“It seems that in China, it was just a very, very strict extraordinary lockdown where you lock people in the house but without any seemingly endgame to it,” Fauci said.

As of August, about 86% of people ages 60 and older in China were fully vaccinated and 68% had received a booster, according to a September report from China’s . By comparison, 92% of older Americans were fully vaccinated and 70% had received a booster during that same period.

Fauci said China’s domestically developed vaccines are also not very effective.

The authors of the China CDC report said older people are more skeptical of the vaccine. The clinical trials didn’t enroll enough older people and as a consequence there wasn’t sufficient data on the vaccine’s telegram database safety and efficacy for this age group when the immunization campaign started, they wrote.

Dr. Ashish Jha, head of the White House Covid task force, said China should focus on making sure the elderly get vaccinated.

“That I think is the path out of this virus. Lockdowns and zero COVID is going to be very difficult to sustain,” Jha told ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

WHO says new term decided after consultations with experts.
“Monkeypox” to remain searchable term in ICD, to match historic information.
GENEVA: Monkeypox is to be renamed mpox, the World Health Organization announced Monday, in a bid to avoid stigmatisation stemming from the existing name.

Monkeypox received its name because the virus was originally identified in monkeys kept for research in Denmark in 1958, but the disease is found in a number of animals and most frequently in rodents.
