sawadee1947 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Obviously Sinovac doesn't give even a similar protection as Biontec or Moderna. (Astrazeneca is less effective) It's crucial then to order only 20 million of others to protect Thai people considering you have to vaccinate the Sinovacs with a booster of those mentioned above. We all know that this govt is a failsure per se. But the western countries should rethink their "Me First " policy. If the poor countries are not be vaccinated in near future (Africa eg) we will have more variants and at the end the vaccines of the main effective are not working anymore. So the profitable game will start again ???? and Covid will stay and kill many years more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well said. The Sinovac is not "useless, junk, etc.", as so many are ignorantly bruiting about. There are better, more effective vaccines, just not very available here.

Speedhump Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) 7 hours ago, Pattaya Spotter said: So what this article is reporting is the Sinovac vaccine is .999 percent effective at preventing infection (in people most likely to be exposed to the virus). And .997 effective in preventing death if infected. Good to know because I'm scheduled for my first SV jab on Wednesday. 0.999 effective? 0.999 what? Is that good?

peter48 Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Sinovac jabs are not approved in US, all western European countries and UK mainly because of lack of sufficient open data.. The reveiws on Sinovac are mixed so while it gives some protection for the earlier variants for Delta variant it is being said the vaccine is less effective( Indonesia are seeing medics gatting Covid despite the Sinovac vaccine). A third booster is being suggested. Thailands best bet remains the AZ as its cheaper than Pfizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuwadeeS Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 The people should be more pragmatic. Look at these facts. Many people of the so called elite in Thailand have chinese roots. Ask them as what they feel more, Thai or Chinese. China has stolen for many decades intellectual properties all over the world. China is a dictatorship. China provided an vaccine with a not very high protection quote. They treatening the world and freedom in many ways, so why should I trust and take a vaccine from them???? You get what you pay for. (remember all the low quality products) It's your choice. You can trust China or you don't trust them. I don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the complete absence of oversight and regulation in the US is what led to these scandals, which affected the lives of millions. And each and every one of the vaccine manufacturers has been caught up in them. Totally corrupt. Got a headache? Here, try these. The very latest.

Popular Post John Drake Posted July 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2021 All this squabbling and arguing and one fact remains: Thailand is in a crisis situation because it has an insufficient supply of vaccines. Any vaccines. At this point, I cannot imagine anything more counterproductive than throwing a fit about one vaccine or another when the fit throwers should be overjoyed to get anything they can. Choice is coming--in the year 2022. Maybe. How many are willing to wait that long for some sort of protection? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That means that this case doesn’t support the antivax narrative at all, rather it refutes it. Those number imply that 173 out of roughly 2100 unvaccinated people were infected. That works out to a 8.2% infection rate for the unvaccinated vs a 0.09% for the vaccinated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

utalkin2me Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 After current vaccines lose effectiveness, they are gonna come out with the ultra vaccine.

Because the article states Sinovac and there is not much of an alternative. But you are right in there should be no surprise as Sinaovac has been proven as well below 50% effectiveness by just about every country in the world except China and Thailand.

placnx Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 7 hours ago, Catoni said: Although better than nothing, Sinovac is certainly not the best of the Covid vaccines. It had a much lower efficacy than Pfizer and Moderna for instance. I think Sinovac has only about 64% efficacy. But if that’s all you have , it’s still better than nothing. It takes about two weeks following the shot for immunity to build. During that two week window, you can still get a full blown Covid -19 infection. Following that, you can still get Covid-19, but your infection should be much milder because you are vaccinated. For the elderly with co-morbidities it could be the difference between life and death. Objectively Sinovac may be better than nothing. However, when it encourages a sense of being protected and risky behavior, such as close contact with others, it makes people more vulnerable than unvaccinated who hunker down. Furthermore, it does a poor job of preventing asymptomatic infection, so this will prolong the pandemic. People jabbed with Sinovac urgently need a booster of AZ or mRNA vaccine. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are aware that being vaccinated does not stop you becoming infected with Covid I take it ? The aim of vaccination in this case is to lessen the chance of needing hospital treatment or dying from covid i.e. making the severity much reduced... There seems to be a view that vaccination will mean you don't get covid , that's incorrect . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
