10/24 打擊假消息：伊維菌素(Ivermectin)和疫苗無用
衛生部新聞稿：https://bit.ly/3GpVvbE
Many of the materials published on the “Truth Warriors” website
mislead people into thinking that COVID-19 vaccines are not effective in
reducing transmission rates of COVID-19, and promote the safety and efficacy
of ivermectin in preventing viral infections and treating COVID-19. These
materials are from unverified and dubious sources, and individuals who heed
the advice of “Truth Warriors” can endanger themselves and the people
around them.
2. The Minister for Health has instructed the Protection from Online
Falsehoods and Manipulation Act (POFMA) Office to issue a Correction
Direction to the “Truth Warriors” website for these falsehoods. The website
is required to publish the correction notice at the top of each webpage
containing the falsehoods.
3. The Government takes a serious view of the deliberate communication of
these falsehoods, and criminal investigations will be conducted.
Corrections and clarifications on falsehoods regarding COVID-19 on “Truth
Warriors” website
4. In particular, the website has published false claims stating that:
i. The most vaccinated countries have the most cases and deaths per million
population and the least vaccinated countries have the fewest cases and
deaths per million population; and
ii. Vaccines do not prevent the transmission of COVID-19.
5. These claims are false. As of 23 October 2021, the weight of
international evidence shows categorically that vaccines reduce COVID-19
infection, as well as serious illness and mortality rates from COVID-19
infection. The latest data does not support the claim that countries with the
highest vaccination rates also have the highest cases/deaths per million
population. While some countries with the lowest vaccination rates also have
low reported COVID-19 deaths, this is likely due to poor record collection
for both vaccinations and deaths.
6. While the vaccines do not completely stop viral transmission, vaccines
do reduce the risk of transmission. Vaccinated persons are less likely to
transmit the virus than unvaccinated persons. Furthermore, while the vaccine
on its own does not kill the virus, it is false to suggest that the effect of
the vaccine on the immune system does not lead to the killing of the virus.
The vaccines cause the body to produce antibodies and immune cells that act
against the virus and, in effect, kill it.
7. For facts of the case, please refer to the Factually article “
Corrections and Clarifications regarding content about COVID-19 by “Truth
Warriors” website at https://www.gov.sg/article/factually241021 .
Additional clarifications
8. The website also claimed that ivermectin prevents COVID-19 infection,
and that it is safe and effective in treating COVID-19, even for pregnant
women. MOH and Health Sciences Authority (HSA) are aware that there are
members of the public trying to import or use ivermectin for the prevention
or treatment of COVID-19. Ivermectin is a prescription-only medicine
registered in Singapore specifically for the treatment of parasitic worm
infections. It is not an anti-viral medicine and is not approved by HSA for
preventing or treating COVID-19.
9. Self-medicating with ivermectin can be dangerous to one’s health.
Side-effects associated with ivermectin include vomiting, diarrhoea, stomach
pain, neurologic adverse events (dizziness, seizures, confusion), sudden drop
in blood pressure, severe skin rash potentially requiring hospitalisation,
and liver injury (hepatitis). Ivermectin can also interact with other
medications used, such as blood thinners.
10. HSA takes a serious view against those engaged in the illegal sale
and supply of medicines, including ivermectin, and will take strong
enforcement action against such persons. Anyone convicted of the illegal sale
of these medicines faces a penalty fine of up to $50,000 and/or imprisonment
for a period of up to two years under the Health Products Act.
11. The website also shares user-collated and unverified data on
suspected vaccine injuries in Singapore, citing the “SG Suspected Vaccine
Injuries” Telegram chat as its source. We advise members of the public not
to speculate and/or spread misinformation which may cause public alarm, and
to refer to credible sources of information instead.
12. Please visit https://www.moh.gov.sg for the latest information on COVID-19
and COVID-19 vaccinations. For vaccine SAE statistics, please refer to HSA
and its Safety Updates published monthly. For information regarding
ivermectin and consumer safety, please visit https://www.hsa.gov.sg .

Prudent Use of Scdf Emergency Medical Services and Emergency Department
Services
1. The Ministry of Health (MOH) and Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF)
advise members of the public to activate 995 Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
only for life-threatening emergencies.
2. Between 15 and 21 October 2021, SCDF 995 Operations Centre received about
5,500 calls for medical assistance. Approximately 20% of the calls were from
COVID-19 patients. They were conveyed to the nearest Emergency Department
(ED). Of these COVID-19 patients conveyed to the ED, about 47% received only
day treatment at the ED and did not need to be hospitalised. Additionally,
15% were warded for 2 days or less, and mainly for observation.
3. SCDF 995 EMS caters to the conveyance of both COVID-19 and non-COVID
patients who suffer from life threatening and emergency conditions.1
4. To ensure that the 995 EMS is able to provide responsive conveyance for
those with emergency conditions, we advise individuals who are not
experiencing life-threatening emergencies to refrain from calling 995.
5. Individuals who have tested positive in their polymerase chain reaction
(PCR) test and are recovering at home under the Home Recovery Programme or
awaiting conveyance to a care or isolation facility, but who are experiencing
only mild symptoms, are advised to seek medical help via the following
channels:
a. A telemedicine provider ( https://go.gov.sg/telemedicineproviders );
b. Their regular primary care provider; or
c. The HR Buddy hotline (6874 4939).
6. Those who have tested positive in their Antigen Rapid Test (ART) and are
feeling unwell or experiencing symptoms such as fever or persistent cough
should visit a Public Health Preparedness Clinic (PHPC)
(https://flu.gowhere.gov.sg) via private transport for medical attention.
7. As we learn to live with COVID-19, appropriate activation of 995 EMS and
use of ED services is important. It will ensure that patients requiring
emergency care are able to receive it in a timely and prompt manner.
[1] These conditions include sudden onset of chest pain, breathlessness,
drowsiness or confusion, sudden onset of limb or body weakness, difficulty in
speech, or drooping of the face, severe bleeding from injuries, loss of
consciousness, and unexplained jerking of the body or fits.
