Dr Cook said that in living with the virus, Singapore has to expect that the current wave of community infections is not the last.
“Once we relax more measures the immunity from wave one will not be enough to prevent a second wave under relaxed measures,” he said. “We may need to go through two to three waves before eventually we are completely back to normalcy.”
In the meantime, he said that a large proportion of severe outcomes and deaths from the virus still come from a “small fraction of the population who are unvaccinated”.
Moving forward, he said there is a “strong argument” for revoking the privilege of free medical care for Covid-19 for those who have declined the vaccine, excluding those who are medically unable to be vaccinated.
“This group of people is putting immense strain on the healthcare system, and preventing other people who need a hospital bed from getting one, for no good reason,” he said.
Finally! Its coming!
