As a regular customer in markets, people throw in something free for me sometimes...

Well, Well, I will beleave it when I see it, as I will with the ongoing roll out of the vaccination... 

[elgenon]

I hope that the Chinese vaccines are not fake . Not that I have ever heard of the Chinese making fakes of anything. : )

[howbri]

If you think things are bad now, wait till you get the Chinese made vaccine. Never for me.

[Scouse123]

The two most highly rated vaccines at present, and not getting much coverage, are the Russian one Sputnik, which was shot down in flames in the beginning by scientific bodies. It has now been peer reviewed and passed with flying colours.

 

The second one is the Johnson and Johnson requiring one dose, easily stored and distributed and cheap.

It would be great if the Thai government were to provide free coronavirus vaccinations to all foreigners that are living here legally.  It should include those on PR, retirement visas, education visas, and work permit holders.  Whether this will happen remains to be seen.  If non-Thais were made to pay for the vaccine I would hope that the fee would be nominal.  

What about all the volunteer visa holders...at the rate it's going everyone here under 50 will be volunteering at their local barstool soon.

Once they start pumping these vaccines into the population then we will see the death rate from covid go up.

[uli65]

all these insane vaccine junkies here  will run away in a couple of month when they see the unexpected outcome of this toxic cocktail. I will watch this show with pleasure.

Being the holder of both a yellow book and a pink ID card as well as being a registered patient at our local Amphur hospital -- I'll believe it when I see it. 
I've never received any free medical services from any Thai hospital be it government or private.  Never offered.  Never expected to be honest.

" I'll believe it when I see it."

Sums up this forum, the majority believe that if they are not aware of something, then it doesn't exist.

BTW. Free medical services do not come from any Thai hospital, government initiatives that may be conducted at a hospital under local government control. The mobile health units in this area usually operate in a temple, appointments obtained from the local authority.

It will be May before they even start the vaccines, so *if* it becomes available to falang it won't be till July at the earliest, lot of time for many U turns on their route.

From what I am reading on the Web Browser Today =   Several people have passed away overnight,  after the needle-   ,  I am not convinced of the Efficacy of these various Covid Vaccinations,   Maybe at the Age of 90, I might prefer to take my chances??????

Since private hospitals are allowed to get into the vaccine game, we’ll probably have a choice. I’m not putting the Chinese garbage in my body. I’ll hold out for a more trusted and effective vaccine.

Please!  Tell me which one to trust and go with then-  I am 90,  and want to get another ten years here if possible-  But most, are causing takers to pop off within twenty four hours- according to a Browser Today!

Best interests of the country being to vaccinate everyone. Maybe we shouldn't expect the powers that be to have them best interests in mind, but that's another issue.

[nrasmussen]

For me personally it doesn't matter if I have to pay for the vaccine or not, as my health insurance has already advised me that they will pay if I cannot get it for free.

 

What does matter to me, however, is that as many people as possible must be vaccinated, and obviously, not free for all will be counterproductive.

In trials some also died following injection with the placebo. Did the saline placebo kill them also? I haven't found evidence of a causal link between a covid vaccination and someone's demise

Paryut: "Does this China vaccine even work?"

 

Anutin: "Donno."

 

Today, Health and Concrete Minister Anutin announced the roughly 200,000 farangs in Thailand will be vaccinated, first.

 

Chinese vaccine is only 40 to 50% Effective, I prefer to wait for the Proper Vac.

You mean you are prepared to wait for this vaccine?

Oxford Covid vaccine has 10% efficacy against South African variant, study suggests

Sinovac's vaccine so-called 50% efficacy rate was from Brazilian clinical trials. But the efficacy rate of this vaccine from clinical trials in Turkey was 91%.  In Indonesia it was 65%. Different variants  in different countries producing different efficacy rates?

With more and more variants popping up, we can all throw all earlier trial results of whatever vaccine out there into the trashcan.
