They have no shame. Despite being amongst the worst countries in 2020 containing COVID, the Anglo-Americans are now thumbing their nose at the rest of the world about their public health (which is solely due to access to vaccines). The State Department has listed most of the world as a Level 4 Travel Advisory Warning of "Do not travel" (including Canada, Mexico, and EU) and the UK is outright mocking the EU's issues with getting vaccines.If you want to have a laugh, read the "Global Health Security Index". You may have seen this chart trending on twitter a few months ago:
You can laugh at the report here:
I like to add singapore too being Confucian state but that was probably more true 20 years ago or more. When LKY famously praised "Asian values". Now Singapore is closer to western capitalistic society, money money money status status status rules.@Xsizor
Note that Vietnam is also a Confucian state like China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan.
In all these places, when the government makes a "request", people actually listen
I think S Korea and Japan are better. Singapore and Hong Kong are a bit like thisI like to add singapore too being Confucian state but that was probably more true 20 years ago or more. When LKY famously praised "Asian values". Now Singapore is closer to western capitalistic society, money money money status status status rules.
And I am not an expert in south Korea or Japan, but aren't Confucian values over there becoming less and less important.
Wait .
He didn't go there to study/fight the pandemic, he went there to attend a wedding. Worthy of highlighting particularly:
How do you know deaths are not 20000 in India. Its open knowledge that deaths and infections go vastly underreported in India.You say as India is dying now, but like two weeks ago there were like 500 deaths per day in Poland, so adjusting for the population it was like about 20000 in India a day.
And life was normal, no one gives a shit about this virus anymore, and Poles want to fully open the country.
That is exactly why they took so long to buy all the private lands necessary, before Japan could even start building the bullet train for India. Meanwhile Indonesia highspeed railway which is built by China is moving ahead quickly.No, unlike Vietnam, China, North Korea and Cuba (all with public land ownership), India is a capitalist state, building on the foundation of private property (land in India is private) and serving the interest of the capitalists. That's why its ruling class has no interest in saving their masses, even if it can mobilize.
China supplies vaccine raw ingredients to Brazil for the making of the Sinovac vaccine. China is also a big supplier of raw ingredients to India's generic drug industry. How come China is not a leader in generic drugs industry?You know it doesn't really sound like India is the international vaccine juggernaut as claimed. They're just the cheap factory outsourced by the West. If they're dependent on the West for all their raw medical ingredients to make vaccines, they aren't a powerhouse. If all these Western countries are desperate for vaccines from India... good luck with eliminating China from your supply chain. Do you see China's medical supply line in chaos...? And just imagine if China surrendered to adopt their way of doing things. It would be a horror show with the West in charge and no one would know there were better choices.
