76-year-old man taking his daily walk around the Temple of Heaven

Chinese authorities are going door to door and paying people older than 60 to get vaccinated against COVID-19. But even as cases surge, 64-year-old Li Liansheng said his friends are alarmed by stories of fevers, blood clots and other side effects. https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292987/DOWNLOAD_Avatar_2__The_Way_of_Water_2022_MP4720p_1 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292987 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292987?avatar https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294069/FREE_Download_Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Onlin https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294069 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294069/?avatar2movie https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292992/4k_Avatar_2_2022_FullMovie_Online_Free_on_123Movie https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292992 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292992/?avatarfr https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295140/DownloadAvatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Fullmovie_W https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295140 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295140/?avatartheofwater https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292573/Download_Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Online_FUL https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292573 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292573/?2avatar https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292578/Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Full_Movie_Download https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292578 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292578/?avatar2here https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294074/Putlockers_Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Fullmovi https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294074 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294074/?avatarstreaming https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295145/avatar_the_way_of_water_full_movie_free https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295145 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/295145/?avatarformovie https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292583/Avatar_2_full_movie_in_hindi_watch_online_free_dai https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292583 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292583/?avatar2theofwatertv https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294079/Watch_Avatar_The_Way_of_Water_2022_Full_movie_free https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294079 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/294079/?avatar2here https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293061/_wAtCh_Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_FullMovie_On https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293061 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293061/?avatar2film https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292588/Where_To_Watch_Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_Free_Onli https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292588 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292588/?avatar2heres https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292593/Avatar_2_The_Way_of_Water_2022_FullMovie_Online_St https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292593 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292593/?avatarathome https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292997/Avatar_2_2022_Movie_Download_Free_720p_480p_HD_Eng https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292997 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/292997/?avatarathome https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293066/Avatar_2_2022_English_Dubbed_FuLLMovie_Download_10 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293066 https://new.c.mi.com/ph/post/293066/?avatarfullmovie https://pastebin.com/LcJtbbSv https://www.geany.org/p/D91sq/ https://pastelink.net/0msmiloy https://ide.geeksforgeeks.org/46283f24-ceee-4a62-86be-f8371631efd4 https://www.bankier.pl/forum/temat_sfdsfdsfdsfds,58251801.html https://mypastelink.com/fh668jqe54 https://pastebin.pl/view/8a5b2bfe https://www.vingle.net/posts/5130592 https://rextester.com/GXVJ99016 https://paste2.org/kIYyp7GJ https://anotepad.com/notes/4n7g6a27 https://etextpad.com/n4znvlqzew https://justetext.com/ho17hDXuXT https://ok.ru/video/5441204718316 https://paste.rs/DdP https://pasteio.com/xGG3t0TtRY3Y https://www.pastery.net/dbepuk/ https://paste.ee/p/LbHDW https://p.teknik.io/IZbXa https://bitbin.it/0D3q5KtK/ https://paiza.io/projects/Ma8s_1sh12kU7iSDDuz-bw https://notes.io/qnHTr https://ideone.com/cPSjbp “When people hear about such incidents, they may not be willing to take the vaccines,” said Li, who had been vaccinated before he caught COVID-19. A few days after his 10-day bout with the virus, Li is nursing a sore throat and cough. He said it was like a “normal cold” with a mild fever. China has joined other countries in treating cases instead of trying to stamp out virus transmission, dropping or easing rules on testing, quarantines and movement as it tries to reverse an economic slump. But the shift has flooded hospitals with feverish, wheezing patients. The National Health Commission announced a campaign Nov. 29 to raise the vaccination rate among older