Well who would have thought it

This information comes  viathe Epoch Times, a very unreliable source of information. 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Epoch_Times

Even so, if you read further on in the article, you'll see that in other countries where it is being used, serious adverse reactions are very rare.

Another Thailand basher. If you are so negative, leave. If you are not in Thailand now, why do you read the forum?

If I am only offered the sino vac then I will pay for a western vaccine myself.

Oh <deleted>, Looks like there will be many expats growing four eyes and two heads after the sinovac. Thais bowing to the whims of their master in China Winnie da Pooh.

This also comes from your wiki link:  'Similarly, in a 2019 report, Reporters Without Borders commented that "Aside from the Epoch Times newspaper and New Tang Dynasty Television, which are run by the Falun Gong, a religious movement persecuted in China, and China Digital Times, a website founded by a leading US-based critic of the regime, the United States now has few truly independent diaspora media."'

I just got the AZ vaccine here in north Laos - free for all locals and expats, AZ for the over 60s, Sinovac or maybe Sputnik V for others (usually Sinovac, but Russia donated a load of Sputnik V as well).

Not sure what your point is.

Well, seems, most people are not aware, where those “western” vaccines are produced, eg. :

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/astrazeneca-strikes-first-china-manufacturing-092729395.html

 

Add in to that, check, were  the raw materials from those „western“ vaccines are produced ...

 

And: regarding adherence to GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) in ramped up and debottlenecked „western“ vaccine production sites, you should maybe check this:

 https://edition.cnn.com/2021/04/21/health/fda-emergent-johnson--johnson-vaccine-bn/index.html

Or this : https://news.yahoo.com/hong-kong-resume-pfizer-shots-083353140.html

There not aware because its not true. Production of AZ in China has not even started yet and when it does finally get approval (its still be tested) then its bound for the Chinese market to boost their own supplies of vaccines.

Most countries are not forcing you to take an unapproved vaccine that isn't even wanted in the country where it's made, China.

I don't think they're doing that in Thailand either. AstraZeneca has been announced as the main vaccine here and I don't think they are forcing anyone, yet at least.
