Better get drunk to make your decision if you want to get it or not - more of a chance y ou will actually get it. I'll keep the beer mat then! Just read in Bangkok Post that a doctor and a nurse who both had received the 2 Sinovac jabs died of covid. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caspersfriend Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 5 minutes ago, Bkk Brian said: Thanks yes I read it, unfortunately no studies carried out on Sinovac with variants of concern, only with the original strain covid-19. The reality is that strain has now all but disappeared in Thailand, with delta the prominent strain we know that Sinovac's effectiveness is nowhere near that claimed in previous studies. Agreed. And even that data is of little use to those of us who are in the over-60 group. "The WHO said studies showed the Sinovac vaccine "prevented symptomatic disease in 51% of those vaccinated and prevented severe Covid-19 and hospitalization in 100% of the studied population" for adults aged 18 and older, when it approved the jab in June. It added that only a few adults over the age of 60 were enrolled in clinical trials, so efficacy could not be estimated for that age group." "At the time, the WHO said: "Vaccine efficacy for symptomatic and hospitalized disease was estimated to be 79%, all age groups combined." However, it added once again that there wasn't enough over 60s enrolled in clinical trials to estimate the efficacy for the age group. It still recommends the vaccine for older people though."

wensiensheng Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Back of the envelope calculations: Bangkok is having 9k cases a day. Conventional wisdom seems to be that for every one case you find, there are 10 that you do not, so really bangkok has 90k cases a day. In 10 days that is 900k cases. Extrapolate that and it would mean that in 100 days from about now, 9 million Bangkok cases, or natural population protection. Delta may have a very steep bell curve due to its transmissibility. So a very ugly 3 months coming up, after that maybe there’s a calm before the next strain, or before people get reinfected. I hope the authorities are thinking about longer term protection and not just the next 3 months because I think the next 3 months has got away from them anyway.

"Sinovac and Sinopharm are studying the protection the vaccines provide against the Delta variant, but haven't released any data yet." (my bold) https://www.wsj.com/articles/countries-signal-doubts-about-delta-protection-from-chinese-vaccine-11626183948 Maybe Thailand should demonstrate its sovereignty by making its own investigations, in conjunction with Western nations that developed the more Delta variant resistant vaccines. Vaccines that Thailand could have ordered in January 2021 or earlier. But what price would the Prayut government pay to cause China to lose international face? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the problem with taking the offer of a sinovac jab. You’re then precluded from getting anything else, at least from the government. on the flip side, if you don’t take the sinovac offer, there isn’t currently anything else. damned if you do, damned if you don’t.

Yes, untested, under researched and only applied to a tiny slice of the population. If it works it’s great for those few, of no help to the broader population. If it doesn’t work, those at risk stay unprotected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hotchilli Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 5 hours ago, webfact said: Clinical research has shown that the antibody levels in a person fully inoculated with two doses of the Chinese-made Sinovac vaccine drops by half every 40 days, according to Dr. Anan Jongkaewwattana, a virology researcher at the National Centre for Engineering and Biotechnology (BIOTEC).

Cake Monster Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 If this research has been authenticated and is credible, the ramifications for many Nations that have been reliant on Sinovac as their main weapon of choice against Covid are very bad indeed If true, Millions will have been Inoculated with this worthless Vaccine, and Governments will have spent, a fortune on this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrJ2U Posted July 14, 2021 Share Posted July 14, 2021 Its already low or nothing with the Delta variant.

Popular Post cjinchiangrai Posted July 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 14, 2021 What does the 40% mean though? A vaccine mimics a viral attack so following the shot, I would expect very high levels of antibodies that would drop of to a lower waiting/watching level. The important question would be "what levels are required to recognise a later attack and trigger the production of new antibodies." Without additional information, I would file this as sensationalist journalism. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
