SINGAPORE — The High Court has dismissed several applications brought by political activist Han Hui Hui and five others to quash vaccine-related regulations ...

It had merely reiterated the Government’s announcement on such measures, he added. Given these statistics, the applicants argued that there were no reasonable or rational grounds for the advisory and the announcement to be issued and that they had suffered detriment as a result of the vaccine-related regulations. They also claimed that there were more fully vaccinated Covid-19 patients in hospital who were critically ill as of Dec 6 last year and that data also showed that on April 10 this year, nobody in the intensive care unit aged 70 and above was not fully vaccinated. As for the statistics that they presented, the applicants claimed that their own calculations, based on MOH’s public health data on the pandemic, showed that there were more vaccinated people who died due to Covid-19 as of Dec 5 last year compared to unvaccinated people. The applicants had also applied for the court to declare that the advisory and the announcement were unlawful or irrational, or both. The applicants had pointed to public health data, among other things, which they claimed showed that the people who were not vaccinated against Covid-19 were not causing a disproportionate strain on healthcare resources and that the data refutes the Government’s assertion that a fully vaccinated person was less likely to die or fall seriously ill from Covid-19.
