The Chulabhorn Royal Academy said it did not plan to administer different COVID-19 vaccines for the first and second doses.

 

BANGKOK, July 14 (TNA) – The Chulabhorn Royal Academy said it did not plan to administer different COVID-19 vaccines for the first and second doses because they were newly developed for emergency use only.

 

The academy recommended individuals receive two doses of a single COVID-19 vaccine in accordance with the permission that vaccine manufacturers received. The recommendation does not include the people whom researchers are studying and those who developed severe side effects after their first jab and should instead receive another vaccine for the second dose under doctors’ supervision.

Some sense being expressed by Chulabhorn Royal Academy, will the government take any notice? I doubt it very much.

Medical experts have voiced concerns about the reliability of the rapid antigen test kits for Covid-19, especially if the tests are conducted by inexperienced people at home

Earlier this week, health authorities announced that rapid test kits will be available in hospitals this week before being sold in pharmacies next week.

 

The test kits are being released to combat the long queues for an RT-PCR test, Public Health Ministry permanent secretary Kiattipoom Wongrachit said on Monday.

 

However, Dr Thiravat Hemachudha, chief of Chulalongkorn University's Centre for Emerging Infectious Diseases, questioned the reliability of tests done by people at home.

Thai clinic shut down for selling fake Moderna vaccine: cops

The owner of a Prachinburi province clinic was being dragged in for questioning today after patients said he was selling bogus Moderna COVID-19 vaccines. 

 

A day after the authorities raided the Kularb Clinic in Prachinburi’s Kabinburi district, where clients complained they were scammed THB1,500 (USD$46) per dose, Col. Pattanachai Pamornpibul of Wangg Takian Police said the owner was set to be questioned Wednesday.

 

A woman said she had transferred up to THB6,000 to vaccinate her family of four, but on the date of their scheduled inoculation, she said clinic staff never showed her the vaccine’s packaging.

It is all about the Benjamins here of course.  In the US as well as the EU and UK these tests are readily available.  In the US my Health insurer sent 4 of them to my residence as it was part of a program they developed.  Still sitting in the box on the counter as I have not returned to pick them up...lol

One indicator that you know things are not great. In UK at the height of our wave I noticed the same thing. It's just one of those everyday things that you notice if it changes.

Ah the same scam the Thai Army doctor/medic pulled at the beginning of the vaccination period, injecting possibly just a saline solution instead.  Thailand the hub of fakes and deceit.

Twitter bans account of prominent Thai hospital administrator

 

Twitter banned the account of a prominent Thai hospital administrator on Wednesday, although no reason was given for the ban.

 

Dr Suwadee Puntpanich, a director at Thonburi Bamrungmuang Hospital, was a prominent Twitter presence in Thailand with her account noted its criticism of the government’s Covid response and praised for finding hospital beds for hundreds of Covid-19 patients.

 

Suwadee’s regularly tweeted updates about government vaccine policy and had criticized the government for now allowing private hospitals to bring in their own vaccine.

Could it be that the millions of doses of Sinovac imported by the Thai government are also fake? Maybe that would explain why they are proving to be so useless?

It will lead to further spread considering Thai living conditions, which is why they avoided it as long as possible. But now there is no choice.

 

Why home quarantine is so hard to Thais!? So simple rules isolate hole house AND ALL PEOPLE IN IT! NOBODY GOES IN OR OUT!! My friend was 28 days in home quarantine , first 2 kids get covid -> home quarantine 14 days (include 2 test was negative) last test wife had covid. New 14 days quarantine (include 2 test was negative). Kids get out after first 10 days because they not spread virus anymore. Wife get out day 25 because not spread anymore! One thing to notice, my friend not get covid even was all the time whit infected people and even sleep same bed whit wife. Only put people who have symptons whitch cant haddle home in hospital or people who not get help outside from home (to bring food etc.). Save really much money and many people's mental health.

Delta appears more contagious, but more deadly? I don't think so.

 

I agree that there only rough indicators, and the past is not necessarily a reliable predictor for the future. 

 

And that seems to go for complex models, as well as back of cig pack calculations. Too many unknowns.

 

But we can thank our lucky stars that it isn't a real plague (although it doesn't seem lucky I must admit).

 

You could ask people in India about the deadliness of Delta, but many are dead.

Interesting. Always a possible sceario. How about this 1: Weaponising a bat virus through gain of function. 2: Virus leaks from lab. 3: Virus goes global due to deception and misinformation. 4: Virus is now mutating of it's own accord. Fairly sure there will be plenty on here that will have a go at me but ask yourself this: Is it out of the realm of possibility?

There is zero evidence that the virus was engineered. In fact, there are bats flying around Thailand with an almost identical virus.

Only 2,000 new net admissions to hospitals today. But, those 2,000 probably had to be crammed into God knows where.

Only a few days ago you explicitly stated that you had already had Covid. But in the same post said that you had never been tested. When challenged how you could know it was Covid and not flu since you hadn’t been tested, you stayed quiet.

 

now you reconfirm again that you are double dosed with Moderna, you previously stated you have already had Covid so have natural antibodies, but say that you are worried about Covid.

 

I’d say you have less to worry about than most, so can rest easy. But still take care, nothing is 100%, not even double Moderna and natural antibodies.

 

Your reading comprehension is apparently not too good. In fact, about half your posts about my posts are based on false paraphrasing.

 

i won’t bother correcting you, I will just say that I never posted what you claim I posted.

Basically, the entire Central Festival mall in Pattaya was infected the first 2 weeks of July. Which was precisely when I was there every day.

[wensiensheng]

Is anyone able to find a list of high, medium and low risk countries by Thailand DDC as at 1st July?

 

the list is updated on 1st and 16th of each month. I have been trying to find the one updated as at 1st July, but can’t find it via google. There is a link on the Thailand DDC website, but it just takes me to a WHO site that gives an overall weekly update on Covid. Nothing to do with Thailand at all.

 

A google search of Thailand ddc high, medium, low risk Covid countries, reveals several tour operator sites that have the list as at 16th June. But not 1st July.

 

am I looking in the wrong place?
