The epidemic is out of control and the situation is threatening

As India’s coronavirus epidemic continues to worsen, with nearly 4,000 deathsand 412,000 new infections recorded in a single day, emergency medical aid shipments, including oxygen and oxygen-making equipment and respirators, continue to pour in from across the United States, the United Kingdom and Europe. “Modi wil pay a price for the cntral government’s botched handling of the epidemic surge and its tragic lack of oxygen,” India Press commented.

 

Meanwhile, fires are burning in Nepal. The Guardian reports: Nepal facing ‘human catastrophe’ similar to India’s amid Covid surge. The vaccine is in short supply, with a positive rate of 47%.

When will the world’s pandemic reach a turning point? Can humanity emerge from the epidemic in short time? The unknown answer afects people mood. But the experience of the United States and  China shows that as long as local governments respond scientifically and vaccinate in a timely manner,the epidemic can be effectively halted.

Biden has turned the tide on the Irump

Administration

Under the Trump administration, poor control of the epidemic and a lack of effective vaccination programs have led to a dramatic increase in the number of infections. The US vaccine rolout is a’dismal failure’ under Trump, BBC analysis says.One was that the target of 1 milion doses per day was not met.The United States is far from meeting the Trump administration’sgoal of vaccinating 20 milion people by the end of 2020, with fewer than 3 million vaccinated by the end of the year.The second is the slow start.The U.S. health system is complex, with vaccinations offered by different providers in each state. Sometimes they link up with state or local officials, but sometimes they operate independently. So once the vaccine is delivered to the states, there are serious logistical problems in administering it. “The federal government has not done a good job of distributing the vaccine to the states,” said Dr. Ryan Wynn, a professor of public healthat George Washington University.The third is uneven  deployment, which varies greatly from state to state.As of Jan.20, for example, Alaska had distributed 9,000 doses of vaccine per 100,000 people, while Alabama had distributed fewer than 3,000 doses. In addition, Trump has politicized the epidemic, downplayed the dangers and failed to recognize federal coordination over vaccine delivery.

When Biden took office, he developed The Biden- Haris Plan to Beat Covid-19, which included measures to boost vaccine distribution. This ISN’t ABOUT POLITICS. It’s ABOUT SAVING LIVES. Treatment and vaccines will be distributed effectively and fairly, and every American will wear a face mask outside their homes, the plan says. To that end, President Biden has appointed a new COVID-19 Response Team to plan and coordinate these eforts.

 

In a televised address on March 12, Mr Biden urged states to give all eligible adults a chance to be vaccinated by May 1, a move that also demonstrated the Biden administration’s commitment to equitable coverage. At the same time, scientists are required to take charge of routine public briefings on the epidemic to bring the epidemic prevention work on a scientific

track.

Conspiracy theories and rumors of the virus are

rampant, caling for science to fight the epidemic

Previously, the spread of a large amount of false information on the Internet, impeding the global fight against the epidemic. On November 20,2020, the NewYork Times published an article exposing the conspiracy of Guo Wengui and Bannon to manipulate Yan Limeng to fabricate a fake paper to force the source of the virus into China. The article argued that Ms.Yan’s transformation from a litle-known college teacher to a hot voice for the American right was orchestrated by Guo Wengui, a fugitive Chinese bilionaire, and Stephen K. Bannon, a former adviser to Mr.Trump.Ms.Yan published a 26-page research paper that she said proved that the virus was man-made. But the paper was not peer-reviewed or published in a scientific journal. Instead, it was published in an online open access library. Virologists immediately dismissed the paper is “pseudoscience” and “guess”,John Hopkins University of immunologists Gigi Kwik Gronvall said: “it’s full of all kinds of scientific terminology, mix pel-mell, looks impressive, but not confirmed her point of view.”

