Mr. Wang, do you think it was wise for the CCP to "cave to" the demands of the protestors? Did the protests simply accelerated the speed of opening up (abandoning covid-zero)? What are the greater implications of the unprecedented mass protests?

Mr Wang, MRNA vaccines are not as safe as advertised. Severe side effects have been under reported (personally know of seizures and severe breathing problems following vaccination) and MRNA increases the risk of cardio problems. Perhaps this is the reason for hesitancy to approve Western MRNA vaccines.

thanks Robin. I am sure that mRNA vaccine has side effects like any other vaccine. But its overall positives outweigh the negatives. Xiangwei.

Despite all your good intentions, Mr. Wang, I doubt whether 1) NHC would admit it misled the public when COVID vaccines were first introduced, 2) the incumbent national leaders would take the booster shots to encourage other seniors to take the shots, 3) importing mRNA vaccines would be allowed for general public use.

Thanks Ronald. But pressure is on.

Xi has not shown to the public he has taken the domestic vaccine. It is unlikely he will show he has taken the booster shot either. If Xi doesn’t do it by example, the others will not do it simply because they don’t want to upstage the leader.
