Another Thai misunderstanding when caught and yet another committee which of course is staffed by the same mob, so nothing will happen.

It just goes on and on ...

Nobody died in Thailand today? Or did you mean no autopsies were conducted on the dead in Thailand today? If you live here you will know that autopsies or test are very rare. Simply burn the body.

You really zeroed in on the important aspect of the message. Just in case you really are stupid - it was reported nobody died of CV-19- is what the report was .

The submarine commanders of old Chiang Mai town come first  it is Thainess ????

Given the efficacy of the Sinovac vaccine they are welcome to it....

Efficacy rate of 83.5% is not good enough?

 

China's Sinovac 83.5% effective: Turkish university

sure are an inordinate number of mis-understandings in thailand

The whole existence is a mis-understanding..., 

The Essex Vaccine is 100% effective,

with plenty of side effects.

But in the body of their story they merely quoted Prayuth as saying that exactly who gets the vaccine first is up to each province and that more evidence was needed.

So, if the Hi-So leaders want to give their Hi-So friends the vaccine first?  Then according to Prayuth it's up to the province.  (just don't blame him!).

It could be 93.5% but the China haters would still bash it as garbage. 
For me personally, it's my preferred choice.  it has to do with the vaccine technology (decades of testing) and nothing to do with the country which manufacturers the vaccine.

Had I been back in the UK I would have been vaccinated in mid February, the paperwork was mailed to the house I use over there.

 

But I'm not in the UK, so no vaccine for me.

I have two sisters over there..both them and their husbands have had their first shots..A mate in London also who was offered it because others had refused it so he seized the moment as he wasn't due to get it till April.He told me a lot of ethnics were refusing to have the vaccine so spare slots were available practically every day at his local GP.I seriously doubt Thailand will have its act together anytime soon given the corruptible culture of how everything 'operates' here.They are basically going to stand back and let the rest of the world get the vaccine then just open the borders again and let everyone in as quick as possible when they have their vaccine certificate.UK are talking about International tourism by the end of June..so should be an interesting few months listening to the <deleted> that will no doubt come out of TAT's mouths!

There are two problems.

Firstly, many close to, perhaps even in government, have invested heavily in providing quarantine, insurance and other facilities required by the STV scheme. The expected happy time did not happen, so they will want to at least recoup their investment, and probably turn an eventual profit, before quarantine will be relaxed.

 

Secondly, clear misunderstandings need to be reached and informal protocols put in place to ensure that any vaccination programme is run in a suitably "Thai' way. This takes time, to ensure that no body important is left out of the process.

It's also a wiser choice in the face of so many emerging variants. mRNA (Pfizer, Moderna) and viral vector (such as AstraZeneca, Sputnik V) vaccines invade cells and commandeer them to produce spike proteins. Inactivated Covid-19 vaccines such as those produced by Sinopharm and Sinovac do not invade cells and they produce an immune response that target many parts of the Sars-Cov-2 virus instead of just the spikes.

Yes and reports that Cyprus is the first country to allow Brits' in from May 23rd who can prove vaccination..Let the flood gates open I suspect from then when everybody else wants a piece of the almighty tourist dollar!

And 6,391 new cases and 343 new deaths in the United Kingdom and 35 new cases in Thailand no new deaths today. So what is your problem? can't find a flight back?

And how many cases would be found in Thailand if they mass tested the  same amount of people as the UK does?
