Covid-19 crisis
Discrimination against the unvaccinated
Maria May said.
Mr Tan
I am not sure if you agree but we look to you for affirmation.
The current discrimination against the unvaccinated is divisive and cruel.
The failure to convince the rest of Singaporeans must surely be the failure of our authorities inability to educate the public, the authorities flip-flop policies (unmask to mask, pandemic to endemic, social distancing restrictions with changing limits, etc).
Perhaps there is a good reason why unvaccinated is waiting for the authorities to finalized their policies.
In addition, the china vaccines are not available in sufficient quantity and there is a dateline before severe draconian discrimination against the unvaccinated.

My view is that those with good reason to stay unvaccinated should be allowed. This has to be decided by a qualified doctor.
The others, who does not have a doctor's certificate, should be required to be vaccinated. If they choose not to do so, they should be discriminated.
However, I do not agree with the restriction imposed on the unvaccinated from entering malls and restaurants. In my view, this is counter productive.
I would, however, require the unvaccinated (by choice) to pay half of the cost of treatment for covid, if they are hospitalized, but not the full cost.
I support the free choice of the vaccines approved by the World Health Organization.

The middle path is always easier but at what cost.
