Too bad Science himself isn’t around to explain things to us anymore.

The statement by the US that China is not being transparent with data is just so gross.

It is definitely ironic. Not to mention hypocritical.

Oof. Mathematical models are at it again.

It boggles the mind how foolish we are.

I don't know how familiar you are with Geert Vanden Bossche, but it appears to be unfolding as he warned and predicted.

Mass vaccination with a leaky vaccine in the middle of a pandemic is a recipe for disaster made worse by vaccinating children who are not vectors of the disease and could provide a level of herd immunity.

His scenario was if it didn't stop, there would be mass death. All we have at the moment to back up this claim are figures on excess mortality which still need to be cautiously analyzed.

Strangely enough, I don't think China is living out GVB's prediction. Their inoculation coverage is rather spotty, particularly among the elderly. And most of the inoculations I believe were administered last year.

And I believe they're not using mRNA?

That is correct. SinoVac and SinoPharm are both whole virus vaccines, similar to the seasonal flu shot.
