I have a strong suspicion that for the over 60's, with a variety of health conditions, it is a distinct preference not to die.

I think the diabetics and those with hypertension should be more worried about the M-150!

So far the info suggest you can do so. I'm planning to jab with Sinovac and then Pfizer.

Rather selfish, leave some for others!

Rats in a cage, clamoring for their rotten cheese. I would understand if they were starving... What are they starving for? How do you get people to take something they normally wouldn't? If we are being honest with ourselves, we wouldn't NORMALLY submit to an experimental jab. Is it simply fear? Or is there some other psychological dynamic at work?

Only the psychological dynamic you're trying to create.

I personally wouldn't be so delighted knowing I just got jabbed with Sainovac.

Why do you people feel the need to repeat your opinion on this over and over?  We heard you the first time.  You're worse than Jehovah's Witnesses constantly knocking on my door with their pamphlets.

Do as you like friends, It's a free country? Just be sure to get signed up for the Jab soon, before they come and take you to jail... The irony here is, "You People" think you are free.

Why does everything official in COVID Thailand include huge numbers of people sitting together for hours in a room? Do the Thai authorities not understand contagion?

At least they're all wearing masks and sitting in chairs spaced apart. I just got my first shot in a western country and it looked pretty much the same as this. How else are you supposed to vaccinate hundreds or thousands of people a day without setting up a central distribution point where the vaccines and the personnel capable of administering it are located?

 

At least this particular gathering has a clear and important purpose, unlike many other official procedures like doing the 90 day report for example.

Here in the U.S., I've done OK with the Witnesses.  Invited a couple into the house, later just on the front porch.  I give them lessons in Buddhism, they seem interested, though Mormons more so. The last bunch that came for about the third time I chased away, as I was spraying a toxic mix of lye and bleach on the front porch boards.  It worked well - kept them off the porch and got rid of the mold and mildew.

The media talked to two British people, an American and a Swede who expressed their thanks and confidence in the Thai rollout saying "it didn't hurt at all - like an ant bite".

Another cheap PR stunt to try to convince the world Thailand is vaccinating everyone.

Rubbish. I haven't read anything about any country planning denying entry to people due to the flavor of shots they have. They can't even make their minds up about 'vaccine passports' for God's sakes.

Didn't say banned from entering.....  just that Sinovac is not recognized or approved. Read... then comment?

Why do you need a central distribution point?

Send the vaccine to every clinic and medical facility in Thailand, send nurses out to every supermarket and shopping mall.

How it is done in the UK - http://vk.ovg.ox.ac.uk/vk/vaccine-development

 

All c19 vaccines used in the UK have been through all stages and have been formally approved.

 

Yes, it has taken far less time than usual and why? Because a great deal of money and resources have been used to speed up the operation. Suddenly, instead of being mean and penny pinching, proper resources have been spent with remarkable results.

 

If we continued to spend a lot more time, effort and money on medical research a lot of good would come of it.

But we won't because people would rather spend money on shiny new cars, posh clothes, sports stars and trinkets.

 

 

That is simply not true. Vaccines can take anything up to 8 years to fully approve. That's why all are listed as under emergency use only. I don't care how much money they spend in trials the long term effects simply are not known by anyone. That's why the current phase three trials don't end for another two years.  Vaccinate the vulnerable which 0.5 percent of the population and open the country.

Thailand has 65 M people, German has 80 M people.

That close, put the output of vax people is in German around 1.4 M per day. They are almost through.

 

Germany is not ruled by a greedy unelected "PM" and a bunch of tinpot soldiers.

I think Greasy may not have checked the latest details.

 

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-56967973

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) has granted emergency approval for a Covid vaccine made by Chinese state-owned company Sinopharm. ... A decision is expected in the coming days on another Chinese vaccine developed by Sinovac, while Russia's Sputnik vaccine is under assessment.

 

Even with that said, I will not use this vaccine. I have to wait like everyone else here and will wait for a different more reliable brand after more research.

Germany is a 1st World country, fully developed, organized and efficient. Thailand is a 3rd World country, far less developed, disorganized and inefficient. 80m or 65 m is marginal and irrelevant.

 

Fact is many expats come here to enjoy what 3rd world has to offer (cheap labor, booze, sex among many others) then complain that its standards (vaccination, infrastructure, government, etc.) don't measure up to where they come from. That usually makes up the bulk of what's been posted on TVF.  As they say, you can take the girl out of Kansas, but you can take Kansas out of the girl.

i'll jab with Pfizer in Europe, by late August there probably would be surplus of vaccines. And I see the Chinese haters don't want Sinovac jabs, no problem, I'll take it.

I was asked if I wanted to be vaccinated with the Sinovac (I am 74 with Chronic Bronchitis) I declined and was informed the Astra Zeneca would be available next month so I will wait.

as I am British this is my  vaccine of choice.

"So do you have a second appointment for your first AZ dose yet? Are they allowing this? I think next month is "Sold Out"(6 Million), it might be July (10 Million doses due)".

 

FYI below

 

South African research on the AstraZeneca vaccine, conducted in roughly 2,000 people, found an under-25% efficacy against mild and moderate illness from B.1.351, failing to meet the threshold for approval. As a result, South Africa stopped offering the AstraZeneca vaccine to its citizens, instead pivoting to Johnson & Johnson.

The birth control pill is also very closely linked with blood clots. Should it be banned?

 

And is there any evidence that there is a much greater incidence of blood clots among vaccinated people against those unvaccinated?

Why are you asking me those questions, I didn't say that Sinovac should be banned, did I?
