    minimize the impact with mandatory vaccinations

    Maybe if they had access to a more effective vaccine, and if the rest of the world wasn’t constantly incubating vaccine & immunity evasion. Capital wants a global market to play in, but won’t accept the governance required to ensure that market doesn’t kill the host.

      Don't they have a better vaccine by now? If they don't then I guess the caution is more understandable, but I though their vaccines aren't THAT much worse than Pfizer & friends.

        Pfizer just updated their booster for the BA* variants. Bad Covid policy will keep this a moving target for the rest of our species history.

        There's a nasally administered vaccine that provides mucosal immunity (no transmission) but the U.S. refuses to fund it.

        I think there are two versions internationally available, I want to say China and Cuba but I'm not sure off the top of my head.

        So yes, there is a better vaccine available. Plus there's the weird rumor the military has a universal vaccine but I never saw any hard details on that.

      They have the vaccine, but peoples don't want to take it. We have to realized that China with 1.4 billions peoples will have different opinions on vaccination. The cpc achievement on educating the population is outstanding, but that doesn't mean there not gonna be percentage religious nuts that act like western right winger Christian nuts.

        Every day I wish more and more that these types of christians were as oppressed as they think they are.
