that makes half the world’s iPhones. The scene there turned violent this week as thousands of workers protested the company’s failure to isolate people testing positive and to honor the terms of employment contracts.
estimated that fully relaxing coronavirus controls could leave 5.8 million Chinese needing intensive care in a system with only four beds per 100,000 people.the 100-plus critical cases meant more hospital beds and treatment facilities were “very necessary” given the health risks for the elderly and individuals with preexisting conditions. The spread of infection was accelerating in multiple locations, they added, with some provinces facing their worst outbreaks in three years.
Sinopharm and Sinovac distributed their products widely throughout the world as part of a Chinese push to become a leading provider of global public goods and to improve China’s image. Yet in late 2021, demand for Chinese vaccines started toChina has still not approved any foreign vaccines or explained its decision to shun what could be an effective way to plug its immunity gap.
Some health experts consider Beijing’s reticence hard to justify. “China should approve the BioNTech and Moderna vaccines for the general Chinese population as soon as possible,” said Jin Dong-yan, a virologist at the University of Hong Kong. “It’s ridiculous that they only allowed foreigners in China to receive the BioNTech vaccine. It is as if they think Chinese people are inferior to foreigners.”China is instead trying to develop 10 of its own mRNA candidates.
Is this what you want? 100s of millions of Chinese people lining up in the heavy snow to take daily COVID test to keep their green QR code (COVID passport) to be able to participate in society.
I’m sorry- natural immunity?
Misinformation again?
there's no such thing as natural immunity.
Immunity denier. Such garbage writing.
Xi Jinping directly ordered the release of his Chinese coronavirus bioweapon. Xi Jinping brutally strangled 18 million innocent people with his Chinese coronavirus bioweapon.
Covid is not the measles. It's not a one infection and you're done deal. Whatever natural immunity there is will be weak and short-lived. Particularly so with Omicron and it's myriad variants.
Gotta love that TaylorLorenz doesn’t allow comments on any of her posts. One way propaganda
Conn-vidd is a viral scam. Conn-vidd does not exist, except in the minds of the ignorant/misinformed. Conn-vidd is diagnosed by a fake test. Conn-vidd only exists to sell vaxxines to authoritarian governments which in turn coerce its citizens to take these death shots. 🙂
This article is fucking trash tier bullshit. There is no natural immunity for Covid. Immunity Debt is bullshit too.
That is flawed in both science and logic.
There is no natural immunity. Why are you lying?
What is 'natural immunity'? Everyone who has had COVID can get it again, and the risk of death/serious illness goes up with each subsequent infection. Are you saying they haven't killed off their most vulnerable yet, like we have here in the US?
The zombies in these replies ☠️ Y'all probably still wear 6 marks inside your own home still
As opposed to the rest of the world who are also without natural immunity.
Lorenz Taylor is a chicken. If your going to make comments at least have the balls to have everyone respond. With that said, me and my entire family are unvaxed. That's my 2 kids wife parents and 2 brothers. Never been sick! And every1 I know who's vaxed keep getting sicker.
TaylorLorenz thinks Chinas treatment of it citizens is to be applauded. Thats nice of you to support a communist sympathizer.
cHInA iS DoInG iT wROnG! 🙄🤡
The U.S. — with a million deaths and hundreds still dying every day — is hardly in a position to judge China's handling of covid-19.
There is no natural immunity to COVID. Maybe don't lie to people.
And a failed Sinovac vaccine
Democracy may die in darkness, but the manufacturing of consent, you're doing in broad daylight.
What are you talking about? Natural immunity is short lived & isn’t guaranteed from one variant to another. Chinas biggest problem is low vaccination & their refusal to use western made mRNA vaccines. This leaves a lot of unvaccinated citizens vulnerable to severe disease.
There is no “natural immunity” this is horrible reporting.
China has had 4 deaths per million people. US has had 3300. Stop the institutional gaslighting.
That sounds like opinion to me, and it certainly isn't the position of the Chinese government. Why is this piece not labeled opinion?
