=== Mandatory Vaccination Policy (04:36) ===

[00:00:00]  As many countries around the globe roll out their vaccination plans for the CCP virus, the Chinese communist regime wants to put on another political show to take the lead.
[00:00:10]  The regime's major mouthpiece, the Global Times, ran an editorial on January 27, claiming that China will strive to become the world's number one in vaccination speed.
[00:00:22]  Chinese citizens revealed to the Epoch Times that mandatory vaccination is required for certain groups of people, and they believe mass vaccination is treated as a project to improve China's image.
[00:00:36]  I know of a young guy who is a vendor in a farmer's market near my home.
[00:00:39]  I often buy food from him and ask him to deliver to my address.
[00:00:43]  He told me that every vendor and employee in the market has to take the vaccine, otherwise the farmer's market will kick them out.
[00:00:50]  This policy, take the vaccine or lose your job, is also applied to several other professions.
[00:00:55]  A friend of mine told me that employees at the airport are required to take the vaccine as well.
[00:00:59]  Those who refuse are ordered to go home and their salaries will be greatly reduced.
[00:01:04]  Ms.
[00:01:05]  Xiao, a Shanghai resident, learned from a friend that medical professionals are also subjected to mandatory vaccination.
[00:01:12]  Doctors and nurses must get vaccinated as well as the admin staff and hospitals.
[00:01:22]  It is mandatory.
[00:01:23]  Even if some people are reluctant, they have to obey the orders from above.
[00:01:27]  They will be dismissed or fired if they refuse.
[00:01:30]  In this country, where can you go and what can you do if you try to reason with their authorities?
[00:01:34]  They don't even bother to comply with the law.
[00:01:37]  How can you expect to reason with them?
[00:01:39]  A recent survey targeting medical professionals in Shanghai revealed that more than 50% rejected the vaccination plan.
[00:01:47]  For instance, in Shanghai Ritz Women and Children's Hospital, of the 135 people surveyed, only 33 were willing to receive vaccination.
[00:01:58]  In the Shanghai Dermatology Hospital, of the 735 surveyed participants, only 124 people, less than a fifth, We're willing to get the vaccination.
[00:02:10]  At the end of last year, when the Chinese-made vaccines were still at the experimental stage, Chinese authorities vaccinated over a million medical staff and high-risk groups by granting these vaccines the so-called emergency use permits.
[00:02:24]  At the time, the effectiveness and safety of China's domestic vaccines were both unknown.
[00:02:31]  Many have already received the vaccination.
[00:02:34]  Even if there are side effects, no one dares to speak out.
[00:02:37]  Whoever reveals the side effects will be arrested and threatened.
[00:02:41]  Now the authorities won't tell us exactly how many have been inoculated.
[00:02:45]  They simply claim that their vaccines are 100% effective.
[00:02:50]  Chinese health regulators gave conditional approval to Sinopharm's vaccine on December 30.
[00:02:57]  It was then immediately used for mass inoculation in China.
[00:03:01]  However, on January 5, Chinese vaccine expert Tao Lina posted an article on Weibo, a Twitter-like platform, saying that Sinopharm's inactivated vaccine has as many as 73 side effects, Making it the most unsafe vaccine in the world.
[00:03:19]  Sinovac is another Chinese state company that has developed a COVID-19 vaccine.
[00:03:24]  Its overall effectiveness is only 50.4%, barely passing the WHO's threshold, which is 50%.
[00:03:32]  The CCP's central and local governments have adopted numerous mandatory measures for pandemic control, such as mandatory vaccination and mandatory nucleic acid testing for the target groups.
[00:03:45]  Residents in risk areas were even forcibly transferred to unknown locations for mass quarantine.
[00:03:55]  Of course, everyone must wear a mask.
[00:03:57]  We have to wear a mask when we go shopping or ride a bus.
[00:04:00]  If you try to get onto a bus without a mask, they will call the 110 emergency line and the police will come to arrest you.
[00:04:07]  According to a government report submitted by a Jing'an District Health Commission of Shanghai on January 8, the district surveyed 113,000 people in their jurisdiction, and only 21.2% of residents were willing to receive vaccination.
[00:04:23]  Among the 12,479 people who have received two doses of the vaccine so far, 17 cases of adverse reactions have been reported, including five cases of serious adverse reactions.
