I can’t understand it. Look at what Covid is doing right now. It’s fucking awful. Why couldn’t they just stay with Zero-COVID till everyone got vaccinated? Why haven’t they vaccinated everyone by now? It’s so frustrating. Who the fuck cares if someone assholes protested with blank paper? Just…why?

    Where does the hesitancy come from there? Is it still reactionary conspiracy theories or is there a different narrative?

      It's mostly elderly who lived through the cultural revolution. They had their lives messed with for what appears to be, in their minds, no reason so they still doubt the government. These people are also not health literate and alternative medicine is still popular. There's also a long history of faulty products and lack of oversight when it comes to medicine in China. The quality of medicine in China has improved over the last 20 years, but if you're 70 it might not be enough to overcome any skepticism