Chinese people, which health experts say is crucial to avoiding a health care crisis. It’s also the biggest hurdle before the ruling Communist Party can lift the last of the world’s most stringent antivirus restrictions. China kept case numbers low for two years with a “zero-COVID” strategy that isolated cities and confined millions of people to their homes. Now, as it backs off that approach, it is facing the widespread outbreaks that other countries have already gone through. The health commission has recorded only six COVID-19 fatalities this month, bringing the country’s official toll to 5,241. That is despite multiple reports by families of relatives dying. China only counts deaths from pneumonia or respiratory failure in its official COVID-19 toll, a health official said last week. That unusually narrow definition excludes many deaths other countries would attribute to COVID-19. Experts have forecast 1 million to 2 million deaths in China through the end of 2023. Li, who was exercising at the leafy grounds of central Beijing’s Temple of Heaven, said he is considering getting a second booster due to the publicity campaign: “As long as we know the vaccine won’t cause big side effects, we should take it.” Neighborhood committees that form the lowest level of government have been ordered to find everyone 65 and older and keep track of their health. They are doing what state media call the “ideological work” of lobbying residents to persuade elderly relatives to get vaccinated. In Beijing, the Chinese capital, the Liulidun neighborhood is promising people over 60 up to $70 to get a two-dose vaccination course and one booster. The National Health Commission announced Dec. 23 the number of people being vaccinated daily had more than doubled to 3.5 million nationwide. But that still is a small fraction of the tens of millions of shots that were being administered every day in early 2021. Older people are put off by potential side effects of Chinese-made vaccines, for which the government hasn’t announced results of testing on people in their 60s and older. Li said a 55-year-old friend suffered fevers and blood clots after being vaccinated. He said they can’t be sure the shot was to blame, but his friend is reluctant to get another. “It’s also said the virus keeps mutating,” Li said. “How do we know if the vaccines we take are useful?” Some are reluctant because they have diabetes, heart problems and other health complications, despite warnings from experts that it is even more urgent for them to be vaccinated because the risks of COVID-19 are more serious than potential vaccine side effects in almost everyone. A 76-year-old man taking his daily walk around the Temple of Heaven with the aid of a stick said he wants to be vaccinated but has diabetes and high blood pressure. The man, who would give only his surname, Fu, said he wears masks and tries to avoid crowds. Older people also felt little urgency because low case numbers before the latest surge meant few faced risk of infection. That earlier lack of infections, however, left China with few people who have developed antibodies against the virus. “Now, the families and relatives of the elderly people should make it clear to them that an infection can cause serious illness and even death,” said Jiang Shibo of the Fudan University medical school in Shanghai. More than 90% of people in China have been vaccinated but only about two-thirds of those over 80, according to the National Health Commission. According to its 2020 census, China has 191 million people aged 65 and over — a group that, on its own, would be the eighth most populous country, ahead of Bangladesh. “Coverage rates for people aged over 80 still need to be improved,” Shanghai news outlet the Paper said. “The elderly are at high risk.” Du Ming’s son arranged to have the 100-year-old vaccinated, according to his caretaker, Li Zhuqing, who was pushing a masked Du through a park in a wheelchair. Li agreed with that approach because none of the family members have been infected, which means they’d be more likely to bring the disease home to Du if they were exposed. On a recent day in Riverside County, Lisseth, a Venezuelan immigrant, decorated a Christmas tree for her 11-year-old daughter, who adores the holiday and lives in the state of Bolívar in eastern Venezuela. The 45-year-old mother of three hasn’t seen her children in nearly five years, but she’d just received news that U.S. immigration officials had approved her children’s applications to travel from Venezuela to join her permanently in the United States. Perhaps they’d make it in time for Christmas. “All I need now are my three angels by my side,” Lisseth told herself when she finished trimming the tree. Lisseth says she has another guardian angel: Tim Jones, a retired Riverside schoolteacher and journalist who is sponsoring her and her family’s relocation to the United States. On the same day, more than 1,500 miles away in Matamoros, Mexico, another Venezuelan immigrant, Kerlyn Mora, walked the streets in search of a warm blanket. Cold and wet from the relentless rain, she knocked on doors, begging strangers for whatever they could give. The 43-year-old, who left her 16-year-old daughter with her father in Venezuela, had been stuck in the border town for more than a month after U.S. border officials removed her to Mexico despite her asylum plea. “I hope I can find someone to give me something to keep me warm tonight,” she told herself. “I’m just so glad I didn’t bring my daughter to this.” Lisseth and Mora both are fleeing Venezuela’s broken economy and authoritarian government. Both want to provide for their families. Both seek refuge in the U.S.
