Your "Zero-Covid would only make sense while you don’t have a strong vaccine with good uptake." explains your "China seemed to stick with zero-covid for too long": they "never did get a vaccine that produced a strong and long lasting immune response and refused to import a vaccine."
That is, given the constraints of "Sinovac isn't very good" and "we're not going to import" they were stuck with zero-covid.
- unity1001 4y agoSinovac is good. Almost entire Asia, Africa, South America used it. If it was bad, then everyone would be 'stuck with zero-covid'. Sinovac is not good only because Wall Street wants to sell Pfizer to China and China doesnt want it. Hence "Xi isn't willing to accept VACCINES" nonsensical title. It was either in WaPo or NYT. Literally lying, smearing, corporate hit job that drops one word, 'Pfizer' in order to be able to push it behind the word 'vaccines'. Why Pfizer? Because their lobbyists turned out to be most influential. Neutralizing every single vaccine maker in the West including the mRNA alternative, Moderna. Hence the gigantic campaign that is "China is in trouble". ... Its not China that is losing ~100,000 a year to covid despite vaccination and 'reopening'. Its the US. The US is in trouble.
