As an UnV, I should be happy when MOH announced all VDS are removed, but I am more surprised than happy.
Just a few days ago, OYK had just spoken in parliament about an important announcement to be made about V (mandate?) protocol and such but he didn't mention anything about removing VDS at all. In fact, he was blabbering away how UnV percentage is small but non fully V death from Covid infec was higher.... (Well, that's actually not a good argument because non fully V percentage is actually around 20% to 25% during earlier this year.)
After F 1, infec numbers incressed as expected and I was expecting a tightening of measures, imposing V mandate and enhancing VDS rather than removing it totally.
The announcement of removing VDS totally came as a total surprise although I feel that's the only logical and scientific thing to do.
However, if we look at the MOH press release, the title was about change in how fully V status should be defined BUT there isn't any V mandate imposed. The strangest part is that since VDS is totally removed, how many people would be bothered about how Fully V status is determined?
The whole Press Release doesn't seem to be coherent nor making any sense at all.
Even the MSM knew the main Big News is about the removal of VDS totally and nobody was interested to follow MOH headline!
The most intriguing part is that now they allowed the supposedly ineffective Sin V to be used as booster instead of insisting people should only take the P or M!
This Press Release seems to be puzzling apart from the VDS surprise. It looks as if it was put up hastily or last minute changes were made so much so that it doesn't make much logical sense with such incoherence!
It also seems that MOH was very reluctant in withdrawing all VDS measures by giving that "sulking threat" or reimposing all these measures again if situation gets worse.... But that doesn't even make any sense at all! UnV numbers are so small in SG and we need no protection from VDS. UnV plus Uninfec number is even smaller! (Yeah... Look at me!).
There is absolutely no logical basis to keep the VDS at all.
Most interesting thing is that OYK chose to post on his FB about the change in fully V status and the new V etc etc instead of focusing on the Big News of removing VDS!
It seems that he isn't really the advocate for the removal of VDS! Did someone force him to do that?
Most interesting observation is, for such "big major announcement", the Committee in charge of this CV didn't convene a proper press conference. The CHAIRMAN of the Committe abd PM-IN-WAITING Lawrence Wong has not uttered a single word about it.
What's going on here?
Nobody wants to bear the responsibility of asking people and young toddlers from 6 month old to take the V except OYK? It can't be the case that nobody wants to take credit of removing VDS and declare they have led the country back to normalcy by living with CV!
Seriously, I don't know what OYK is thinking by pushing for young kids to take the V when many countries have either quietly stop the V for kids and teenagers or straight away announce a total reversal on V for them!
It is very silly for OYK to take such great risks for nothing... Especially when others are subtlely distancing themselves from this decision. OYK will be made a scapegoat and thrown under the bus if anything goes wrong with such program.
