A number of Malaysians saying no to vaccines, or known as the anti-vaccine group, is not news to most of us who are preparing for life to return to normal.
The existence of anti-vaxxers is a huge challenge for the National Covid Immunisation Programme as they are the ones responsible for spreading unsubstantiated, false and misleading information about the Covid-19 vaccines, and the government has had enough.
Taking to Twitter, here is what Minister of Health Khairy Jamaluddin in response to a tweet from Dr Kin Sulong.
Am I the only one yang rasa antivaccine group kat Malaysia ni kebal sekebal-kebalnya?
Even mantan PM, Presiden UMNO pun turun naik Mahkamah, tapi antivaksin ni lebih hebat lagi. Petik nama Menteri sesuka hati
Tabur fitnah sana sini, NO ACTION.
Sampai bila?@Khairykj pic.twitter.com/LnVc3j1drT— Dr Kin Sulong (@DrSakinah3) October 15, 2021
“Am I the only one who feels that the anti-vaccine group is immune to diseases?”
“They spread fake news, but no action is taken. When will this stop @Khairykj?”
Pihak @KKMPutrajaya telah membuat beberapa laporan polis terhadap kumpulan anti-vaksin. Kami harap tindakan susulan (sisatan, pendakwaan, dll) dapat disegerakan. Kumpulan ini terus menyebarkan berita palsu, mengancam kesihatan awam dan annoying. https://t.co/rdAKlUNEFZ

In his response, Khairy writes, “@KKMPutrajaya have reported to the authorities.”
“We hope that further action will be underway to stop this group from spreading false news that threatens the public’s well-being and is a nuisance.”
Netizens commenting on the Tweet shared that it was hilarious for Khairy to label the anti-vaccine group as annoying.
So please anti-vaxxers, stop annoying the public or the authorities may come to your doorstep soon.
