COVID-19 Singapore: Discrimination Against China's Vaccines Is Too Obvious And Unwise



Whatever the reason/s China's Sinovac and Sinopharm have still been left out of the National Vaccination Program is/are only known to themselves (Singapore COVID-19 Multi-Ministry Task Force). Since the government has not provided any good reason as to why it has stubbornly refused to be fair to those senior citizens who wish to be inoculated with Sinovac or Sinopham, I can only speculate the possible reasons/causes.

There could be several reasons/causes why Singapore government is not using Sinovac and Sinopharm, or any other vaccines approved by the World Health Organisation, other than Pfizer and Moderna. These four are the most likely I think:

1. The Anti-China and Pro-Western political, diplomatic and military standing policies for the past years could have been carried until today, down the four generations of leaders. The continued allowance of the United Kingdom and the United States to make use of Singapore as a military base to operate and show their military muscles in the South China Sea against China's growth and progress, is testimony to this fact.

2. The GIC and Temasek Holdings have invested heavily in Pfizer and Moderna. Therefore, there is a strong inclination and consideration to protect the interests of own investments. Temasek seems to be the key mover and provider of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines in the National Vaccination Program. To the calculation of the millionaire money-minds, monetary gains is more important than the lives, health and happiness of the older Singaporeans.

3. The Government has probably signed a sales-purchase agreement with Pfizer and Moderna that include a clause that it cannot use vaccines produced by other companies, just like the coffee-shops owners having to sign agreement with the Pepsi company not to sell Coke, or with Yeo's not to sell Pokka drinks. This is actually against the Law, Singapore's own laws on monopoly and unfair trades and International Laws.

4. Behind the scenes, someone very powerful, internally or externally, could have influenced the decision-making process either subtly or indirectly. This possibility cannot be ruled out.

Whatever the reasons known to them, there is no valid reason to discriminate against the older population who only wish to be treated fairly and have safer vaccines that are produced in the traditional way, and proven to be effective in many countries that have used them, especially in China and those countries which are not in the grips of Western powers and influence.

In addition, for the long-term national and security interests of Singapore, it is very unwise to antagonize China in this way. China's leaders may be very diplomatic and nice, but they are not soft and stupid. They can easily see through the poorly veiled hypocrisy in the diplomatic front of Singapore.

Furthermore, treating the older portion of the citizens with discrimination and disdain will not do well for the PAP politically. These oldies are the ones that have supported and voted the PAP into power for the last 56 years. To treat them so unfairly, especially regarding their health choice, is tantamount to being ungrateful and treacherous. Such obvious discrimination and ill-treatment will probably have serious consequences in the next voting season to a certain extent, if not significantly.

It is not too late to make amends. Better late than never. Including the Sinovac and Sinopharm in the National Vaccination Program will not only defuse the unhappiness and anger of the senior citizens and help to reduce the overall number of infections and hospitalizations, but may also be politically sound and wise. It will go a long long way for the economy and political stability of Singapore.

Think again.

Obvious and unwise and also defy logic.

Does the success of China's vaccine not proven by their low infections among more than 1.4 billion population? If that is not a proof, I wonder what is needed to open the eyes of those who refused to see but continue to follow the blind leading us into the gutter. Like the blind being led into the Iraq War based on fabricated lies.

Asian North Korea must give up nuclear weapons but Anglo-Saxon White Australia can acquire nuclear weapons

- new defense partnership between the U.S., the U.K. and Australia

Kori Schake, head of foreign and defence policy at the American Enterprise Institute think-tank, said the deal would send a strong signal to Beijing. “It strikes me as an elegant message, a reminder to China that Australia has the technological capabilities and alliance relationships that they could become a nuclear power if the threat China poses becomes so severe,” Schake said. “It [is] also . . . a good moment for the Biden administration to demonstrate its commitment to the security of its allies after the debacle of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.”

The fucking white countries, esp the evil Anglo Saxon breed are threatening China. Russia and many countries around the world and accusing China and poor countries like North Korea and Afghanistan of threatening them.

These evil countries must be destroyed by the covid virus they designed to destroy the non white people. In their depopulation evil agenda, China, Japan, India and Italy were the main targets for destruction.

It is such a nice feeling seeing how the virus is destroying every one of the Anglo Saxon country.

Cannot understand why the SG Government is dead against using the vaccine from China. Is there some arm twisting here? mRNA used in many countries have been shown to be ineffective against the Delta variant, albeit they do prevent serious illness. Chinese vaccines have been used in many countries and are proven to be effective against the Delta variant. So, why does the SG Government not use them for Singaporeans. I think explanation needed here.

Any country that joins the Evil USA, the biggest threat to world peace and stability, the biggest terrorist organisation in the world, is tantamount to be a part and parcel of this Biggest Terrorist Organisation in the World.

Under the pretext of security and stability, and freedom of navigation, the crony small states in Asia and SE Asia are showing themselves to be a part of the Evil USA Terrorist Organisation by involving themselves in the the Invasion and Occupation of Afghanistan, and by condoning the war crimes committed by the Evil USA coalition forces against innocent civilians, women, children and aged. Very often massacred the whole village by their drones and cruise missiles launched from afar in the Guam Island and Diego Gracia.

Singapore media and stupid leaders who sing the Evil USA's Propaganda Theme Song of Terrorism are not getting anywhere except to be seen as puppets and stooges of the Biggest Terrorist Organisation in the World.

