ARE ALL VACCINES EQUAL ?

I think everyone who reads my blog knows that I'm very wary of the CCP. In this respect, it's disappointing that my often researched and considered views are sometimes dismissed as a bias against China; purely based on parochial sentiments. Once, a highly educated professional told me that the CCP and Chinese are the same and cannot be distinguished. This is like saying Trump and Americans are the same, or the PAP and Singaporeans are the same, or UMNO and Malaysians are the same...you get the drift. As laughable as it is, I've long given up trying to convince the haters that the CCP is not the same as China/Chinese. I love the Chinese people (as mentioned before, my family is part Chinese/Malay/Indian) and it's culture and food. I once penned a public article on why the Chinese Malaysian is successful (https://r-tickles.blogspot.com/.../10-reasons-why-puak...). But this affinity is not to be mistaken with my steadfast trepidations of the CCP for it's subtle yet hegemonic (economic or otherwise) intentions. Don't get me wrong, I am in awe of China's progress, advancement in technology, and it's ability to bring development to the masses. I'm not too hot though on it's complete media censorship, failure to allow foreigners a level playing field (eg. Ebay is banned in China but Ali Baba is allowed in, say, the US) and the stifling of personal freedoms.

I suppose the CCP, with it's immense propaganda budget (unofficial estimate says about $5 bil annually!), has indeed succeeded in demonizing the West. It's cyber-troopers (including many "white" mouthpieces who spew venom) have penetrated every known socmed and spin stories daily to "wag the dog": If you tell a lie 100 times, it may stick once? It's exactly what Chairman Mao did when he took over. First, kill the opposition and dissent (perhaps arguably, as high as 60mil Chinese were murdered according to some scholars), then unleash the state machinery to brainwash the population - I must admit, he succeeded. In a recent poll on it's popularity, 93% of Chinese in China, approved the CCP's performance. This was shocking to me....I expected 100% (I suppose, this 7% naysayers will soon be "missing", sent to camps, have their assets frozen and maybe...worse?). The CCP cannot afford another Tiannamen incident. Now, all Chinese in China are pliant.....oppose and you may find yourself in jail, or worse. Just ask Jack Ma what happened to him recently for just saying China's banking system was outdated? The truth can only be told by the Chinese who have left China, not by the diaspora that has suddenly found new enthusiasm to support the CCP blindly as it feels empowered by a sense of parochialism...all over the world indeed! Not all but many.

Before anyone accuses this WION report as another round of CCP bashing, I've checked the incidents the reporter quoted and all are accurate based on available public information. You may also do the same if you doubt.

In summary, this is perhaps why the EU and Saudi, do not recognize the Chinese vaccines for entry. Nothing that comes out of the CCP's mouth, can be taken at face value. This is the CCP's version of "socialism" (aka communism). It's a philosophy that seeks to lull it's citizenry into a false sense of comfort. Not quite the Das Kapital version at all.

On the vaccine, not that AZ has a great reputation either....probably explains why it's the easiest to avail in Malaysia. And even Pfizer, may not be 90% effective as (falsely) claimed. Studies are coming out of Israel where people are being infected even after 2 shots of Pfizer.

In my opinion, all these vaccines are simply stopgap/kneejerk measures. Covid is here to stay, just like measles, mumps and chicken pox...or like the common flu. Perhaps it will come to a time when its necessary for an annual jab (that will make Big Pharma richer)?

We just have to take the necessary precautions and go on with life. Life is very resilient...afterall, humans (homo sapiens) have been around for at least 200,000 years. We have survived the ice ages, volcanic eruptions, major earthquakes/tsunamis, wars and yes, several bouts of similar virus-caused plagues etc. So this virus, as deadly as it is (and I'm not downplaying the danger), will also be overcome by our bodies eventually. The babies born now to Covid mothers ALREADY have the antibody (please research this if you are surprised). Mother Nature/God/whatever you believe in, has a wonderful way of balancing the odds in our favour: Humans will alway win. Only we can destroy ourselves.

And maybe for those who are searching for alternatives to what the mainstream feeds us, Ivermectin (has been around for more than 40 years unlike the Johnnys come lately) is worth a try? Watch the video below.

Do read up and make up your own mind.

Till then, stay safe !
