If you don’t get the #COVID19 vaccine in Singapore, you have to pay for your own hospitalization. But since Singapore 🇸🇬 has free universal healthcare, they’re saying “we are going to treat you like an American—which is the biggest punishment you can give someone” ~@ronnychieng😳

2) Exact full quote: “In Singapore, being treated like an American in the healthcare system is the biggest punishment you can give someone.” says @ronnychieng. Harsh but sobering for us Americans. Please #vaccinate

3) Please get vaccinated/ get a booster shot right away if you can. It’s critical.

And donate blood if you can as well, if you’re able to. 🙏

4) i recommend you get an mRNA booster if you can. Mix it up if possible but definitely get an mRNA booster over a J&J booster. Data is pretty solid 👇

6) Stubborn anti-vaccine holdouts need to seriously think about not just their lives, and their family’s, but also their pocketbooks. Many even refuse vaccine even after doctors save their lives in the hospital. Insurance premium change?? See 🧵 below.

7) Insurance companies dramatically increase rates for those who are smokers. Smoking is willful. Smoking is responsible for 90% of lung cancers. (Can you get lung cancer if never smoking? Yes, sure, but much more rare). Smoking is a self-made choice that costs lives & money.

8) “In the end, the unvaccinated person has decided to inflict a preventable and unjustifiable harm upon family, friends, neighbors, community, country, and planet 🌎”. Thank you @davidfrum—he’s right— we need to ask deeply who will pay their medical bills. Singapore model^?
