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?

      The really sad part is how much of Chinese medicine either doesn't work or is actively harmful. And it costs ¥¥¥¥¥¥¥.
