Singapore to Deny Free Covid Healthcare to the Unvaccinated

2 min read

Starting from December 8th, the city-state of Singapore will deny access to free Covid healthcare to those who refuse to get vaccinated. The Government will continue to cover the cost of treatment for those who have received the jab or those unable to, such as children under 12 years-old. The MailOnline has the story.

The Government had always covered the medical bills of those who are fully vaccinated, under 12, or medically ineligible for the jab. 

Singapore has one of the highest vaccination rates in the world with more than 85% of the population fully vaccinated. 

But the city-state’s healthcare system is struggling under the strain of a fierce outbreak, reporting around 2,000 to 3,000 cases a day and a handful of deaths.

Those affected will still be able to use regular financing arrangements to cover the cost, such as private insurance…

The Health Minister said partially vaccinated residents will not be charged for hospital care until after December 31st, giving them enough time to get the second jab. 

And medically ineligible patients can from November 15th visit any certified medical practitioner to get an exemption card to prove why they have not had the vaccine.

The Government is also working on an automated system to streamline checks for medically ineligible residents to enter venues without having to show paper documentation.

But the Health Ministry warned unvaccinated residents to minimise their time in the community to avoid catching or spreading Covid.   

The Ministry said: “While we have extended a concession to those who are medically ineligible to be able to dine-in, enter malls and participate in activities where required, they remain unvaccinated and their risk of becoming infected with Covid and/or becoming severely ill remains real and very high.

“We strongly encourage these individuals to minimise such activities and to use this concession judiciously.”

That is actually okay. Most unvaxxed would not step near a hospital if they had covid. Remsedivir and ventilators killing people quickly. Ivermectin costing 6p a pill very effective. Many people already have immunity to sars cov2 and do not need a vaxx because they won’t be getting covid any time soon 💖💖

What is often (conveniently) forgotten by many, especially the media, is that for all its modernity, cleanliness and safety, Singapore is, IMHO, in all intents and purposes a one-party (very) authoritarian dictatorship with very limited human rights – even prior to the Coof.

Whilst I trust Wikipedia far less these days because of the malign influence of The Left in ‘editing’ (or denying proper) entries, Singapore’s entry there isn’t wide of the mark.

Back in Feb 2021 Oxford came out with a study showing that the old blue asthma inhaler cut the risk of hospitalisation from covid by 90%.
So a very cheap and very safe solution was clearly known to ‘the science’ but no no no the vaccines had to be pumped out regardless.

So if I get ill I’ll stay at home for a few days, have a couple of puffs on an inhaler and enjoy my far superior natural immunity.

The Emergency authorisation for COVID jabs is based on them having no NORMAL treatment for it.
As this is better than the jabs and a normal drug it makes the emergency authorisation VOID.

If I thought I had covid19 the last place I would willingly go is to an NHS death centre.
One look at the fact you were unvaxxed would see you sedated and on a ventilator so they could chalk you up as another anti-vax covid death.

The ongoing COVID-19 nonsense here in the United States exists solely and exclusively because our governments have failed to use the correct treatment. They used so-called “vaccines” when Japan has just proven, in less than ONE MONTH, that Ivermectin can wipe out the disease. IVM was awarded the Nobel prize for medicine in 2015. One of the 3 most important drugs in human history: Aspirin, Penicillin, and Ivermectin. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

‘their risk of becoming infected with Covid and/or becoming severely ill remains real and very high.’

How strange, I thought that data from all over the world shows your chances of becoming seriously ill were virtually zero unless you were 80+ with more comorbidities than Boris has children.

So, unless I’m missing something, the great unvaxxed are gradually being banned from society, including hospitals now, but the vaxxed, if we are to believe the MSM, are the majority, and will be allowed everywhere, but “cases” are through the roof. Surely the most idiotic of village idiots will see that the spread of the “virus” will be amongst them, and them alone, despite having their “vaccines” that do not protect them or anyone else? I’m getting so tired of waiting for this bloody penny to finally drop…

me too Helena but unfortunately I am beginning to think that the jabs do something to people’s brains so that formerly unintelligent clear thinking people cannot see what is staring them straight in the face. And I’m thinking that it is a deliberate side effect of the jab – got to be if you plan for people to have 8 of the things.

The caveat is that those currently defined as “vaxxed” (or “fully-vaxxed”) are going to lose this status if / when they refuse the upcoming booster shots. This has effectively already happened in Israel and elsewhere.