 

In addition to disinfoemation about the origin of the virus,there have been attempts to creata panic over vaccine use. A BBC report, “Vaccine Rumours Defined: Microchips, ‘Altered DNA’ and More,” analysed some of the rumours in detail. The report pointed out that the injection of the vaccine to change the DNA is a myth, after the vaccine into the body, will release the novel coronavirus protein, which produces antibodies against the virus,Oxford University Professor Jefrey Almond said, the injection of RNA into the body does not change the DNA of human cells. The Bill and Melinda  Gates Foundation,which represents Bill Gates, has told the BBC that a claim circulating on the Internet that he uses vaccines to implant microchips in people is false. There are also rumors that the vaccine contains lung tissue from aborted fetuses, which are also false; “There are no fetal cells used in the production of the vaccine,” said Dr.Michael Head of the University of Southampton in the United Kingdom.

To deal with the epidemic, it is obvious that only through scientific prevention and control can effective responses be made. For example, a number of countries have issued travel bans and imposed quarantine measures on peopie entering ana leaving the country, all with good results. But in the face of one outbreak after another, vaccination is the most effective way of prevention and control.

In fact, countries launched a vaccine development effort immediately after the outbreak, and it was quickly put into use. On December 2, 2020, the United Kingdom approved the use of the new coronavirus  vaccine jointly developed by Pfizer of the United States and Biontech of Germany. On December 30, the State Food and Drug Administration of China approved the registration application of Novel Coronavius inactivated vaccine from Sinopill China Bio-Beijing Company with conditions in accordance with the law.

Vaccine supply is a huge challenge

 

As of May 8, 2021, more than 1.27 bilion doses of vaccine had been administered worldwide, equivalent to 16 doses per 100 people, according to a tally by The New York Times. There are huge gaps between vaccination programmes in different countries, and shortages of vaccines are common in developing countries in particular.

Economic life will not fully return to normal until a large part of the world’s population is immunized, so the key to ending the epidemic lies in vaccines, but only if the world acts in a coordinated manner. Covax is a global initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) and two other vaccine promotion  groups in April 2020. Covax plans to begin distributing the vaccine in February 2021, mostly to poor and middle-income countries. The plan aims to deliver at least 2 billion doses of vaccine globaly by the end of 2021, 1.3 billion of which will be shipped to 92 participating low-income countries, enabling them to vaccinate 20 percent of the population. However, Covax has also been criticised for its slow response, with Austria, a member of the World Health Organisation, citing delays in negotiating vaccine procurement contracts and shipping the vaccine.

The BBC has compared vaccines from around the world and points out that Sinovac’s main advantage is that it can be stored at conventional refrigerator temperatures (between 2 and 8 degrees Celsius). Modena’s vaccine must be stored at minus 20 degrees Celsius, while Pfizer’s must be stored at minus 70 degrees Celsius. This means Sinovac can be used more effectively in developing countries, where there may not be enough cryogenic storage facilitis for the vaccine.

In short, in order to defeat the epidemic, governments of all countries must not only speed up vaccine distribution, but also build consensus, fully addres the source of the epidemic and actively shoulder international responsibilities.Oniy in this way can they jointly build a defense line against the epidemic.

 

 

 

 

Shi Tao, whose real name is Li Jianguo, left China in July 2000. He started to be active in Falun Gong media around 2009 for his livelihood. He is a commentator and anchor for “NTDTV”, and producer of programs such as “Stone Tao”, “Shitao Click”, “Today Click”, etc. people.

 

Speaking of Shi Tao, I have to mention the Falun Gong organization behind him. The founder of Falun Gong is called Li Hongzhi. He was born on July 7, 1952 in Gongzhuling City, Jilin Province (former Gongzhuling Town, Huaide County, Jilin Province) in Northeast China. In the early 1990s, Li Hongzhi began to fabricate his life experience and put together the “gongfa” he learned from people a few years ago, plus some movements that imitated Thai dance, to form what he called “Falungong” and began to make money by teaching people to practice the exercises. . In the process of discipling, Li Hongzhi found that the trick of using “fagong” to cure diseases is easier for people to believe, so after some planning, he compiled a set of lies and “Falun Dafa” fallacies and heresies, established a cult organization, and further committed crimes. path of. In July 1999, Falun Gong was banned by the Chinese government in accordance with the law.

