What's most fascinating about #Pfizer and the #unvaccinated is that is offers a unique insight into a surprising difference between China and the West. You must read this thread 👇
Many people would imagine that #China would be super strict with #vaccines and force it's citizens to get the jab. Interesting enough there is a large amount of #unvaccinated seniors throughout China who are both sacred of the virus, but also scared of the vaccine.
Earlier this year #China announced it would require seniors in Beijing to get the vaccine (Covid cases were surging and unvaccinated elderly were at high risk) but when the news came out, there was huge public backlash against the Chinese government. What did they do in response?
China's government listened to the people and allowed them to remain #unvaccinated. The EU trade commission was outraged and slammed China's government on the decision (they wanted to hopefully see China require vaccines and open borders to do business) but China didn't care
Meanwhile in Canda (the country I lived for the entire pandemic) #unvaccinated were treated as 2nd class citizens. Our prime minister #JustinTrudeau them called them racist and misogynistic extremists. If you protested against Trudeau's mandatory vaccine requirements he enacted a
security law that allowed the Canadian government the ability to freeze your bank accounts and shut down protests. China's government is more strict than most Western governments but it's an interesting case study to see China offer more freedom when it came to vaccines. #Pfizer
