I heard that Chinese are watching the World Cup, seeing all the unmasked fans in the stands, and wondering why the fuck do they still have restrictions?

The rest of the world has moved on, but China is still going strong.

They've started testing one city, getting rid of lockdown measurements there.

Doesn't seem like they're too keen on the WEF population reduction plan, but the Omicron variant seems fairly mild, even in a population that doesn't have herd immunity and with a supposedly weaker (but safer) vaccine.

I hear they're worried about long COVID now more so than COVID deaths. 2-4 M people in the US are out of work due to long COVID, 500k in the UK. Someone on Twitter did a conservative estimate and calculated that 25% of the workforce will be disabled after 10 years.

Seems unbelievable. Could be another scare tactic by the media.

Lockdowns are stupid unless the point is to condition people to accept harsh control. Otherwise they could give everyone hazmat hoods with forced air filters.

Long covid was invented to hide vaccine injuries. It makes no sense why some would get it but not others. Only the vaccines have many versions with different effects.

Well said.