I’m seriously starting to wonder if the person writing this garbage is brain damaged from too many infections, or is more than comfortable lying because they are either lazy or evil? Whatever the reason, this misinformation should be removed immediately.
This is misinformation. Shame on you . This is garbage anti- vaxx/mask rhetoric. Are you all completely incapable of investigating false claims before printing these lies? Pathetic and dangerous. “Immunity gap” good god.
“Immunity gap” is a made up term popularized by insane people and is not actually a thing. This isn’t journalism cdcshepherd
If there were such a thing as natural immunity, the US would have nearly zero cases, but instead people are getting infected 4 or 5 times with Covid, and now having horrendous co-infections, that land them in the hospital, and with viruses that were previously mild.
Natural immunity was always the only way.
An example of why I stopped my subscription to this newspaper.
Natural immunity? Really? How long are we going to pretend that reinfections are very common, or that millions have died because they were left unprotected?
'Exposed a critical flaw' - you mean the flaw the zerocovid approach is actually there to fix; the fkn INTENT of the strategy, now 'exposed'? There is no immunity, there is only immune degeneration and blood clots. Or this 'exposed' no illness deal... I know what I prefer.
„Natural immunity“?! What nonsense. And I thought WP was a legit newspaper
1.2 million dead and counting in America how many dead in China
Anything else…?
As it was manufactured in the Wuhan lab and reading the article in the daily telegraph report the Chinese CCP know that no vaccine is able to cure the mutant strains.
Sadly, we are dealing with a virus with the same biological shape, a coronavirus with its spike protein, as the ever evolving cold virus which we unfortunately have never found a cure for or prevented as it just morphs and changes. The fact that any vaccine was helpful to reduce
Why yes twitter, I will report this as misleading information
They're probably faking numbers to justify the inevitable crackdown.
Can't believe you're still pushing the 'Covid immunity' bull. Didn't you get the memo that train has left the station when half the population got sick again and again? What ignorant hack propagandists wrote this?
What natural immunity? There is no natural immunity.
I am God, YOU FEEL ME, which I prove, in My Holy King James Bible, USING Logic-Rationality, Facts, Evidence, Science. You are a sinner who chooses to focus on My Evil. The Purpose Of Evil Ended When I Awoke. READ PROOF And Tremble With Horror At The Hell Of Faithlessness:
The critical flaw of no mass death, disability and infection - get off - you really are a ghoulishly awful publication.
Fact check: you're lying.
This is a ridiculous, unfounded take on their current challenges. There is no lasting natural immunity. Lack of mass infection won't save anyone from mass infection. I know people who've been infected multiple times. * There is no lasting natural immunity * Prevention is key.
This is complete nonsense
So... you want them infected...so they don't get infected? That isn't even how it works, as you can see from repeated infections all over the US. How does this make any sense at all?
No shit
What 'natural immunity'? There is none! I know people who have been infected with Corona 3 times because their kids keep catching it at daycare/school! And now studies say the reinfections put people at even higher risk of heart damage, LongCovid & death!
When does the US get to natural immunity? 🤷🏼♀️ just kidding there is NO such thing.
This article was written from a political perspective not a medical one.
At least they delayed mass death longer than we did. Prepare for huge supply issues if they lose control of covid.
This mf said natural immunity lmao
No reliable natural immunity exists. WAPost= lying, saying China is neglecting their people I'm pro vaxx, but this some next level corporate vaxx stock manipulation It's a pattern=Post platformed EmilyOster lies to help charters (yelllow picture)
Reported for false information regarding covid.
How do we deal with life with flagship newspapers disseminating disinformation? It’s inflammatory and deadly.
Just writing lies now huh?
There’s no such thing as natural immunity
you should go out of fucking business
A whole lot of people in the U.S. have 3 or 4 COVID infections behind them + millions have Long COVID. Let me know when they get this “natural immunity” you speak of.
WAIT. NOT KILLING PEOPLE IS A FLAW? Sorry China failed to successfully kill the vulnerable like the US has.
