SINGAPORE: As someone who treats COVID-19 patients, Dr David Lye, Director of the Infectious Disease Research and Training Office at the National Centre for Infectious Diseases , says he has spoken to “thousands of people”, and he always has one message for them: Get vaccinated.
"If you're asking me personally, it would be nice to have compulsory COVID-19 vaccines, but I also understand there are other policy considerations … beyond just the scientific aspects.” It is not just about the science said both experts. Even the measles vaccination was rolled out progressively in stages and took almost a decade to become compulsory, Dr Lye pointed out.
He also raised the issue of enforcement. “If a person refuses to turn up at the vaccination centre, what do you do? You can’t go to someone’s house to give him a jab right?”on Aug 23 that Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine received full approval, after the completion of updated clinical trials with six months of follow-up of a larger clinical trial population and a more extensive review of manufacturing facilities, plans and processes.
In August, the Ministry of Manpower, National Trades Union Congress and Singapore National Employers Federation as well as the Ministry of Health . Under these arrangements, vaccinated employees can be excluded from COVID-19 related benefits and may have to bear related costs of swabs or stay-home notices.
But Dr Lye warned against taking it too far and denying basic services to those opting out: “It is important to remember there are certain essential services … where you cannot say, you can’t come to hospital or take public transport.”
Imagine you have cancer and your only hope is an experimental drug which cost a bomb and not subsidised by Govt. Would you refuse to take it? How is the covid vaccine different? Both can potentially save your life.
arkakuzo Mandatory vaccination is insane: 1. Vaccines failed to stop virus transmission 2. Vaccinated infect vaccinated in Israel, Iceland.. 3. COVID mortality globally increased after mass vaccination 4. Side effects and death after vaccines are serious
Vaccine is just an excuse for failure to contain the increase number of cases. Isn't it funny National Day allowed to go on while Hari Raya the country went into lockdown mode. Isn't it the cause for the spike of cases? Whether they like to admit it or not.
Who exactly are these so called 'experts'? Are they free riders like the men in white? Any affiliation to them? Any conflict of interests?
If we don't use the Hall of Shame strategy, how can we push up the numbers to be the most vaccinated country? Scorecard is everything in Singapore, we open,we try, never mind if you are at risk anot.
another writer that dont use whats in between her two ears.... 🤡
Ranting all the way . Trying to justify.
I have NO problem with a person’s choice not to be vaccinated. BUT I have a problem when they choose NOT to be vaccinated and DEMONIZE the vaccine and spread falsehoods eg ivermectin.
Please respect people's choice...nothing to be frustrated about. Dont be frustrated like the other guy who end up not knowing the microphone was on, frustration can make you say or do stupid things
what happened to the my body, my choice thing?
Infectious disease experts!? Time to admit that the mass 'vaccination' regime was a mistake. As for making the 'vaccine' compulsory ...
THE CALL TO USE THE SWEDISH MODEL to deal with the pandemic in S'pore is unfortunately too late,coz 82% of the entire pop has been Fully Vaxx. S'pore should have followed Sweden before Vax reached 25%, a science study citing 25% as the point when Pathogens start mutating to react
S'porean calling for 'Fredom Day',when vax is 82% better watch UK closely. Vax 82% is putting unprecedented immune pressure on SarsCoV2. This human intervention will bring S'pore into unprecedented territory. Read what this Eminent expert is warning.
I am sorry Experts. Reading the article only talk about Vaccine. No other solution. What about building up our immunity rather than over reliance on vaccine. Vaccine company are not responsible should anything happen to you. We got the Brains and the Facilities dont we? Sad.
These experts were the same experts advising the S'pore govt about the need to hit 50%, after failing to reach herd Immun, moved to 70%, yet now even82%, these experts have forgotten what they said 50%or 70% would do but never fulfilled. They sound more like salesmen than expert
Unbelievable comments from these experts explains why S'pore govt ate making wrong anti pandemic decisions. 🙃🤯
問題是很多人接種疫苗都半年了，抗體不給力了。感染了Delta病毒就會傳染給別人的。
