Achieving herd immunity to fight Covid-19 among Muhyiddin's main priorities as PMKUALA LUMPUR (Bernama): Malaysia is getting closer to its goal of achieving herd immunity in tackling Covid-19 before the end of this year as this had been one of Tan Sri Muhyiddin Yassin's key initiatives as soon as he was appointed prime minister on March 1 last year. Oh please STFU. We all know what he did and didn't do. Rebottling with KJ remember ? While Malaysians wait dying Time to stop misleading people by this kinda fake news! We all already knew achieving HERD IMMUNITY against Covid is IMPOSSIBLE! Hope next PM stop stupid SOP and give effective medical treatment for all patients of Covid. Don’t fully rely on vaxx only!

Vaccination helps reduce mortality and severe infection and hospitalisation. Helps mitigate the disease.
