There should be some good peer reviews and so on. I have a problem with those who will not take it at all. (it all depends how long a wait ect) But those that don't want to take it do want to benefit from countries opening up economies going well again but at the same time not doing their part. As stated they put groups at risk who can't take the vaccin or don't respond to it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There will be always non responders to vaccin. There will be those who cannot take it for medical reasons. The larger the pool of people who refuse to take it the larger the risk to the two before mentioned groups. I ride a motorbike I got insurance for it i pay for it. But if i get hit on it I don't risk others like anti vaxers do (like i just explained). You forget Thailand is quite a totalitarian state already and you did not move out of it. (not saying that i like totalitarian states but you said move to China or North Korea) So that would also mean you would move out of a totalitarian state so why are you still here with the army in charge ? if there are always non responders and people who cannot have vaccines then your statement of everyone needs to take it is moot more vehicles on the road, means more risk of an accident, so better you don't ever ride your bike ever again to reduce the risk of an accident for the rest of us???? and now you already implying people should leave here because they are not prioritizing your fears????♂️ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does not make me even safer as I would have taken the vaccin already. So it would not help me any extra. Vaccins do need a large group of people to take it to be effective. You want all the economical benefits and opening up of countries gone of restrictions but not willing to pay a price. Selfish nothing more nothing less. You keep trying to sell it but in the end your not willing to accept that there is a price. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course the statement is not moot , because the more people who take the vaccine the higher coverage there is the lower the risk to the non responders and people who don't take it.

Popular Post Bender Rodriguez Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 (edited) those who want to take it, should take it those who can read the label of ingredients and never took a flu vaccine and survived great without them for the last decades, SHOULD NOT BE FORCED ! if people believe the vaccine works, they are protected and have nothing to fear, right ? always speak about the young & old ... vulnerable... right ? new born babies don't have the immune system where a vaccine can do anything and 65+ people , their immune already is down by old age and vaccination is less effective https://www.google.com/search?q=flu+vaccine+not+effective+in+elderly this is just about flu vaccine The flu vaccine can be less effective in elderly adults. That's because the flu vaccine works by priming the body's own immune system to mount a response to the virus if it's encountered. Older adults may have weaker immune systems, and therefore a weaker immune response to the vaccine.

Popular Post geriatrickid Posted July 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2020 Ok, enough of the imagined facts about the Oxford vaccine. let's deal with the reality. 1. It is wonderful that some British will not want a vaccine. It will be impossible to manufacture, distribute and dose the amount of vaccine needed to protect the population. It is estimated that only 1 million doses of the vaccine will be available in the UK by Christmas. Therefore, if some idiots do not wish to be vaccinated, they are doing others a service. It will take at least 2-3 years to have enough people vaccinated. We do not have enough vials or syringes to distribute the vaccine. Therefore, no one is going to be forcing the vaccine on anyone for 2-5 years. On the contrary, we will see wide scale panic and fights over the scarce availability. 2. There are corona virus vaccines available and they have been successfully used on cats, dogs, cattle and swine herds for some time. For those of you citing movies and imaginary outcomes, you have been eating pork and beef products that were vaccinated against the animal's specific corona virus type and yet you are still alive. 3. Although the SARS Cov-2 vaccine will be new, a large part of the work is not. Heroic advances were made during the SARS and MERS crises. The Oxford Vaccine Group has a history of successful vaccine development. The French, Canadian and US governments also have a history of vaccine development that has been directly applied to the current vaccines in development. One of the reasons why the Russians and chinese specifically targeted the UK, US and Canadian researchers was that they were trying to steal the knowledge and/or sabotage advances. Whoever gets the vaccine to market first will earn enormous prestige and political clout. This is why the Chinese have been pushing their vaccines. 4. I would avoid a Chinese sourced or originated vaccine. Unfortunately, some countries have put their faith in the Chinese options. 5. Much of the anti vaxx campaigns are based upon false information and are encouraged by charlatans who make a healthy profit from the promotion of such falsehoods. The evil scoundrel who promoted the autism fraud is now promoting false claims about Covid19 vaccines. He makes a very lucrative living from his activities. 