Disappointed that my comment removed......despite quoting from respectable medical journal...........n'mind......more pple die preventable deaths, & suffering from C-19 despite vac.........oso no reply from Dr Leong or other "experts"/MOH....sigh
i never get vaccinated neither got infected, i watch your video just to see what you are sharing and making me happy.
Welcome to our pureblood family !
It’s almost a DECADE- YOU STILL TALK ABOUT VACCINES!!!
A theraphy based on 8 mice !
It I thought theses shots neither eliminate nor reduce infection transmission . So why the shot then . Why
Vaccines and Boosters shots are prevention measures , not 100% cure. This is reduce numbers of Death of people getting infected.
Each year new variance and sub-variance appear , some are moderate , some are deadly.
This is not of interest to him!
for fun.
Thank you so much Dr Leong ❤ I am getting mine asap 🙏🙏
If vaccines so good why are we all forced to sign indemnity for them
Please also explain the risks (side effects) of taking the bivalent vaccine!!
..watching fm Alexander H..isolation ward! my 12 days since and recovering with all cares here at AH team 👍🙏🏾
Take care!
Thank you for this helpful info..Thank God for my 96 yrs old dad living in Singapore just received his 2nd booster shot. I had my 2nd booster shot in Malaysia two months ago before visiting him.
Dr. Leong please make a video to explain long covid. Thanks in advance.
Dr Leong has done a full webinar on Long COVID with Medical Channel Asia.

I hope all the experts know what they are talking about.
Thank you Dr Leong. How are to know if we are given the bivalent vaccine or the ordinary vaccine? If I was given the 2nd booter in July, that means it can't be the bivalent vaccine. Right?
Dr Leong, thank you for the video. Once the bivalent vaccine is given does it take effect immediately? Or it becomes effective only after some days? Thank you.
I recover from Covid for about a week and I'm still have cough. But for my son he have fully recover no more cough. So what should I do next? Wait for 3 month than go for vaccine?
There's medical studies out there explaining how getting Covid provide stronger immunity than vaccine. I'm not a doctor but from what I read in medical journal, it is better than a shot (doesn't imply go get one). So if it is like a shot, then you must be good for 6 months, and it gives you lifetime T and B cell memory, just my own logic here.
Search John Campbell's three videos: "Adam," "Brendan," and "Kyle."
If you followed him long enough, you would know he wanted you all to get the shot too.
Just got the 2nd booster bivalent Moderna shot yesterday...so far so good
Only God can end this manmade pestilence.
Very long time to go. U need to wait until 2025 come.
Noisome & grievous sore coming soon

Thank you for your OPINION which you won't be responsible nor accountable for. Roll out whatever crap you want, just don't force it on anybody.
Damn, tell us how you really feel. 😅
Thank you
What about d unvaccinated by choice?. I am invaccinated age 75 yrs!. Your advice please
Chances are your immunity has fought off the virus. Look at the poor african nations with extreme low vaccination rates, they have the lowest number of people dying from covid because they rely on their own healthy immune system.
Do not take it ! its poison !
You made it this far without a doctor, why you need one now? LOL
Apologies if I’m asking an ignorant question. Is the efficacy of the bivalent vaccine an objectively proven FACT?
No
Any vaccine out within a few months is experimental!
Your audio is quite bad. At times loud, at times soft.
Good morning, Dr. Leong. Must we complete the 2nd booster first then can take the bivalent? Thank you.
U can take bivalent as your 2nd booster shot . Do take care the side effects lasted 5 days only to prevent long term side effects.
Thank u
Thank you Dr Leong. Its been very educational. Great to learn so much from you. Thanks for sharing.
Point number 4?
May reduce severity but increase potential of permanent side efffects 😮
Thankyou Mr loeng can no to take so much good a not
All of us pls do the responsible thing, ie to wear a mask in all public places (except whn exercising). Bcos it is futile to hope that ppl wont sneeze & cough, spraying their saliva n mucus onto surfaces, n touching their surroundings.
Just breath it in, Natural immunity is best. But do take vitamin D, C, zinc, and quercetin. It does help. You can't live your whole life wearing a mask and hiding. It's here to stay.
No
Hi Dr Leong , my 74 yrs old mum is under Targeted Cancer Therapy and Ho has also completed 4 COVID 19 jab on 9June22 .
We will be traveling soon and her becoming cancer therapy will be on 17Nov22 .
