I can't read Chinese and am only seeing things peep out on twitter last night and this morning
Is any official stance changing?
Is this supposedely in response to the protests? Those didn't seem for lack of a better word.....real. Or at least natively organic.
I’m confused. What do you think the zero Covid policy is?
My understanding is that it’s an attempt to keep cases to a minimum while a vaccine we would consider “real” is developed, rather than keeping cases to an absolute minimum indefinitely with no long term strategy.
You are aware long covid is covid, right? What we think of as covid is just the initial infection. It then hides in your organs eating away at your microcirculatory system doing damage across your body for months. Most of us are now immunocompromised because of it. A vaccine that doesn't prevent that, which ours for the most part do not is not what I would consider a "real" vaccine.
I wasn’t aware anyone invoked that distinction.
When I said a “real” vaccine I meant one that doesn’t need a booster every three months. Part of the long Covid strategy is developing a vaccine with uhh I think the language is long term efficacy.
Chinas vaccines, and I’m not an expert on this, aren’t mRNA because they decided it wasn’t safe process or effective without lots more shots. There’s also the cost of licensing the extant mRNA vaccines and letting the countries’ health become dependent on another nation.
E: I mean zero Covid. Just saw that it was autocorrecting to long Covid.
Long covid is absolutely being treated as a side effect of covid around here.🤷♂️
Honestly, I don't care one way or the other about the type the vaccines are, but the outcome of their use. And currently we have a virus that's doing serious damage to humanity's herd immunity and life expectancy with zero covid being the only stop gap. Anything that isn't addressing that is fanciful and frankly :LIB: in my eyes.
Can’t wait for ten years from now when everyone, including China from the looks of things, has brain-fog, early onset Alzheimer’s, inability to climb stairs and fall sick to every illness.
It’s looking more and more like covid was engineered by the capitalists to recreate the impacts of shit like lead - make people sick and stupid, so they don’t even think of revolt.
