Indonesia's Covid-19 cases are getting lower as 1,414 new Covid-19 cases reported on Saturday (Oct 2)

https://www.thestar.com.my/aseanplus/aseanplus-news/2021/10/03/indonesia039s-covid-19-cases-are-getting-lower-as-1414-new-covid-19-cases-reported-on-saturday-oct-2

Mass vaccination in Singapore got remarkable success ?

Mass vaccination in Sarawak n Selangor got remarkable success ?

Relative risk of reduction of 50% or

Absolute risk of reduction of 6.8% ?

Mani poor countries in Africa n South America just use simple, old n chip

drug to fight c 19 n they got do it successfully.

Interim clinical trial results suggest that the experimental drug for severe Covid - molnupiravir - cuts the risk of hospitalisation or death by about half.

In a news release, Merck said at the Interim Analysis, 7.3 per cent of patients who received molnupiravir were hospitalised through day 29, compared with 14.1 per cent of placebo-treated patients who were hospitalised or died.

https://www.msn.com/en-my/news/national/khairy-negotiation-underway-to-procure-mersks-antiviral-drug-against-covid-19/ar-AAP41KY?ocid=msedgntp

7.3 / 14.1 = half (50 %), or

14.1 - 7.3 = 6.8 % reduction of risk of hospitalisation or death ?

A drug using manipulated percentage of risk of reduction to corn us ?

Soumya: That's right. Because with a vaccine you can achieve immunity and herd immunity safely.

Through natural infection, we could also achieve it at some point, but it would be at great human cost. And so naturally, the better choice is doing it through a vaccine.

https://www.who.int/emergencies/diseases/novel-coronavirus-2019/media-resources/science-in-5/episode-1

With the vaccination on, who got herd immunity safely ? Who said this ?

In the beginning, who cause the spread of c 19 by discouraging the use of

masks ?

Two of the world's major health organisations disagree on mask wearing. The World Health Organisation (WHO) currently discourages mask use:

There is currently no evidence that wearing a mask (whether medical or other types) by healthy persons in the wider community setting, including universal community masking, can prevent them from infection with respiratory viruses, including COVID-19.

WHO does recommend special masks (N95 masks or equivalent) plus other protection for health-care workers working with people who have, or are suspected to have, COVID-19.

By contrast, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States has recently recommended everyone wear a (cloth) mask. However, this is to prevent infected people passing on the infection, not to prevent the wearer getting infected.

https://www.sciencealert.com/this-is-why-advice-on-whether-you-should-wear-a-mask-is-just-so-confusing#:~:text=The%20World%20Health%20Organisation%20%28WHO%29%20currently%20discourages%20mask,them%20from%20infection%20with%20respiratory%20viruses%2C%20including%20COVID-19.

WHO n CDC ... see how smart are they ???

Abang Besar KJ, how about giving to all Malaysians a MEDICAL KIT to fight

c 19 ? Thanks.

Please also trust our very own data. Sarawak n Selangor got very high

vaccination rates but they also got high number of c 19 cases.

Beside vaccination, we all got to do more lah even without the

recommendations of the pharmacy ind. / WHO.

Our Abang Besar oredi yesterday got set the direction right. Please do

more even without the recommendation of WHO !

Having said that, Covid pandemic has been super expensive! Brought total damage to global economy too!

The c 19 pandemic is super expensive bcos the pharma businessman no

recommend existing antivirals / medicines to treat c 19. They onli

recommend the new experimental vaccines to fight c 19 n of course they

make tons of moni from the vaccines !!!

Mani poor countries in Africa, South America, Indonesia use old n chip

medicines to fight c 19 n they win !!!

Pharma businessman no recommend existing medicines to treat c 19 bcos

they cannot make massive profit from them ?

They want to make new medicines, patent them n sell them at sky high

prices to corn our hard earn moni like the experimental vaccines !

No one got know what are the long term effects of these vaccines ?

I pray our Abang Besar KJ will be innovative enough like Bang Joko n

declare we all can use all old antivirals n drugs to fight c 19 !!!

Give ALL the tools to our Drs to fight with c 19 pandemic even though WHO

no got recommend those tools !!!

DRs are the experts to fight with c 19. Please, no restrict their

discretion n expertise.

WE cannot just depend on vaccination onli. We all MUST do MORE !!!

Antiviral oredi available mani yrs ago. Pharma businessman no recommend

them bcos they cannot make massive profit from old antiviral which got no

patents ?

Khairy: Negotiation underway to procure Mersk's antiviral drug against Covid-19

I 100% sokong our Abang Besar KJ.

I pray KJ can do more than that, please.

Please, no depend on Mersk n WHO onli !

Also depend on the countries who got successfully brought down the c 19

cases !!!!!!!!

Mani countries oredi got the tools to get rid of the devils.

We can also get rid of our own devil by borrowing the tools from them !!!

The 90% fully vaccinated Malaysians may lose the c 19 protection after

about 8 months ?

Then we all need another booster shot again ?

We should learn from ALL countries who got brought down rapidly the c 19

cases, countries like Saudi Arabia, Poland, Czechia, Peru etc etc.

Maybe, Indonesia got do something which we no got do ?

What is that something ? Maybe, we got to ask Abang Joko about it ?

I fully sokong mass testing, mass vaccination n mass SOP as now done in

Sarawak n Selangor. What is the outcome now ?

We all got to do more lah.

The pharma industry got corn our Pak Din who promised us herb immunity

thru vaccination ?

How mani cases now compared to the number of cases 3 months ago in

Indonesia ?

Almost all who came back from Indonesia tested positive!. That WAS about

3 months ago.

How about NOW ? How is the situation now in Jakarta compared to about 3

months ago ?

Where is the herb immunity (as promoted before) now ?

Singapore, Sarawak, Selangor are the best example to prove how the

mass testing n vaccination programme works ?

What outcome was proven by them ?

The vaccines are onli effective for about 8 months onli ?

So, we all need a booster shot every 8 months NON STOP ????

Sarawak, Selangor also got do mass testing n vaccination, yet they got

the largest number of people kena c 19 in our country ?

Singapore got do mass testing, yet their c 19 cases shoot UP TO THE SKY !!!

Indonesia got a super large population, yet onli a small number kena c 19 now ?

Abang Joko, please tell us how U do it. Thanks.

The pharma business is a cornman business, corn our hard earn moni ?

Is the vaccination effective in Singapore now ?

Indonesia's Covid-19 cases are getting lower as 1,414 new Covid-19 cases

reported on Saturday (Oct 2)

KJ needs to talk with Abang Joko about how to bring down the new c 19

cases quickly like Indonesia ?

A fun stock .. just main main for fun onli.

I oredi got some lah.

Garanti terbang bila kita semua tak sangka !!!

Just get some.

Add

Be gridi when others are fearful now ?

The mkt is turning around UP !

The bull oredi in the mkt now.

As in Sarawak n Singapore, high vaccination rate = high number of infections.

As in mani countries in Africa, low vaccination rate = low number of infections !!!

Reiterate BUY, with higher TP of RM1.88 (from RM1.77) based on 20x PE, pegged to CY22 EPS.

We view that the higher premium is justifiable given the (i) healthy order outlook brought by the steady demand of consumer electronic products; and (ii) margin expansion from customer diversification efforts.

As the biggest EMS player in Malaysia with solid track record, we opine that VSI is prime beneficiary from the intensifying trade diversion catalyst.