Time and tide has changed. Yet those cronies, puppets and stooges are still living in the 80s and 90s. How backwards can they be!

Resting on the glory of past leaders, oblivious to the time and tide of change, thinking that people are still so daft to buy what they have regurgitated, these cronies, puppets and stooges are a shame and disgrace to their country and their party.

Military Targets on Australian Soil Now In Beijing's Crosshair

If the US and the UK help Australia acquire the cruising capability of nuclear-powered submarines, this will effectively legalize the acquisition of nuclear-powered submarines by all countries. This also means the legalization of international export of related technology. As Washington stirs up great power competition, more regions will be involved in rising tensions. Possessing nuclear-powered submarines will become a universal temptation. The world needs to prepare for the arrival of a "nuclear-powered submarine fever."

Australia has turned itself into an adversary of China. It is now escalating its confrontation with China by conducting nuclear-powered submarine patrols that are clearly targeted at China. However, no matter how Australia arms itself, it is still a running dog of the US.

As Australia participates in the US-led strategic siege of China and acts with bravado to show its allegiance to the US, and takes the most prominent position in the US' anti-China strategy, especially by being militarily assertive, then Canberra will most likely become a target of Beijing's countermeasures to send a warning to others. Thus, Australians troops are also most likely to be the first batch of Western soldiers to waste their lives in the South China Sea.

Recently, some in Canberra proposed an Australian missile defense system. Beijing believes this is necessary, because Canberra is intended to send troops to the Taiwan Straits if a war breaks out there. Australian Secretary of the Department of Home Affairs Mike Pezzullo in April warned that "drums of war" were beating in a message to his staff. He said that Australia must be prepared "to send off, yet again, our warriors to fight," according to ABC News. Once the Australian army fights the People's Liberation Army in the Taiwan Straits or the South China Sea, military targets in Australia will inevitably become a target hit by Chinese missiles. Since Australia has become an anti-China spearhead, the country should prepare for the worst.

Nuke Cub Deal Could Make Australia 'Potential Target in Nuclear War'

The US, UK and Australia have announced a new alliance named "AUKUS" to target China, and they even made a deal to provide nuclear submarines to Australia. Such a move will potentially make Australia a target of a nuclear strike if a nuclear war breaks out even if Washington said it won't arm Canberra with nuclear weapons, because it's easy for the US to arm Australia with nuclear weapons and submarine-launched ballistic missiles when Australia has the submarines.

The new alliance of three English-speaking Anglo-Saxon countries is not a surprise as they share closer strategic ties with one another than with other Western countries, and this is why France's deal of submarines was canceled by Australia as Canberra can get the nuclear ones from Washington and London.

The US is using the same approach employed to contain Russia in Europe after the Cold War to contain China in the Asia-Pacific region. Washington is building a NATO-like alliance in the region, with AUKUS at the core, and the US-Japan and US-South Korea alliances surrounding it, and the Quad at the outermost level, because India, not an US ally, can't be trusted by the US.

AUKUS is at the core of the US alliance system to contain China with extreme hostility, and it should not be underestimated. If Donald Trump or a Trump-like president returns to the White House one day, this alliance could bring unpredictable and catastrophic consequences.

The threat and challenge that China is being confronted with are critical and serious. The most shocking and dangerous message about AUKUS is the US and the UK will provide nuclear submarines to Australia. Biden said at the virtual joint press conference with Morrison and Johnson that "we are launching consultations with Australia's acquisition of conventionally armed, nuclear-powered submarines for its navy - conventionally armed."

At present, only nuclear-armed states have nuclear submarines, and a nuclear submarine is one tasked to launch a second-round nuclear strike in a nuclear war. So when Australia acquires such weaponry and technology, the country will potentially pose a nuclear threat to other countries, "because it's easy for the US and the UK to deploy nuclear weapons and submarine-launched ballistic missiles on the Australian submarines if they believe it's necessary, and Biden and Morrison's promises of 'not seeking nuclear weapons' are meaningless.

This would make Australia a potential target for a nuclear strike, because nuclear-armed states like China and Russia are directly facing the threat from Australia's nuclear submarines which serve US strategic demands. Beijing and Moscow won't treat Canberra as "an innocent non-nuclear power," but "a US ally which could be armed with nuclear weapons anytime."

If Australia is allowed nuclear weapons, what about Iran, or even Cuba? A whole can of worms will be opened. And what will Indonesia think having a nuclear armed dog in it's backyard?

And that 'fellow from down under' will be even more arrogant and belligerent in his behavior. Biden could not even remember that dog's name and is now a joke in the global community.

Well, not only the govt is discriminating the Chinese vaccines. There is this academic Colin Koh on twitter sending anti-China tweets and on the negatives Sinovac vaccines,

Another Singaporean academic, William Choong, is cheering on the new tripartite military alliance called AUKUS where US will selling nuclear powered submarines to confront China.

They aren't Hongkies, Taiwanese that are directly affected by China, so what makes these pseudo-white worshippers shill for the white countries. Certainly not about democratic values as they aren't exactly living in one?

These two are part of the gang of four anti China bananas.

As for their motivation, check who is their paymaster.

The white devils are forming gangs everywhere and poking their fingers into every country's affairs and wanting to start wars.

And they accused every country as a threat to them when they are the biggest threat to every country.

They still think they can get away with murders and lies.

Heaven is watching, and the virus is eating them up.
