Stopped reading at “there was a wave of COVID-19 cases as bad as anywhere in the world. (To be fair, this was partly because China did such a poor job of vaccinating its citizens.)”
The author seems to think the injections prevent infection and transmission.
.
After the vaccines killed folks, those folks no longer transmitted the disease - right?
So they halfway worked.
Sorta.

I am back in Vietnam for a while with, alas, a purely English keyboard. The local Chinese population with relatives in mostly southern China say that the Wuhan disease was pretty deadly in some of the areas that their ancestors hail from and that many more died or are dying than is allowed of by the government. I, myself, believe that what I have heard suggests that the virus was designed to attack a particular blood group and that it backfired; and instead of O it went for A or/and AB. The deaths in China may be way up in the millions while the actual deaths in America directly from WuFlu rather than from other causes like motorcycle accidents where the virus was present or from payment seeking deaths from other causes where the virus was present and from the wholesale use of ventilators and Remdesivir that killed so many, are very small as a percentage, about what occurs with seasonal flu.
