To Iris Koh and her ilk...simple question...have you and/or your loved ones been severely affected with economic issues and/or social issues brought about by this pandemic?
What is your basis for making such statements?
Once there is herd immunity through vaccination, why then should there be a need to return to "social tightening"?
As for the mrna vaccine...like I said in a previous post abv...it might not give full protection from infection...but this should...
Please show me the solid objective science data...
As for Prof Thambyah I doubt he said that a booster jab would never be necessary...what needs to be established is how long the current vaccine regime lasts and remains effective...also taking into consideration the variants and potential newer...
BS...this is all misinformation and disinformation coming from the anti vaxxers...
Show me solid objective medical science data...

Why then are Diphtheria and Measles vaccination mandatory in Singapore?
No doubt Covid vaccine is still very new...but like I keep saying...unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures...
