opinionsonly01··on Leaving China
> Singapore locked down from early April to June… 2 months.

Your point? Let's look at the difference.

In China when in lockdown, you cannot leave your apartment, period. There's no food delivery. You rely on the government to delivery food packages to you, if they aren't dumping it. You have daily covid testing, if you test positive you get taken away.

Singapore lockdown, leave home to buy food or see doctor, if you have elderly who are dependent on you, you may go visit them or take supplies to them. If you work in the food industry you can continue to work, including delivery drivers.

Taiwan lockdown, same as Singapore.

> Show me where 6 billion doses of mRNA are being produced every 12 weeks? Then I’ll believe China could have procured them.

I don't understand what part you do not get.

China > Refused > To > Allow > Western > Vaccines > From > Being > Used > In > China.

China had the facilities and rights to produce the Pfizer vaccine in China. It was not allowed to produced and used in China because China did not approve the vaccines for use.

They opted for their own home grown vaccine instead of a western one.

How hard is this to understand?

> Chinese are free to travel to hk.

No they were not allowed to freely travel to HK. There were exceptions for /some/ people to travel to HK.

And it doesn't matter if they go to HK and got an mRNA vaccine as China DID NOT RECOGNIZE IT and REQUIRED you to get THEIR vaccine. Even people in Singapore who needed to travel to China were required to get sinovac to go to China as their moderna / pfizer vaccine certs were not recognized.

They were an option. China refused to approve Pfizer despite having distribution rights in HK/Macau/China, and manufacturing facilities to produce it in China. Instead opting for local vaccines.

You claim Singapore / Taiwan had extended lockdowns > This is false.

You claim China could never secure mRNA vaccines > This is false.

You claim Chinese are free to travel to HK (to get the vaccine) > This is false.

> Again, tics don't automatically mean Tourette's.

And a non-verbal tic doesn't automatically mean it's not Tourette's.

He claimed his is not Tourette's because his are "nonverbal", just because a tic is nonverbal doesn't magically mean it's not Tourette's.

You /assume/ I have no knowledge.

> Tics are sudden twitches, movements, or sounds that people do repeatedly. People who have tics cannot stop their body from doing these things. For example, a person with a motor tic might keep blinking over and over, or a person with a vocal tic might make a grunting sound unwillingly.

> The tic disorders differ from each other in terms of the type of tic present (motor or vocal, or a combination of both)

> I have a tic disorder (not Tourette's, because my tics are all nonverbal).

That's still Tourette's. Tourette's is described as an involuntary movement /or/ sound.

> Melbourne did lockdowns for effectively 4 months

You claimed Singapore and Taiwan has 'extended' lockdowns. I called you out. Now you're back peddling and trying to justify your statement with "but but but melbourne, you didn't mention melbourne and they had long lockdown!!!"

> It didn’t refuse vaccines, you can get them in HK, and Chinese are free to travel to HK.

It does refuse, and clearly you're not from China or you're just lying because China didn't recognize citizens who returned home with vaccines that were not Chinese.

Not everyone is allowed to travel to HK.

So your statement is completely false.

opinionsonly01··on Leaving China
You claimed they had extended lockdowns. That is not true.

I said they had lockdowns, they did not have extended lockdowns.

Please stop spreading misinformation.

Edit: I also reframed for your last comment

> China had the added complication of not having a vaccinated population. Partly due to them having too many people, partly due to their population being skeptical of "Western Medicine".

But since you're defending it. People in China prefer paid western vaccines over free local ones. The CCP refused to allow western vaccines to be used in China for COVID.

Taiwan and Singapore did not do extended lockdowns. They had lockdowns, but we could still order food delivered, still go out to buy food or go to the doctor, and we had constant updates on the number of infections, as the rate went down, restrictions were relaxed.
