Well in case of China, I think "a bit manipulated" is a very generous euphemism. Just considering the size of China´s population, the fact that it probably originated there and that they were first trying to cover it up and they still report just some 84k cases? Ridiculous...

Forced vaccination is something I fear too. That would be yet another nail in the free world´s coffin...

A bunch of my friends also think they contracted the virus months before the official pandemic. Who knows where and when it really originated...
