    Issue : Covid-19 vaccines


    Question at Issue : Should all Malaysians be compulsory to get the Covid-19

    1
    vaccines?

    2
    Argumentative Essay

    The covid-19 disease is an infectious disease spreading rapidly worldwide and led
    more than 2.67 million Malaysians to be infected, and about 30 thousand patients have
    died in Malaysia. Covid-19 vaccines are provided to reduce the number of Covid-19
    confirmed cases and death cases. Therefore, all Malaysians should be compulsory to get
    the Covid-19 vaccines for two reasons.

    Firstly, vaccination can help Malaysians reduce the risk of getting and spreading
    the Covid-19 virus. Vaccination can protect them from being infected and spreading the
    virus when they interact by producing antibodies in vaccinated people's bodies to fight
    against the Covid-19 virus. A study shows that vaccines can reduce the chance of Covid-
    19 virus transmission by 40% to 60%. When people are infected with the viruses,
    infectious viruses in vaccinated people's mouth and nose are less than unvaccinated
    people, and it is less likely to transfer to others.

    Secondly, vaccination can assist the immune system in developing resistance to


    the infection by Covid-19. According to the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention,
    vaccines proved that can effectively boost people's antibodies in their natural immunity.
    The vaccines will train people's antibodies to identify and combat the virus that causes
    Covid-19. For those infected people, vaccinated people will eliminate the virus from their
    bodies faster than unvaccinated people because the antibodies established before can
    fight against the virus that causes Covid-19.

    Many people claim that Malaysians will still be affected by Covid-19 after taking
    the vaccine. To be fair, the Covid-19 vaccine cannot prevent infection by 100%.
    However, Malaysians must be vaccinated to prevent them from causing more severe
    consequences. People can get better protection with full-dose vaccination. Unvaccinated
    people are twice as likely to be infected with Covid-19 disease as fully vaccinated people.
    According to the research data, fully vaccinated people can effectively prevent severe
    illness, ICU hospitalization, and death.

    In conclusion, all Malaysians should be compulsory to get the Covid-19 vaccines


    because vaccination can lower Malaysia's infection rate and transmission rate caused by
    3
    the Covid-19 virus. Also, vaccination can boost people's immunity to fight against the
    virus from invading people's bodies.
