if a country of more than a billion population can do it...its a shame for 30 million country with such a developed condition, lesser density..admit they cant
Pfizer and Moderna vaccine, which is based on mRNA technology, should have no problem countering new variants. mRNA technology vaccine is very easy to tweak as long as the spike protein of the virus do not change completely.
We tried 3 mths in end of march 2020....& the impact drastic economic collapse & make msia very much poorer loh! It reflect panicky action with no orderly proper sense mah!
The answer drastic Simply shoot is not the best answer mah!
Just like football U cannot prevent your opponent from attacking loh!
U need to do it intelligently, with properly target strategy with offensive & defensive action loh..!!
Offensive is your vaccine & targeted SOP and advance testing & defensive is your immunity and Covid 19 medical health centre and quarantine centre and specific targeted lockdown mah!!
The strategies are plain simple, just speed up the vaccination of the mass population loh!
Pls expedite & approve move vaccine quickly like sinopharm, sinnovac, cansino, sputnik in order to speed up the vaccination loh!
Also to allow the private sector to privately source the vaccine, so that it can be made available to the privately paying customer in order to supplement the govt slow effort loh!
Also to allow private sector, to set up temporary covid treatment hospital & centre to enhance & supplement treatment of govt hospital loh!!
The private sector should be allowed to explore TMC or traditionally treatment as for covid 19 mah!.
Also to allow hotels close down to restart as a covid quarantine centre & treatment centre loh!
Pls invite & allow China to come here to set up covid medical yreatment centre in msia loh!
If u do this well, we will be in the road to recovery very much sooner loh!
the world is currently in a dark tunnel and moving into the light at the end of the tunnel, upon exiting this tunnel a new world awaits all. be ready and be excited for it.
China expected its Sinopharm vaccines to be the lynchpin of the country’s vaccine diplomacy programme – an easily transported dose that would protect not just Chinese citizens but also much of the developing world. In a bid to win goodwill, China has donated 13.3 million Sinopharm doses to other countries, according to Bridge Beijing, a consultancy that tracks China’s impact on global health.
Instead, the company, which has made two varieties of coronavirus vaccines, is facing mounting questions about the inoculations. First, there was the lack of transparency with its late-stage trial data. Now, Seychelles, the world’s most vaccinated nation, has had a surge in cases despite much of its population being inoculated with Sinopharm.
For the 56 countries counting on the Sinopharm shot to help them halt the pandemic, the news is a setback. For months, public health experts had focused on trying to close the access gap between rich and poorer nations. Now, scientists are warning that developing nations that choose to use the Chinese vaccines, with their relatively weaker efficacy rates, could end up lagging behind countries that choose vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna. That gap could allow the pandemic to continue in countries that have fewer resources to fight it.
Economic benefit ...............
“You really need to use high-efficacy vaccines to get that economic benefit because otherwise they’re going to be living with the disease long-term,” said Raina MacIntyre, who heads the biosecurity programme at the Kirby Institute of the University of New South Wales in Sydney. “The choice of vaccine matters.”
Ask yourself if without the sinopharm vaccine, could the situation in Seychelles would be even worse leh ??
Do not let the western media manipulate us loh!
If the western country so concern, why they did not donate pfizer & moderna vaccine to Seychelles in the 1st place leh ?

you dont want to end up as breeding ground for new variants...
do it right when you have choice - Malaysia should go all out for Pfizer , else they are wasting resources and letting them self be experimented
can u get 64m dose of pfizer or not for msia or not leh ?
Even europe they r still scrambling for pfizer vaccine mah!

now that the data is available, it would be pure stup**ty to go for china vaccines
Posted by probability > May 13, 2021 6:14 PM | Report Abuse
or even astrazeneca or any other having lesser efficacy...avoid it...
every drop of efficacy matters a lot on this battle
Malaysia have the money to buy leh....they can afford to pay higher.. the more they pay, the faster the vaccine will arrive..manufacturer will prioritize..
but chose to compromise....and this is ultimate stup**ty
Lets be fair there are also down side in pfizer as in all other vaccine mah!
Do u want the truth or not ah ?

Israel probing link between Pfizer jab & heart problem in men under 30
good..my whole advocation is about govn needing to procure pfizer now fir the whole nation, knowing that full economic & social recovery is not possible with astrazeneca & chinese vaccines..
nothing more - if you are not against above then no need to promote anything here lor..
Good Let me summarise the whole thing understanding here loh...!!
Quickly procure all vaccine required but giving preference to pfizer as the 1st choice loh! .

Although the Sinovac vaccines is reported to have 50 % efficacy, it prevent death and serious complications if the 50 % do get infected. This is based on Results from Brazil and Chile. The other vaccinated 50% when infected will get no symtoms ,mild symptoms or moderate symptoms . Those with.mild symptoms like just a fever will recover within a few days . Moderate symtoms like cough and body ache might take longer. However these infected can spread to others. Sinovac vaccines do help in preventing 50 % of those vaccinated from getting infected and the other 50 % if do get infected, you do not need to go to hosiptal . You will recover.
concern is will economy and social activity fully recover and be like pre-pandemic level when these 50% are still getting infected (though not severe at all)?
even at 10% level....there is a huge risk of delay in social recovery
to avoid these, i see govn must prcure pfizer for the whole nation while they continue with other vaccine vaccination based on availability..
my objective is to have full pre-pandemic recovery
Viruses generally have to follow certain rules if they want to get ahead. Stealth is critical, because these pathogens are unable to thrive and reproduce alone. Instead, they invade host cells and rely on them to, first, decode their genetic information to produce components for new virus particles, next, assemble those components, and finally, release new viruses to infect more cells. If this process causes tissue damage that leads to organ failure, the virus risks perishing along with its host.
That’s why “nightmare” viruses – like those with 90% mortality – thankfully aren’t always very successful. To survive and thrive, a virus must operate like a spy in enemy territory, skilled at passing its genetic material from cell to cell without alerting the host’s immune response.
As we now know only too well, Sars-Cov-2 is far more of a menace, because it can cause severe acute respiratory syndrome in some patients, which may lead to between 1% and 7% mortality.
A successful spy must be a master of disguise, and so it is with viruses: if they want to evade recognition by immune cells, they must change their protein coat frequently. This is achieved via tiny alterations in their genetic material called mutations. The Goldilocks principle applies here: if the mutations are too subtle, the viral coat will be easily identified by existing antibodies, whereas if they are too drastic they might simply inactivate the virus. The mutations that allow viruses to fly under the radar fall somewhere in between. Influenza viruses, which use rapidly evolving ribonucleic acid (RNA) as their genetic material, are experts at this game.
Coronaviruses have RNA genomes too, but they are very large. That means that there are many more opportunities for mutations to go wrong – from the virus’s point of view. As a result, they have developed a sort of “proof-reading” mechanism that edits out mutations – meaning that they change a lot less rapidly than flu does. This is good news for us, and for vaccine development. But we still need more information to determine just how long a vaccine might be effective for.
How does a virus go on to achieve world domination? Getting from A to B is of the essence. Sars-Cov-2 rides droplets propelled by coughs and sneezes to board a new host. This is a more effective route of transmission than that used by non-respiratory viruses like Ebola, and its efficiency is increased if the virus particles are more stable and can survive on surfaces outside the body. This is why keeping a safe distance from each other and isolating patients is so useful in preventing new infections. Sars-Cov-2 also has a lipid-containing coat, so thorough handwashing with soap, which breaks down fats, can stop it in its tracks.
Haha if only the world listen to Trump, covid pandemic already end long ago. Trump suggests 'injection' of disinfectant to beat coronavirus and 'clean' the lungs
