Vaccine Progress Overview...With Thailand Mention

[Pattaya Spotter]

New York Times article with a good overview of the current state of vaccine research and testing of first and second generation Covid corona virus vaccines...they even give a mention to the research being done by Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok.

 

At Chulalongkorn University, researchers have been investigating several potential candidates, including an RNA-based vaccine that will go into Phase 1 studies by early 2021. The vaccine is similar to one that Pfizer is now testing in late-stage clinical trials, but these scientists want the security of making their own version.

“While Thailand has to plan for buying vaccines, we should do our best to produce our own vaccine as well,” said Kiat Ruxrungtham, a professor at Chulalongkorn University. “If we are not successful this time, we will be capable to do much, much better in the next pandemic.”

 

What if the First Coronavirus Vaccines Aren’t the Best? https://nyti.ms/32paYp2

A very good thinking that they, if not successfully make a vaccine, will share with many other countries.

Great, let's hope China give us a new one soon then !

Dr. Kiat's comments discussing the possibility their vaccine effort might fail, like 90% of all vaccine candidates in history, is only being realistic. The bit about the next pandemic obviously means the experience and knowledge they gain in the current effort will assist them the next time a new corona virus comes around.

Expect we will be forcibly vaccinated, so have just ordered some stuff for detoxing heavy metals out of the body. Hopefully we wont get stuck with one of those mrna types, as the tech is so new, so will be the side effects.

 

Seems the Moderna mrna vaccine had 20% of those tested so ill they were hospitalized. Hopefully the longer term side effects will be manageable.

I'm NOT totally against vaccines at all, did a series of rabies shots after meeting a rude dog this summer...

 

BUT... What unknown poison will be cooked up by thoroughly corrupt mega-corps in collusion with political manipulators... NO way!

 

The only way I will do that willingly would be IF all documentation AND serious independent reporting indicate that it is safe on a time-horizon of at least a year or so.

 

Which basically might force me out of Thailand right after both getting married & setting up a company, probably going back to rent a cabin deep into some woodland in Europe for a while...

 

This totalitarian, global approach has to be stopped - whatever stand one might have on medicine or politics!
