The Center for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) last week asked people to “slow down” their vaccine registration via the Mor Phrom Application due to limited supply of vaccines.

If the quote is accurate, what a disaster!

Meanwhile in other real news, it was reported today that hospitals are stretching supplies to make 12 jabs out of ten vials; maybe they are just adding water?

That direction should have more to do with more careful draws on the syringe, in other words, using every last drop. Vials have slight excess amounts as a margin. Similar directions have been made in other countries. This is not ideal, naturally.

I don't suggest you speculate about adding water.

There seems to be a widespread belief among Thais ...

 

I'm not sure if that would be the case and I think that any administration would struggle under the same conditions

The "grass always greener" perception?

Don't want to get on my soapbox or veer off topic, but there are fully democratically elected administrations that are showing similar Covid response issues we face in Thailand.

From "basic principles" there should be no problem. There is even a chance of enhanced protection. Studies are ongoing. Since much doubt remains at this moment, no healthcare professional will recommend this.

There are European guidelines for a mixed vaccine protocol, for example:

Finland

France

Norway

Adenovirus is just another way of saying mRNA.

Actually the AZ vaccine uses an adenovirus vector, not mRNA.

You've constantly insinuated that the Thai studies are beset by conspiracy level bias, so what "they" do is never going to be enough.

My advice to the community is to use all legitimate ways and means possible, even if it means multiple registrations through different channels.

"Trump says" is hardly a proof of anything.

pushing this news

The only new news would be those "intelligence reports."  Biden has ordered an investigation. Check back after 90 days.

Meanwhile there are new reports from Vietnam about a new hybrid strain:

only pfizer and moderna has a better chance to prevent infection because these vaccines were develop using a new concept to build antibodies(MRNA). Other uses the "dead bug approach"  .Infection may be possible.    Still better than none.

This isn't entirely true. The new variants are a moving target and both companies are constantly looking into new formulations or boosters.

On a positive note, there is strong research interest in "pan-coronavirus vaccines."

On top of that, it seems that some highly credible reseachers and award-winning scientists are about to publish proof that the Covid virus isn't from nature and has to have been manipulated in a lab, with accusations the Chinese were up to something called "Gain of Function" research, which Obama banned for a while during his presidency due to how dangerous it is. Part of the evidence has something to do with how many amino acids are present within the virus and their configuration in a row. The amino acids are all positively charged and the reason it's so infectious is because the human cell parts they attach to are negatively charged.

Fascinating. Your source for this? Or are you one of the highly credible reseachers?

A suspicious way to compare vaccines compared to objective Western methods.

My reaction was to this. Suspicious, subjective non-Western study alert!

Criticize and dispute the results all you want but use science and hold the racism.

Patently false.

Some rumors refuse to die.

Every other day, "Sinovac only 50% effective" "someone died after vaccination" "someone told me" "the medical establishment is evil" gets repeated ad nauseum here.

What a load of nonsense.  Peer reviewed study: no, methodology released: no, raw data released: no, confirmation bias: definitely. If a student who presented this garbage they would get a fail.

 

This 'data' has been manufactured to meet a predetermined outcome.

All those excellent deductions from a third-party press report?

Well done, Professor Barstool.
