When COVID-19 first hit, the risk of being infected was much higher than the personal costs of getting the vaccine. In 2022, these considerations are very different, says Duke-NUS Centre for Outbreak Preparedness’ Dr Khoo Yoong Khean.
The fourth COVID-19 jab has been made available for groups of people in Singapore since April, with the updated bivalent mRNA vaccine available to those aged 18 and above since Nov 7.
The bivalent mRNA vaccine targets the ancestral SARS-CoV-2 virus as well as the Omicron variants, such as BA.1, BA.4/5. Because of the immune evasion properties of the Omicron variants, this updated vaccine will have better protection against COVID-19. They remain well tolerated and the safety profile remains consistent with the previous version of the same vaccines, with mostly mild to moderate adverse effects.
With the increase in coverage against the new variants and a good safety profile, the decision to receive the fourth jab should be clear. But official vaccination statistics suggest that this isn’t so.

This person doesn’t need a FIRST CoVID shot.
My youngest was just diagnosed with SARS-CoVID-2 the Monday before Thanksgiving. I told her (17) that since she’s had CoVID now, they have 0 need for the shot as her body already made the anti-bodies to fight it.
When I need medical advice and my dog is asleep, I go to channel news asia or some other random site that knows a lot.
I take care of myself as best as one can, and that’s what I’m sticking with.
I never buy the first model of a new car.
Same idea applies to new medical breakthroughs.
Now, if I had some incurable cancer by current means, I would take some crazy experimental stuff. Not for a cold/flu.
I’m not old, and in excellent shape/health.
4th?
LMAO
I stopped after the first and wont ever be getting another!
I have never been anti-vax, only anti-mandate. BUT, in all that I have heard and read, I do get the drift that the more boosters, the more compromised the immune system. In other words, even if one were to accept the notion that the original “vaccines” were worth it, there is also a law of diminishing returns. I got the 4th shot (2nd booster), was in great shape, and 2 months later got Covid. A mild case, 4 days on Paxlovid and I was fine, but it seemed to confirm what I have just said. I do not plan to get the 5th . . . nor the 6th, 7th, 8th, 49th or 100th . . .
“I feel like I was coerced into getting the first two doses”
Same with wife and I.
We where damn near trapped and prevented travel to and from the mainland unless we submitted to the mystery jab.
Basically blackmail if you did not want to be quarantined for two weeks on returning.
My hatred for the state govmnt cannot be expressed.
Got the covid over Christmas 2021 and recovered.
I say encourage all democrats to get as many boosters as possible
To Khoo Yoong Kheaaaaaaaaan!
liar liar liar pants on fire!
Correct. They didn't need the first, second, or third shot.
Still a pure blood, and will die a pure blood.
My Aunt only needed 3. (R.I.P.)
No shots. Tested positive for Covid twice this year, once on April 30th, the second time on November 2nd. Had no symptoms whatsoever either time. The test on November 2nd was a pre-op requirement to have cataract surgery. They wouldn't accept the rapid home test I'd done that same morning that was negative because I wasn't vaccinated (whatever difference that actually makes), so I had to go to a testing center. I've rescheduled the cataract surgeries for January, and have to take Covid tests three days before each surgery. If I test positive again in January, I'm going to take it as an omen from someone above that I shouldn't be having the surgery at all.
I just don’t want to be a Guinea pig, and I feel like I was coerced into getting the first two doses.
The ones who took the shots WERE/ARE the guinea pigs.
:-(
This is the most absurd pre-op “precaution” I’ve ever heard of.
So sorry you’re having to go through this....just to TRY to get your needed cataract surgery.
I guess this is how they think they’ll pressure people into taking these horrid $hots.....by withholding procedures.
EVIL.
Stupid friends are planning on getting the Pfizer boosters soon. I told the wife to do some research before they take the plunge. The husband, who had never had blood pressure/heart issues previously, passed out during the summer of 2021, a few months after getting the Moderna shots. He ended up in the hospital for a week because he needed to be cut open for surgery for them to implant stents. I never mentioned the possible connection with the shots because I didn't want it to cause friction in our long-term relationship. When the wife called the other day, we set a luncheon date on December 9th. I told her if they don't show up, I'll know they died because they got the boosters.
Forgot to mention, those same friends also got Covid this past summer, so I have no idea why they plan to get the Pfizer boosters. They’re nuts.
I agree. They explained it's a requirement of NY State's Health Department, so that explains why it's nonsensical. They're the same ones who sent infected people from the hospital to nursing homes so they could infect all those people who ended up dying. I had to have a Covid test a year or so ago before they'd perform a colonoscopy and endoscopy. At the time, they weren't requiring "vaccinated" people to have the Covid test before having procedures, and when I questioned it, based on the fact that people who get the shots can still get Covid, pass it on, and die from it, the only response I got from the girl in the office was "I don't make the rules." It wasn't long after that, that the CDC began requiring everyone, even those who got the shots, to have a Covid test before any procedures could be done.
You have made it all these decades after 99 Covid Vaccine shots and boosters, why risk everything, get number 100! Join the 100 Club!
