more Covid-19 cases on Tuesday, with the total caseload coming to 239,287.

（早报讯）根据德国联邦卫生部当地时间周五（5月14日）发布的数据，该国目前完成全部疫苗接种的人数已超过800万，但其中仍然有约1万3000人的冠病病毒检测结果呈阳性，占比0.16%，死亡人数为662人；接种过第一剂疫苗的人数已超过2850万人，其中有约4万4000人感染冠病病毒，占比0.15%，死亡人数达到约2000人。
根据德国联邦卫生部的说法，目前还不能确定完成全部疫苗接种人员的具体感染时间，究竟是在接种第二剂疫苗后的14天之内还是之外。
德国卫生部指出，冠病疫苗虽然在大部分情况下可以显着降低感染风险，但无法百分之百保证。而且，在接种完第二剂疫苗之后，人体一般需要大概两周的时间才能建立起完全的保护机制。
