更科學的做法當然是再細分不同年齡組別作比較,外國的醫學數據透明度非常高,政府有心做進一步比較的話,隨時都可以找到相關資料,根本無須市民胡亂猜測。
實際上,按世衛指引,患高死亡風險其他疾病隨時有性命危險的人士,是不會計入死亡率的,以下是世衛指引原文:
DEFINITION FOR DEATHS DUE TO COVID-19
A death due to COVID-19 is defined for surveillance purposes as a death resulting from a clinically compatible illness, in a probable or confirmed COVID-19 case, unless there is a clear alternative cause of death that cannot be related to COVID disease (e.g. trauma). There should be no period of complete recovery from COVID-19 between illness and death.
A death due to COVID-19 may not be attributed to another disease (e.g. cancer) and should be counted independently of preexisting conditions that are suspected of triggering a severe course of COVID-19.
據我了解,歐美處理方法是先把安老院老人家分隔,然後安排全部打疫苗;而香港的情況,兩年過去了,80歲以上老人家至22年二月為止,接種率還不到3成, 而按星加坡官方數據,80歲以上的8成以上已完成接種兩針,詳情可參考他們的網站: https://www.moh.gov.sg/covid-19/statistics
大話怕計數,以兩地80歲以上沒接種疫苗差距和年齡組別的死亡率推算,不難計出香港長者因低接種率的額外死亡風險。
聽聞政府安排疫苗接種的老人院,有些是想接種復必泰的,而政府以冷藏問題為由,沒有為安老院長者提供復必泰的選項。
