MOH noted that PPP recognised the inconclusive nature of the publications it cites, compared with its earlier stand.
MOH said scientific evidence overwhelmingly shows that vaccination protects the elderly and medically vulnerable from severe disease and death from Covid-19 infection.
In an e-mail to the media on July 22, MOH said it was aware of the post that also cited a recent publication, titled “Excess mortality across countries in the Western World since the Covid-19 pandemic: Our World in Data estimates of January 2020 to December 2022”, in the same journal. MOH said the Princess Maxima Centre in the Netherlands, which is affiliated with three of the four authors of the paper, also issued a statement on June 11 to state that it would further investigate the scientific quality of the study.
MOH said it also noted that the PPP is now adopting “a more reflective tone and recognised the inconclusive nature of the publications it cites”, compared with its Facebook post on May 29, which claimed that Covid-19 vaccines caused high incidence of severe side effects and, according to MOH, “attempted to draw associations between high vaccination rates and excess deaths”., saying that it “categorically rejects these egregious and false claims” by “these so-called experts”.
“As Covid-19 waves will continue to occur, we recommend that the elderly and medically vulnerable stay updated with their Covid-19 vaccination,” the MOH statement said.The last report on Covid-19 numbers
