科學已經證明疫苗接種的重要性

文/多米尼克·伯特蘭 （Dominique Bertrand）

今年的中關村論壇主題集中在人類的三個基本領域：智慧·健康·碳中和。通過這三個主題，我希望在2021—2022年能夠采取一種特殊的治療方式來控制感染新冠肺炎死亡的人數，因為如果沒有這種全球性的動員，死亡人數會更多。當然因各國的情況而異，不要忘記1918年至1921年的西班牙流感，人們只注意到抗擊疫情所取得的成果，卻忽略了科學和技術也受到了影響。

This year’s themes for the Zhong Guan Cun covered three fundamental areas of human beings: Intelligence, Health, and Carbon Neutrality. With these three themes, special treatments can be adopted, in 2021—2022, to reduce infections and the death toll, thus ending COVID–19. Without a worldwide mobilization like this, there will be more deaths. True conditions in each country vary. Don’t forget the Spanish flu from 1918 to 1921. We tend to notice the achievements made in the anti–Covid efforts but ignore the hard truth that science and technology are affected by it.

首先，在了解新冠病毒及其傳染性方面，展開的研究從未如此之多。這使得采取適當措施阻止新冠病毒的蔓延成為可能，可以通過生物學的方法來檢測新冠病毒的傳播，但也要在不加重感染的基礎上，關注新冠病毒的變異能力和更強的傳染能力。

First, never before have we done so much research to learn about a pandemic like the COVID–19 virus. The circumstances and locations of contamination can be quickly identified, making it possible to take appropriate measures to limit the spread of the epidemic. Thus, biological countermeasures can be used to detect and deter the spread of COVID–19. However, we must also pay attention to COVID–19’s mutability and contagious power.

其次，對于嚴重疾病的攻克，醫學領域出版了眾多以臨床為重點的科學出版物，這使得對于有癥狀病人的治療具有了統一性。目前關于治療新冠肺炎的特效藥研究不斷取得進展，科學研究也提供了相關診療方法，為人們在無計可施時提供了戰勝疾病的信心。

Second, numerous scientific publications in medical science have focused on clinical trials which, make it possible to apply unified treatment for symptomatic patients. Although there is no wonder drug to cure the COVID–19 virus, such research provides treatment for patients when there is no way out.

The third point is about prevention. If a vaccine is taken as an effective anti-Covid weapon, tracking and isolating the infected are equally important. China has done a great job in tracking and isolation. There was a short time to respond to the COVID–19 outbreak. At the beginning of the epidemic, masks were in dire need, and the wide use of digital applications to track close contacts was also affected. When highly contagious COVID–19 cases broke out in a row, social distancing became extremely important. In the beginning, gatherings of all kinds were banned.

再次，如果疫苗作為最主要的抗疫武器，那對于感染者的追蹤和隔離對抗疫也起到了重要作用，中國在這方面做得很好。新冠肺炎疫情暴發的反應時間短，暴發初期口罩供不應求，追蹤密切接觸者的數字化程序的普及也受到了影響。當連續發生了極具傳染性的新冠病毒感染事件時，保持社交距離至關重要。起初禁止所有類型的聚集，之后參照感染最輕地區的情況，逐漸增強防疫措施。法國推出了衛生通行證——一個在手機上使用的應用程序。每個人（包括密切接觸者）可以通過（核酸）檢測或者通過查看是否接種疫苗，來判斷有沒有感染新冠肺炎，這一措施可以有效阻止人們在各種各樣的聚集場所被感染。

Then, they gradually upgraded anti-epidemic measures by referring to the actions taken in areas with the slightest contagion. For example, in France, we created a health pass, an APP installed and used on the mobile phone. It helps verify the absence of contamination by nucleic acid testing or checking whether the testee has been vaccinated. Close contacts can also use this mobile APP, so this measure has almost minimal human contamination in the most diverse gathering places.

最后，無論疫苗的生產采用了何種技術路線，并逐步發現可能存在的副作用，我們必須肯定疫苗對大部分人都是有免疫作用的，且極少數人會出現副作用。所有人產生免疫力是群體保護的關鍵要素。在法國，截至8月20日，70%的人口接種了疫苗；12—17歲的年輕人中有一半的人接種了疫苗。目前正在進行一輪新的極其重要的人口統計和死亡統計，科學已經證明了疫苗接種的重要性。

Fourth, vaccines, regardless of their technical routes and the gradually discovered side effects, are most often benign, and side effects occur only in a few cases. Thus, the immunity built up by all is key to collective protection. By August 20, 2021, 70% of the population had been vaccinated in France.

For the young aged 12—17, only half have been vaccinated. As a result, a new wave of vital statistics of population and death is currently underway. Yet science has demonstrated the importance of vaccination.

為何有人不愿接種疫苗呢？有些可能是因為考慮到來自未知事實的潛在風險，他們對疫苗的一無所知導致他們不愿意接種疫苗。考慮存在風險是可以理解的，但當我們實施公共衛生措施，有些人會認為這是阻礙他們行動的自由，這樣的想法是錯誤的。目前所有措施都是為了抗擊病毒并能夠擺脫感染。科學總是處于反對蒙昧主義的危險之中。

How come there are people against vaccination? Some may be reluctant to get vaccinated, and some believers, troubled by the potential risks of something unknown and unaware of vaccines, are unwilling to get vaccinated. It is understandable to consider risks, but when implemented for public health, some people believe it is an infringement of their freedom of movement or actions. It is understandable to consider risks, but when implemented for public health, some people believe it is an infringement of their freedom of movement or actions. Such ideas are wrong. All our current measures aim to combat the virus and get rid of contamination. Science is, as always, exposed to the attack of obscurantists; this has been the case since a long time ago.

France was the first Western country to establish diplomatic relations with the People’s Republic of China. Since then, many partnerships have been developed in all fields between us. The friendship between our two countries strengthens our cooperation.

法國是第一個與中國建交的西方國家，從那時起，法國和中國在各個領域都建立了友好的伙伴關系。中法兩國的友誼加深了兩國的合作，讓我們一起攜手并進，互利共贏！

Let us never forget that together we will advance, and together we win.
