The pandemic has pulled the metaphorical masks off of many people, especially those in the US, revealing who they really are. And it's not pretty.

So the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines transfer "genetic material" in the form of non-replicative mRNA to direct the cells that have taken it up to produce a single native viral protein. Which is essentially what the virus that causes COVID-19 does along with a lot of other viral proteins and ultimately infectious viral particles that then repeat the cycle in other cells.
It's interesting that so many effectively see/treat the vaccine as being more dangerous than the virus.

The British Medical Journal had a commentary describing the study that called out an increased risk for myocarditis as 'deeply flawed"
QuoteThe risk of 12-15 year old healthy boys experiencing cardiac adverse events such as myocarditis after their second dose of the Pfizer and BioNTech vaccine is around four times adolescents’ risk of being admitted to hospital as a result of infection with SARS-CoV-2, a preprint study has found.1
However, the study has been widely criticised for mining data from an inappropriate source to deliver an antivaccine message, despite warnings against such data uses.
Covid-19: Study that claimed boys are at increased risk of myocarditis after vaccination is deeply flawed, say critics
BMJ 2021; 374 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.n2251 (Published 14 September 2021)
https://www.bmj.com/content/374/bmj.n2251
It's worth noting that the paper is in pre-print stage (I think that's being overly generous) and has not passed through the peer review process. Given the criticism it's already received it might have a difficult time getting published in a respected journal.
To be honest I haven't been following the myocarditis issue too closely. But if the government is basing its decisions on studies that are not peer reviewed and have been called out for using unsound methods that is especially disturbing.

QuoteThailand's government is in talks....
If true then I think it's great that the Thai government is getting in line early. However what this government is apparently focused on and good at is talking without taking action. Probably just for the purpose of press releases such as these.

Hydrogen Peroxide 50%, 1 litre, 105 baht.
I saw that too. I wonder if it is really 50%. The highest concentration I was ever able to buy when I worked in a lab was 30% and that had to be refrigerated and shipped with extra precautions

Why 2 doses of Pfizer for the students and not 1 dose?
Quotes from links......
"Single jab recommended for 12 to 15-year-olds by UK's top doctors"
"Children aged 16 to 18 have only been told to get one dose currently."
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58547659
Why not vaccinate the primary school kids as well?
"The Pfizer/BioNTech coronavirus vaccine is "safe, well tolerated" and produces a "robust" antibody immune response in children aged five to 11, according to the findings of a US trial."
https://www.bbc.com/news/health-58623062
Again, as we saw with Moderna back in June, Anutin moves to procure mRNA vaccines only after the press exposes his inaction. Its sad that his department couldn't see the inherent value in 2mil doses of one of the better vaccines for free.
I suspect that the reason it is going to students is that Anutin may fear a well-powered comparison between the effectiveness of Sinovac and mRNA vaccines among adults in Thailand. If it were to come out that Pfizer is much more effective it could cause (more) problems for him.

Try Lazada. After giving up on finding it a pharmacy (some have no stock for any size) I recently ordered a jug of food grade 6% without iodine and it works great.

Just looking at what Anutin has done or neglected to do during the last 6 months -
- Moderna vaccine purchase by private hospitals delayed because "paperwork not submitted or lost". Delay probably would have been indefinite if it hadn't gotten attention by the press
- J&J vaccine - after submitting paperwork and getting approval, Anutin alleges, when asked about the J&J vaccine in an interview, that J&J have stopped responding to emails and calls from his office. My guess is that it's the other way around - that his office ignored J&J's interest to make a deal for purchase and J&J then gave up. Duckworth should give J&J a call to find out what really happened.
- And now the Pfizer donation. Again the claim of "no paperwork".
There is clearly a pattern here. Back in May-June it seemed that he did not want western vaccines in the country. It seems that nothing has changed. Yes he accepted the initial Pfizer donations but had to because the crisis was peaking and there was tremendous visibility and pressure. He had no choice. Now that the number of cases is supposedly declining it looks like he's back to his original position of using Chinese vaccines almost exclusively.

When I was travelling back and forth between Thailand and SFO I would typically fly EVA. Their Economy Plus seats are quite good and for me actually more comfortable than business class. Service in non-business class can be a bit gruff at times though.
I usually get the indian vegetarian meals. It was on an EVA flight that, after being married to a Taiwanese national for decades, I realized how much I dislike Chinese cuisine. Just the smell did it, not the actual food.

Here is a question that I have after reading the article. If this Government believes the cases are declining and they are on the way to winning the battle in the next few weeks, why are they opening up an ICU Covid ward when the case numbers in the ICU are also dropping for those on ventilators, or is there something they are not telling anyone.....Are they expecting the worst because of the risks they are starting to take?
It could be a side effect of this government's "Yesterday's Treatments Tomorrow!" policy.
Or maybe they've finally learned when it comes to deadly pandemic viruses that it's best to err on the side of caution??? Wait... Is that Anutin in the background? Nevermind.

The raw numbers are not as meaningful as the ratios between vaccinated vs unvaccinated. So the question is whether someone who was unvaccinated but presented with the same symptoms would have been admitted by that doctor on that day. Also, I would expect an under-reporting for unvaccinated people as well, especially in areas with large frequencies of unvaccinated/unmasked people where hospitals have run out of beds (like parts of FL, TX, AL, AR, MS etc.). I'm not trying to make excuses but it's important to treat the all data from different arms equally.
I'm sure the data is there. It would need to be collected and processed.

Great. First we have to wear face masks during sex. Now ethanol is not fit for human consumption. Some of these announcements read like they were written at The Onion.
I don't see anything wrong with rinsing food with 70% ethanol as long as it's just ethanol and water AND it isn't done in front of an open flame. The problem as I see it is that it's hard to find ethanol in Thailand that isn't formulated with fragrance, dye, and other ingredients that you probably don't want to be eating.

Perhaps there are some exceptions, but not many.
America's a very heterogeneous country, probably the most heterogeneous on the planet, (not counting the EU as a country). When I moved from my native New York City to the California SF Bay Area I felt like I had moved to a different country. The cultural differences from state to state are often enormous.

Besides a few posts a good thread with pertinent points and intelligent discussion. From the comment above concerning the Afghanistan exit is not comparable to COVID 19 except in one way, the enemy has a say. Very short-sighted comment. US has provided COVID vaccines to Thailand and more coming. If you don't want the US help refuse your Pfizer vaccine.
FYI - this thread is about ACS's indifference to the difficulties that Americans (and other foreigners) in Thailand in getting vaccinated. Not about their donation of vaccines. Difficulties arising from incompetence and/or corruption by the Thai government. As we've seen from so many news reports the donated vaccines haven't always been going to where they've been promised to go. France, China and allegedly Japan have arranged for their citizens to be vaccinated. The US should have done the same in addition to getting a promise that may be worthless from the Thai government to set aside a portion for foreigners. Outside its borders the US's consideration of foreigners and expats (like me) is often callous to put it mildly.

I can second what TerryS said.
I've never used it for a balance inquiry, only withdrawals. According to one website, the daily withdrawal limit is $1000 USD. Has anyone actually done this successfully?
