When would you acknowledge that a vaccine is not effective against the infection it is supposed to prevent?
Would 1,000 infected after getting vaccinated be good enough to confirm that the vaccine is not effective? No?
What about 100,000 cases? Still not convince that it is not effective?
What about 1m cases infected after vaccination? Still don't think it is ineffective?
What about 100m cases infected? The US has more than 100m infected. The whole world has more than 200m cases infected after using mRNA vaccines. Convince that it is not effective? No?
Oh, must go for booster. Those got infected because they did not get boostered.
Ok, after one booster shot, still got infected? Effective? No?
Ok get 3, 4, 5 boosters. Still got infected. Convince that it is not effective? No?
Still want to go and get poke and poke with more booster shots hoping that it would work?
How many still think the mRNA vaccine is effective or ineffective?
How many still want to go for more booster shots?
Heard Pfizer and Moderna going to charge at least US100 per shot because it is effective, the best vaccines, want to offer to China some more.
The latest furore over China's opening up and the hysteria in the West that China is facing a Covid crisis with the virus sweeping across China like wild fire. And ridiculous numbers were quoted like 37m infected in a day, hospitals overwhelmed. A Hong Kong journalist claimed that 90% of Beijing's pop of 25m were infected.
If one is to look at the numbers carefully and ask if they make sense, one would quickly find out that they made totally nonsense, just simply spout by the irresponsible doomsayers that wanted to badmouth China.
Japan and South Korea have about 30m total infection up to today. And you have jokers claiming that China had 37m within a few days! And Beijing has 90% of its 25m or 22.5m infected in a few days. Try imagining 20m people reporting sick, what would happen to the hospitals and clinics? How are they going to cope, to record the numbers? For simple comparison, Singapore has a pop of 6m, and all going to report to the clinics and hospitals that they are infected? And we are talking of 6m people!
All the numbers quoted were utterly nonsense. The scale is unreal. Beijing or whichever city with this kind of numbers infected would be on a standstill. The roads would be jammed with traffics. How to count the numbers? But for anti China critics, they just loved the numbers, the bigger the better, and would not be bothered to think through what such numbers meant administratively, logistically and physically. You cannot count even 1m in one day administratively in city. How did they come out with the numbers?
And what happens now? All the hospitals and clinics are normal overnight. Where are the millions of infected and where are the hundreds of thousands of the dead that would come with it? The scenes on the hospitals would be many times worst than the images of New York at its worst. One day all darkness and a few days later all sparkling bright and life is back to normal? And the Gordon Chang types are still uttering the same magic numbers, refusing to reflect or spare a thought on the stupidity of the numbers.
PS. 'According to a National Health Commission (NHC) official, China recorded 59,938 COVID-related deaths between Dec 8, 2022, and Jan 12.
The figure refers only to deaths recorded at medical facilities, with the total toll likely to be higher.
The data includes 5,503 deaths caused by respiratory failure directly due to the virus, and 54,435 deaths caused by underlying conditions combined with COVID-19, Jiao Yahui, head of the NHC's Bureau of Medical Administration, told a news conference....
Just under 2.9 million patients visited fever clinics on Dec 23, they
said, but the figure had dropped to 477,000 nationwide on Jan 12.' CNA.
About 60,000 in 35 days or less than 2,000 daily death. A country with 1.4b people, how many would die under natural causes? At the peak, 2.9m infection nationwide. How many countries are under reporting? How many countries are not counting death due to underlying conditions as non Covid death, no need to count?
