We’re covering the events that led to China’s takeover of Hong Kong and good news about mRNA vaccines. A hotel in Hong Kong that became an operations base for Chinese security.Tyrone Siu/Reuters Behind China’s takeover of Hong Kong A year ago, a national security law unleashed a stampede of actions to bring Hong Kong into political lock step with the Chinese Communist Party: arresting activists, seizing assets, firing government workers, detaining newspaper editors and rewriting school curriculums. While the clampdown seemed to arrive with startling speed, it [was the culmination of yearslong efforts by Beijing](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRivL2NP4QqAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDYvMjgvd29ybGQvYXNpYS9jaGluYS1ob25nLWtvbmctc2VjdXJpdHktbGF3Lmh0bWw_YWN0aW9uPWNsaWNrJmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbWJhZV8yMDIxMDYyOSZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNDA3MiZtb2R1bGU9VG9wK1N0b3JpZXMmbmw9bW9ybmluZy1icmllZmluZyUzQS1hc2lhLWVkaXRpb24mcGd0eXBlPUhvbWVwYWdlJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02MTk4NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYNSNONpgv6MuEFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA), The Times reports, a process that began with a single phrase in a dry policy paper: Beijing, the document declared, would wield “comprehensive jurisdiction” over the territory. Interviews with insiders and advisers, as well as speeches and policy papers, show that Chinese officials took action because of growing alarm over protests in Hong Kong; impatience with wavering among the city’s pro-Beijing ruling elite; and their growing conviction that Hong Kong had become a haven for Western-backed subversion.

It’s unclear exactly how long immunity lasts for people who receive vaccines that use mRNA technology, but it could be for years, if not for a lifetime — especially for people who were infected with the coronavirus and later vaccinated. “It’s a good sign for how durable our immunity is from this vaccine,” said Ali Ellebedy, an immunologist at Washington University in St. Louis who led the study, which was published in the journal Nature. The study did not consider the Johnson & Johnson shot, which is made with a different technology. Caveats: The protection is most reliable if the virus and its variants do not evolve much beyond their current forms — which is by no means guaranteed. And older adults and people with immunodeficiencies may still need boosters.
