LOL, and they call this the Age of Information.
It’s the age of trolling

It is, but sadly there is pretty comprehensive state capture in the west. The party line is that the state should not interfere, either on free speech/human right or free market grounds.
This, by design, creates massive power vacuums and lack of regulation and oversight, so that powerful private individuals could use their power and wealth to effectively take control and ownership of this new domain to promote their own interests.
I still recommend people in China, NZ, AUS, or HK to wait a few months before vaccination as things are pretty much under control there.
Coronavirus: China to have 600 million doses of vaccines ‘ready for market this year’
China will have 600 million doses of vaccines ready for market this year and will make “a major announcement” soon, a scientist in charge of vaccine development said on Friday.
Wang Junzhi, from the Chinese Academy of Engineering and also deputy head of an expert task force on vaccine development under the State Council, made the remarks at a briefing in Wuhan.
“Regarding the development of Covid-19 vaccines, there will be a major news announcement in the coming one to two weeks. It’s at the final stage now,” Wang said.
“As planned, there will be 600 million doses of inactivated vaccines ready for market launch this year.”
Inactivated vaccines use a conventional technique that involves killing off the virus in a lab and using it to trigger an immune response. Two such vaccines developed by China National Biotec Group (CNBG) and a third by Sinovac Biotech are in the final stage of clinical trials in South America, the Middle East and Asia but the drug makers have yet to release any of the phase 3 data needed for full regulatory approval.The companies have already built the required high-level biosafety facilities and scaled up production.Wang said China had the technology and standards in place to produce vaccines in such facilities, adding “that’s why our inactivated vaccines are leading the world”.
The US vaccine initiative, Operation Warp Speed, does not include the inactivated technique because of safety concerns.
Sinovac has already shipped more than 1.12 million doses of its vaccine to Brazil, where it is conducting a phase 3 trial, ahead of its interim data being reviewed before it can be approved.
In India, the Serum Institute, the world’s largest vaccine maker, also started mass-producing a vaccine developed by Oxford University-AstraZeneca before it was approved or proven to be effective.
Wang did not give details of the 600 million doses, but previous media reports have said the two facilities under CNBG could supply 100 million doses this year with potential for 300 million by expanding existing capacity. Sinovac could also reportedly supply 100 million doses of its vaccine this year.
Two other vaccines developed in China – by CanSino and Anhui Zhifei Longcom Biopharmaceutical – are also in the final stage of human trials and the companies have said they could produce 100 million to 300 million doses this year, depending on demand.

It seems like China's traditional vaccines will have fewer longer term side effects. It is better to wait to see how these American vaccines using newer methods perform over the first few months.

This is why the west is failing across the board on Covid. They care more about political optics and economic greed than scientific facts and realities, and they are paying for that in human lives.

American ‘freedom’, aka glorified selfishness, fucking over the world once more.
America already has a proven track record of successfully bring back endangered diseases once totally eradicated on their continent due to their anti-vaccine Darwin Award winning movements, so there is a worryingly high chance that enough of them will opt to never get vaccinated to make Covid the new seasonal flu.
