It’s wild that the PRC is somehow authoritarian enough to have Uighurs in gulags and shut all of Shanghai down for weeks but can’t manage to run a mass vaccination campaign. https://t.co/QGrP1ayPtx

A rare backdown. Beijing cancels China's first Covid vaccine mandate after less than 48 hours. The capital's residents had called the requirement an illegal limitation on their freedom and questioned how effective the vaccines are against omicron. 3/10

Environmentalists stop shutting down carbon-free nuclear power and replacing it with coal challenge
Mark Lynas @mark_lynas
It's over for nuclear in Germany. The SDP-Green coalition has won a vote in the Bundestag backing more coal burning so that the three remaining nuclear plants can be switched off as planned this year. Climate targets may have to be abandoned as a result.
