In April, scientists said that when the second wave comes, it will be more powerful than the first wave. Now the second wave is under way in Europe and it is more powerful than the first wave.

Why didn't anyone do anything about it?

China is Covid-19 free. Without a vaccine! And the economy has recovered. Why can't we Europeans do it?

Better dead than red

Why couldn’t the west do what China did? Two things, firstly they are so brainwashed it’s quite shocking.

The overwhelming majority of the western population has such a set of silly, almost cartoonish preconceptions about China that they seem to think the Chinese government has almost godly levels of powers to control every minute aspect of the lives of every citizen, and that Chinese people are like ants that will follow orders without exception. So they basically just flat out accept that anything China does cannot be achieved on the west because of ‘democracy and freedom and human rights’.

Secondly, which also links back to the first point, is the Soviet like censoring the western media has done on successful Chinese efforts to combat the outbreak (Any slip ups or mistakes, no matter how minor or inconsequential are seizes upon with relish and endlessly repeated on the other hand).

It’s exceedingly rare to get any details on what China has done right in the west without you having to go out of your way to look for it, even then you will not find much in the western MSM, and instead have to do with small independent voices or professional medical publications. with absolutely zero attempts by western governments and health experts to learn lessons from what China got right.

It is an absolutely amazing situation where we have such a current and ongoing crisis where the damage and stakes are so amazingly high, yet the western elite are still resolutely refusing to learn from the only actual real world case study where an outbreak in full swing was not only been brought under control, but the virus completely eradicated from a major country, simply because that country is China.

Instead they are still trying to rehash their own long discredited, and almost Nazi level callous herd immunity crackpot ideas.

It would not surprise me at all at this point that if China won the vaccine race, and made it available to the west, they would still refuse to take the offer and instead wait months more for their own version.

Because liberal democracies have to do everything in opposite of what China does and prove that their way is superior so when China did masks, lockdown, social distancing, they have to do the opposite and prove that that's better and China was wrong. o_O

That is exactly what's happening right now. Trudeau signed a purchase agreement with Astra Zeneca with no mention of the Chinese vaccines which are near completion.
 
Hi Dolcevita,

The way WSJ reports is so sinister and politically dishonest, putting a negative spin for possible effective vaccine for Covid-19. Its always good to have multiple vaccine to choose from for public good, rather than parroting an expensive Western product for corporate gain.

Yes. That was sinister alright. When I originally posted the link the article was readable without a WSJ subscription. Now they are requiring a subscription and that is not a problem, The sinister part is now they have added a vile video narrative on top of the article. WSJ

The US is apparently telling others not to use Chinese COVID-19 test kits because somehow genetic data will be magically transferred to China when those tests are used. And people claim China doesn't have advanced technology...
