Popular Post CrunchWrapSupreme Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 Heh, a few weeks ago someone started a topic about what the US Embassy should be doing about vaccinating their citizens here abroad. The thread was full of replies like, why's that the embassy's job, you expect too much of them, etc. And well, here the Chinese are. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not? Last I looked there were only around 50,000 brits registered living in Thailand. They could do us all within a week at the embassy in BKK, its big enough! Where are you, Brian? ???? Brian is leaving Thailand shortly. I think the British Embassy in Bangkok is now only the 12/F of AIA Building on Sathorn Road. It might take a while to vaccinate 50,000 in that space; but it's not even an issue. It's simply not happening, and never will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slsmith38 Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 I know I am wasting my time with this post but have any of you Sinovac bashers actually had any real dealings with the Chinese, worked with Chinese companies and spent time in China at Chinese manufacturing facilities? I personally have for many years and have a lot of respect for what the Chinese can do well. Have a look at all your belongings and see how many were made in China. You have a perception based on very little factual information. I do not believe the Chinese vaccines are any worse or better than other brands and they did use tried and tested methods in their development – unlike Pfizer and others. Also, please don’t quote efficacy results as all the vaccines were tested under completely different circumstances and stages of the pandemic. I admit it would not be my first choice as it is not yet recognized internationally which makes travel more difficult, but if I could get a Sinovac jab tomorrow I would certainly take it. 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Pilotman Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 well well well, Ricard Smith note. All those who say its not an Embassies' job to care for its expats, well here we have it. One good rick for the Chinese government. Western Embassies can do it if they want to, they just don't want to, can't be bothered, don't care. Note to UK Embassy muppets, get off your <deleted> and do something. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or someone thinks we are totally stupid and we can't see what may be going on. The later, and there definitely has to be more dirty little secrets hidden and buried to their official rhetoric that is told. Even the WHO now has their problems with the real truth, and on good grounds they should. Let's see how many Chinese staying in Thailand actually will take them up on the Sinovac jab. surely the people in their country are not mass lining up to get it.

pmarlin Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 Bet most of those 100,000 are spies or members of the Chinese army which makes then essential to china. Just guessing of course. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds easy, but a days bus travel to Bangkok + 1 overnight stay, queue at Embassy to get first jab + 1 day travel to return home to spend 14 nights self quarantine, to emerge just in time for the second jab, repeat, a complete wasted month.

Popular Post Katipo Posted May 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2021 If you ask me it's more than a little humiliating for a foreign nation to have to take care of it's citizens in this way because their host nations own efforts amount to little more than headlines full of empty promises. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzian Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 This is merely anecdotal. Foreigner I know had a call two days ago from a private hospital in Bangkok where he spent time last year for an underlying condition. The said that due to his condition of record they were prepared to give him vaccination against Covid-19. He asked how much? Answer, 10,000 THB. He declined, unfortunately without asking which vaccine they were proposing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when can they get in line for a vaccine from the Thai government. And, more saliently, when can we buy a vaccine from a private hospital? Come on, Thai Gov, give us a break, we don't want or need your free vaccines, let us pay for it ourselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
