In the light of contradictory information or arguments on the pros and cons of Covid-19 vaccination, the blogger sought the advice from his most learned friend the Great Sifu, Dr. JB Lim whether senior citizens say of the age of 65 and above should take the vaccination or not. His kind reply on 24/1/2021 is as follows:
This issue has been going on and on, debated again and again by so many experts each giving different opinion.
I have also given mine.
Most of us would have by now received some natural herd immunity passed on by attenuated or weakened virus from person to person.
For example, I must have been exposed to at least 10 Covid patients here already sleeping alongside them for days, yet each time they tested me, they found no trace of this infection in me. (The blogger’s note: Dr. Lim has been hospitalized in Hospital KL for leg ulcer problem since 23/12/2020.)
This will bypass all those unnecessary and unproven vaccines which I think is unnecessary because in all ancient and past pandemic where vaccines were unheard of and unknown the pandemic just died away over time.
I think this time people want to get back to work quickly unlike ancient times people rushed to get "quick fixed results”.
This pandemic will begin to accelerate exponentially like the multiplication of bacteria or cancer cells as seen currently.
But as more and more people are infected, more and more immunity will also be shared and passed on to the rest yet to be infected, and those who were already infected may have received the weakened strains of the virus from others who tag on their antibodies onto the virus before affecting others.
In such a scenario the pandemic curve will gradually flatten out completely because they all shared their immunity together to preserve the human species.
This is a biological law of natural selection and adaptation, until maybe till a third of the population is wiped out to balance the rate of infection against recovery rate as also revealed in Revelation 9:18.

The blogger wishes to thank another learned friend Mr. Stanley Ong for offering his opinion on the same query on 19/1/2021 as follows:
Dr. Jayakumar of the Department of Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine UM in his write-up advised a proven and safer vaccine from China should a need arises.
Personally I will not vaccinate but to strengthen my immune system with Vitamin C, Vitamin D3, Zinc, Probiotics, Blue Green algae and Green Vibrance complete Minerals and Vitamins. Also daily exercise.
Nobody can assure there are no side effects especially the vaccines are rushed out after unprecedented short trials.
Those in favour said they offer Covid protection. But there are reports of deaths and adverse reactions after jabs. Causes are as usual under investigation.
For me, my bottom line is, if you are not in the high risk group, why rush to do now? Can wait and see until there is clearer scenario. Meanwhile build up immunity.
For those who rush to jab now to avoid the Chinese vaccination, l can't comment. I am sure everyone has thought thoroughly before coming to a decision.
I heard on radio a lady who said she went for jab because her Doctor friend went and the Doctor should know best. But we have also read many differing views from medical experts who called for caution.
The decision is solely in our hands, unless the vaccination is mandated.
Try to avoid doing when with doubts as it may lead you to much suspicions "whenever you don't feel right". Not good for the mind and well-being.
