    Pride… and what not.

    It seems surprising that China’s elderly demographic has such low vaccination rates.

    China Boomers built stronk.

    But yeah... those folks sidelining as a country epidemiologist were all complaining about "untested" side effects (J&J vax wut?) while the rest of the world were quarantined until they could get theirs from a lengthy waiting list.

    Those who said **** it and took the Chinese and Russian variety pretty much got a coin flip on protection against a novel virus.

    And a video from last year from Germany with police officers using wooden sticks to enforce 2 meters distance...outdoors.

    No hate. Just an observation.

    Maybe he is not evil, but he should never have been de facto setting policy.

    He is one of the people responsible for this:

    You seem to use that word a lot. I saw the whole Fauci meet the press interview and he criticizes the PRC’s response. He didn’t endorse a zero COVID policy.

    and again the US never got close to what the PRC did. At the height of “lockdowns” you could still go outside and go to the grocery store. In the lockdowns in the PRC they were flying drones to catch people breaking quarantine.

    this is more of the hyperbolic comparisons that so frequently color these debates

    He only criticized the execution in detail, but still defends authoritarian lockdowns. What you get with that is what I posted above. He was one of the key figures leading the world down that path. He is trying to whitewash himself and his legacy, but he caused a lot of pain and deaths.

    You can disagree with Fauci but what he advocated wasn’t the same as what the PRC is doing.

    It’s why it’s so hard to have reasonable discussions when people jump to hyperbole.

    Also Fauci has no influence in the PRC. In fact the PRC had been critical of Fauci since he pressed them to be more transparent.

    Since we are on the evil train…

    RNC propaganda isn’t so different from CCP propaganda. Sadly, there is a segment of the population that trust them.

    Pain and death:

    NZ zero covid policy until vaccine was available —-> a few thousand deaths

    US covid was a flu policy —-> 1million deaths

    no cancer screenings, depression, suicide, etc.

    you are not looking at it holistically

    She's showing "the deep dark shadows that lurk" within her, and you are helping. Does it make you feel good? It makes her feel good, because the hits contribute to her bank account.
