I cannot overstate the horrors I would commit if it would get the United States to enact China’s exact policies.
9/11 every week. I understand that lockdowns can suck, but anyone complaining about periodic lockdowns to prevent spread do not understand the horror of the United States right now. Having a government that functions makes it hard to even fathom how bad it is when it doesn’t, the downsides don’t seem possible.
If China had followed :amerikkka:’s covid policies how many people would’ve died, 4-5 million? If you want to remove those policies, I want you go down a list and pick which 5 million people will die. Oh and the 50 million who’ll have long term disabilities due to long-covid, don’t forget to pick them out too.

Americans consider the old and infirm an economic liability. The "Boomer Remover" was unironically considered a Good Thing when it wasn't happening to your immediate friends or family.
This is just eugenics by other means and Americans would be more than happy to single out 5M Chinese people to agonizingly execute given the opportunity.
By the end, we'd only be sad the number wasn't larger.

It could be even worse - more infections = more mutations
Which makes the US' reliance on non-neutralizing vaccines from Pfizer even... something-er.

Cool, just uncritically parroting the people who've been initially incorrect 90,% of the time thus far.
Covid has been a huge reminder that data driven means nothing.
Don’t forget the impact and strain on China’s medical system.

america never stopped loving eugenics
5.25 million. (1.412 billion Chinese * 372 excess deaths per / 100k people in the US.)
Probably higher though, since the worst areas for covid deaths in the US are the poorest, and rural China is still very poor.
China's population is more urbanized than the US's I would expect more than 5 million if they enacted the US's policies.
