From Dr. David Lye :
“My insomnia got worse!
It is hard being an infectious disease doctor in a pandemic.
I need a few cups of strong Kopi O.
The same small group of doctors (if you compare the now infamous letter by the group of 12 you will see three common names and can draw your own conclusion on the mastermind) is at it again misleading and misinforming the public!
They don’t tell you the risk benefit conclusion by US CDC presented at the same meeting.
They don’t tell you what may happen if Delta variant sweeps through our children in massive outbreaks and overwhelms our hospitals; see peer-reviewed meta-analysis of 129 studies from 31 countries involving >10,000 children where reported rates of intensive care admission 22.9% and death occurred in 3.6%.
We are lucky so far as we have very few children infected before Delta variant.
MOH has worked very hard on safe distancing and mask wearing, and aggressive test and trace, with quarantine and isolation.
There are very few effective treatments for children with COVID, unlike for adults.
Vaccination is the main protection for our kids.
They made up their own story about the unfortunate death of a child in US; the report did not say anything about heart failure and stated that investigation into the cause is under way.
Israel which was initially not recommending vaccination in children has now rushed to vaccinate children as Delta caused school outbreaks.
Did we not have school outbreaks?
While our government strives to protect our children, these doctors are telling us to stop?!?!
These doctors really should tell us their true motive in repeatedly calling to stop mRNA vaccination.
Clearly they are selective in promoting certain information.
They do not represent the majority of doctors.
Authorities including US FDA and CDC, and our HSA and MOH have highlighted the slight excess risk, explained risk benefit and advised counter measures (i.e. avoid exercise for a week, and see doctors if unwell).
The following statement has been co-signed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP), American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG), American College of Physicians (ACP), American Heart Association, American Hospital Association (AHA), American Medical Association (AMA), American Nurses Association (ANA), American Public Health Association (APHA), Association of Public Health Laboratories, Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), Big Cities Health Coalition, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, Infectious Diseases Society of America, and National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO):
“As physicians, nurses, public health and health care professionals, and, for many of us, parents, we understand the significant interest many Americans have in the safety of the COVID-19 vaccines, especially for younger people. Today, the CDC Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) met to discuss the latest data on reports of mild cases of inflammation of the heart muscle and surrounding tissue called myocarditis and pericarditis following COVID-19 vaccination among younger people.
“The facts are clear: this is an extremely rare side effect, and only an exceedingly small number of people will experience it after vaccination. Importantly, for the young people who do, most cases are mild, and individuals recover often on their own or with minimal treatment. In addition, we know that myocarditis and pericarditis are much more common if you get COVID-19, and the risks to the heart from COVID-19 infection can be more severe.
“The vaccines are safe and effective, and they prevent COVID-19 illness. They will help protect you and your family and keep your community safe. We strongly encourage everyone age 12 and older who are eligible to receive the vaccine under Emergency Use Authorization to get vaccinated, as the benefits of vaccination far outweigh any harm. Especially with the troubling Delta variant increasingly circulating, and more readily impacting younger people, the risks of being unvaccinated are far greater than any rare side effects from the vaccines. If you get COVID-19, you could get severely ill and be hospitalized or even die. Even if your infection is mild, you or your child could face long-term symptoms following COVID-19 infection such as neurological problems or diminished lung function.”
“We recommend getting vaccinated right away if you haven’t yet. It is the best way to protect yourself, your loved ones, your community, and to return to a more normal lifestyle safely and quickly.”
