webfact Posted March 26, 2021 Share Posted March 26, 2021 FILE PHOTO: A health worker holds a syringe and a vial of the Sinovac coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccine at a market after hundreds of local residents in the district tested positive for COVID-19 in Bangkok, Thailand, March 17, 2021. REUTERS/Athit Perawongmetha/File Photo BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thai health officials rushed to calm public fears on Friday after confirming a man had died 10 days after receiving a COVID-19 vaccine earlier this month. The cause of death was from an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and rupture, senior health official Sopon Mekton said, adding the country's vaccination campaign would continue. The man was inoculated on March 3 and died on March 13. "I am confident this death is from the aneurysm and not related to the vaccine," Sopon told a news conference. An AAA is the swelling of the main blood vessel that leads from the heart and ruptures can be fatal. The man, whose age was not disclosed, had a pre-existing health condition and had undergone surgery in January, said health official Tawee Chotpitayasunond, describing it as "a time bomb in the body". Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul urged the public to take vaccines. So far, Thailand has administered about 136,000 doses of coronavirus vaccines, mostly using those of China's Sinovac Biotech but AstraZeneca vaccines have also been given. Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha was the first in Thailand to receive an AstraZeneca shot on March 16, which was delayed by several days after reports in Europe of blood clots among some recipients. Those inoculated in Thailand so far have been frontline medical workers or groups seen as at risk due to potential exposure to the virus, or their age and pre-existing health conditions. Thailand has reported 28,577 coronavirus infections and 92 fatalities.

webfact Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 Thailand investigates a post-COVID-19 inoculation death Thai public health officials are investigating the death of a COVID-19 vaccine recipient. Vice Minister of Public Health, Dr. Sophon Mekthon, said Friday that the fatality was one of two vaccine recipients who had developed severe side effects, with the deceased having suffered from an aortic aneurysm prior to inoculation and the other developing urticaria (hives). An aortic aneurysm is a balloon-like bulge in the aorta, the large artery that carries blood from the heart through the chest and torso. The pressure of blood pumping through it can split the layers of the artery, allowing blood to leak between its layers, or burst and disgorge blood into the abdomen.

webfact Posted March 26, 2021 Author Share Posted March 26, 2021 COVID Vaccine Not Blamed for Death BANGKOK, March 26 (TNA) - A patient's death after COVID-19 vaccination did not result from the inoculation, according to the health minister. Deputy Prime Minister and Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul confirmed the safety of COVID-19 vaccination in response to the death of a vaccine recipient who had suffered from ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm. The death had nothing to do with COVID-19 vaccination. The patient had suffered from aortic aneurysm and it was the coincidence that he had just been inoculated against COVID-19, Mr Anutin said.

Popular Post Thaiophil Posted March 26, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 26, 2021 Expect a lot of hyped up media scare stories after anyone who has had the vaccine dies, never mind there is no connection to the vaccine. Vaccines will save millions of lives, get economies working again and cause statistically insignificant serious side effects. But vaccine hesitancy fueled by irresponsible media coverage and (in Europe at least) politicians trying to create a smokescreen to cover their incompetence, will cause many thousands of unnecessary deaths 8 2 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petedk Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Clearly this man's death has nothing to do with the vaccination, but what I would like to know is just how many vaccinations have been given so far in Thailand. How many people have suffered minor side effects? Is it in the hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of vaccinations? I have searched, but can't find any numbers. Most countries publish these numbers as they are proud of the progress. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post jkdenver Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 Its so so sad to see just how irresponsible the world media is just seek sensationalism over the truth. and equally sad to see how naïve people are to believe the media <deleted>. This was not related to the vaccine as reported and the headline and report by thai media is just wrong. When will people start to question media morons. If the general public is indeed in a panic over this idiot article then more fool them. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Pickle Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I very much doubt he died directly from the vaccine they have given millions out in the Uk yes some people have had a reaction for maybe 24 hours but Nobody has died from it.It is the same with any vaccine some people have a reaction.

I would not call 10 days ago having "just" been inoculated If every death even more than a week later in a vaccinated person is going to be reported this will get tiresome very fast as the numbers of people vaccinate rise. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 In this case I'd even give the vaccines a pass. Aortic aneurysms take time to develop. It would be a stretch to find a correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farang63 Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I don't understand a thing, if one has very serious heart problems, heart attack, collapse, lungs, cancer, liver problems, kidneys, blood circulation, and other health problems, he goes to the hospital for treatment, and they give him a swab for control and they find him the covid, and because of his health problems he dies, and then later they classify him that he died of covid, if instead a person is injected with a vaccine, and for no one knows what happened next he comes classified that he died of other causes but not for the vaccine, there is something that does not come back to me, I do not know why, I express my ideas with respect for the ideas of others, good life to all.

Popular Post nickmondo Posted March 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2021 so he did not die of Covid. Why is this even a headline? Frankly, I am disappointed in Thai Visa for putting this up for people to see. It is just a scaremongering tactic by the Thai Government to put doubts in peoples minds about the vaccines. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connda Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 If they plan to publish every person's death that occurred after a Covid vaccination, by August of this year they'll need to dedicate a news publication to listing names. Khun Somchai Pretthaimak died one week after taking Covid shot. "Khun Somchai hit a tree in his HiLux at 150 kpm." Next! Khun Prung Lairaigon died three days after taking a Covid shot. "Khun Lairaigon died after eating a handful of benzos and washing it down with bottle of Thai whiskey." Next! <...and so on.....natural and otherwise. The press loves a good story.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muzzique Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 (edited) One patient dies 10 days after suffering severe side effects from the vaccine and having an pre-existing heart condition. In Thailand 93 people die after catching COVID, most had pre-existing conditions. 136000 doses given and 1 death 28700 infections and 93 dead from COVID. That could indicate you are 440 times more likely to die from COVID than the Vaccine (That's if the government death rates from COVID are to be believed). Sometimes when you fudge the figures you end up with an even more fudgy result. Nobody can tell what is true anymore. "Oh what a tangled web we weave... When first we practice to deceive" Sir Walter Scott Edited March 27, 2021 by Muzzique 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
