China reports almost as high a vaccination rate as Singapore which has vaccinated 97% of its eligible population.



I forgot which numbers I saw, but yeah their overall rate is high. The problem is that so many of the remaining unvaccinated are elderly, so if they start getting sick they’ll get it bad and overload the system.


Another problem is that the efficacy rate of Sinovac is far lower than that of the mRNA vaccines in preventing illness, although it still drastically reduces severe disease.


Yes, but mostly with CoronaVac and Sinopharm vaccines which apparently are not very effective against Omicron.
