Below is a page from another featured article on the site to which you linked. Read the one sentence summary. Is this covertly suggesting that the virus may have gotten free from a research lab in Wuhan by accident? If so, be sure that the government will never admit it, even though the government is not to blame. They will just take steps to keep it from happening again. Remember, these are the regulations and supervision that allowed powdered melamine to be used as filler in baby formula. As for the post above that claims, “China . . . cares nothing for it's people,” that is not true. It cares in a different way than we are used to. It is, we might say, highly maternalistic, trying to control many aspects of people’s lives. I remember when women were questioned each month about their menstrual cycles lest they get pregnant a second time and be pressured to get abortions if they got pregnant again. I remember when the son of a party leader was publicly executed for “spiritual pollution”: smuggling in copies of “Playboy” to sell. They have cradle to grave care of many sorts, though less than they had forty years ago. The government doesn’t do this because it doesn’t care. It does it because it DOES care. But the Chinese Communist government way is to put the good of the country above the good of the individual, and the good of all individuals depends on controlling everyone. Part of the Chinese government’s way, oddly, is to have very lax regulations about some things regarding business, making money, and safety, and that helps companies make money, but it can lead to problems or even disasters. In some ways, China is more “free market” than the U.S., but in other ways, it is tighter. Still, again, the government DOES care for its people, but in a different way than we are used to. It has been this way for many centuries. Last edited by MandoMan; 10-27-2020 at 06:44 AM. |

China’s govt should hv been forthcoming but when we knew at the beginning of the year and called it a hoax and just let the virus run rampant, that was our fault.

A vaccine from China that:
Does not allow free speech Made fake n95 masks Distributed children's toys painted with lead paint Sold dog food which killed dogs Blamed a wet market for a virus which escaped from one of their labs Made no effort to warn the world of a virus to save face Has a terrible human rights record Oh, yeah, I would take one of their vaccines! |

All viruses mutate. Such as the flu virus. That’s why flu vaccines only work sometimes .

Nobody called it a "hoax." That's just fake news. And no one has made any suggestions to do anything different than was done. Our leaders listened to the "experts" and the "experts" kept changing their opinions on how to deal with the virus. Calling our president names and attempting a coup when they should have taken the virus seriously didn't help any.

The USA ranks 7th or 15th in the world, depending on which survey you find. You can google that for specifics. As I recall it was based on multiple factors such as education, healthcare, infant mortality, environmental quality, housing, political stability & more. BTW, we have been adversely affected in the “world trust” category since 2016.

So, if they tell you that it works, it's all OK.

China could also be like a pyromaniac one who starts fires and then comes around later to save the day
