Yes. I got a full Moderna booster (100ug) 90 days after 2 AZ shots. Take a look at Vichaiyut. They currently suggest 3 months after AZ. Their support and reservation system is excellent and flexible. You can order Lot-2 shots on Shopee. If you want a shot now I have a spare Lot 1 coupon good till April 1.

Covid in Thailand in May 2021 most likely would have been Alpha, B.1.1.7. Delta didn't reach 10% in Bangkok until June 16, and became dominant about July 19. Though Alpha was nothing to sneeze at.

No, but it counts for knowing a very strong vaccine proponent. Buzz Aldrin "I urge everyone to sign up for a vaccination as soon as possible ..." He also said: "I want to thank all the scientists ... " Lol, guess he would know.

Excellent. Can you see that your upper rocket's circle is slightly larger than the lower one? So rocket images will always be slightly larger that posters' avatars, very visually distracting. The score also has no meaning other than the number of posts: 1 0 - 10 2 10 - 30 3 30 - 100 4 100 - 1000 5 1000 - 2000 6 2000 - 5000 7 5000 - 10000 8 10000 -

You erroneously copied a single quote from a paper that was unrelated to the paper's data and results. The quote was one of many introductory summaries of old, out of date studies. What you quoted is 30 years old. See para 4. So effectively, you cherry picked a sour grape from a trash can. The full paper: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7357397/ If you read it, you'll see there are many grades of surgical masks, not one. Now they even have N99. See: USA: ASTM F2100 Level 2 (0.1 microns >98%). The real data from the paper also does not support you claims.

A SARS-2 particle, by any other name, would fail to penetrate N95 masks.

Myth Buster Myth: "Very small virus size particles easily penetrate an N95 mask because an N95 mask has a 0.3 µm hole size." Truth: An N95 mask can filter 0.1 µm particles better than 0.3 µm particles, and tiny 0.01 µm particles have little to no chance of penetrating. N95 masks do not have a hole size but are rated for 0.3 µm because 0.3 µm particles have the highest penetrating power of all sizes. Summary: N95 will filter >= 95% of any particle size. A picture says 1000 words.

More fake news. If you open the CDC page and follow the links you get to the page below with countless authorized PCR tests for analysing COVID, even home kits. It remains the golden standard of testing as it evolves in response to newer variants. https://www.fda.gov/medical-devices/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19-emergency-use-authorizations-medical-devices/in-vitro-diagnostics-euas-molecular-diagnostic-tests-sars-cov-2

Warning: This link is not part of the official VAERS adverse events reporting system, the CDC, or any other official organization. It is a private vaccine septic website that arranges partial information in a way to spread vaccine fear. They leave out critical information, particularly relative reporting rates which increased under COVID. WIKI: "During the COVID-19 pandemic, raw VAERS data has often been disseminated by anti-vaccine groups in order to justify misinformation and safety claims related to COVID-19 vaccines, including adverse reactions and fatalities claimed to have been caused by vaccines. Websites such as Medalerts (published by the anti-vaccine group National Vaccine Information Center) and OpenVAERS (which published a tally of vaccine adverse events and fatalities allegedly linked to COVID-19 vaccines based on VAERS data), have been linked to this misinformation. Comparative studies of VAERS, which look at relative reporting rates, have found that the data does not support these claims."

Actual scientists already have. It's easy to do. You almost got it right. However, it's not necessary to wait over the vaccine's life cycle. Just sample people vaccinated at given times in the past using given vaccine combinations. Then see how well their serum neutralizes Omicron. Bingo.

Real science. Omicron grows up to 70 times faster in the bronchi than Delta. Masks stop a percentage of particles in the air. https://www.timesofisrael.com/omicron-variant-found-to-grow-70-times-faster-than-delta-in-respiratory-tissue/

Lol. I was criticizing someone else for saying it was mild as a cold. So you read the link. Good!

Here, read the views of the world's best virologists. Can you spot who is misinformed? Nature Journal: Beyond Omicron: what’s next for COVID’s viral evolution

By others who are also fearful of covid.

Wrong, see above.

From your link: Antibody level increase against Omicron after different size mRNA boosters. Pfizer 30 µg booster = 27 fold Moderna 50 µg booster = 37 fold Moderna 100 µg booster = 83 fold Surprisingly clear evidence that booster size equates to stronger antibody protection. Most paid for Moderna shots in Thailand are 100µg AFAIK.

