China is "uniquely at risk" to omicron, Osterholm said, for a combination of reasons: Early studies suggest its Sinovac and Sinopharm vaccines are "not very effective" against the variant, and at the same time China's success at preventing the spread of Covid so far means it has a very large population that remains vulnerable.
“ China’s success at preventing the spread of Covid so far”
Mask slipped oopsie
Edit: wait I found something that melts even more of my brain matter:
“China, which recorded its first omicron case in January, has doubled down on its zero-Covid strategy, in contrast to the growing number of countries that have shifted to living with the virus and lifting restrictions. Many of those countries use proven vaccines and have already experienced waves of infection — two major ways that populations establish antibodies to the virus.”
Maybe spread those proven vaccine blueprints for starters dickheads
They're talking about it like it's a good thing to experience multiple waves of a pandemic.
They seem to think it’s good for them. Not that it means it’s good for the rest of us…
There's a show called The Great that's a fictionalized history of Catherine the Great where one of the Serfs gets pox and the courts response is to just throw all the serfs in a bonfire and burn them because "we can't have it getting into the palace"
"So far"...they make it seem like it's been two months and not two fucking years lol
Five years from now, "surely China's zero covid policy won't be able to stop the Zeta-7 variant"
