Why is Japan not producing a local development vaccine?

Is the pharmaceutical industry in Japan not very advanced?

 

no if it is for free ?

Same thing happened to my Thai wife's mother who is 91 years old and is now referred  to a shopping mall on 7 July......The old lady needs a wheelchair and this shopping mall cannot handle this

The catch-22 is: not reopening is also gambling with the life of millions of Thai ppl.... 

 

This was the Trump strategy before Easter last year in the US and now they have more than 600.000 people dead from COVID

So, what happened to American "rugged individualism"?

If the US embassy starts vaccinating it's own citizens, then that counts as the dreaded socialism/communism that most Americans are against (and don't understand). I'm sure you don't want that.

 

As I'm not scared of socialism, it would be great if the embassies did help out.

The Russian friends living in our condo got a Sputnik vaccine at their Embassy in Bangkok

here in the Bangkadi district of Pathum Thani city the local authority started yesterday to register (Thai only) residents to get Sinopharm

Might be worth just going to your local hospital, several have reported walk in Jabs and my Mrs did a walk in registration last week. 

I went to a well known university hospital at 10' drive from my house.  On the 3rd  floor they were giving shots but only for they own staff and relatives and at a registration boot somewhere else on the campus no foreigners allowed for registration

What is the problem?
Intervac seems to be open for consultation to everybody about everybody.
I think it is a social service to inform me that the nice lady living next us has the underlying medical condition called syphilis.

I am 77 and I have already an account with ThailandIntervac but each time I try to login (between 12 noon and 15h00) I need once more to fill details that I have no previous medical conditions etc  etc..  Then I can choose between Sinovac or Astrazeneca ...in 4 hospitals situated in Bangkok...but  the appointment calendar is blank for more than one year.

Did I understand well that from to-day also hospitals in the provinces  could be selected?

Thammasat Hospital refuses to accept appointment because they need further instructions from the Government .....and this is a leading hospital of Thailand.

I am 77 and living at 15' drive from this hospital and they have my medical records...what shall I do ?

"everyone registered with Mor Prom and scheduled to receive a COVID-19 vaccination this June 7-9, will get their jab"

 

Most of the appointments made through Mor Prom were well after those dates, indeed well into July.

 

So actually what they are saying is that the majority of people with appointments made through that system may not get vaccinated  on the day of their appointment.

 

In my area the local hospital just released a notice that those with appointments for the 7th will be vaccinated on  the 7th, those with appointments on the 8th will be vaccinated on the 8th, and everyone else "wait to be notified".

 

Obviously not enough vaccine on hand now.

 

On a positive note, my appointment is the 8th and I just got an SMS confirmation. Stay tuned....

I did not know that I could register online (I am foreigner with only a passport) and I thought that from 7 June I could register myself at the nearby university hospital where they have my medical data since a very long time (because of yearly general checkups) : did I misunderstand?

This seems to be a Line sign-up page.  Why?

Could it be that LINE is not a legal communication method like for instance email ?

sorry but this is not only wrong but also ridiculous to believe it could be true.

either a case of miss in translation or a thai person talking to another thai person...

 

I bought CBD and THC from ALL clinics that exist in BKK and CHONBURI and never had to bring any doctor certificate ! If you need one, they will make it for you and of course charge you for it, but most of the time they do not even bother to ask one (especially dealers places where there is no doctor on site).

 

Anyway, you should know that things like this should not be asked over the phone, especially by a Thai, because this is grey area and they are not going to tell you on the phone that they sell anything to anybody !

 

If you really need it go to any clinic and you will get it right away, you can also order it online, so many sellers.

And please no blabla about the real ingredients list of the oil, etc, only boring expats keep thinking when we are already so lucky to get THC and CBD freely in Thailand ! And so cheap !

 

 

I wanted to try it for my pain to avoid terrible prescribed pain killers such as Ultracet / but I read that I needed a reference from my doctor who is a neurologist at a leading government hospital....and now this neurologist refused to give a reference telling me that CBD is..... B.S.

100 Jews. 100 opinions. I'm aware of him. Just mentioning a Jew that promotes a narrative that you like proves basically nothing. Israel exists whether people like it or not. They're never going to volunteer to not exist.

I do not disagree with you : according to Prof Yuval Noah Harari all republics or kingdoms or empires are a "fiction" and can exist as long as enough people believe in it. Indeed Israel has since 1948 established itself with enough people believing in it so that it will not go away in the near future (the same applies to the other nations of this troubled region of which borders were drawn after World War I )

So you're saying that Israel isn't Israeli's country? That's an outrageous assertion. 

Maybe Australia isn't Australian's country then.

But nobody says that.

Curious that the one country in the world that is the Jewish homeland is singled out for such baldy hypocritical denigration.

I think you should read the book (or Youtube video) by Israeli Prof History Shlomo Sand  "The invention of the land of Israel" and what he has been teaching for many years to a Jewish audience at Tel Aviv University.

what kind of skills do Thai workers have so that they can find  a job in Gaza where the unemployment rate is about 50%?

very interesting :  please keep this updated

First I did not believe my wife when she the told me about the need for a mask when we are both in the same car without other passengers...what come next :  the need to have masks when sleeping in the same bed (...and do not consider group sex ?????)

Diazepam is a benzodiazepine which can make you seriously addicted / this substance can only be given with a doctors prescription

The condo manager can say whatever he wants, and eventually you can do whatever you please. 

 

He complains, ignore him. He fines you, don't pay it. 

 

Eventually they may sue you, but if you have money you can find a lawyer and sue them back for not being up to code on fire suppression capabilities (happens in 90% of the condos).... 

 

If you have time and money you can stand your ground, and mess with them til the point they will just ignore you.

It is unfortunate for the other co-owners but what you write is true
