  1. Forgot ref. @ https://www.statnews.com The story of mRNA: From a loose idea to a tool
  2. "This prototype vaccine is based .... " aka 'copied?' Thai researchers are using 2 decades of published scientific research, experimentation, clinical testing and hereto patented mRNA covid 19 vaccines fully developed as their starting point. Covid 19 mRNA vaccines that has received emergency authorization/full authorization for manufacturing, sale and dispersement. So risk of failure is almost nonexistent, especially with full government backing. Compare to one of the earliest researchers for mRNA vaccines Katalin Kariko who after 6 years in the 1990's could not get grants for further development and eventually was DEMOTED from a path to full professorship. This is like the Wright Brothers began aircraft designing after touring and riding on a Boeing passenger aircraft. I would give these Thsi researchers more credit if they developed an amulet to ward off covid 19.
  3. On the other hand: "Subcutaneous injections can lead to localized cellulitis, granuloma formation and access. The Covid-19 vaccine has shown to have high efficacy if given correctly intramuscularily." https://pm.bmj.com/content/97/1148/400 But nothing beats "thainess" medical practice.
  4. Sad someone can't petition the constitutionality of the Constitutional Court itself. Coup after coup, election after election, the Court upholds coups and nullification of election results and political opposition membership in Parliament.
  5. Corruption of free enterprise once again in Thailand with majority shares owned by the government through state-owned PTT and government oversight as to what enterprise can compete in Thailand's EV market and control EV related product import taxation (eg., price import of Telsa EVs to be uncompetitive). How did that work out for state majority owned Thai Airways? But at least the government allowed private airline enterprises to compete. If the government truly believed in free enterprise it should tell Foxconn to find a qualified Thai private enterprise to joint venture with (and that excludes other foreign national state-owned ventures that get Thai government contracts for infrastructure projects).
  6. Fine for leaving Thailand by air. What countries will accept entry using this passport in lieu of quarantine and negative covid test?
  7. A "dead virus vaccine" is 'pinned' to a specific viral structure. Thus if the virus mutates, eg., alpha/beta/gamma/delta strains for covid 19, they become largely ineffective. Case in point is the Sinovac which appears to be largely 8neffective against covid 19 Delta variant. This is why each year the influenza virus vaccine includes up to 4 of the most current viral mutations (you can choose the vaccine to only cover 1-3 mutations for less cost and efficacy) and must be updated each year for new mutations. The Thai government has recognized Sinovac's variant limitations by recommending 2nd jab of AstraZeneca or Pfizer.
  8. Infrastructure projects like those in Thailand would better serve Cambodians, economic growth and attract foreign investment. This stadium "gift" is so North Korean.
  9. Surprised you didn't mention gargling with salt water, drinking or injecting bleach, ingesting ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine. LOL
  10. Play Store: Mor Prom app by Thailamd Ministry of Health. To register you'll need OTP sent to phone to confirm identity
  11. Prayut still loyally tied to his greatest, most reliable supporter of his regime - China. So sad that Cambodia leads Thailand in foreign trade innovation especially during Thailand's current economic crisis.
  12. Beginning in May 2021 wasn't Sinovac the main vaccine for 2 jabs in Phuket to create the 'sandbox'? Now no longer effective without a booster vaccine such as AZ or Pfizer? Some published studies showed that Sinovac lost 50% efficacy every 40 days - and Wha Lah, more infections.
  13. Prayut probably could use more armored personnel carriers from Ukraine (2011, 2017) ahead of the next elections.
  14. Found this: https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=reg/etr&document=index&lang=e Registration and Voting Processes for Canadians Who l Live Abroad The US Thailand Embassy in 2016 and 2020 offered to send US expat voted ballets mailed to the embassy to the US via weekly diplomatic puch to then be placed with the USPS mail system (questionable timely delivery from deliberate Republican slowdown of USPS mail in US during elections and no tracking from Thailand). Some US counties accept ballets by fax and email. Delivery by courier service (eg., DHL) provides tracking and high likelihood of timely delivery. So contact the Canadian Thailand Embassy.
  15. "certificate from a hospital" My experience with BHN hospital is that it enters your covid 19 vaccinations and/or vaccination appointment dates via the Mor Prom app. After you download the app and register (ID provided by hospital) you have the same data that the so-called vaccine passport has which likely comes from the Ministry's Mor Prom's data base. I'd think the hospital would just tell you to get the Mor Prom app rather than issue a separate certificate. The passport becomes redundant albeit with travel inconvenience to Central Bangkok and cost when traveling domestically.
  16. Amending this Constitution is like giving someone crutches for a broken leg instead of repairing the break. The person/constitution remains handicapped with limited Freedom of Movement. Might just make the Constitution more honest by (among many inconsistancies) removing any reference to "democratic" or "democracy."
  17. Article title: "must receive" vs Article reads: "advised to get" Any wonder unvaccinated are confused?
  18. Naksuk is the equivalent of a Mafia Wiseguy (aka Made man). In Thai parlance he would be "Good Person" - a soldier of the Elitist.
  19. China's latest diversion: Aug. 11, 2021 "Chinese sources .... claim that Covid-19 was made in the US. Chinese propagandists have pushed a conspiracy suggesting that the Covid-19 coronavirus was made and leaked from the military installation in Frédéric, Maryland .." https://www.bbc.com The Chinese news comes from state media (eg., Xinhua News) that would require permission from the CCP to publish. I believe such media further characterizes US spread of Covid-19 as an "attack" against China. War?
  20. On another (less imaginary) front is Brexit trade issues. March 26, 2021 ".... Bank of England interest-rate setter Michael Saunders recently stating that the long-term effects from the UK's departure from the European Union are likely to have a bigger effect on companies than the coronavirus pandemic." https://international banker.com
  21. June 18, 2021 "Aztra Zeneca Plc's vaccine nanufacturing partner in Southeast Asia has missed a delivery target in Thailand and shipments to other countries in the region have been delayed..." https://www.livemint.com June 17 2021 "It" (Thai government) "has not fully explained how it partnered with Siam Bioscience, which has never manufactured jabs before and was not on a Thai government list early last year of companies with the right knowhow (my bold emphasis)." https://www.ft.com
  22. "vaccinate as many citizens as possible" As of September 2, 2021 completed vaccinations done for 12.12% of the population. People vaccinated 35.1%. https://covidvax.live/en/location/tha "Possibility" is not a fact but a desire compared to Prayut's goal of 70% for September.
  23. TRANSLATION: "Tarnishing" Sinovac with scientific and medical sciences causes political concerns for the Prayut government. Best the public be muzzled from the rabies of democracy.
