A woman who needed to travel urgently allegedly offered $1,000 for someone to queue her spot at a clinic near Tampines Street 91 for the Sinovac vaccine.
Her attempts to get a slot at eight clinics offering Sinovac failed, while a clinic told her it would take her circumstances into consideration and asked her to wait for their call, Shin Min Daily News reported on Wednesday (June 23).
Although others suggested that she join in the queue from 2am, she said: “I have to attend classes, I really don’t have the time to do this."
The woman added that she had registered for both Pfizer and Moderna vaccinations but has yet to get a slot, and needed to rush back to Australia for personal reasons.
Seeing no takers for her initial offer of $300, she increased the amount to $1,000 and finally found someone who was willing to queue on her behalf. The woman, who declined to be named, said she is currently waiting for a response from the clinic.
Similarly, hundreds of people flocked to select private clinics across the island this past week to make bookings for Sinovac vaccinations, according to several media reports.
This comes after the Ministry of Health's announcement on June 16, approving 24 private clinics to administer Sinovac jabs.
For the Little Cross Family Clinic near Tampines Street 91, over 20 people can be seen either lying down on cardboard mats or sitting on makeshift chairs as they wait in line from a video uploaded on Youtube on June 24.
A witness told the Chinese daily that said clinic consistently had a queue of around 100 people over three to four days and peaked at 400 people queuing at one point – with one waiting in line for three days. Police officers were also seen on the ground.
One man told the publication that he joined the queue because he could not understand the clinic's website information on the Sinovac vaccination nor could he reach them by phone. Eventually, despite queuing up, many failed to book a Sinovac appointment as slots were limited.
AsiaOne has reached out to Little Cross Family Clinic for more information.
Singapore.
I see normal people...
Aren’t they giving away toaster ovens?
They should get to Iron Mountain, Michigan. CHYNAMART was offering “free vaccines”.
In Singapore, you could give away a keychain and they’d still queue up for it...
In this and so many other cases, it doesnt matter if it works. It satisfies a bureaucratic requirement for travel to Ausyralia, and in that sense it “works” perfectly well. This woman, who seems to be young-ish, probably has nothing to fear from Covid anyway.
There is the real Covid, and then there is the mass of rules countries have imposed on account of it. Each is a different sort of plague.
There is the real Covid
__________________________
Right. The real covid did not kill 600,000 people in the U.S. in two years.
The real covid killed just 5% of that number in two years.
Which is the same as the FLU.
All this hysteria and control for NOTHING but pain and loss of our freedoms.
Horror Story.
Oh, it very likely did kill 600,000 or right in that ballpark. Overall US mortality (numer of people who died, based on civil records) increased by that much more or less, vs the normal trend in earlier years, including those with flu outbreaks.
Other countries with large Covid casualties, and some that have better civil record systems than the US, like France and Spain, have also seen the same.
You obviously did not get the CDC memo stating the fact of the actual low numbers of folks who died of Covid as opposed who die with Covid. Hint it is around 5% of 600,000.
But I am sure you got the Jab.
Good with your life...
Oh, I got that. The fact remains that a very large, unusually large, number of people died, coincidentally with Covid.
Of, or with? Covid helped along a large number of people due to die anyway? People rarely die of just one thing, its a cascade of things that lead to the final heart failure. And this stuff is not rigorously defined, much less properly reported. Who knows.
The reason to analyze raw death rates is exactly to check and correct medical statistics, to act as an independent second source. And the results of that second source are robust and they apply across multiple countries, independent of whatever foolishness the US CDC is up to.
So, how to explain all these “extra” dead people?
As for “the jab” - I am over 60 and retired and have various health problems. That jab is unlikely to hurt me (I will certainly be dead anyway soon enough) and it satisfies all sorts of bureaucrats around the world who will now keep out of my hair, or more so than otherwise. A very good tradeoff.
Whether these bureaucrats are acting on wise or foolish laws and regulations simply doesn’t matter.
Pregnant women and children should avoid these things though.
“it satisfies all sorts of bureaucrats around the world who will now keep out of my hair”
You can’t possibly be 60 and think that.
A benefit of “the jab” - I had to change planes in Frankfurt yesterday. I would have had to hunt around for a Covid test facility open in Madrid on a weekend (good luck). But because of “the jab”, the Germans were satisfied, and let me through with a smile. Otherwise, go try argue the point with a German functionary following orders.
Not only do I think that, I know that.
Avoid presenting bureaucrats with unusual situations. If it fits their formulas, alles ist gut.
No, Sunshine, you don’t know that. Appeasement does not work with liberals.
When dealing with bureaucracies, you are not dealing with political opinions, or people, in their normal state, but with mechanisms.
They are best seen as a set of physical obstacles that one needs an objective strategy to overcome. Take them as they are and deal. Arguing with them amounts to the same as arguing with a hillside or a swamp.
BS. Total nonsense. Bureaucracies are people and appeasement is never the answer.
You are just pushing the vaccine propaganda. You are attempting to say, “Might as well do it. You’ll have to sometime.”
Screw you and your vaccine.