Try a shot of vodka and then try 3. Tell me the difference. But vaccines don't just add immunity, its more like 1 shot, 3 shots, then 9 shots. Now try to walk. You are right that current vaccines are less efficient against Omicron, but that argues for more, not less vaccine. And yes, after all the talk about rapid vaccine adaptation, its clear SARS-2 can move faster. Scientists say they're very surprised about the pace of mutation. Another argument for, not against vaccines.

Pfizer and Moderna are almost identical except for dosage. Moderna normal dose: 100 µg mRNA Pfizer normal dose: 30 µg mRNA Moderna half dose: 50 µg mRNA Some recommend a 50µg Moderna booster but it can also be 100 µg. Thus Moderna may provide somewhat stronger protection but it's probably not a big difference.

" check again Jan 4th." -- Anutin IHME projects 3 billion new COVID-19 cases by February Says it all.

You can use Google to translate ..... oh ..... they changed the link..... The original link now goes to two pages, Group 1 for first round and Group 2 for later round purchases. Just press the big 1 for the information page I referenced earlier, or use this link: Group 1 Moderna Now use google to translate... Note: The graph is an image that won't translate the only words you need Month: เดือน and Microgram: ไมโครกรัม. So all their 'boosters' are full sized 100 µg shots.

(Note: SGTF simply means diagnosed as Omicron using PCR.) The study says current Omicron cases are less likely to be hospitalized than current Delta cases but, once in hospital severity is similar. Here are two reasons for lower hospitalizations that do not require a milder Omicron virus. 1. Omicron easily infects people with immunity from past waves, Delta does not. Thus, many Omicron cases may be milder. (Same for vaxxed people) 2. In SA, Omicron infects a significantly lower age bracket than Delta (Omicron in orange). This may also lower hospitalizations without a naturally milder Omicron. But never look a gift horse in the mouth. A milder Omicron experience is welcome no matter the reason. But it may not mean SARS-2 is becoming milder, that will require much more data. https://www.thesun.co.uk/health/16928813/new-fears-kids-greater-risk-omicron-hospitalisations/

PCR is designed to detect all current SARS-2 strains without differentiation. In special cases, PCR can differentiate between variants, in particular Omicron versus other currently circulating strains. How? PCR tests for 3 small code segments in the virus. If PCR detects all 3 then you detected covid. Omicron is so badly mutated that one of the 3 test fails, notably the spike or S-protein test. Currently, if PCR detects 2 code segments, and fails to detect the S-protein, you know you have Omicron. This is a special case but is very useful considering how incredibly fast Omicron spreads. I believe their is now a new Omicron variant that is not detectable this way, but there are very few cases.

Old paper, old news, now misinformation. ADE, known for decades, is associated with numerous viruses, esp. dengue. It is a problem with viruses, not specifically vaccines. The author summarizes past knowledge and does some computer studies suggesting SARS-2 (like SARS-1, MERS, etc.) should be monitored for ADE. Countless other scientists have said the same. Nothing has been more monitored from the beginning, especially during vaccine development. It is not a problem. The sole author, Darrell O. Ricke has published several papers with Robert W. Malone. I presume you know of him, he was the first to demonstrate mRNA's vaccine capabilities. Robert W. Malone himself said ADE was his only personal concern about mRNA vaccines. When it was clearly shown not to be a problem, he proceeded to get vaccinated! If Robert W. Malone can take the vaccine, why can't you? SEE HERE "If COVID-19 vaccines caused ADE, people who are vaccinated against COVID-19 would have more severe disease. This is not happening. On the contrary, people who are vaccinated typically have very mild disease or none at all. In fact, the majority of COVID-19 deaths in the U.S. are people who aren't fully vaccinated."

Thailand found, and sequenced the first SARS2 case outside of China in a woman arriving by air from China on Jan 8, 2020. This was before China had released the sequence to the world. When China released the sequence on Jan 12, Thailand acknowledged theirs.

That's probably correct, March 31 is the last day I can use it. I would likely check my antibodies first as well. It's my understanding that timing and delays are primarially to maximize your immune response, not because it is dangerous. Shooting too much too fast just wastes vaccine. It may also depend on Omicron and how well vaccines hold up against it. BTW, I rushed my first Moderna booster because Omicron is on the way. 2x AZ does little to resist it.
