Blame Game Begins Over Korea’s Coronavirus Surge
I think it is arguable that the government is trying to blame younger people for the current COVID surge instead of themselves for the slow vaccine rollout:
People in their 20s and 30s are complaining of being stigmatized as the main culprits of the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, in which the number of infections among people in this age group is significantly higher compared to during previous waves.
Many young people point out that the government is trying to leave the responsibility for controlling the fourth wave to them while they have been pushed to the back of the line in the country’s vaccination plans.
In recent weeks, public health authorities have urged people in their 20s and 30s to abide by the social distancing guidelines, all the while suggesting that they are the most responsible for the spreading of the virus. (……..)In response, young people have said that they are unable to understand the government’s message because they are the last group planned to be vaccinated according to the government’s vaccination schedule, and thus have lower vaccination rates than other age groups, making them more vulnerable to infection.

LOL, of course the ROKDROP will blame the Korean government. Because A) it didn’t give in to USA’s $5 billion blackmail. B) it doesn’t suck on Uncle Sam’s A-hole as his servant.
You do realize that’s not from ROKDROP, but rather from a Korean newspaper, don’t you?
Johnhenry, tencent can’t or won’t read…
From the recent new reports and government press conferences the overall mood is that the partying and drinking by the twenty and thirty somethings are responsible for the recent spike.
As mentioned previously, a certain Korean right wing Youtuber went as far as to claim that it was a deliberate Korean leftist effort to discredit and control the twenty and thirtysomethings who usually hate Moon and are supporters of the PPP.
(PPP put a thirtysomething in charge of its party, it’s their way of saying that the twenty to thirties age group is important to their campaign to retake the Blue House)
I usually take that guy’s broadcast with a pinch of salt, but from the original article above I can’t help but wonder if there is a bit of truth in what he was claiming.
I blame the 20 and 30 year-olds for the FoUrTh WaVe covid outbreak.
If they pulled these corrupt Korea-destroying politicians into the streets and publicly beat them along with their careerist government official lackeys, the covid outbreak would magically disappear and there would be nothing left to be blamed for.
They bring this upon themselves through inaction.
People need to read less celebrity gossip and more Gulag Archipelago.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”

A lot of people would still have a business and a bright future (less a week of flu) if they had read this a year ago.
Instead, they deserve everything they are getting.
And this is why the elite thinks nothing of the masses… they are too stupid too look around and take care of themselves.
Brilliant use of a brilliant author! It is quite appropos. In the US as well as Korea. Both Koreas…
