Ten people have died from Covid-19 this month, even as more than three in four people here have become fully vaccinated.
Delta spreads more easily in both people who have been vaccinated as well as people who have not been vaccinated, though those who have been fully vaccinated are less likely to suffer from severe illness.
A preprint Singapore study, found that while all patients had similarly high viral loads for the first five days, this declined more rapidly in patients who had been vaccinated.
Dr Barnaby Young, the lead author who heads NCID's Infectious Disease Research Ward, said it took eight to nine days for vaccinated people to clear their viral load to a point where it could not be picked up, compared to two weeks in those not vaccinated.
The data shows a higher median age of 56 years among those vaccinated, versus 39.5 years in patients who were not vaccinated.
Even if the entire population has been vaccinated, he said Covid-19 will continue to spread, but the illness would be mild in the majority, except for those who are frail and suffering from underlying chronic problems with their health.
Singapore should pump more effort into "Vaccinating more people, not further vaccinating the same ones".
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
