That is, as we all HOPE, if the antibodies work against mutated covid.

Once Europe and the USA are vaccinated.............should the rest of the world be banned from travelling as they are not  yet ?

 

New survey !!!!!!

  And soon there'll be a European war who can get a plane ticket to Thailand.

 

 

There'll be a revolution.

 

Way too many people are attracted to all those super clean beaches, and the healthy air in Bangkok and CM. 

 

   And adding all the hubs Thailand is well known for, those white smelly and dirty Farang could go to a Thai school and learn Thainess to be able to live a good life with real values and unreal monks. 

 

  Hallelujah! Let's pray.

There is many reasons for most people to vaccinate even inside country already, since the more of the population living here do take the vaccin, the more restraint the population will be for new massive outbreaks, even there obvious have not been such in Thailand yet. When at least 50 - 70 % is vaccinated, it will be easy to controll, and life can go on as normal. Numbers shows in wester world   that most likely 40% - 50% of population will not vaccinate themself volountery. 

 

 

Just an random link of more same alike from other countries. 

 

"WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Americans' willingness to be vaccinated against COVID-19 rebounded a bit in October, as seen in Gallup polling conducted before Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna made promising announcements about the likely effectiveness of their coronavirus vaccines. Fifty-eight percent of Americans in the latest poll say they would get a COVID-19 vaccine, up from a low of 50% in September."

What you are referring to is known as herd immunity. Two ways to achieve that, a slow controlled infection rate is one, vaccine is another. A combination of both is a third way. This virus seems to impossible to keep at a controlled rate though. Thailand has a very low herd immunity as the infection rate has been "too slow", therefore would a second wave be potentially disastrous. But the time before a vaccine will be available for the vast majority in Thailand is still pretty far away. And vaccination has to be volunterly of course, it can't be forced on a population. But it can be mandatory for arrivals.

It is known that all coronaviruses constantly mutate the vaccine here within a few months they will become useless in stopping the covid.

If it was a DNA virus yes but it's not, it's a RNA virus. And all viruses mutate. Google it before you post nonsense.

Thailand and especially the neighbouring countries won't get protection by vaccination for years, if ever. It will be interesting to see how long they will remain closed as many parts of the world will start the vaccinations sooner and more efficiently than Thailand and begin opening up. I doubt Thailand would want to to stay behind and lose another high season but if they are very strict about zero covid policies then that is what they have to do with a vulnerable population. I expect the country to keep high hurdles until 2022 at least.

The question is why thailand have not been hit as hard as other countries?

 

Do they:

Have som kind of imunity already?

Bloodtype?

Clima?

Do not practice western custom, ?handshake, hugging etc?

Good practice to wear mask?

 

Europeens have quite alot of people with neanderthaler genes? Id that an factor and bloodtype + clima? 

 

I do not see a huge outbrake coming in thailand as long they keep doing what they have done so far until vaccin have been given.

Have you read your own quoted article?

It is not black and white.

 

SOME QUOTES from the article:

 

This past year has demonstrated the capacity to rapidly produce vaccines, which hopefully can be modified to reflect new mutations and merging strains should they occur.

 

Considering what we know about how the virus mutates and the rate of these mutations, the first generation of COVID-19 vaccines look likely to provide some protection against currently circulating SARS-CoV-2 strains.

 

These mutations emerged when the coronavirus jumped from humans to minks and back again.

To avoid the potentially disastrous implications of this new combination of variants rapidly spreading in humans, millions of minks were culled in Denmark, Spain and the Netherlands.

However, not all scientists are convinced of the potential impact of this combination of mutations. So studies are currently under way to better understand their impact.

Not years, but late.

My understanding is that the vaccinations won't start here until about May and of course the supplies will be limited at first, so it won't be nearly enough to get everyone that wants it that soon. How long for that? Only a guess -- end of this year, first quarter next year.
