The jab doesn't change your DNA. And the virus does make you sick. Or dead. Plus, it helps others as we try to get herd immunity against this virus. People with chronic diseases are getting the jab. They are some of the first to get it. Where do you get your news from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The idiots are those that believe you can't get it again or that those that have had the vaccine are incapable of spreading it. Unlikely policy will change much before the majority of the Thai population has been vaccinated. In Norway for intstance we do not get a certificate, but if you can prove that you have had covid and show a negativ test not older than 6 months when you enter the border (as a Norwegian citizen back from a red zone abroad) you do not need to be quarantined as you are not considered as contagious - so yes, in this matter a kind of a certificate ...

Certainly not the idiotic ideas that I have seen over the last few months. Everything seems to lead back to quarantine being the answer although there has been a number of cases happened to people that have been in quarantine. Even with Covid spiking seriously in their own country they still think it is not happening its coming from outside. Hello waken up, your country is going down the pan quickly and all you can think about is spending money on railways, submarines etc WHAT ABOUT YOUR OWN PEOPLE !! ????????

As they didn't order it on time, that might be between mid 2022 or never. Probably never as they have only ordered enough for the important 20% of the population.

david555 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Vaccination needs 2 shots with a period of 3 weeks in between .... , and after the last shot a few weeks to build up immunity {temporary...?) .... so count the complete time frame you could be safe for yourself ( at least 5 weeks + in total ....., and it is not (yet) proven if after vaccinate you can still pass a contamination to others... yes /no ?..... the vaccination is not a virus killer in direct contact ...

We will never return to the way things used to be. Never going back to normal. Not according to Klaus Schwab, the U.N., the International Monetary Fund and others. Pay attention to the upcoming Davos Conference. Covid-19 and Global Warming/Climate Change.....walking hand in hand for a big agenda. Get used to your face muzzle. What a ridiculous statement. Never heard such a thing. We have an extremely suitable vaccination. I will guarantee (so does the financial market and the medical world) that everything will be more or less normal by the end of summer 2021. It's just a matter of having the infrastructure vaccination in place. Don't spread nonsense. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve DaPilot Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Although i certainly respect those here who defend the government's decisions for their own sovereign right on who can and cannot enter LOS. But.....for those here who are defending the LOGIC of not trusting the efficiacy of the vaccines i must disagree strongly ! Some of these commenters are saying that it has not been proven yet blah blah blah are just flat out wrong ! The most credible of the vaccines have had serious and medically proven stage 1, 2 and 3 trials. These ARE the proof ! Maybe officially, Thailand has not approved them yet but UK and other countries have and there is no reason to expect that LOS will reject them (imagine the backlash that would result!). So stop saying that this is the safe thing to do. Its like we say in the aviation industry: "the safest way to prevent accidents is to not fly at all". But this is not reasonable ! Ok - as Forrest Gump famously said "...and that's all i got to say bout that" !! ???? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fondue zoo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Looking ahead the worldwide reaction to the covid virus will more than likely set the tone for all future viral outbreaks affecting the planet. Barring a remarkable leap forward in medical technology the steps to mitigate/bypass a selection process that has been around since life began will be the same. Not to mention the human penchant for shenanigans when telling the truth of the when, what and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaopad999 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 In all fairness, this so called vaccine for Covid was majorly rushed & so far there is no evidence to show that it's actually effective, or even safe for that matter! But the question is, are the Thai government actually concerned about this, or are they just using this as a excuse to extort more money from foreigners? Also, does this rule apply to Thai people that have traveled abroad to get a shot of this vaccine? Only time will tell i guess.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
