#249 - WHO now says boosters are not a viable strategy & Bentley driver tries to run down security officer


Listen Later

WHO experts warned that repeating booster shots of the COVID vaccines is not a viable strategy going forward against emerging variants. In Singapore though, Minister of Health Ong Ye Kung recently said that we may need annual booster shots in the future. What should we make of this difference in messaging? Elsewhere, a Bentley driver draws the ire of the internet and even Minister Chan Chun Sing himself, by threatening to run over a security officer in order to force his way into Red Swastika School. Could he have done it any other way without going viral?
