Feigl-Ding seems to see this as proof that zero COVID policies need to stay which seems crazy to me. They can't be sustained long term. They have massive human costs. And now 1 million + people are going to die very soon, many simply because the healthcare system is completely overrun. What was the point of it all?[/quote]

[b]Is their population not highly vaccinated?[/b] Ding is a fear mongerer.  If he ever made accurate predictions, we’d all be dead of monkey pox by now. [/quote]

No they do not have much immunity from vaccines because the Chinese vaccines were not great and there is a lot of vaccine hesitancy in the elderly population.

Ding is not the one predicting 1 million+ deaths, btw, he's just stating a widely reported projection.[/quote]
The Chinese painted themselves into this corner. A population without much previous exposure to the virus, low vaccination rates (especially among the elderly) with a not-great vaccine, and insufficient hospital capacity. They screwed themselves with their policies, and now they have to live (or die) with their choices. [/quote]

So they can mandate people dont leave their homes, but they cant mandate a vaccine?  [/quote]

I’ve never understood this either.[/quote]

It’s also that their vaccine isn’t great compared to the Pfizer/Moderna/AZ that the rest of the developed world was getting. And even those aren’t GREAT but the SinoVac is worse. And it’s hard to get out to all those rural areas and small towns to get shots in arms. [/quote]
