Reading some of the stories coming out of Kazakhstan, such as this one ex-cop who joined forces with a cop lover to defend the police in the melees of Almaty.

They pulled out a cop and went home. However, their license plate was caught on a traffic camera and they were arrested by the authorities afterward.

The ex-cop was released after being recognized in the station, whereas the cop lover was disappeared after having his hands crushed by hammers. Many such cases.

so basically the thesis of this piece is that China is going to be hit hard by COVID once it inevitably escapes the government's lockdown procedures because so few people have ever caught COVID in China that people don't have "natural immunity" to COVID yet

this immediately falls apart once you understand that "natural immunity" is not a thing and it's insane to try to blunt COVID by catching COVID

It also doesn’t matter since China already has a very high vaccination rate and will probably high booster coverage as well.

Yes, but all the psychos out there want China to have a massive outbreak so millions of Chinese die and it collapses the government.

you know, the vaccine I got actually was Sinovac, the same one that these dipshits keep claiming doesn't count for having a high vaccination rate because it's "ineffective"

and it doesn't matter because I don't need to rely on antibody response if I never introduce the virus into my nose

funny how that works!

They know they're bullshitting. They just want Chinese people to get sick and die for the sake of geopolitical rivalry.

All the study I have seen basically suggestion that as long as you have 3 shots,, you are fine no matter which brand of vaccine you get. Plus the news variants are weaker anyway.

Another thing we can all thank George Bush for.






tl;dr: Bush Administration wanted to offer Ukraine and Georgia Membership Action Plans as an end of term legacy. The French and Germans did not. So they just put out a statement saying "yeah one day" with no plan to do so while royally pissing off the Russians.

incidentally, a few months afterwards Saakashvili made his move on South Ossetia because he thought the combination of Germany saying countries with unresolved territorial disputes can't join NATO and the Bucharest summit declaring that Georgia would eventually become a member of NATO was the West winking at him saying "just resolve these disputes and you'll get in, we promise," but when push came to shove the Russians backed up South Ossetia and the US left Georgia to fend for itself.

China will eventually open up but they also have the leisure still of waiting for a opportune moment, likely after a Omicron specific booster is created and the country undergoes a second mass vaccination campaign.

That said, if they opened now, I doubt it would be any sort of the number of deaths the West saw in the initial outbreak but it would probably be worse than the Omicron wave on its own.

The “natural immunity” thing is a tricky thing depending on how you phrase it, since symptoms can range from a variety of factors (age being the key one). Antibodies developed from previous strains do seem to have some long term production, but it isn’t enough to stop transmission.

Admittedly, I do think some Covid procedures in China do have an economic drag, but the drag out be greater if they just opened up if out a plan in place.

So less of a workplace shooting and more of a weapon heist. I assume he's working with the militias.
