Holy, effin' Jebus. Expats in Thailand has got to be the whiniest crybabies in the world. Never have I seen such a concentrated amount of entitled snowflakes congregate in the same place.

C'mon, don't sugar coat it - tell us what you REALLY think!

If you're going to be pedantry, at least try and get it right; because it's a little bit embarrassing when you get it wrong

Do you mean "pedantic?"  (That knife cuts both ways) ????

Does any of this come as a surprise?

Yes. I know. I have posted about that multiple times. I am not that old. High risk in Thailand is defined as age 60 or over and/or with these conditions:

- Severe Chronic Respiratory Diseases (CRDs)
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Chronic kidney disease (CKD) (5th stage)
- Stroke
- Cancer patients receiving chemotherapy
- Diabetes
- Obesity (weight > 100 kg or BMI > 35 kg/m²)
 

But you're still hansome man!

It's where you live. 

That doesn't happen in Pattaya where there is a very large population of expats.

I'm high risk and I have no options to get a vaccine in Pattaya in a timely manner. None. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Bupkis.

I'm in the same boat and have even less of a chance cuz I'm not as hansome [sic] a man as you.

I agree when u start comparing Australia to Thailand Australia is a very rich country with around 26 million and Thailand is rated a 3rd world country with 68 million Oh the fact is 11% of Australian population has been vaccinated

Wrong. There are almost no "3rd world countries" left in the world. Thailand is a developing nation and you insult them saying as much. And trying to claim Thailand is a poor country just falls flat.

Is selfishness beyond you?   

 

Do you think that there is a surplus of appointments for these vaccinations and that it's ok to be one of the very few to have the opportunity to use one up knowing that the vaccine would be either Sinovac or AZ and then just chucking that appointment in the bin because it wasn't the one he fancied more than the other.   Many of us would have been happy to have the opportunity that he had.

I'm sure the appointment was quickly given to someone else.

Well done on selfishly wasting an appointment that many of us who haven't been able to register would have been happy to utilise had you not registered for it and then got picky.   Why refuse Sinovac when you have no other alternative?    

He DID take his alternative of "Thanks, but no thanks to dirty Chinese dishwater." I'm sure the appointment was quickly reassigned.

And so it begins.

Why the Thailand bash ? The efficacy of mixed vaccines is not only being investigated internationally a number of countries are already employing such methods (i.e. Germany with AZ followed up with Moderna)

 

I have personally followed up an initial AZ vaccination issued in Thailand with a Pfizer vaccination a month later issued internationally. 

You are one of the few who has enjoyed such a luxury. The majority of us peasants have been told we can get vaccinated by registering on numerous websites only to find we were misled.

The US has been very successful with their three vaccines - Johnson & Johnson/Janssen, Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech - none of which are made available to us.

Thai officials are only allowing vaccines that are less efficient, for reasons unknown to us little people, but with the history of brown envelopes in LOS, it would follow logic that money is changing hands for favoring these vaccines. Hence the Thai bashing.

My guilty pleasures were Florida's Natural grapefruit juice and Casa Freitas refried beans. I believe, due to disruption in the supply chain, these items have been unavailable for about a month from the places normally carrying them (namely Villa Market). Anyone else notice their favorite items missing from the shelves?

Currently, three vaccines are authorized and recommended in the United States to prevent COVID-19:

Pfizer-BioNTech

Moderna

Johnson & Johnson / Janssen

The US has shown great progress in opening businesses and schools. Major sports events and concerts are open to those who are vaccinated. Over 99% of those in hospitals due to Covid are unvaccinated. Those in charge in Thailand could redirect their efforts and make just as much money purchasing the above three vaccines AND look like heroes in the process. I just don't get it.

Great, so can you explain to me why most of the incoming flights are canceled today?

16 out of 18 flights cancelled. That's severe!

Has Favipiravir actually been shown to have any positive effect on the outcome, anyplace credible?

It bolsters shareholders' bank accounts.

A friend told me years ago that their approach is two steps forward, one step back. I've not seen anything that disproves this approach.

Possibly, but that's getting on for a year's gap. You'd have to have a pretty jaundiced view of the government here to think they won't have vaccines available within the next year.

I wouldn't call it a jaundiced view, more like realistic. Whenever there is money involved, all trust flies out the window.

HOT OFF THE PRESS.........

 

Anutin abandons Sinovac......people with Sinovac as first jab to receive AZ for second.......where is the science study supporting this move????

Source?

Is it legal to set up a GoFundMe page in Thailand to purchase the vaccines we all know will work? NOT sarcasm.  Just getting desperate to get jabbed.
