rbmcn Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 14 hours ago, internationalism said: just yesterday they have approved 1.6bln for an unspecified vax, the next weak another 1.17bln for unspecified vax. why this secrecy, lack of transparency? $17 per shot is quite much, the top of what in Europe they are buying (and selling). Already 6bln was spend on astrazeneca. Looks, like another 6bln for this same company. They would be in the second part of 2021. money is flowing fast, but no vaccines If the vaccine origin is not disclosed, the origin is immediately obvious. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cake Monster Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 15 hours ago, snoop1130 said: Anutin did not identify the manufacturer of Thailand's first batch but said the ministry had negotiated a purchase price of US$17 per dose. Next week it will ask the Cabinet to approve a Bt1.17 billion budget for procurement of the 2 million doses. Correct me if i,m wrong, but has a Budget for Vaccine procurement already been passed.? If it has, what has happened to the original Budget. Why does the Money for these few Vaccines not come from the Budget that has already been approved. This could possibly be a procurement of some Vaccine other than the Oxford one, but ant an inflated price due to the urgency 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you follow the recommended precautions like washing hands,wear a mask, social distancing there should be no need to be vaccinated. Bangkok and it's surrounding provinces have water from the tap which is chlorinated perfect for sanitizing around the home..Shower, Wash clothes, wipe over surfaces, mop the floor, wash plates,utensils in the water ,all becomes germ free..The water from the tap is 100% drinkable. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tap water won't sanitize anything alone. And for sure it's not 100% drinkable. You know the source right? That big polluted river than runs through the middle of town. The delivery system is a bunch of poorly maintained pipes. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenon Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 The good news is the Astrazeneca shots only need to be chilled. The bad news is that after two shots the max protection is 70%. So not as effective as the others. 2 shots @ $17 = a few drinks. Better than paying for a hospital intensive care stay? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilornis Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Serum the major producer of the AZ vaccine in India has a production capacity of almost 100 million doses a month starting this month. A delivery of 2 million to Thailand in February is not impossible and if anything seems light. India will keep a lot of Serum's production but physically it probably cannot deliver more than 50 million doses to its population per month.There's a lot to go around. The AZ vaccine is also made elsewhere including the UK and Australia. Judging from the Australian reports you need about 3 months to brew your first commercial batch and then it's business as usual.(Over simplified I know.)

Pfizer, Moderna and Ox/Az are all booked up. Russian has limited Sputnik and not exporting yet. Only China is looking for guinea pigs to tests its many many vaccines on. CCP force test on own people regardless of what the side effects are. I certainly wont be getting a vaccine from the CCP. No time for bullies and thugs.

Popular Post Beechboy Posted January 1, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thailand is dragging it's feet over this vital matter. We have to hope that it doesn't come back to haunt them The UK has already reached the milestone of 1m Pfizer inoculations. It will begin to reel out it's own Oxford vaccine with 500, 000 doses on Monday. Various reports as to the efficacy of the latter range from 70% into the nineties depending upon the dosage. Apparently this confusion is due to a mix up with Italian trials. There was some initial confusion. It is far cheaper and requires less stringent handling measures. Oxford rings a comforting bell with me; but then I am English. Therefore it would be my vaccine of choice. Nobody pays one penny for it in the UK. That's how it should be. There will be no queue-jumping, no preferential treatment. There is a well planned regime. Mass vaccination has already begun throughout Europe. Ditto Russia. Supplies are being flown throughout the world. The end of February seems ridiculously tardy. Why on earth is this? There are already suggestions of profiteering ... let's hope these are unfounded. Pull your finger out Prayut. This is not a matter of politics or profit, it is about the health of your citizens. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in the US, some states are not following the CDC guidelines. Again. https://www.washingtonpost.com/health/2020/12/29/covid-vaccine-priority-group-elderly/ Texas, Florida and some other Republican-led states are bucking federal advice to provide early doses of the new coronavirus vaccines to front-line workers, choosing instead to prioritize the elderly — a decision exposing fissures in the nationwide immunization campaign.

Also keep in mind that these vaccines generally require two doses. So in general, divide by two. So these numbers are needless to say -- NOT IMPRESSIVE.