You don’t get lasting immunity from getting covid over and over. The US chose not to do mitigating strategies like masking. That is the reason our hospitals are overflowing right now with covid, RSV, and the flu.
bullshit
Lies ! Why don’t you show the people protesting in the streets ? You’re taking up for the Chinese government on this ?, sickening. fakenews
You wanna add in a footnote like 'this article would've been out sooner but I drooled on my keyboard thinking about dead Chinese people'
This is the WaPo?!!? China is not trying to 'plug an immunity gap'! Chryst, everyone knows this!
Boy, there's a whole lot of 'I've never read a single paper on covid immune response' in the replies here.
Joke of a news organization
maybe we can get them Moderna & pfizer vaccines
, get it together. COVID damages the immune system. There is no natural immunity when there are a seemingly endless number of variants. TellTheTruth
They can’t admit they are wrong,
This is a lie. What the hell do you think the vaccines were for?
Never been jabbed & survived twice. Guess my superior immunity is better than most. Even now the CDC is admitting more people have died from covid being vaxed than not. In the future ppl who be dying from 'long COVID' it will be cuz they've suppressed their immune system.
So like they weren't infected a ~month ago, and therefore weren't protected now? That's how quick natural immunity can wane. Cool, smart plan...
This is incorrect and you should be ashamed of spreading such rubbish
no, the flaw is the zero-covid strategy and their authoritarian government implementing it.
America has had over 1 MILLION people die from covid and China has had less than 10 thousand sooooooo
If you say China in the mirror three times real fast your failed state collapses
Well it’s an RNA virus so…
🤡
Why does cdcshepherd think 'natural immunity' is a thing with covid when we've known there is no natural immunity for almost a year now. It's not even disputed. A prior infection offers ZERO immunity from additional infections.
Have you considered NOT PRINTING BLATANT LIES If you decide to print them at least make it an op ed
You mean no immune system and organ damage from Covid. Immunity is not a thing with Covid, but immune system and organ damage certainly seem to be.
How much did the State Department pay you for this
Wasn’t that long ago WaPo was reporting that natural immunity didn’t work
Most of them do not even have mRNA vaccines and you want them to be infected? 🤡
Natural immunity lasts weeks. Weeks.
you’re just straight up lying once again for business interests. what a low life
They should just give them all a vaccine and they’d be immune. Isn’t that how vaccines work? Wait… no?
Democrats in Chicago were marching in the Streets demanding a Communist revolution, lol, they never lived in a communist country before, lol
The people over there hate communism, if you want to find a communist you have to go to those woke colleges here in the USA
You democrats are in love with this stuff, where the government owns the people
Clowns
What happened to their Sinovac they were so proud of that the sold around the world made billions? Not working so well?
Wasn't that what the US was trying to do -- with our own isolation policies and mandatory vaccinations?
fakenews hacks (owned by a tech billionaire, btw) call violation of human rights a 'strategy'. h/t: ChristinaPushaw
Wait. Isn’t natural immunity disinformation?
I thought natural immunity wasn't a thing? Why does it matter?
Yeah, right. Covid was circulating back in 2019, months before the insane lockdowns.
However, it is said that the sinovac vaccine is at least as effective as mRNA vaccines so they really don't have to worry that much more. What they ought to be doing is to develop an effective antiviral and they would be done with near 0 losses.
So, let me get this straight , they haven't been exposed to covid when literally everyone else on earth has? Seems more likely that this is effect of the 'vaccine' that makes people get covid over and over...that seems more likely...I'm un vaxxed n healthy. ha ha ha suckers
The Chinese are in a losing battle vs nature . Look at Africa they eat hcq for malaria like candy they have the lowest vaccine % and covid is over for them .
What garbage. Do we have a polio gap? An HIV gap? Trash.
In Europe, there's a saying with the meaning of 'facing the music': Spooning out the soup one cooked...
This is a human rights tragedy
Could it be China knows something we don’t?
