Doctors call out former NMP Calvin Cheng over uncalled-for attack on GPs after he says they should “stick to looking at common colds”
Mr Cheng was responding to an open letter by 12 doctors that called for children to be given the 'killed-virus' vaccines instead of mRNA vaccines

Following the open letter on 20 May by 12 doctors who called for children to be given the ‘killed-virus’ vaccines instead of mRNA vaccines, businessman and former Nominated Member of Parliament (NMP) Calvin Cheng took to Facebook on Saturday (22 May) to slam the letter as being irresponsible.
The counter, however, had the flavour of an ad hominem attack where Mr Cheng slammed the doctors behind the letter as being “irresponsible GPs”.
“They are general practitioners who got a degree in medicine, who then either chose not to specialise in a certain field, or were not chosen to be specialists. So they become GENERALISTS,” he expressed.
Mr Cheng continued, “They look after everyday illnesses, and once an illness or disease is too complex for them, they refer them to the expert in that illness, a specialist.”
“In this case, the specialists we need to listen to are those with expertise in infectious diseases and vaccines.”
