Contrary to popular world opinion, to be vaccinated or not vaccinated is still the choice of the individual in China. A large proportion of elderly people have a fear of vaccines, which is the greatest hurdle to overcome. They cannot and will not be forced to be vaccinated, thus the extreme measures to protect them. Only education about vaccination may help, but is it too late?

@zhouyou28 you offer nothing, only continued inuendo! Stop discussing problems and start discussing solutions.

@Epistemophilia7 that is the job of doctors, to advise on pre existing conditions. My parents in law are in that position of underlying medical issues, thus we took them to discuss with the doctor, who still recommended the vaccination, thus both were vaccinated to double dose. However, they still fear vaccination, and do not want the booster. This is with Chinese vaccines, which are standard type vaccines, like any other vaccine people get. There has to be an education blitz, to target the elderly to receive all three doses. In Shanghai, i believe on 62% of the elderly population have been vaccinated to the booster stage. So there is a huge potential for deaths, which nobody wants.

@zhouyou28 ah, but the government can order lockdowns and will continue to order lockdowns to protect the lives of all Chinese people. You're opinion will not change that, unless you can offer a better solution.

@dxelson the elderly do not work.

@zhengzhou6194 the elderly are fearful, and many still will not vaccinate regardless. This demographic group is an ever increasing portion of the population, and the virus would kill millions of them.
