China announced that no students will be allowed back in schools unless

their entire family has been vaccinated and there will be no entry to supermarkets, etc. if folks have not been vaccinated.

Students will not be allowed back in school in September unless their entire family is fully vaccinated, some local governments in China have said.

Several cities also said people needed to be vaccinated to enter public venues such as hospitals and supermarkets.

China joins other including France and Greece, which have made jabs mandatory in some sectors.

China has set a national target of inoculating 64% of its population by the end of the year.

"Those who are not yet inoculated should hurry and get jabbed to avoid affecting your child's return to school," read a notice posted in Guangxi province earlier this week, adding that this ruling applied to students of all ages.



Good.
France has pretty much stated the same. Indeed over one million French folks wanted vaccines the same day they were told no vaccine...no entry to every place that matters to them.

More than one million people in France booked appointments to receive a COVID-19 vaccine in a record-breaking sixteen hours since the country's president said you would need one to eat at a restaurant.

The main website used to book vaccine appointments, Doctolib, said a record of about 1.3 million people had scheduled an appointment since Emmanuel Macron's speech on Monday evening.

Since mid-June, the daily number of appointments scheduled via the site has been under 200,000 following a surge in May when vaccination became available to more age groups.

The rush to get a dose comes after President Macron said it would be mandatory for all health professionals to receive a jab by September.

They are disgusting shit and given the chance will bring the US down to nothing. They seriously are a demented bunch and education makes no difference. And the GOP has now become also the lunatic fringe of the US.

This is their plan. Force us back into a panicked lockdown, tank the markets and then blame Biden for not having a magic wand.
I think that they will eventually cooperate on the budget and ALL of the money we want to spend to help the people, and then use the un-vaxed and corona surge to crash the economy, leaving the "socialists" holding the bag.

Hope I am wrong... JMHO.

They've done it so many times, going back to at least Herbert Hoover.

they meet their objective. What a really twisted bunch of humanity ... and using humanity to describe them is a stretch.
