Vaccines.

Or more specifically: the elderly vaccination rate.

When Omicron hit, *more than two-thirds of people aged 80+ in Hong Kong were still unvaccinated*, compared to a couple of percent in New Zealand and Singapore. This was a year after vaccines became available. pic.twitter.com/YOf70ujEsm

Comparing Hong Kong to its peers, all of whom kept Covid largely at bay for the best part of two years, it’s extraordinary the extent to which it is an outlier in terms of the lethality of this wave.

So what’s driving this?

わああ、違いは、ワクチンかああ・・・なんでまた。

Exacerbating this is that most of Hong Kong’s elderly vaccinees had China’s non-mRNA Sinovac shot, which is less effective than Pfizer etc at blocking infection.

さらに接種しているのが中華ワクチンというのも・・・・
