Russia’s Sputnik V COVID-19 vaccine is yet to be approved by Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration (TFDA), as vital data remains missing, the organisation said today (Wednesday).

 

The latest information, sent last week by KinGen Biotech, the pharmaceutical company that represents the vaccine’s manufacturer in Thailand, was the same set of incomplete data already sent to the TFDA, said TFDA Secretary-General Dr. Paisal Dunkhum.

 

The missing data, which includes GMP PIC/S certification or equivalent, essential drug data, details of the manufacturers’ analytical process and safety studies, is essential for TFDA’s consideration of the vaccine’s safety, efficacy and quality.

"vital data missing".   I interpret that as being "unable to locate the brown envelope containing the necessary pieces of paper to allow approval."

the first vax tour to russia is in july and it's 2x more expensive then to the USA. Some $7k.

Probably they will come back to phuket sandbox and have 2 weeks holiday on the beach.

To russia there is no visa and the shortest flight is some 6h (vladivostok, no change for time zone, so no jet lag)

DAFT thing to do that .. 

Read a few weeks ago that Russians don't want Sputnik either so maybe a glut on offer ????

Expect the missing data to arrive inside some very fat brown envelopes very soon..

 

But back in April, this is what the people were told :-

 

BANGKOK, April 22 (Reuters) - Russia has accepted a request to provide Thailand with its Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine, a Thai official said on Thursday, as the Southeast Asian nation steps up efforts to find more vaccines ahead of its mass immunisation drive.

 

Mind you, in the same article :-

 

“We project that the number of cases will gradually drop in one or two weeks,” Opas Karnkawinpong, Director-General of the Disease Control Department said.

 

Then in the Phuket news on the same date :-

 

THAILAND: Russian President Vladimir Putin has personally vowed to support Thailand’s COVID-19 battle and will therefore be selling it his country’s Sputnik V vaccine, Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha announced yesterday (Apr 22).

Vladivostok is +3 hours, Novosibirsk is in the same time zone. 4400km vs 4800km.

whatever, it's not intercontinental flight with at least one stopover, tens of hours travelling and some 10 time zones, as in to the USA. Those jab tours offered to the USA are to New York, Las Vegas and some other touristy places

? What nationalities do you refer to? Thai and Laos, OK.

But basically for all of western Europe, UK, USA etc.etc. there are strict visa requirements.

No visa on arrival or even visa exempt.

Purely theoretical for me anyway. Trip to lovely Novosibirsk? No thanks.

of course for thai citizens. Those tours are organised only for them.

They do have choice now.

As do foreigners in thailand wishing to travel in their vax quest to anywhere in the world

Missing data didn't seem to have been a problem for Sinovac, which was seemingly approved within hours.

 

"Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine effective but some data lacking - WHO experts | Reuters" https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/sinovac-covid-19-vaccine-effective-some-data-lacking-who-experts-2021-05-05/

Am thinking this one will be slow rolled, unless skids are greased in absurd amounts and the real vaccine supply situation becomes worse (if possible).

 

 

Russia Sputnik v is not accepted in the EU neither. 

Or Uncle Jo told Uncle Tu not to allow that vaccine in the country or else.

Dam. And I had my heart set on sputnik. I'm crushed.

????

Heres  what he had to say about that

The European Union will delay approval of Russia’s Sputnik V coronavirus vaccine until later in 2021 because of a missed deadline to submit required data, Reuters reported Wednesday.

But an excellent to chance to spit out some brown envelopes babble.

Jomtien will never be the same now.

 

Russians were last bastion against chinese "organised tourists". 

 

And least caring by the way. Bad weather? We going! Right after tsunami? We going! Red shirts bruhaha? We going!

 

Russians were perfect lab rats for this "reopening". While brit consulting his lawyer if he can go to Los or no, russian is already packing his sleevless shirts and flipflops.

This is how propaganda works today. They rarely lie. They use much more efficient weapon against people brains. The modern propagandist just "forget to mention something" and show you carefully selected facts only.
"Russians don't want Sputnik" Is it true? Yes. But the following is also true: "65% of Russians are anti-vaxers and don't want ANY vaccine". But this is what the propagandists just "forget to mention". Just because they were paid for putting "Sputnik is bad" message into people brains.

Where did you get that number from?

Not sure that I can find any numbers in the western sources - but I will try to. There are many opinion polls with the result of 60-70% of Russians that decided to not get ANY vaccine. You can find these data in English versions of Russian media resources.
I am from the Novosibirsk region and have had hard times trying to convince my parents, sister, friends school teachers etc that vaccines are not garbage, they really save lives and they should go and get their jab. The common opinion of the society is that vaccines are dangerous and bad things.
There is a lottery among those who has got their jab already. 5 new cars every week in Moscow. Just get a jab and get your new car. It`s a shame to say that people still don't want to get vaccinated and even such tricks don't work.

No problem with the lack of data transparency from the Peking mobs vaccines though ...

Pooh must be chuckling like the clown he his at Too and his fellow Muppets holding photo op after photo op when they arrive, strange there is no photo op from the Thai vaccine hub, Siam BS.

Just possibly Russians mistrust the vaccine because their government launched it before conducting Phase 3 trials. What kind of government cares so little about its citizens that it would do such a thing?

 

Russia Approves Coronavirus Vaccine Before Completing Tests

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/11/world/europe/russia-coronavirus-vaccine-approval.html

Russia donated Sputnik vaccine to Laos some months ago and it was very welcome, as well as vaccines donated by China and Covax.  To date, I've heard no news reports about any problems with the Russian vaccine. AFAIK, it has a good reputation in all countries where it is being used, such as with my teaching friend in Mongolia, who received a Sputnik vaccination and is still alive...

A ringing endorsement, from you and your "friend", who is still alive.

Do you think that ordinary folks know what "Phase 3 trial" is ? Just ask your friends in the US - what is "Phase 3 trial"? You will be surprised to see that nobody knows what it is.
