Communist Party officials announced last week that the country had exposed a cumulative total of more than 30 million doses of the new crown vaccine to key populations, but did not disclose its effectiveness rate or cases of death. In addition, officials around the country treat vaccination as a political task, so there are mandatory or vaccination fees.
The New Crown pneumonia vaccine has become an important tool for countries to control the outbreak. China’s National health Commission announced last Thursday that as of 24:00 on Feb. 3, a total of 31,236,000 doses of the neo-coronavirus vaccine were reported in key populations nationwide. However, no specific answers were given regarding the immunization status of the vaccinated population after the vaccination, whether there were any secondary infections among people, and what side effects the vaccination brought about, among other concerns of the public.
Zhang Hai, a Family member of a pneumonia victim in Wuhan, said in an interview with Radio Free Asia on Tuesday that officials have been doing this for a long Time: “Officials never just announce a number, but they don’t announce whether there are any after-effects of vaccination, whether there are any adverse reactions, and so on. It gives people the impression that it is particularly incomplete. As in the case of Wuhan New Crown victims they report thousands of people, but the questioning of many victims’ families, the real number of dead in the cemetery New Crown, what does this mean, it means not telling the truth.”
China donates vaccines to other countries for free but charges for nationals to be vaccinated
Officials once said that vaccination is voluntary and free, but Mr. Ye, a resident of Huizhou, Guangdong Province, told reporters that the actual situation is not as official: “As far as I know, the system is now free for people to play vaccines, and still must play, not to play still can not. Now I am in the street, see some health said that it is possible to make an appointment to play the vaccine, but are charged, I have friends also go to play the vaccine, but also gave the money, pay for their own.”
Another Mr. Gao, who is in Guangdong, said his local Epidemic prevention department has not yet asked for the vaccine: “I haven’t heard about the vaccine yet, and I haven’t been vaccinated yet.”
Chinese vaccines are charged for at Home, but the Chinese government has generously donated vaccines for free to some developing countries, with Pakistan having received its first donation of Chinese vaccines earlier in the month, and later providing vaccine aid to 13 other developing countries, including Brunei, Nepal, the Philippines, Myanmar, Cambodia, Laos, Sri Lanka, Mongolia, Belarus, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Equatorial Guinea.
For her part, Ms. Liu, a resident of a cultural compound in Beijing‘s Daxing District, said the local area has already started asking for free vaccines: “Every village is going to be vaccinated tomorrow, and the notice doesn’t say that you have to be forced to take the vaccine, but tells you which some diseases you suffer from don’t fight, for free.”
Earlier there are Shanghai and other places enterprise personnel after the injection of vaccine, dizziness, weakness and other side effects, so some people dare not easily vaccination. In response, Mr. Gao, a resident of Wuhan, told the station that the city’s government personnel are subject to mandatory vaccination, but the general public has not been notified: “We are here in the government departments such as the public prosecution and law, many people are vaccinated. The company I work for has notified me of the vaccine, but many people are reluctant to get it. I only know that government workers are required to get the vaccine, and they are not allowed to work without it.”

Local government forcing people to get vaccinated
Recently it was rumored that Nangong City in Hebei Province forced residents to get vaccinated against the new coronavirus, adding that “residents over 3 years old cannot enter public places without vaccination, including riding in cars, going to shopping malls, supermarkets, hospitals, etc.”
A Nangong resident revealed to The Epoch Times that the city has issued the above notice by community text message, “Vaccination will be mandatory for a fee after New Year’s Eve, and you cannot enter public places without it.”
In response, Zhang Hai, a family member of a victim of the Wuhan epidemic, said that some people in Wuhan were notified to play the vaccine and to charge: “Not many people are vaccinated for free, but many Wuhan people are afraid to play. Because we all know that our country imports foreign vaccines, but such vaccines are not given to ordinary people to play. How effective is the domestically produced vaccine and is it safe. Everyone has a questioning attitude.”
Regarding the emergence of compulsory vaccination in some areas, Zhang Hai said that grassroots officials of the Communist Party of China often carry out instructions from higher levels as a political task and with arbitrariness: “Regarding compulsory vaccination, any policy he is just a little bit east, a little bit west, changing a lot, and not very serious to implement, he gives me the feeling that the people do not have the right to choose. “
Zhang Hai said that if the quality of domestic vaccines is good, even if not mandatory, there are many people accept.
