Joss-paper Covid-19 ‘vaccines’ have become a must-have item for Malaysia’s Hungry Ghost festival as the country’s pandemic dramatically worsens. The offerings, which are typically burned during the annual holiday season, often take the form of items people wanted in their real life, like cars, money and houses.
