The Western MSM is really shameless - better science to let millions die?

They have 800 times more deaths per capita and there is zero evidence for live-with-covid's economic benefits. Sorry, what was their average GDP growth in 2020 and 2021?
I've said before, China's zero COVID policy is not scientifically based, it's a political decision. All evidence suggests the new variants are mild, even in people with no previous infections or immunisation.
Once western countries realise that they will be unable to achieve any growth without China they will be begging China to reverse their zero COVID policy....watch this space.

I think the issue isn't so much with zero covid than the inhumane way it is often implemented.

I'm not sure if any economic benefit is worth the lives of 4.5 million people.
Yes, the implementation needs improvement, such as the indiscriminate killing of pets.
Often, it is that they don't have the manpower to do things the right way. It is easy to say what should be done but implementation is far more difficult when you have millions of people to deal even for mid-tier cities in China.
For cities such as Shenzhen and Shanghai, they can afford to quarantine pets but for many other cities they don't have manpower or resources to do so.
Then the method requires refinement. I feel that prolonged lockdowns of entire districts for a few asymptotic cases is a major overreaction. Masked mandate and sealing the building should be fine.