Natural immunity lasts months if you are lucky. People are getting back to back Covid variant infections. Repetitive Covid infections sets you up for an impaired immune system, clotting disorders, cognitive decline and other medical problems. The best medicine is prevention.
No such thing as natural immunity remember
Are you saying natural immunity is a thing? Go figure.
When you are in a CCP dickriding contest and your opponent is
Anyone who supports China’s lockdown strategy deserves to live in isolation in a 9 x 11 room for two weeks and get tested daily
A critical flaw in their ‘zero Covid’ strategy is that they remarkably continue to pursue a zero Covid strategy
Why do you want the Chinese to be exposed to the virus ?
You guys rooted for this for 2 years here. Go to Hell
'natural immunity' only exists for a few weeks AFTER you get sick, IF you survive and don't have lasting damage from covid. Relying on 'natural immunity' as a solution is anti-science nonsense when talking about a deadly pandemic.
Y'll remember when talking about natural immunity was taboo
I was reliably told by WAPO that natural immunity doesn’t exist.
Leftist commies
Not true!
CCP appreciates you support.
they are fully vaccinated 3. the only truth is most of 1.4billion people in China really never get infected cuz we did fight hard. we are going to work on the MOON by 2028, hurry or the world would no there wasn't footprints there if NASA could only make it by 2030. :)
Zero-Covid isn't a strategy. It's a human rights violation What is wrong with you people?
it’s not about health…
CCP Post.
Beijing’s “zero covid” strategy is about controlled people not the disease
Strategy is a strange name to give to the largest human rights violation since WWII
Wait, so natural immunity is a real thing 🤯🤯🤯
The exact issue with lockdowns and zero covid ... guess they will not learn because they are making things exponentially worse with more lockdowns smh
I thought vaccines took care of this problem?
This commie rag is chomping at the bit for the same thing here.
Give yourselves some pinnocios. This is clear violation of human rights.
Well that and they continually inject themselves with it. 🥴
they launched this boomerang
This is very misleading: what is the population of Beijing? Hong Kong and Shanghai and most of China is not in lockdown.
The west is waiting to see this happening again in China?
Delete your account WaPo
Sorry to hear that the inncent's in China have been bitten by the circle-back China virus! And they have no one to blame but their government and the WHO!!
Why r they doing this? Just take the risk & u live or die. The jabs do not work. Only a small % die & usually unhealthy elderly. That does not change if u have the jab.
BaddCompani The contagiousness of Omicron was a game changer and made Covid zero policies ineffective. They should’ve switched to mass vaccination policy when Omicron information was available.
I thought natural immunity was a myth.
Imagine saying “most of its people have never been exposed to the virus” and considering that some sort of failure. As opposed to the YOLO strategy pursued by some countries (whose citizens have decreasing life-expectancies).
What does science it self recommend?
what a foolish dictator
Thanks to the American coronavirus. The origin of Covid-19.
BaddCompani There is no natural immunity. The antibodies last about 9 months
The beginning of the end of XiJingping!
The answer all along was to just let people get the virus and treat the ones who got sick. We never should have destroyed the economy or locked down. The 2020 democrats own the supply chains disruptions, rising gas prices, inflation, education gaps and mental health issues.
I’d propose China import a bunch of whities to get sick with the Covid. Let them perish on the front lines while my beloved Chinese survive to fight another day! Down with white supremacy now and for always!!!
Cause they're locking up healthy ppl with sick ppl in tiny, cramped quarters for weeks at a time.
Natural immunity takes decades with a mutating virus I heard.
That just means they built a new version in the lab.
Immunity gap? You mean those that already have the natural antibodies?
All the while they continue to carry on with their eating habits and the way they treat wildlife that they consume,it will never go! Wet Markets still operating barbaric treatment of animals, Karma is doing its thing!
'After months with only occasional hot spots in the country, most of its 1.4 billion people have never been exposed to the virus.' This should read something like 'have purportedly never'.
It's so refreshing to have the self appointed, online medical experts here to help out.
