Popular Post crazykopite Posted October 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2020 Great news if it happens and pleasing to know that the Thailand government have already signed up for a vaccine that has been discovered by dirty smelly farangs at Oxford University which is based in the U.K. .i hope the U.K. government will first ensure that every individual living in the U.K. will be offered the vaccine before suppling to other countries who regard us as dirty, smelly Covid carriers. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dare to say a large number of individuals living in UK do not want to be vaccinated and will not be forced, unlike Thailand, where no doubt either through propaganda or even threat of force, people will be forced to get vaccinated. Then some 6-12 months later, when virus mutates, they will start to scratch their heads how this was possible. Bit like there is no covid in Thailand, zero cases and yet thai arriving from Thailand testing positive in other countries. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Anutin understands that the more people vaccinated (with an effective vaccine) the better. I'll be very surprised if, in the attempt to achieve herd immunity, we're cut from the herd.

How can 'certain hospitals' cancel the 30Baht medical card? Just your negativity deliberately working overtime. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vandeventer Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 This all sounds good to me! Much better than the Chinese or Russian vaccine. I hope the cost will not be too high as most Thai's are very short of money. A large step in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No forced vaccines... no one is going to force vaccinate you. It's all voluntary. Just don't expect to ever be able to travel, live where you choose on the planet, go back to work, get your government retirement check etc., etc. Totally voluntary. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chilli42 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Have they considered the length of time it will take to vaccinate the Thai population? Some time 2022 would be my guess. Have they considered that it’s unlikely the vaccine will be more than 60% effective? That many will refuse to be vaccinated ... myself among them. Will they demand foreigners be vaccinated before they are allowed to enter the country? In light of this, what are the objective triggers that will move them to open the county. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What does the Thailand government have to do with expats and vaccines? You are a non immigrant citizen of another country living in Thailand on an extension of stay. Nothing is unclear about that in the Thailand society. You are not a Thai citizen and no matter how much money you spend in Thailand, you will never be a Thai citizen.

British Bulldog Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 My fear is seeing the first batches hit every University in Thailand to see if they can copy the Vaccine and produce their own, then sell to the public and maybe other overseas Countries, just like the Uni's have done for years with Software ... cracking some of the worlds leading software packages and selling them off at 150 Bt ....

Die off in Europe, strapped in a machine. Help yourself, register for the vaccine and get one of these yellow WHO vaccination cards where your vaccination gets documented.

dogfish180 Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 But why does Thailand need a vaccine? They have handled Covid better than any country in the world, and have zero cases ???????????????????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaiyen Posted October 10, 2020 Share Posted October 10, 2020 Why does Thailand think it has priority over European countries ? Just because they have signed a worthless document. They sign lots of MOU's in Thailand that mean nothing in the future. The reality is that there is no chance of a vaccine for us for at least 2 years if all goes well. Need to test it on the human guinea pigs first. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why they have volunteers who take the risk as a human guinea pig. I did this too as a poor student, and I got paid quite well. They explained everything in advance, so it was informed consent. The real guinea pigs in Germany - with no informed consent at all - are tumbling around in mental hospitals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bluetongue Posted October 10, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2020 The narrative of the only strategy to deal with Covid is to wait for a vaccine feels to me like a cargo cult mentality. Increasingly how effective and safe the vaccine candidates are is being forgotten, in favour of how soon can people get it, how much etc, as if its a 100% certainty. Ah the humanity. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
