quote:The Philippines signed its biggest supply deal for vaccines in 2021, procuring 40 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr announced on Sunday, June 20. 153 million doses total comes out to 76.5 million fully vaccinated people, or a little over 70% of the entire population (I'm not sure how much of our population falls outside of the age-range for being eligible for vaccines) If Duterte actually pulls this off and manages to buy enough Pfizer/Moderna to get even the Sinophobes to get vaxxed, while also vaxxing enough people before the May 2022 elections to cause cases to plummet (and assuming the Delta variant doesn't gently caress it all up), his daughter is going to be able to run on a legacy of "my father lead the country out of the worst crisis it has ever faced" and be a shoe-in to win because she wouldn't even be technically wrong.

So maybe the Moderna delivery will be late. I don't know whether the Pfizer vaccines will be made in Germany or the US. BTW is Drterte going to be the vice president of his daughter?

I've said this many times before but Duterte has not materially changed the relationship between the Philippines and the United States one whit. Insofar as a Liberal Party president might be more vocally supportive of the US, and vocally antagonistic towards China, I'm very confident in saying that the US will be just fine if Sara Duterte, the daughter, wins the election in May. Whether Rodrigo Duterte will try to run for VP in tandem with his daughter is a possibility, but I'm not willing to bet on it just yet. He loves throwing out all sorts of curveball electoral scenarios, and he's "endorsed" maybe half a dozen different people to be President, and then also told his daughter to NOT run, so it's all jello trying to stick to the wall to try and divine his final intentions. The only thing I'm sure of so far is that Sara Duterte will definitely run for President, and so will Manny Pacquiao.

The Iranian vote total looks like it was about 48%, with about a 14% blank / purposefully void ballots. Raisi ended up getting 62% of the vote. Pretty dogshit considering they usually have a 70% turnout normally and void / blank ballots are normally less than 3% historically Grapplejack has issued a correction as of 12:20 on Jun 20, 2021 |

I’d imagine after COVID not many people are either happy or willing to go to polling places iirc they don't which explains the bad turnout but the void ballots are a much more important factor; 14% is wild, the norm for them is 3% and I'd attribute that largely to the massive number of bans that came out from the GC; a lot of popular candidates got nixed, it was a clinton-esque deck clearing. https://twitter.com/gsuberland/status/1406335438856544259

I was at a bookstore recently and I came upon a translation of a Barefoot Doctor's manual from Hunan from 1970, I was actually a bit surprised about its contents. The traditional line I have heard in the West is more or less that Mao dismissed Western medicine and forced TCM on the population because of ignorance/paranoia when in reality the manual itself was around 90% Western medicine in a very condensed format with some TCM on the side (a small section on Acupuncture and some tables on herbs pretty much). I guess the fact that there is any TCM in there at all suppose to be an indictment but honestly it seems mostly palliative not really different in how herbal/alternative medicine is treated in the West. Also, of course, I have also noticed that TCM is now oddly enough widespread on the West coast outside of Chinese communities, it especially seems in the last 2-3 years.

I think that's largely attributable to how American healthcare is such a hell nightmare that people would rather try TCM and hope for the best

It really altered the outcome of life in the countryside. The cultural revolution sucked for the educated, middle class people who now tell the story of China's history, but was probably a time of positive reforms for the countryside, much like Stalinism had its own benefactors. The horror of professors being killed by their students and so on is too inexact a price to pay of course but Mao wasn't Sauron ushering in all things dark and depraved. You're basically shocked a GBS thread full of the colonial mindset might have guessed a part of history wrong. Antonymous has issued a correction as of 00:13 on Jun 21, 2021 |

It's also a bullshit framing that it's chinese medicine vs western medicine, when the reality is its "tradition" based medicine vs. evidence based medicine but that's another argument altogether

I was only surprised about how little TCM was even in there. As for the evidence based versus non evidence based, isn’t there an increasing amount of work done on TCM? Isn’t at least some herbal medicine permissive from modern medical science? Is drinking mint tea for a sore stomach, the absolutely most insane horrible thing to ever exist?

yeah there was a nobel prize given for a specific chinese traditional medicine 2015 because it was found to prevent malaria. the difference is that in one the basis of why something is prescribed is "tradition" (which could be decades, centuries, or what's often implied, millennia), the other is clinical evidence. Or as the joke goes "what do you call traditional chinese medicine that's been proven to work? Western medicine." but the east/west thing is bullshit

Yeah, there is also a lot of off the shelf Western herbs/compounds that is pretty much TCM, but you can pick it up from CVS (or whatever) and people don’t think about it. Seabands are a good example, it is literally just accupressure but no one cares because of the packaging it is put in. It isn’t also bunch of problematic practices, it is usually just those practices are highlighted to discredit more mundane practices. Just because tiger dongs exist doesn’t mean everything is just a bunch of tiger dongs. Some of it improve with time as there will be a sorting process and the more “mystic” side of TCM is stripped out. Look at cannabis, medical marijuana used to be a joke and now has more or less been incorporated into modern medicine. Ardennes has issued a correction as of 01:59 on Jun 21, 2021 |
