For many years, Singapore thrived under the exceptional leadership of our founding father, Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, and his visionary team. I was one of those who returned to Singapore in March 1975, contributing under his draconian yet benevolent governance.
Today, however, we are witnessing alarming strains on our healthcare system.
In 2020, Temasek, Singapore's government investment company, invested S$330 million (US$250 million) into the German biotech company BioNTech, which was developing an experimental vaccine against the coronavirus in partnership with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer.
What exactly are these mRNA vaccines?
As a WHO consultant, I oversaw the manufacturing and use of novel hepatitis B vaccines in Singapore. These mRNA technologies were initially utilized for targeted cancer therapies and were not originally designed for mass vaccination.
The Pfizer mRNA vaccine originates from the spike portion of the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which has a USCDC patent dating back to May 2, 2004. The addition of an HIV glycoprotein has been contentious, raising suspicions about its implications.
In 2021, mandatory immunization with the Pfizer vaccine commenced, and all employees were required to comply or face dismissal. Since then, I tragically lost 34 of my senior medical staff, including my esteemed aunt and brother. My aunt was infected by a staff member who had been vaccinated with Pfizer, which subsequently led to her death. My brother, aged 86, who received the Moderna vaccine in 2021 followed by two doses of Pfizer, succumbed to COVID-19. During this period, the Delta variant, a spike-focused strain, was widespread.
By 2023, Singapore had achieved a 95% vaccination rate with Pfizer. However, this coincided with the country experiencing a concerning trend of population decline, characterized by an increase in mortality rates and a decrease in birth rates within the highly vaccinated population.
The loss of frontline healthcare staff due to COVID-19 infections in public hospitals and Changi Airport has strained the healthcare infrastructure. This led to overwhelmed emergency departments and GP clinics. To address the shortfall, 400 doctors had to be imported. Despite widespread vaccination efforts in housing board areas, concerns about mRNA vaccines persisted. Doctors who voiced these concerns faced suspensions for allegedly spreading misinformation.
Have the fatalities ceased? Unfortunately, no. Despite the removal of the Coroners Act in May 2023[source], which halted investigations into deaths related to medicines, annual mortality rates and cancer cases have continued to rise.
My colleagues report increases in blood cancers, leukemia, relapses, as well as colon and breast cancers.
Senior colleagues are either retiring or reducing their practice to cater to existing patients, while many doctors are leaving the public sector. The private sector now increasingly relies on younger doctors for replacements.
Are we witnessing the collapse of our healthcare system due to the loss of staff from COVID-19 and concerns over the safety of mRNA vaccines? This question remains critical for Singapore's future health policy and system resilience
