They haven't heard of idcc perhaps

I think the title is catchy and evokes many discussions, which differentiate the mature, calm readers to impulsive, katak di bawah tempurung readers.

EXCUSE ME..DESPITE GETTING VACCINATED WITH ANY BRANDS OF VACCINES U CAN STILL BE INFECTED WITH COVID 19.. THE VACCINES ONLY PREVENT U FRM GETTING SEVERE SYMPTOMS. GOT THAT? Dont confuse ppl with these kinda headlines laa

KKMPutrajaya What say you?

This was hundreds among hundred thousands. The vaccine is effective.

DrAmarMOH DrAmarMOH I saw a recent Tweet from you, 'the best vaccine is the one you can get the soonest but under 30 should consider Sinovac.' Have not been able to find the Tweet since. But do you still feel those under 30 should consider Sino over others (Pfizer/AZ)?

Some will say the infection is ongoing. Ok so take severe case n death. One each. 2/618=0.3%. 99.7% effective against death n severe Covid.

618 out of 677,000 is 0.09% of Thai healthcare workers got infected despite vaccinated with Sinovac. On the contrary, 9 out of 43 (21%) infections in the Tan Tock Seng Hospital cluster in Singapore were those fully vaccinated with Pfizer. Conclusion: The vaccines are effective.

Chinese are good at making trashy products. No way would you inject anything from China into you

How are those infected medical workers? Are they intubated and in serious condition ? In ICU?

DW news was showing Israel used Phizer and now delta is hitting them hard and despite phizer vaccination they still got infected with corona and severe symptoms not the mild as we are told.

The title of the article is totally irresponsible! '677,348 medical personnel who received two doses of Sinovac, 618 became infected' Take note only less than 0.1% infected n furthermore it was in relation to extremely high risk group.

This kind of news is not helpful. What you mean 'despite'? Don't be like the US propaganda war. ----------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------

Don't write headlines like this lah . You think vaccination literacy is very high in our country is it? Majority won't even open the link to read.

And UK experienced spike 30k cases a day. Sinovac there? U don't adhere SOP, u'll get the virus. Only the affects are lower compared if u're not vaccinated

Pfizer and AZ also a lot infected case, just don't target only 1 vaccine negative news

DrAmarMOH 618 cases of 677, 348 HCWs vaccinated suggest high efficacy for infections. HCWs exposed to high viral loads too. However - important reminder that vaccines do not provide total protection against infections or severe disease.

Very irresponsible headline, ppl paying u to give right message Here it should be 'Sinovac vaccination helps curb infections and deaths' Khairykj should have a word with the editor. See attached msg which gives the right message - vaccine doing it's job

What about the hospitalisation and death rate? If we are to move towards dealing with covid as an endemic, the number of infection should not be the central focus.

Although China has been jabbed 1.4billion doses, doesnt means Sinovac is effective. If sinovac can beat delta variants , long time ago China edi open thier borders.

Media.. stop scaring people. You are supposed to educate readers. Include comparison with other vaccine too. Where is the data? Stop giving half cook information. Dont copy the govt.

Must be ignorant to think one won't get infected after getting vaccination, no matter what brand the vaccine is

Like 0.1 percent ?

cap ayam vaccine?

You still get covid even already vaccinated, educated first

U guys do know what is happening in israel with pfizer right? And even in UK with AZ? Vaccine is not 100% but it could give u good protection from getting severely sick.

anthraxxxx Alah apa bodoh malaysiakini..

...and the MF governments 🚜bulldoze on until humans are flattened into the ground.

Worst vaccines

Stupid article actually..where got 100% perfect vaccine. Can I post about Israel here

Another media scare. All covid vaccine has not proven to be 100%

Indonesia

There is no vaccine that can 100% prevent you from contracting the virus. The objective of a vaccine is to prevent you from getting severe illness and fatality. So what's the intention of this article singling out Sinovac vaccine?

Brazil was example first they use Sinovac vaccine and the pandemic getting worse did not get better. China is cheap but useless. I don't see Malaysia pandemic getting any better for a long time.

HausofHilton doc Nim.. macam mana ni..?

What exactly is Malaysia doing to ensure this doesn't repeat here? DGHisham Some of the elders in my fam got Sinovac. With our healthcare system already collapsing based on what I read here on Twitter regarding the Covid-19 current situation, what happens now? Shocking

DrAmarMOH this was also reported by wion. So how kita yang terpaksa ambik sinovac. We had no choice. We are doing it because we care, better than nothing.

More than news... It sounds like targeted-adversing to scare people off with China products...

Covid-19: Over 2,300 health workers infected, but none had severe symptoms, says Adham BabaPUTRAJAYA (Bernama): A total of 2,341 fully-vaccinated healthcare personnel have been infected with Covid-19, but no one had severe symptoms. Do we have a control group of frontliners to make such claim? “In a clinical trial, the group that does not receive the new treatment being studied. This group is compared to the group that receives the new treatment, to see if the new treatment works.” Vicious cycle. Lockdown to break chain of transmission. But fully vaccinated people get re-infected. We will still be under lockdown even if all 33millions Malaysians are fully vaccinated.
