internationalism Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) how bad prayuth, anutin, and many other currupted politicians, are looking now, with this unexpected turns of events? but what if this vax won't arrive soon? or faulty batch? or cause many side effects? it was said it will be sold. How much? for how much it will be bought? how many doses (over the recommended now), will need to be taken to protect from the african and the other mutations? how often booster needed? those some $100 per dose might turn out beyond budgets of very many patients Edited May 28, 2021 by internationalism 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now in the line are indian and russian ones. sinopharm as good as AZ. in such situation would you chose thai made AZ and get it nobody know when (because of production problems)? or wait till sometimes to the end of year for moderna for 3500b? or get sinopharm in july for $200? have you already had your seasonal flu jab, which partially protects from covid?

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted May 28, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2021 Tha application for approval was made on Monday, yes this week, 24 May. Approval given Thursday, maybe today. Amazing how we're told these processes take weeks or months, and only the government can buy/import vaccines. But amazing Thailand, approval in four days, and no problem with importing vaccines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internationalism Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) me neither, but on top of preventing co-infection, it also temporarily boosts your immune system, so smaller chance for covid. there are many vax, very safe, used for tens of years on billions. Within the last 3 months I had 5 jabs (mmr, prevnar, hepa A, typhoid, zostavax). On my list another 3 (tdap, varicell, meningo). And later on boosters of those. the thing is - we are getting older and our immune system becoming weaker. So that you never got ill for many years doesn't prevent you from getting sick this year Edited May 28, 2021 by internationalism 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
