Citing an excerpt from a Bloomberg article that says “countries cannot fully re-open their economies safely before a vaccine is available”, Progress Singapore Party (PSP) member Brad Bowyer reflected on the reality behind that statement before proceeding to highlight the need for proper leadership in Singapore when it comes to matters of public health.

In a Facebook post earlier today (5 Aug), Mr Bowyer, who contested in Nee Soon GRC in GE2020, questioned if there is any truth to the statement in the Bloomberg article, or if it is just one big “agenda-driven hoax” and what’s prevailing is becoming a “crime against humanity”.

“Think for a moment how what we were told about Covid at the start of all of this and what we have witnessed these 8 months has been so vastly different and even the information we have been given has constantly flip flopped and adjusted often to maintain the narrative in the face of contrary evidence coloured heavily by the politics of each individual country where it is present,” he wrote.

Noting that people are not dying in the streets, Mr Bowyer asserted that COVID-19 is not deadlier than SARS nor is it the new Spanish flu. Hence, he opined that it is unreasonable for a country to not open its economy unless there is a “vested interest to do otherwise”.

“Vested interests like a cover for a collapsing financials system, a failing globalisation program, political leverage to retain or gain power in various countries and of course to make billions through an unnecessary vaccination program which, when paired with ideas like tracking, chipping and medical passports, represent another layer of elite wealth and control of the general population,” he explained.

Mr Bowyer stressed the need for everyone to get off the “hype bandwagon” and start looking at “hard science”, adding that hard science does not support the “fearmongering narrative” that is being fed to everyone.

“And what have been the consequences of accepting the narrative blindly so far?” he questioned.

“How many people died because they did not get the treatment they needed for other conditions while under lockdowns or resources were on ‘standby’ for a Covid rush that never came?

“How many incidents of domestic violence, abuse and suicide have there been and how much other domestic and social stress has been created for what amounts to a quarantine of the entire population?

“What is the extent of the economic damage and job losses around the world and how many businesses and even industries have been damaged and or destroyed by it?”

Mr Bowyer went on to narrow his train of thoughts by speaking about what has been happening in Singapore. Specifically, he wondered if the nation would have encountered such a bad dengue outbreak that is likely to kill more people of all ages than the few elderly who met their end at the hands of COVID-19.

He then accentuated the need for proper leadership – one that “looks at facts and makes decisions based solely on public health outcomes” while taking into account the “negative impacts of poorly thought-out or self-serving policies and decisions”.

“We need a leadership that looks at the fact that there is a small vulnerable section of the population, primarily those who are already aged beyond the average lifespan and in poor health being in their 80s with underlying, often immune system related, conditions and thus a strategy for their safety not a blanket population wide strategy is needed,” said Mr Bowyer.

The PSP member added that Singapore also needs a leadership that puts the nation’s well-being before its own, which is the unspoken duty that it is bounded by.

“Otherwise many elites around the world investing in and making vaccines will laugh all the way to the bank while we suffer whatever unknown side effects of such rushed and unnecessary programs while giving up even more freedoms and submitting to even more overbearing control will be the result,” he argued.

Mr Bowyer also noted that the outcome of that would not solve COVID-19 as it is now likely a new strain of virus that everyone should be accustomed to just like any other flu strain, adding that an effective flu vaccine is non-existent.

What’s more, he stated that placing heavy reliance on a cure would not prepare the country should there be a “real pandemic” in the future. He went on to express that Singaporeans “no longer trust” those who have lied and manipulated the people for their own purposes.

Mr Bowyer concluded his post saying, “And as we are seeing such poor leadership at the moment it is imperative that we as citizens start to educate ourselves and demand better of those entrusted to lead and inform our nation in government and media and not be passive sheep led in to who knows what future if we do not wake up and start asking serious questions of their decisions and the information they are acting upon.”

贸易战冲突阴影 我国下半年增长料放缓

新加坡贸易与工业部今日(8月13日)发文告,预测今年国内生产总值(GDP)增长率介于“2.5至3.5巴仙”,至于第二季度经济成长为3.9巴仙,比上季度4.5巴仙放缓。 与上一季度2.2巴仙的增长相比,本季的季节性调整年化基础增长率仅达0.6巴仙。原本政府估计增长为1巴仙,而路透调查分析师预估中值为增长1.3巴仙。 根据《路透社》报导,新加坡第二季经济较前季增幅小幅下修,政府称今年下半年经济活动活动趋向温和放缓。由于全球贸易关系紧张,下半年GDP可能仅温和增长。 在2017年电子需求激增,推动全球贸易增长,作为依赖出口城市我国今年已面临增长的高标准。续去年拓展至3.6巴仙后,政府将今年经济增幅定在2.5至3.5巴仙之间。 新加坡贸工部指出,美国与其主要贸易伙伴报复性关税和全球主要央行加息,都令我国以出口为重的经济前景蒙上阴影。 虽然美国较高关税对本国出口的直接冲击很小,不过,贸工部不排除贸易冲突有进一步升级的可能。这将导致美国与其他经济体针锋相对的情况恶化。如此,全球商业和消费者信心会大幅下降,随之就是投资和消费支出大跌。 房产降温  建筑业表现平平 政府则预计国内下半年经济增长放缓,出口和制造业将在较低迷的水平,继续支撑经济增长。在上季度受公共服务项目拖累,加上不久前政府对房地产降温的政策,建筑行业估计仍会表现平平。 金管局副局长Jacqueline Loh称,下调2018年下半年增长预估,在预料之中,也在该局基线预测范围。温和的通胀压力预计仍会持续,但当前的货币政策立场是适宜的。他说,2018年核心通胀率,在金管局1-2巴仙预估区间的上半部分。 今年四月,该局六年来首次收紧货币政策,并计划在10月再做下个决定。并在上月上修了第一季国内生产总值。尽管对前景抱谨慎态度,但分析师称今年10月,也有可能进一步收紧政策。…
