Did anyone watch the piece on the Sinovac vaccine in Thailand on Aljazeera?

Youngsters/Young students are so easily influenced by propaganda news. They would demand that the Sinovac vaccine not be used on them when the only other vaccine Thailand is using is known to have serious blood clots problems, especially on younger people, although rare.

Brainwashed by the "milk tea alliance", just like the hk youths

Except China and a few other countries, Western hegemony over youngsters have grown over the last two decades. Too many people just blindly accept anything from the West. FB, Youtube, google, twitter, and Instagram have made the jobs of CIA easy. Many of them probably still think China is a poor and backward country.

My fear is a new variant would finally render most vaccines useless.

I read that the CDC does not recommends people that have been vaccinated but without covid19 symptoms to be tested for covid19. Prior to vaccines, companies would force employees to get tested or people would get tested because they had some prior contact to someone with covid or had some suspicions. Furthermore, i remember reading that the phase3 trials were based on people testing for covid based on symptoms rather than anti-body tests after the trials. One has to really wonder what is the true effiacy of some of these vaccines as there is no standardize method for the results.

Japan had to ban all foreign (and domestic) spectators in 2020 Summer Olympics due to low vaccination rate in Japan and recent surges in case load.

On the other hand, China is likely to ban all foreign spectators in 2022 Winter Olympics, but allow domestic (vaccinated) spectators to attend the games, due to high rate of vaccination among domestic population. For overseas athletes, I think China will impose a 2-3 week quarantine upon arrival, daily COVID tests, and a Olympic Village Bubble (similar to the NBA bubble in Disney land) for the Winter athletes, they are not allowed to venture outside it.

Thoughts?
That would be the only way to have 2022 games if by then the situation remains.

I also think that Chinese athletes have to be put in that bubble and later quarantined before letting out because they would have close contact with foreign athletes in the arena.

Tricky thing are the indoor games, the air is in close circulation.

The Japanese are extremely careless, so I don't think they would even care about that as long as their games rake in cash. Personally, I think the Chinese athletes should just not go and cite Japan's reckless handling of Covid as their primary reason.

The Japanese claimed they are cleaner than most countries, and their face masks are superior. The Japanese are supposed to be very diligent in practicing personal cleanliness. How come their vaccination rates are low, and they cannot fully control the covid-19 situation even right before the Olympics?

Poor Taiwan. You'll need to grovel more. Even your Lord and master recognise the one China principle. So sad to see the frog in the well comes to this.


Taiwan asks US not to cause 'misunderstanding' after flag tweet removed

Taiwan has asked its office in Washington to remind the United States not to cause "unnecessary speculation or misunderstanding" after the White House deleted a social media post on COVID-19 vaccine donations that included Taiwan's flag.
