I'm not sure but i heard which ever the company who developed the vaccine are to distribute it foc as no one should profit from this pandemic. Not sure what is the extend of the free distribution.Operating costs might come from WHO.

In SG. I'm likely to wait for our fw and elderly to have it first unless my company wants to send me go US. 😂

If need to distribute it foc, what's the incentive of developing it?

The fact is today, we have near zero community spreading, most of the cases are either from dormitories or arecimported from weallknowwhere, that is to say that the social distancing and masks is effective enough,  if we continue to put on masks and adhere to social distancing , vaccine  is not necessary,  or not a priority for now. First is these vaccine will not be in the market long enough to be proven, second is all new vaccine  will be expensive, so why bother? Let others test it out first. Meantime, put on masks, wash hand regularly, observe social distancing, don't go out unnecessarily,  relax at home and relax your mind,  don't get stressed out by not having vaccination.

Hoping for 0 community cases so we can stop wearing masks soon!

People in beijing are no longer wearing masks because they have no community cases.

If you aren't an essential worker or elderly, u won't get it first anyway. 

1st batch = high risk country (ie brazil, india, venezuela, africa, including Russia - testbed)

2nd batch = essential worker and elderly 

3rd batch = the KCS Elite waiting in front

4th batch = the wait and see first

5th batch = the layback type and non believer

4th and 5th batch probably 3rd quarter to late 2021?

Zero community will be good and I have confident that sgp can achieve this soon.  But zero spreading or not, i will try to put on my masks as much as I could, now I am getting used to it.

I think the question is not would you get the vaccine.. But is when will you get the vaccine. I think when vaccine is available it mightbe made composury for all people to have.

lol by the time singapore gets the vaccine, millions of humans will have been vaccinated worldwide liao in America, UK, australia, JP and other countries.

SG hasn't signed a deal with any of the leaders yet (Sanofi, J&J, MRNA, AZ). And the one we are funding, is around 4-6 months behind the leaders.

 

It depends on which country develop covid-19 vaccine 1st. The below sequence is i think will happen if any of these countries develop vaccine 1st.

 

If usa develop vaccine 1st..100% they will give it to them 1st and maybe China last or even not giving to China at all.. 

 

If Russia develop vaccine 1st, it could also like America.. Give them Russia people 1st, of coz they are not like America so selfish.. They will share it with the rest of the world after taking care of their own citizens. 

 

If China develop vaccine 1st, I believe China might not give their own citizen 1st. They might distribute evenly.. So maybe every countries might have a set number of vaccine and its up to each individual countries to manage the vaccine. So perhaps end up those essential workers will get 1st or sort of.. China might also focus more on those in poorer countries to give them 1st.

Hmm I believe all the leading pharma vaccine companies signed an agreement. That no premature clearance before the proper phase 3 analysis is done. This is to not undermine public confidence in a vaccine that needs a high take up rate.

This was after trump kept promising a vaccine before the elections. 

Ironically its the people who don't want a vaccine and are hum chi that will likely doom any vaccine to failure. 

If a pre requisite of you stepping out of the country or entering a workplace is to be vaccinated, that may have some persuasion.

Humans are complacent beings. They bet on herd immunity. But if the jokers don't want to do, herd immunity ge lan... And we all know there are many jokers... 

I would find this morally interesting. If you don't take a vaccine, u can't work for a company? Lol if don't take such drastic measures. I doubt you will see 80-85% uptake to reach herd immunity. 

I think G will just make it mandatory for all. I won't visit any countries, at least in the next 1-2 years whereby vaccination is left to individual choice and or an effective cure is developed. 


Given the effectiveness of the vaccine at 50-60%, some of the stupid AM countries where individual choice ranks supreme will continue to suffer but natural will take care of them lah, just in a more protracted and "elimination of the stupid" manner.

I hate wearing mask but i think food handlers and people with bad breath should continue to wear them. It is so much more hygienic. Lol

I think I might let everyone else go ahead first and then benefit from "herd immunity"

This is also what I had in mind.

There's no reason to worry so much if we're following protocols. The virus is real but I think it will also pass just like the others. Right now, it's a matter of dealing and surviving.

I don't understand what is meant by "virus is just a hoax or a diversion"?

Do you mean this Covid-19 is a joke? How do you know this virus is fake?

Conversely, you should also ask how the man on the street can know it is real.

It comes down to having to trust some authority.

UK started vaccination, starting with the 80s.

Let's see what happens next. If they dropped like flies, we'll probably attribute it to old age, they are going to die anyway.  [laugh]
