China’s current vaccination rate is only 10 percent, and Beijing authorities are demanding 40 percent by the end of June. In order to increase the vaccination rate, local authorities are trying to coerce and bully. But folk say they can’t have confidence in past incidents of tainted and fake vaccines, and that today’s domestic vaccines don’t even have data from phase III trials. There are calls for national leaders to take the lead in demonstrating this.
In order to raise the vaccination rate, the authorities have recently launched a familiar public opinion campaign, launching various slogans and advertisements, while also bringing in their imperial experts to stand as endorsers.
Zhong Nanshan spoke about vaccination at the 100th anniversary of Xiamen University on the 6th, saying that the vaccination rate in China is only 9.0 percent, which is too low. “If you imagine that all countries are vaccinated and you open up again in the future, the vast majority of people in China are immune, then it is easy to pass in at this time, China (will) will be outbreak again, that is not good. So we should be very determined in this area of vaccination.”
In addition to public opinion campaigns, small favors have been given around the country to lure people in. A neighborhood in Daxing, Beijing, is giving away consumer coupons, another neighborhood in Beijing is giving away two boxes of eggs, others are giving away tickets to the Yonghe Palace worth 25 yuan, and a vaccination center in Wangfujing, Beijing, is offering “buy one, get one free, ice cream rewards.
But after all, the lure of publicity alone cannot eliminate people’s doubts about the safety of vaccines. Recently, there was a post on the Internet that read, “There were ten cases of poisonous vaccines in the past, and then there was the fake vaccine case of Changchun Changsheng. You’re telling me to get a vaccine without Phase III clinical data? I’m not timid, I have a good memory.” I believe this post speaks to the reasons why many people are reluctant to get vaccinated.
Some netizens said, “If the national leaders take the lead in zapping domestic vaccines, I believe it will be much more useful than five pounds of eggs.”
No one from the country’s leaders came out to take the lead, but in February, officials did claim that Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor had taken the lead in administering the domestic Kexing vaccine, but she was caught by Hong Kong Sham Shui Po District Councilor Lau Ka-hang, who accused her of falsification, pointing out that the Kexing vaccine should be administered with short syringes, while Carrie Lam Cheng Yuet-ngor and other Hong Kong officials were administered with long needles.
If even Lam Cheng refuses to take the domestic vaccine, how will higher-level so-called national leaders do so?
When the carrot alone does not work, the stick will naturally follow.
In Chongqing, a company notice requires employees aged 18 to 59 without underlying diseases to be vaccinated by the end of April, otherwise they will be “held responsible”.
In Yantai, Shandong Province, officials issued a notice on Yantai’s vaccination program, requiring university students and faculty as well as logistics staff to “receive as many vaccinations as possible” and that the vaccination rate in each unit must reach at least 95%.
The people’s hospital in Danzhou City, Hainan Province, informed its staff that those who have not yet been vaccinated need to be vaccinated at the vaccination site the next day, and that “if there are no special circumstances for not vaccinating, serious accountability will be initiated, and the most serious can be up to dismissal”. “must be 100% vaccinated” and “personnel preparing for pregnancy must also be vaccinated”.
Wancheng Town, Wanning City, Hainan Province, posted a notice at the end of last month, requiring “active vaccination of all people to be vaccinated should be planted”, otherwise travel traffic without a car; markets, supermarkets, hotels are difficult to enter; restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other service industries are not allowed to operate; included in the blacklist list according to village rules and regulations, and not allowed to enjoy government preferential policies; future children’s schooling, work In the future, children’s schooling, work, military participation, housing construction, etc. will be affected.
A web article titled “Vaccination is getting weird, please ask the Health and Construction Commission to explain” questions, “Vaccination is a good activity to improve the health of the public, why has it turned into a barbaric act of coercion?” “In the event of danger from vaccination, then who bears the consequences of such?”