1 hour ago, BKKBike09 said: Maybe they are of the view that until a vaccine has been properly trialled clinically (tens of thousands of patients over years: not 45 people over 30 days wtc), and possible complications and potential side-effects properly understood, the risk for them might not be worth it. Ironically the potential for an adverse reaction to a hurriedly produced vaccine is greatest in the elderly and those with weakened immune systems or other serious underlying health issues - the groups most at risk from serious illness from Covid. The Oxford vaccine has already been shown to be safe at very high doses (Phase I). Phase II has shown that it is safe in respect to those who have the infection. Phase III is what is now being launched and will verify the vaccine safety. Typically for the majority of patients we see most adverse reactions within the first 30-60 days. Obviously there are extended discovery tails and adverse reactions can sometimes be identified at a later time. However, with a vaccine of this nature, it is unlikely there will be long term discoveries. BTW, there are few clinical trials that use tens of thousands of patients. it is too expensive. Also too difficult to find participants. Typically 2500 -5000 patient range for Phase III. And usual Phase III trial period is 1-2 years. The Oxford vaccine Phase III trial will have 10,000 patients in Britain, 30,000 in the USA and brazil and South Africa at least 7,000 patients. tyhere will be a special subset of patients age 70+ to measure efficacy and safety. In respect to the Phase II Oxford trial, there were 1007 patients, not 45 and those patients are still being monitored. 53 minutes ago, meechai said: I am neither here not there about who takes what but....... When I see someone like you who otherwise seems intelligent say such a silly thing I wonder..... Obviously your pro vaccination so that is fine & you will have it if it materializes but.... Why the vitriol towards someone who does not want it? Where you the same every year towards anyone previously? If someone didn't take say the Polio vaccine would you want them also cast into outer darkness? Do you not believe in your vaccine? You took it so does your worry not end there? On a side note my Thai cousin is a lifetime polio wheelchair case as she contracted Polio as a child in Thailand after receiving the Polio Vaccination (hot batch happens more often than many realize) But on the good side the Queen of Thailand has a program for such folks & has taken care of her/supported her in school etc. YOu do not understand a vaccine. And because you do not understand, you dismiss it. 1. Vaccines are not guaranteed. Some people do not develop immunity. We see this with hepatitis B. Because it does not work on about 10% of the population, does not mean it is a failure. The 90% of the population it works for are protected, and 90% is a pretty good result. 2. Vaccines do not promise complete immunity. They can rpromote an immune response such that the full symptoms of the infection are not manifested. This is typical of flu vaccines. Instead of ending up in an ICU or a serious respiratory illness, the infection may be mild and pass in a few days. Your example of the polio infection is unreasonable. Without identifying the type of vaccine and the numberr of times your cousin was vaccinated, one doesn't know if she was fully vaccinated. It's 3-4 doses and at specified ages. Many people did not follow through on their schedules. Also people can be infected before they were vaccinated. 39 minutes ago, Peter Denis said: Did it ever occur to you that those 'selfish people' you want to punish, might have very good reasons for refusing vaccination? The only selfish one here is yourself, who wants to punish those with other convictions because they would - in your opinion - benefit from the 'free ride' by those that choose to get vaccinated. I am disgusted by such attitude! With the exception of some rare medical conditions, there are no good reasons to not vaccinate. You should be disgusted with yourself for supporting a large number of ignorant selfish people. outside of a medical condition, what reasonable justification is there to not be vaccinated if one wishes to avail himself of medical care paid for by others and to access public venues? It is quite accurate to use the term 'free ride'. basically, these selfish people ask that others accept the small risk of vaccination so that they can slide through life. 1 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People who don't vaccinate put others at risk because some of those who do take it are non responders. The larger the group of people taking it the smaller the group that can be infected (someone not taking the vaccine has a large chance to get it) while of those who take the vaccine a small number can still take it. But with enough people taking it the risk for that group is lower. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those kind of selfish people should be punished. You see it in my country in the bible belt. So yea i have a thing against anti vaxers. Also the risks are low (this will be tested well) and I believe in that without some stick you get more and more selfish people who want a free ride. I doubt they will release a vaccine that has serious risks not when its for the whole world. You can't deny that over all the vaccines safe more lives then they ever affect negatively. So why would some people then get a free ride (as a matter of speech). Let them then pay for their free ride in other ways with limitations to certain things like travel to certain countries. I for one am totally for that. They can still refuse but have to give up something, just like those who don't refuse take a small risk for the greater good.
