Isn't the Domestic Chinese vaccine just as good as the MRNA ones?

What? The US isn't denying China any vaccine tech, the Chinese authorities just aren't approving any of the western vaccines. A subsidiary of the parent company that owns Sinopharm also has a licensing agreement with bioNTech and is ready to bring in the Pfizer shot at any time, they had a batch lined up but ended up diverting it to Taiwan when the approvals didn't come though. There is no meaningful difference in outcomes between Sinopharm and Moderna/Pfizer, in public policy terms. Some data sets show the MRNA vaccines are slightly more efficacious but it mostly amounts to something like 65% VE versus 45% VE after 3 months, in populations that are completely healthy, young and non-obese, basically none of the vaccines are anywhere close to effective enough to warrant fully opening up even if you magically vaccinated 100% of the population in 3 months. The west is happy to open up despite this and let millions of westerners die or become permanently maimed because life is cheap in the west. It's hilarious reading the normie discourse on covid in the west because it's essentially a dispute between lunatics who have dug themselves in the position that vaccines are a magic bullet that ended the pandemic 6 months ago and also every has to die someday so who gives a poo poo, and lunatics who think vaccines cause autism.

Too cowardly to declare independence, too stubborn to join the mainland even when it would benefit them, truly the Puerto Rico of China.

There are over 3000 counties in the US and those represent tiny edge cases. The US still imprisons more than any other nation in both per capita and absolute numbers.

KomradeX posted:Isn't the Domestic Chinese vaccine just as good as the MRNA ones? That's not what happened in China though. Not only did Shanghai shutting down have significant and severe downwind economic effects on every other province (not to mention the country as a whole, and perhaps even the entire world that depends on China), people in places like Beijing and Guangzhou were (and still are) in a state of constant fear as well, not knowing whether their own cities or provinces might be locked down next. Granted, Cincinnati is nowhere as economically significant as Shanghai, but the idea that local shutdowns are isolated to their locality and everyone else can go on with their lives is, frankly, bonkers. While these criticisms have predictably become ammunition for good old "liberal"-bashing, almost every government in the world, of all political stripes, has (correctly) determined that China style lockdowns in perpetuity are not sustainable. The fact of the matter is that you cannot ask cities or states or provinces to cut themselves off and go on lockdowns at the drop of a hat in perpetuity. Even Shanghai residents have pushed back very strongly against their shutdown this time around, and it's frankly unclear if even China can continue with similar measures moving forward. My guess is that once Xi is confirmed for a third term, their approach will change. There's a difference between explaining the flaws in the CCP's forever-covid-zero policy, and why it is unsustainable, and endorsing millions of deaths. Nobody wants millions of deaths. I certainly do not want millions of deaths, and I wish the CCP had acted responsibly and with the speed and seriousness they are more than capable of to fully vaccinate their population with the best vaccine tech available in order to avoid those deaths. I can't understand why they've dropped the ball and put their citizens in mortal danger in this way. I cannot make that determination since I myself don't live in China. If the Chinese people collectively decide that they don't want lockdowns anymore, then they shouldn't. The argument itself is interesting, though. What lengths should President Xi go in order to prevent deaths? Traffic accidents kill about 60,000 people in China each year, and that number will only increase as more Chinese people get to own personal vehicles. Should he ban driving? Clearly, "minimize deaths" is never the only driving impetus for any decision maker.

If in theory China relaxes COVID zero but doesn't go full Open Biden, they'll still get poo poo on. Hong Kong and Singapore have tried to ride the middle rail of COVID policies and people STILL complain that they are far too strict. The only acceptable option is pretending COVID doesn't exist or that the people who get COVID are morally suspect

i know that post was a syq but to address it and some of the other stuff a three-dose regimen of either inactivated vaccine is just as effective as mrna shots in preventing hospitalizations and deaths, millions are getting vaccinated and boosted every day, people in beijing and presumably guangzhou are not "living in fear," us flights into china no longer require seven days spent in the city of departure prior to takeoff and the quarantine upon entry is being trialed as 10 days rather than 14. taiwan, which no one brings up when they denigrate the mainland's zero covid policy, still requires 7. so either three extra days of quarantine is a uniquely draconian burden to place on foreign entrants or these people are all full of poo poo.

Considering what happened in HK this is a lot more concerning than the dumb SYQ, IMO Feel like 4 more days of vegging out in a hotel is better than risking another huge outbreak

KomradeX posted:Isn't the Domestic Chinese vaccine just as good as the MRNA ones? nope, the sinovac is a "weakened virus" type of vaccine, meaning it's the alpha variant strain, but made inactive and unable to reproduce. It is not possible to quickly develop new vaccine variant for new strains with this method, unlike with mRNA vaccines. that is (partly) why efficacy of protection drops off signicantly with time as the coronavirus evolves, the sinovac simply doesn't carry protection for the mutated parts of the omicron variant. that is why you need booster shots of mRNA vaccine if you received the weakened virus vaccine.
