BANGKOK (NNT) - The Phuket Public Health Office, Vachira Phuket Hospital and Prince of Songkla University have carried out a study on the efficacy of the Sinovac COVID-19 vaccination in Phuket province, finding the treatment reduces infection by 83.3 percent.

 

Permanent Secretary of Public Health Dr Kiatiphum Wongrajit reported that 22 percent of the Phuket population has received two doses of Sinovac vaccine and 45 percent have received their first dose.

 

A study of the efficacy of the vaccination carried out by the Phuket Public Health Office, Vachira Phuket Hospital and Prince of Songkla University, looked at 1,366 high-risk individuals over a 14 day period, and found those who had received a single dose were 73.1 percent less likely to contract the virus, with those having a second dose protected at a rate of 83.3 percent.

 

Researchers also looked into 386 people who had contracted the virus (237 at Vachira Phuket Hospital and 149 from field hospitals) and found that the six individuals who had been completely vaccinated did not experience respiratory inflammation.

 

Of another 31 people in the group that had received only their first dose, four people, or 12.9 percent, experienced inflammation in their respiratory systems with a severity comparable to non-vaccinated people.

 

It was noted that from the beginning of May 2021 to May 17, no new infections of COVID-19 were reported among those who had been vaccinated with both doses.

 

The findings reinforce assertions that receiving the full treatment of Sinovac vaccination reduces the rate of infection and the severity of symptoms among the infected. Even so, members of the public continue to be advised to exercise cautionary measures such as wearing a mask, social distancing and washing their hands.

Where  exactly did they find people in Phuket?? People do live there you know. And people  have  not been  under the strictest of lockdowns.

It's called Confirmation Bias... 

What a great example of confirmation bias... let's see the academic research paper maybe registered at Prince of Songkla University?

I take it the guy from Pang Nga that died after being vaccinated with Sinovac wasn't included in the study then?

I was not aware that 386 people had contracted the virus in Phuket in the last two months. So all in all how many cases in Phuket ?

Died of what? Plenty of people die following vaccination. It does not necessarily follow that the vaccine caused the death. 

Well , I wouldn't expect anything else from the people running Phuket.

 

Staunch yellowshirts , fans of Suthep , stooges of Prayuth.

 

Don't panic , we have everything under control.

Would Phuket being in a lockdown have an effect on the research findings?

Oh thank god! How very convenient.

And they have been receiving vaccines.

 

Good to see all going well and according to plan only a month out from the cautious reopening.

 

There will always be a few whiners.

All the vaccines have shown protection against getting seriously ill even if you catch the virus so these figures are not different to studies elsewhere. The vaccination takes up to 2 weeks for full effect so if you contract the virus in this period you will likely develop Covid 19 Disease after the first jab. This reduces enormously after the second jab as the figures show. 

The timing of this finding is perfect. If only the same could be said about the timing of the nationwide vaccination rollout!

Case concluded the plebs can have the Sinovac and don't waste it on the generals ????

Now a half a dozen universities will create their own expert studies in order to back the Prayut's talk about safe and effective Sinovac vaccines.  When the data doesn't fit, make your own.

And I won't believe these assertions until there is 5 years of data backing the claims.  Until then, this all is a live trial experiment with too short of a time line to make accurate observations no less accurate predictions.

What a load of nonsense.  Peer reviewed study: no, methodology released: no, raw data released: no, confirmation bias: definitely. If a student who presented this garbage they would get a fail.

 

This 'data' has been manufactured to meet a predetermined outcome.

Also the authors of this study who wrote up this study don't understand the difference between efficacy and effectiveness.

All those excellent deductions from a third-party press report?

Well done, Professor Barstool.

 

 

 

For all that have been here too long, I take this as a sign.

Next weeks lottery number is 833.

Seeing some slippage in the Phuket Sandbox requirements...

 

previously it was 70% of the population fully vaccinated (2x).

 

now, 70% of staff at a specific with one dose, hotel is OK for them to open.

 

 

Next week it will be "we waved an empty Sinovac vial around the property so we're good to go".

No body is making predictions only observations and the observations so far are accurate. Perhaps you would like to wait 5 years before you vaccinate people just to make sure the observations are accurate? Meanwhile another 15 million people die.