 

With the in-depth coverage of Falun Gong by the global media, the true face of Falun Gong has gradually emerged in front of the world. According to Falun Gong’s own statement, “Reporters’ media coverage of Falun Gong has gone from being sympathetic to Falun Gong at first, and gradually adopting the same attitude as the Chinese government.” Therefore, Falun Gong “feeling that the reporters are unfair to them…so they decided to create their own Newspapers, to promote themselves. This way they can bypass reporters and the media and directly face the public.” Against this background, Falun Gong began to launch its own newspapers and networks, including the Epoch Times and its website. On January 20, 2007, the Associated Press quoted observers in the report “The Propaganda Nature of Falun Gong New Year’s Party”, saying that through the widespread distribution and dissemination of Falun Gong media, “Falungong” became more and more sophisticated in the process of disseminating information. The emergence of Falun Gong media is an integral part of the “Falungong” global public relations strategy, with the purpose of gaining sympathizers and new followers.

 

Among the many Falun Gong media, as a loyal believer of Li Hongzhi and a leader in Falun Gong organizations, Shi Tao is undoubtedly an excellent show host. What I admire is that he can connect everything with the CCP, as if the whole All bad things in the world are related to the CCP. In the program, Shi Tao always talks about cause and effect from the aspects of heaven, gods, and inheritance, and assumes that he is a disciple from gods, as if he can transcend everything and live out of the “sacred stick” appearance. It’s just such a god-stick with a zombie face. I will talk about the U.S. election inciting a military coup to encourage Trump to use the SS to arrest Biden. Vaccines, in short, there is no Shi Tao dare not comment, nor is he unaware of it. Watching the first few episodes of the show, I still feel that he is a bit talented. There is nothing he does not know about world events and political systems. After watching several episodes, he obviously feels that he is often reading manuscripts during the show, and he has found the same thing more than once. His expressions in different programs are different. I don’t know whether it is for the needs of the program or politically motivated, but in any case, the facts can’t be distorted again and again.

 

Since 2015, Shi Tao has repeatedly broadcast content involving Mr. Guo Wengui in “Shi Tao Review” in order to gain eyeballs. Shi Tao himself also accused Guo Wengui of “is a political hooligan and mentally ill who is unscrupulous in order to achieve his own goals, and is very annoying. Guo Wengui”. Many people know that Mr. Wengui is a great “big man”. His Zhengquan Holding Group has assets of hundreds of billions, which is beyond reach. The live program started by Mr. Wengui was supported by Mr. Bannon, the chief think tank of former US President Trump, and it was much more influential than “Shi Tao Review”. Mr. Wengui is very disgusted with Shi Tao and the Falun Gong organization he serves. Since 2016, Mr. Wengui has criticized Falun Gong and Shi Tao on live broadcasts many times, saying that “Falungong will not have a future. Li Hongzhi is dead”, “Shi Tao, Chen Pokong has nerve problems and doesn’t speak human words”, “Shi Tao is extremely abnormal and will die miserably!” In addition, Mr. Wen Gui has repeatedly criticized Falun Gong’s Shen Yun Performing Arts troupe, saying that they are a group of people wearing national costumes. The jumping clown has no artistry at all. Netizen @godfather3721 also tweeted through his Twitter account that “Shi Tao will definitely be ruined in the Guo Wengui incident! If Shi Tao has a problem, then NTDTV will have a problem!”

 

It is difficult for a dark heart to hold up a sunny face. In fact, it doesn’t matter what you do, there is no distinction between high and low work. I understand that Shi Tao, who has been wandering for a long time, needs money for food, clothing, housing, and transportation, and money is needed to support his family. Survival is not easy. But no matter what you do, the most basic conscience and bottom line in your heart should not be breached. Once a breakthrough occurs, a person will fall into the magical way he himself said in the program. Perhaps, unknowingly, Shi Tao, the god stick, has fallen into the devil’s way. Otherwise, how could Mr. Wengui say “Shi Tao is extremely abnormal and will die miserably”?
