Contradictheory: It’s all about the context, people


Minister Khairy Jamaluddin might have spoken about easing restrictions after vaccination but taken in context, he is not saying that 'herd immunity' is a silver bullet because Covid-19 variants are a cause for concern. We may need to maintain precautions even when everyone is vaccinated. — Bernama

What would you think if I told you that Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin works until 1am every day? Perhaps you would say that as he’s the coordinating minister for the National Covid-19 Immunisation Programme, he should be working hard. Or you might believe that despite putting in those hours things are still not moving fast enough and KJ should consider sleep a luxury.

It’s all about context, really. A fact in itself may be true but what it means depends on the background that surrounds it.