I understand that there r couple feedback on the post Bivalent vaccination.
Do you recommend for my mum to go for the Bivalent injection on 9Nov22 ? ( noting that her next cancer therapy is on 17Nov22 )
Appreciate your sharing .
God bless you
Why vaccines again. I took 4 booster down with K19. An now allergic reaction with my last one. How DR, can u treat me?
look into dandelion leaf and spike protein adverse reaction
you can't be treated if there is nothing wrong with you. A reaction just means that it's working.
Dr Leong, I think you should challenge the Authorities to rewrite the definition of “vaccine” first instead of talking so much convincing people to go for vaccination.
Dr Leong, the current rolled out of moderna bivalent is targeting BA.1 , shouldn’t one wait for the bivalent for BA.4/5 more updated ?
My young healthy nephew in his late 30s just died of covid affected him in cardiac arrest in Malaysia last month. Nobody dared to give CPR when he collapsed. He was not fully vaccinated.
If he was truly healthy, he wouldn't have died from covid.
how many shots did he have, it only takes one to do the damage😪
I mean, I am unvaccinated, run about with a mask and have not been infected. Hopefully not!. Dr, your comment pleasr
go get vaccinated, it's safe and effective
@@ex8280Why are you telling that lie and why are giving such horrible advice that could cost someone their life. People are dropping from these things.
Why can't they develop a vaccine tht recognises the whole virus DNA, rather than just the specific spike protein (tht keep on mutating?).
because by they all mutate and the spike protein is the first thing your body recognizes.
Thank you for the explanations..The Key point is...everyone has to protect oneself to protect others via complete vaccinations & precautionary measures.
Yup i agree, but its better to go for the updated Bivalent vaccines if u can now for optimal protection from severe illness rather than the regular older vaccines :)
Please not everyone needs it...my 90 old grandma is doing fine without it and we have big gatherings all the time.
@@mikes.2471 U might think you or your gradma dont need it and is 'fine' until she catches the XBB variant. The purpose of the vaccines is for u to take it while still healthy in order to prevent u from eventually succumbing to the XBB variant.
@@mikes.2471 my 96 yrs old dad living in Singapore just had his 4th jab given to him at his doorstep by health care family Doctor recently.
@@huiyinghong3073 God given natural immunity has yet to failed her the last 2.5 years.
Great sharing on long covid… well said it is like a curse… may I ask if long covid can happen to even young healthy individual too? Do you mean long COVID can not recover?
He also don’t know.

long Convid can be recovered , take time.
Bivalent vaccines is a prevention measure not 100% cure.
Do not take things for granted.
Do take care the side effects , only last 5 days to prevent long term side effects Convid.
There's an African doctor explaining that Covid is 2 phase. Second phase has to do with own body attacking itself. It is his own discovery after treating many patients who got well and then turned south, so thus his hypothesis that it is a 2 phases disease. If you google lose of smell and benadryl (anti histamine), it might connect some dots. Our body is very complex, so I'm still trying to make some connection here too. Another supplement for histamine is quercetin (also found in onion, especially red onion, papaya leaf extract,...) If the African doctor is correct, we can look at long Covid from the lens that the body is overreacting and maybe benadryl, quercetin or other things that target histamine level will help. Cutting down on histamine related food might be another way, cutting down on processed food, sugar...taking lemon juice. I'm just brainstorming, hopefully it helps someone with long covid connect some dots. If you are really interested, look into dandelion leaf, it reduce spike protein in the body, also help those who have vaccine injury/covid.
Yup i agree, but its better to go for the updated Bivalent vaccines if u can now for optimal protection from severe illness rather than the regular older vaccines :)
Dr Leong, if vaccine antibodies in our bodies are going off to near negligible by 6 months, and that covid is not going to stop any time soon in the foreseeable future due to mutations, does it mean that we are going to jap a fresh vaccine into our bodies every 6 months ... indefinitely ?
Good question, that's why we need to build up our own immuinty by having a healthy lifestyle
Trust your immune system.
Never vaccinated.
Got delta in December 21.
1 year ago...
Trust your immune system.
@@sanwong9788 Yes but its for your own health and safety, u need to take your jabs every 6 months to ensure that u stay protected against the latest variants.
