I'm not supporting or questioning the veracity of the Thai Govt.'s figures but epidemiologists routinely do make predictions about when infections will crest and then begin to fall.

You're not taking into account the lag time between infections and death.. Infections always decline before deaths start to decline.

Tell the people who will be vaccinated if this happens that it's a failure. And by the way, I didn't see the word "donate" anywhere in the article. The verb used is "provide".

Same as handling requirements for Moderna

As of Aug 13, 2021, tThis is the cumulative number of various vaccination organized by manufacturer given by the South Korean government to its people. It was easily findable. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1219398/south-korea-covid-19-vaccinations-by-manufacturer/

But they do have to. And you're criticizing them for that.

Sweden has roughly twice the population of each of its 3 Nordic neighbors, Finland, Norway, and Denmark. Yet adjusted for population to date it has 9 times as many deaths as Norway, 4.5 times as many deaths as Finland, and 3.5 times as many deaths as Sweden. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/sweden?country=SWE~DNK~FIN~NOR But at least its economy did better than its neighbors, right? No, not really. "Plus, Sweden's economy still shrank 8.6% from April to June of last year — its largest quarterly fall in at least 40 years. By comparison, Denmark's economy shrank 7.4% during that time, Norway's 5.1%, and Finland's just 3.2%." https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-covid-no-lockdown-strategy-failed-higher-death-rate-2021-8

You'd rather they didn't ask?

I'm not going to dig into this but if it follows the pattern I've seen elsewhere, the vaccinated mortalities skew older than the unvaccinated ones. Which makes the case for being vaccinated even stronger.

I wasn't aware of any post where he claims to be a Caucasian. And Thai soap operas feature a disproportionate number of luke krueang (half Thai half Farang) actors. Are they Thai (in the racial sense) or Caucasian?

Possibly raised in a bilingual home?

Thanks. I wasn't thinking outside of the (sand)box.

Well, there really isn't enough information to make an informed choice about how effective it is against preventing hospitalizations and deaths against the Delta variant. But there is plenty of evidence via large real world studies that Sinovac's vaccine is not dangerous.

Actually, only Pfizer has been approved for full use on adults by the US FDA. Moderna should be approved shortly.

Well, when someone returns who has been fully vaccinated abroad, they are entered into a database of some kind. Whether or not it links to the vaccine passport system, who knows?

So even if you die from being infected by the virus, you still win?

Because most likely your symptoms will be less severe. As someone else recently noted.

Not a law. A regulation. And apparently the University does have the legal authority to do just that.

You would think so, but given their lack of comments here, this information looks like it's already been dispatched to their collective memory hole.

Currently, the vast majority of deaths are of those who haven't been vaccinated. Kind of argues against a strategy of catching covid in order to beat covid, doesn't it?

What scenarios? This is a basic statistics. It boils down to a simple issue: Is it better to contract covid in order to beat covid? Yes or no?

Yes, it provides better protection against contracting it again. So, do you think that the best way to defeat covid is to get covid? Do you understand that while contractinig and beating covid may provide better protection than 2 Pfizer jabs, contracting and dying from Covid not so much.

You don't think there's a significant difference between your previous claim that that vaccination makes you more likely to catch covid vs. vaccination makes you more likely to catch covid than does being previously infected with covid? True, research does seem to show that if you get covid you are better protected than if you are vaccinated. So the best way to protect yourself from getting covid is to get covid? Really? Just so long as you don't die or suffer serious long term effects from the first bout. But that's a minor consideration.

B.S. I followed consulates registration instructions and subsequently got offered Pfizer at McCormick in Chiangmai.

He's claiming their comments are inspired by fear. Yet their comments tally with those of the vast majority of epidemiologists and virologists. So comments that agree with the science are inspired by fear?
