Ong YK : "We are weeks away where we will have 2/3 vaccinated, then able to more decisively transit to a Covid-resilient posture"

"Hence, after thinking long and hard, we decided we have to revert to phase two (heightened alert). It is most unsettling for the affected industries and the establishments, but we are so close, weeks away, to a stage where we have two-thirds or more of our population fully vaccinated around National Day, and then (we will be) able to much more decisively transit to a Covid-resilient posture."

"Therefore, now is really not the time to risk it all. So we need to bite this bullet, dial back on social activities, and use this time to push through the vaccination efforts," said Mr Ong.

"We know that this news is extremely disappointing and frustrating to many, in particular for businesses in sectors such as F&B," Mr Gan said. "These sectors have been very badly hit given the earlier restrictions, and have been working very hard to adapt to the changing regulations."

"However, when we outlined our plans to live with Covid-19, we also emphasised that we needed to significantly raise our vaccination, and meanwhile we still need to keep infection under control to protect the unvaccinated, especially the elderly. Over the next few weeks, we will make a much bigger push to get our elderly population vaccinated," he said.

Mr Gan added: "I know today's announcement feels like a huge setback to many who have been observing the rules, and doing whatever it takes to keep themselves and the larger population safe.

"We deeply appreciate your efforts. Once we have slowed down the new clusters and hit higher vaccination rates, we would be able to continue with our reopening journey."

UK has achieved 60% fully vaccinated. Guess what..... case numbers have gone through the roof.

Maybe I'm not getting the medical technicalities of this, but if we are mere weeks away from this so called "Covid-resilient posture" (whatever that means), how come the situation is already that bad from a single KTV cluster?

So we are now in this bad situation which will all be ok in a few weeks because vaccinations have hit some magic number to become a resilient posture? So even if we are very close to this magic number all is bad but once we cross this number all will be ok because we are resilient? I honestly don't quite get it.

Not to mention so far none of the countries that have higher vaccination rates than us such as Israel and UK are doing particularly good either.

Ivermectin Roll Out In Slovakia Leads To Sharper Daily Case Decline Than In mRNA Countries​

ByJames Quinn 05/31/2021


Today’s earlier article outlined Merck and it’s history of ivermectin deployment. This article gets in to more detail about its effectiveness in lowering Covid-19 infection rates. According to a recent peer review, ivermectin is effective against the spread of SARS CoV-2 in that it can bond to the S protein of Sars Cov-2 in different areas, thus increasing the repertoire of this incredible compound.

But here is Merck’s statement on ivermectin from February 2021-

Company scientists continue to carefully examine the findings of all available and emerging studies of ivermectin for the treatment of COVID-19 for evidence of efficacy and safety. It is important to note that, to-date, our analysis has identified:
  • No scientific basis for a potential therapeutic effect against COVID-19 from pre-clinical studies;
  • No meaningful evidence for clinical activity or clinical efficacy in patients with COVID-19 disease, and;
  • A concerning lack of safety data in the majority of studies.
We do not believe that the data available support the safety and efficacy of ivermectin beyond the doses and populations indicated in the regulatory agency-approved prescribing information.
-Merck (February 4, 2021)

Ulterior Motives​

Guess who received $268.8 million to assist in the production of Covid-19 vaccines less than a month after releasing that statement? A statement that is taken under paramount advisement by many international organizations such as the World Health Organization and our own National Institute of Health.
Merck was also the first company to to product ivermectin commercially produced billions of doses. They especially administered it in Africa to treat malaria and river blindness. Why were proponents of ivermectin not taken seriously? The data were encouraging over a year ago.

There was only one solution marketed since March of 2021. First of their kind mRNA shots with no information on their long term effects. And they were also hoarded by richer western nations while ivermectin has been administered many billions of times for pennies a dose. To think of the number of lives that could have been saved by handing out ivermectin is mind blowing. What is more that we currently have an alternative prophylaxis for those skeptical of mRNA shots.

There will be an investigation into this. A government can not say there is not enough evidence when the evidence is there. It is a classic “Catch 22.” Governments are hiding behind the parameter of a double blind study or peer review being a prerequisite for consideration. There was ample time to fund both of those events. There could be no emergency authorization of mRNA shots had an alternative treatment been presented.

The critical issue is that Ivermectin and other possible solutions were never taken into consideration. Many trials, including several last year in Argentina, showed that ivermectin could reduce health care workers chances of getting Covid 19 by 84%. But think of what that number means to the additional transmissions prevented by that number.

Slovakia was the first country in the EU to approve Ivermectin for treating Covid-19 (1/28/21). Although they had distribution snags in the first few weeks, we saw a peak daily new case average number (according to Worldometer) of 2,341 in March 4th. Their last day of data (5/30) is reporting 122 cases per day (7 day average) according to Worldometer. This is a decline in daily cases of 94.55% in less than three months in a country where currently only 16% of their population is fully vaccinated.

Heavily vaccinated countries such as the United States and Israel did not even come close to seeing that kind of a drop. Lets compare two month declines. Israel reached its max (7 day average) daily case number on January 14th. Two months later they saw a decline of only 71%. Similar results were seen with the rollout in the U.S. We had a peak number of 255,226 which declined 77.7% within two months. Slovakia, a country where less than one in six citizens has been fully vaccinated, is currently reporting a little over 100 cases daily. Their 7 day average (daily reported cases) dropped by over 81% in two months following the distribution of ivermectin (3/4-5/4). This was a faster decline that any country with an mRNA roll out.
 
This Ong talking cock,then vreakdown the infected to how many of them vaccinated,CB,talk cock
 
What about hospitalisation, oxygen, icu and death rates? How do these KPIs measure pre 60%vaccination and post 60%vaccination

The vaccine has certainly helped prevent deaths and serious cases but it does not bring down case numbers which is the parameter used by the PAPpies to craft their dumb policies.
 
If not very sick SHOULD NOT TEST FOR COVID! Waste of time and resources.
 
This problem very easy to achieve...just mandate all PAP voters last GE2020 must be vaccinated. They can have the PAP voters names and addresses from the serialed ballot papers.

The way the data on the seniors are also confusing. One day, they use percentage figures. Another day, they use real numbers.

I thought LW or someone else said we will look at ICU cases instead to formulate policy? that gave me hope. apparently not.

The time to do that is now. If some old farts don't want to be vaccinated that's their choice but the rest of the country shouldn't have to be locked down just to save these ageing idiots.

fully supportive of this measure. set a deadline for opening up and if not vaxed by then, too bad.

also non-vaxed people after the deadline will be made to pay for their own Covid treatment.

enough of this wishy-washiness. we need some real leadership. someone with the balls to say the buck stops with me if the shit hits the fan upon opening up.

but instead everyone is only interested in protecting their jobs and juicy pay checks. this is the unintended consequence of million dollar salaries... the cost of risk taking becomes too high.