A quick list…

* Traditional street demonstrations – probably not.
* Financial support network for those sacked or denied services for being unspiked – a good idea.
* Network for getting hold of credible documents – this will soon be a necessity.
* Mass withdrawals from banks, etc. – that kind of thing? Possibly. Some such actions don’t require a large number of people.
* Stocks of food, fuel, vitamins, medicines – anyone who hasn’t yet thought of this, oughta.

Informal network of the unvaxxed / purebloods providing medical care, home assistance, all the usual domestic services, education, transport etc.
Akin to the number of quiet conversions of garages/ garden rooms into home pubs.
There are quite a few of them.
Home brewed beer / wine being tax free as well.
Its amazing how a quiet withdrawal from the system to set up an alternative can ruin the profit margin of the mainstream.

A very graphic example of this having never been about a virus. Leaving aside the health impact, which I don’t deny, but approximates at worst to bad flu, it provides ‘air cover’ for a fundamental realignment of the relationship between the state and the individual. This is exemplified by ‘vaccine mandates’ and ‘Vaxxports’. In the New World Order, freedom of association, freedom of expression and freedom of choice will be crushed unless we resist. And the time to do that is running out.

Doctor diagnoses elderly woman with a case of ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’

When a woman in her 70s showed up with breathing difficulties at Kootenay Lake Hospital in Nelson, British Columbia, this summer, Dr. Kyle Merritt decided to diagnose her as suffering from a condition not taught in medical school textbooks: “climate change.”

Oh the Heil newspaper! The Singapore government does NOT “cover the cost” of health treatment: it pays for it from its tax take. This is the dictatorship that fines people 300 dollars for not wearing a mask, even outdoors. Basically it will now rob the unspiked of the tax they’ve paid for a free at the point of use state health service. An interesting question is why doesn’t it make vaccination compulsory, right away. But even this nasty little Saudi-Etonian hanging and flogging regime isn’t independent of the globally agreed line.

I’m the leader of a country and I’ve told everyone that the solution the covid problem is for everyone to take a new jab. 85% do as I ask. But it turns out the jab doesn’t solve the problem. Do I ..

(a) admit my solution didn’t work, tell everyone all the measures of the last 18 months are in vain and that the only way out is to let the disease run endemic and weather it as best we can.
(b) blame the 15% who didn’t do as I said.

I read Lee Kuan Yew’s autobiography. One thing that sticks in the mind is how he abolished jury trials for murder. He didn’t think it was right that he might have a pregnant woman on the jury who might decide to vote not guilty rather than take part in bringing about the ritual killing of another person. The very idea was like a slap in the face for him. Another thing is how he said he wanted to have an “opposition party” – but a respectable one, “no riff raff”. You might as well call the “opposition” a government department. Admittedly it’s not the only country like that, but the eugenics-supporting Singaporean dictatorship is even more untouchable in the British media than the dictatorship in Saudi.

Being able to participate in society is a concession that the government makes to its people in Singapore.

Previously in the west, it wasn’t up to the government to decide whether people could be a part of society or not. But the governments of western countries are trying to establish a that kind of relationship with its people, along the Singapore – China model in which the people exist for the benefit of the state rather than the state for the benefit of the people.

That is what is at stake now.

Stuff like this is a surely a wake up call that this is not a confluence of cock-ups in trying to control a virus. Divisive and evil and, even taking the best possible assumption that the Covid ‘vaccines’ are going to help hospitalisations and deaths, will give little overall benefit. Sacrificing basic rights to save the health service is the most optimistic view. Control over citizens for the great reset / depopulation is the pessimistic view.

Beyond the UKSHA data, we have peer reviewed journal articles from Sweden and Qatar saying this.

Maybe there isn’t certainty yet, but there is a real risk that the vaccines have started to increase the risk of an individual catching covid; just saying ‘they are not’ is just living in a land of denial.

I’d very much like to see more in the way of up-to-date analysis on the performance of the vaccines. Instead we only get morsels thrown to us on occasion.

And then you hear that the UKHSA is actually undertaking regular reviews of the vaccines’ performance in the UK — but they don’t tell us but instead only tell us not to misinterpret what little information they do provide.

We’re living in a land where the people with the data are being very selective in what they

In the long term, yes. In the short term, you are 10x less likely to end up in hospital when vaccinated, which should make you pay attention, especially if you’re older and therefore at risk. Denying the vaccines’ effectiveness despite all data to the contrary is just plain idiocy.
