ThaiFelix Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 I dont understand all the fuss, its only 1 in 1,000? You could look at it the other way and say that 1 shot of Sinovac has protected up to 999 health workers out of 1,000. But that would probably only be realised if Sinovac was made in the west and especially the US. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caughtintheact Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Hmmm does this mean that there should be questions about the data coming from China where they are claiming only 92K cases to date?

But they must be very short duration and I haven’t seen any details as to scope or scale. make of that what you will. The cynic in me says the government told Thai medics to come up with evidence to say what they are doing is ok. Others might feel it’s satisfactory evidence. Who knows? WHO says no! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firstly, if they'd initially been given AZ, they'd still be looking at a 2nd AZ. Secondly, most countries are now talking 3rd shot boosters, so whatever was given 1st and 2nd falls into your definition as useless, right? Seems most vaxes have diminishing potency against new strains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inThailand Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Two different vaccines? That like trying to get a katoy and Thai lady to both go home with you. They don't mix. WHO has already advised against mixing and matching vaccines. Why? There is no test data on such. They already don't know the long term affects of just one vaccine, since they compressed clinical trials from many years down to months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connda Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Thailand to combine Sinovac, AstraZeneca vaccine doses to boost protection - minister I'd like to see the long-term studies regarding the safety of these vaccination mixing protocol. Silly me. That's right. They don't exist. In fact, long term studies of any of these new vaccines don't exist. Bypassed under 'emergency authorization' where normal vaccine studies take 5 to 10 years. <head shake> That's ok. If people die then the 'benefits outweigh the risk' so say the experts who aren't the one's dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I read it the WHO was saying to avoid any mixing. Supposedly the best combination is one of Astra Zeneca and either Pfizer or Moderna. But who really knows. The world is really just a human Petri dish where we are being injected with vaccines to prevent Covid that we won't know for years any long term side effects and it will be months before we see how effective the vaccines really are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun Yogi Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 l have just seen a report from a Scientist at WHO who says it is very dangerous to mix two brands of Covid vaccine as tests have not be carried out to see what will happen.

Nature magazine has test data indicating that immune response increases by mixing. Mix-and-match COVID vaccines trigger potent immune response (nature.com), and other organizations are doing tests. WHO is also the organization that backed up the CCP when it told the world that the virus could not spread to humans in early 2020, so why should anyone trust them?

Nobody knows yet what all combinations of As + Bs equal. There's doubts now about even A + A or B + B against new strains. If Sinovac+Sinovac is proved to be ineffective, but Sinovac+AstraZaneca or Sinovac+Sinovac+AstraZaneca turns out to be efficacious and safe then it would seem a reasonable way forward, considering the millions who already have a 1st and maybe 2nd, Sinovac shot.

johnarth Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 what happens when the AZ is not good enough which is not far away as far as the Sinovac goes the best thing they can do with that is donate it to the Chinese government, and man this mix the vaccines will be a big big problem in the future has anyone at all considered what vaccines are going to do to the unborn babies???

Tonypandy Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 5 hours ago, wensiensheng said: I think the point that has drifted out of focus on a lot of posts is that Thailand is not talking about using one shot of AZ and one shot of an mRNA vaccine. That combo HAS been used in some countries and as, as someone posted, it’s what Angela merkel did. what Thailand is doing, to combat the delta strain, is using one dose of sinovac and one dose of AZ. The issue here being that 2 doses of sinovac is not perceived as enough protection, so it’s being cut to just the one, and AZ added. but AZ is perceived as only marginally better than sinovac against delta, or at least it’s own effectiveness is drastically cut. in layman’s terms it’s weakest vaccine plus next less weakest vaccine. whereas, AZ plus an mRNA would in layman’s terms be described as second least effective plus one of the “best”. so if sinovac is a 1, and AZ a 2, and an mRNA a 3, what Thailand is doing adds up to 3. The other combo being used in other countries adds up to 5. I deliberately haven’t gone into detail about actual percentage protection provided etc etc, I’m just trying to point out why people may perceive what Thailand is doing as being less than ideal. Basically it’s the inclusion of sinovac as one of the constituents in the combo. What's best against the delta strain is all this scaremongering.

It's time to forget about Sinovac and vaccinate the masses with the alternatives that do offer some sort of protection. You're right. However, the problem is when those Western vaccines will arrive? Imagine, you have to start from scratch. And.... ordering and delivering doesn't go together. To get Thai population to be vaccinated you have to buy at least about 60 million, considering those they got Sinovac would need only one shot. How this should happen and when? Definitely not this year. ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drip drip drip of realisation with a good measure of face-saving thrown in has exacerbated the situation to an unfolding disaster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
