tell me, i think there s a really motional reaction to this. the vaccines were the answer and breakthrough infection sounds scary. what do they actually mean? yeah, nicolle, it is the right question to ask. so, number one, the vaccines are our way out of this, we just didn t get enough people vaccinated and the existence of breakthrough infections are a reflection how serious the delta variant is. you can see the breakthrough in cases, 74 cases in cape cod were in breakthrough of all vaccine types. here is the good news, only four people were hospitalized and zero deaths. the positive message is that the vaccine saves us from dying and going to the hospital, and i think what is nerve wracking is that you can give it to someone else if you get a breakthrough infection, particularly an unvaccinated individual who is at higher risk of being hospitalized and dying compared
waves that are deadly. that s why, fareed, it s so important that the world come together and further scale up the mrna technologies. this is our best insurance portfolio against both more dangerous variants which could evade vaccines and against problems with production with many of the other vaccine types. devi, what does this mean, though, for the you know, the m mythical herd immunity? because it seems like even in places like britain, israel, where you have very high vaccination rates, the delta makes it harder for there to be a herd immunity phenomenon if it ever is achieved. yeah, exactly. because it s more transmissible, the threshold we have to cross to have transmission stopped gets higher and higher. some estimate as much as 98% of
however, where there are unvaccinated people, either because they haven t accepted the vaccination or they don t have access to it, delta is going to continue to drive large waves that are deadly. that s why, fareed, it s so important that the world come together and further scale up the mrna technologies. this is our best insurance policy against both more dangerous varniants which could evade vaccines and against problems with production with many of the other vaccine types. d devi, what does this mean, though, for the you know, the mythical herd immunity? because it seems like even in places like britain, israel, where you have very high vaccination rates, the delta makes it harder for there to be a herd immunity phenomenon if it ever is achieved. yeah, exactly. because it s more transmissible, the threshold we have to cross to have transmission stopped gets higher and higher.
PETALING JAYA: Malaysians are supportive of the idea to allow everyone to pick the vaccine that they want but the system must be efficient to ensure that all will be quickly vaccinated.
Many also urged the government to allow private hospitals and clinics to be allowed to administer the Covid-19 vaccine to speed up the rollout of the national vaccination plan.
Facebook user Linda Tee said the proposal should have been in place from the onset of the National Covid-19 Vaccination Programme. @KhairyJamaluddin, yes, let the people choose and please allow them to use the nationwide clinic network to vaccinate communities at a higher speed, she said in response to the report that the government is considering allowing the public to choose the vaccine that they want.