@@chewyukechun350 or since we know coronaviruses constantly mutate we build up our god given immunity by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, something the majority of us can do and is not found in a vial
@@chewyukechun350 😂🤣😂
🥴🤦🏽♂️🤡
Dr Leong,
I have had 3 Pfizer doses. I now have inner itches at night only - with no rashes. Should I continue to take the 2nd booster Pfizer bivalent or Moderna/ mRNA dose?
Thank you for your advice.
yes get as many as possible & all brands
I know a few friends who have skin diseases, inner itches on one of them, all vaccinated. Sure, no one can prove it is the vaccine but it does make you wonder. I met a pharmacist who told me 3 of his family members got severe side effect after getting the MMR vaccine. He did genetic testing and found out his family cannot take the MMR vaccine. So just some anecdotal here. My daughter took the MRNA Pfizer, 2 shots, end up in ER for breathlessness but doctor can't find what's wrong with her. My sister got stroke like symptoms after 2 Moderna shots and recovering from long haul covid symptom (although she never gotten Covid). I think everyone's body is different, so if you feel something strange, maybe your body is telling you something. My friend who is a nurse told me she seen on average 1 person with strange symptoms coming to her clinic once the vaccine roll out. I personally think if it is an effective vaccine, 3 would suffice already. If it is not, then you will have to forever vaccinate. Unfortunately, no one knows the long term side effect of continuous vaccination.
@@kerensapee Thank you for your kind advice. Appreciated.
avoid it like the plague
I am close to 60. I have taken 4 shots of the Pfizer mRNA vaccine. I had covid one month after the 4th shot. Do I need to go for the bivalent vaccine to be safe?
Yes, after 3 months. One year later , U might get infected again one or two months ahead unless your immune system is very strong.
Do take care side effects lasted 5 days only , to prevent long term side effects Convid.
yikes
@@boggle272 lol, there is no helping them.
@@joshuajesus1774Stop giving bad advice.
Many thanks to Dr Leong. Please share with us whether is better to stay away from crowd and avoid travel to overseas for sometime After vaccination (more interested on 2nd booster) as came across an article saying our immune system will be quite weak after vaccination.
it’s better to stay well away from state mandated experimental pHARMa products with zero long term safety or efficacy data every time
Tks, great info. I'm in the over 60s category in Aus. Just had my Moderna Bivalent yesterday (5th shot).
Whoooops !
that was the wong thing to do 😔
Fool
I clicked on tbis video just look at the comments to see if people have finally woken up yet after 2 years into this jab debacle. I still see some are still asleep as it seems after all this time with all tbe new information they are beyond help they nothing more than zombies.
Why just a Bi-valent vaccine? Why not an LGBTIQA-valent vaccine and cover all bases?
Are U refer to Monkey pox is similarity to LGBTIQA-valent virus ( HIV virus ) ?
😁
it comes with a shot of Bud-Light too.
Thank you Dr! A great synopsis on the Covid vaccines and importance of them. I have been vaccinated 4 x’s and will get the bivalent soon.
Do you continue to get boosted or have you woken up yet?
🐑🐑💀🐑 fool
Thank you doctor.
I just turn 50 years old last month, i took Pifzer for my 1st and 2nd vaccine, i had quite bad side effects after my 2nd vaccine so i took Sinopharm for my 1st booster.
Doctor what is your advice?
Should i go for my 2nd booster and which vaccine should i take?
I also had adverse reactions to my Pfizer 2nd dose. So I opted to take Moderna for my 1st booster and it turned out much better! Now I am taking Moderna 2nd booster as well as I have co-mobidities.
Why U never take care the side effects ?
The side effects take 5 days only after U get the vaccines or booster shots 6 hrs later.
To prevent long term side effects Convid.
Many take things for granted !
Different brands of vaccines react differently
Thanks, doctor! Got my Spikevax bivalent. Slightly more potent than the original, but all's fine. 🙏
very well explained
Lies
Dr. Pls share with them. Jesus is coming.
U need to wait another 300 years , then U will meet Jesus ....
Jesus never left.
Just to check is this diluted vaccine to be given to us?
The same old rhetoric again. Please wake up folks!
personally I prefer the Pfizer bivalent because it contains BA4/5 spike. I recovered from Omicron in mid March so that was probably BA1/2. My immune system is imprinted with that variant. Hence I feel for breath of protection, the bivalent BA4/5 from Pfizer is better than the Moderna's BA1
Dr. Leong, noisome and grievous sore coming soon
