China's move to dismantle its strict COVID regime, which unleashed the virus onto its 1.4 billion residents, could have led to nearly 2 million excess deaths in the following two months, a US study shows.
It failed because the CCP didn’t spend the time gained by the strategy to vaccinate the whole population. They would have had plenty of time for that until Omicron hit.
In an unvaccinated workplace, a single infected person can easily infect everybody in a single day. In my country, by that time everybody already was either vaccinated or recovered (or dead), so it only hit half of the people (I was one of the ones who got it back then btw).
In my company everyone was vaccinated, but with the local juice. Fairly inefficient, and they knew it. But rather than approving mRNA vaccines for the local market, they played protectionist, as always.
I was lucky enough to have had a business trip to Germany a few months back where I got myself a Biontech booster. Consequently I had super mild symptoms (tired as fuck and fever .4 out of the normal range) and already fully recovered on the afternoon of day 2, while most of my colleagues where bedbound for 3-7 days. Unless some of them simulated and enjoyed a casual break…
Yeah, from what I gathered, the Chinese vaccination wasn’t much better than a placebo, especially with the rapidly evolving variants. This didn’t help at all.
