Seems like Singapore has almost flattened the covid case curve, but just on the wrong axis, despite almost 80% fully vaccinated....wow! https://tinyurl.com/SIN-covid-curve

same reason the countries with highest vax rates have some of the highest c19 infection rates and also, to confuse people like you, which seems pretty common occurrence, and because u don't like me and because people like to troll and because..... 555

Obesity, which increases covid risk dramatically likely afflicts western countries much more than Thailand, plus warm/humid climate may have some impact as well. The approaching cold/flu season could see increased covid infections in the west and spread to Thailand if tourism is opened up.

Yes, i agree there seem to be prophylactic benefits, but no way in heck's name do they prevent infection. If your covid vaccination prevented covid infection we would not be having this discussion and you would stop stigmatizing the unvaccinated and you likely wouldn't give a rats asz if i or millions of others are vaxxed or not, or if we are recovered from covid. So if, the vaccine is effective and protects you, be happy and leave it at that.

I am not really against the vaccine, I just don't think they are working so stellar as they want you to believe. If they did, infection rates might drop.

Apparently the vaccines have prophylactic properties but clearly the vaccines are not preventing infection as some people are ramming down your throat. And now u need additional (booster shots) to preserve the "waning" protection syndrome.

make a vaccine that works to prevent transmission. The natural immunity which is much higher, stronger, the vaccines are not working to stop the spread, if they are show me the numbers.

Of course, it's a pandemic of the mutations now which the vaccine is of little use. 555. Have a look at the numbers in countries like Indonesia and make your case for delta and many other countries with surging covid infection despite high vaccine rates.

The pandemic is not slowing down despite high vaccination rates and the poor transmission prevention afforded by vaccines is likely to blame. The 7 day covid infection rate is 4 times higher (Sept 5, 2021) than it was a year ago and NOBODY was vaccinated yet 75% of eligible people have a least one vaccine dose now! Massive increase in covid infections despite more than half the country being fully vaccinated. This is a pandemic of the vaccinated as the data would imply, since the vaccine has done nothing to slow the spread. Don't like this or believe it....check it out. I have more data, and links.

Perhaps we don't really know since the MSM and others try to distort the data to fit the narrative of the day. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/iceland-covid-surge-vaccines/2021/08/14/bdd88d04-fabd-11eb-911c-524bc8b68f17_story.html https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/interactive/2021/vaccinated-counties-delta-hotspots/?itid=mr_health_1&itid=lk_interstitial_manual_15 https://www.thecollegefix.com/despite-95-vaccination-rate-cornell-today-has-five-times-more-covid-cases-than-it-did-this-time-last-year/ The 95 percent metric is falsely high because when the data were collected, few were vaccinated and, by necessity, the majority of those hospitalized were unvaccinated. Then breakthrough cases were no longer counted, yet states continued to collect data for another month or two. If breakthrough cases were being ignored, then only unvaccinated cases were counted, falsely creating that 95 percent figure. The problem is when data are cherry-picked to present a pre conceived self serving narrative. That is when science turns into propaganda. As the Seattle Times noted of the 95 percent figure, a “misguided and dangerous statement.” Going further saying, “But it’s not that simple and to oversimplify by calling it a ‘pandemic of the unvaccinated’ will only make the problem worse.” https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/covid-19-now-a-pandemic-of-the-unvaccinated-not-so-fast/

Recent studies are out recently showing that vaccinated have the same viral load as unvaccinated. This means vaccinated can spread the virus and some studies show the vaccine helps slow the transmission of the delta variant. I think the jury is still out on the waning/longevity equation of vaccine protection as the FDA ponders 3rd injection booster. I think no one really knows for sure how long vaccine protection is afforded by moderna and other vaccines.

The big nothing burger here is that vaccinated people can both contract and transmit covid infection, especially the delta variant. Just a fact, vaccines DO NOT prevent covid transmission 100%, but it is argued they can slow the rates and there are anomalies as have occurred in Israel and some sporadic high percentage breakout infections among vaccinated in various locations globally. And more recent developments indicate "waning" pfizer & moderna vaccine protection with the possibility of 3rd vaccine shot (booster) becoming necessary to ensure some measure of protection.

One August 6, 2021 UK’s Public Health England published this document on their website (see attached link below): SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern and variants under investigation in England Technical briefing 20 The report indicates: Out of the 742 deaths, 402 were fully vaccinated. 79 had received one shot. Only 253 were unvaccinated.” (refer to Table 5: pg 18 to 19) https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1009243/Technical_Briefing_20.pdf No conspiracy in facts, unless you can convince me the website link is fake and/or the data contained therein is incorrect.

Can use the coveted ben certificate, usually works well.

Yes, very high proportion of daily positive covid cases, probably the highest case rate in the world as of Aug 20. Interesting to note that Thailand's covid testing rate has increased only fractionally since recording data but covid positve case rates have soared recently, (>42% on 13-AUG) after looking at the data in the link you provided. These numbers are very troubling for Thailand, (or any country).

When did you take the Thai AZ vaccine, in June? So, (3 vaccination doses in about 90 days?)

Has anyone performed some speed tests from Thailand (ToT, 3BB, or TRUE) using NordVPN OpenVPN and Wireguard protocols? Interested in know how well it performs when connecting to US (LA, NY, Florida) and UK, Germany, France, Singapore & Thailand server locations.

Pattaya needs to open up YESTERDAY but unfortunately covid is ever present and NOT improving in the transmission numbers. The various doom and gloom propagandists are alight with predictions of much worsening predicament due to covid, and the current situation in Thailand and other locations is not surprising and I do recall warnings & predictions of the current dire situation globally with a few bright spots scattered around the globe. It's a juggling act, finding a balance with economically reviving the economy and managing pandemic crisis. Many lives depend on Pattaya economy for sustenance, especially tourist dollars. https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40004647

Hello, Has anyone seen these magnetic hooks and know where I can source them in bkk or Pattaya?

And, pay now BUT eta for this vaccine is Q1 2022, which means u might wait until March 2022 to get vaxxed.

SCG (Hardware House-located in back of SCG) on the Sukhumvit have a VG assortment, I picked up some cap head machine Hex screws, and they have pan head, flat head, in torx, phillips, slotted, etc, all sizes and SS as well.

Very interesting, hitting on some key trends and developments on a vaccine that needs to be renewed for each new variant. CDC estimates 106M people were infected with covid, pre/post vaccine is unknown, but it's becoming more clear natural immunity is vital in managing covid and not euphemistically referred to as variant dependent vaccines. Some in the know, scientists, doctors, are now citing vaccines as likely promoting new covid variants. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burden.html https://tinyurl.com/msn-238
