Perhaps AZ thought the future of the eu looked suspect and didn,t want to get knocked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soikhaonoiken Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 So Thailand Intensives its talks now... Why did they wait so long before securing orders for this vaccine, did the powers that be think that this virus would just disappear on its own, and the Thai population wouldn't need to be vaccinated.... This virus has been about for over a year now, but looks like Thailand has missed the boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ukrules Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 1 hour ago, oldhippy said: Belgium put the limit at 55 ! They're nuts. My mother who's in her mid 70's was vaccinated a week ago with the AZ vaccine, she's been having an immune response as you would expect with any working vaccine while it does its job which is to trigger the immune system. She's been feeling extra tired and even had some mild chills, similar to what happened after the flu shot she received before the winter. If it didn't work then this wouldn't happen, that's why they use real vaccines for some other condition as placebos during trials, because if it doesn't work it might as well be saline. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South Korea has contract to manufacture. Canada which contributed $400 million to Covax will obtain 2 million AZ doses from South Korea plant to make up for its shortfall in Pfizer/Moderna vaccines through its COVAX agreement. This was on Asia news roundup yesterday. Thailand can do the same thing.................. oh wait................... How much did Thailand contribute to COVAX program again? Some countries have different priorities. Edited February 4, 2021 by Patong2021 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The people of the EU countries will not be happy when COVID disappears to the extent that no more lockdowns will be required in the UK in just 3 to 4 months time. Everyone over the age of 18 will be vaccinated within this approximate time period. The EU are working hard to make sure this doesn't happen - but they're not going to be able to stop it. They (the sneering EU sycophant governments) will be shamed and their people will hate them for it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 Just commented on another thread with Anutin boasting about the possibility of an 'early purchase' of vaccines. Now we have this boob talking about the possibility of a 'quick purchase'. What we have, ministers, is neither 'early' or 'quick'. And, as always, another day, another minister just jabbering uselessly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted February 5, 2021 Share Posted February 5, 2021 exactly at the same time, when permanent secretary to ministry of health was talking about intensifying talks with EU, the minister of health said, that thailand will import AZ from asia, but not naming the country https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-thailand/thailand-to-get-vaccine-from-asia-after-eu-export-control-minister-says-idUKKBN2A4177 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
