Re << Need better vaccines >>

In HK we have relatively low vaccination take-up, due to low new-case count, even though people should, but i am unsure they do, realize that the low new-case count has a high economic cost. In any case, given the low new-case count, people simply reluctant to do CoronaVac and BioNTech, and a so the economic cost gets further extended. There is no particular social-convenience (mask, social-distance) to being vaccinated, because people would do mask and moderate social distance as a matter of course.

Need a vaccine that is effective, has no side-issues for most, and makes social inconveniences unnecessary, as opposed to still more lucky prizes (apartments, plane tickets, cash, etc) draw to take the current vaccines.

Given HK population density in most neighborhoods, a breakout would be very problematic, and so the social-inconvenience must remain in place irrespective of current generation vaccines. Just not good enough, or so folks apparently feel. I am not the odd person out. I am in the majority.
