Critics of Sinovac here have pointed at Chile as an example of the deficiencies of the Chinese vaccine, citing increasing cases despite high levels of vaccination.

 

You don’t hear about Chile anymore, because new infections are way down, as vaccination increases.

If I'm reading it right, about 19,000 infections and 94 deaths...so a .005% (half of one-percent) mortality rate.

Don't forget infections also go down with time as potential targets in population  decreases as population has been saturated. Even without vaccinations.

I think that should be 0.5%. 

EDIT: Just noticed that BKKBrian got there ahead of me.

If going on those figures of 19,000 cases to 94 deaths then I make it 0.5% mortality rate

That could be interpreted as 50% but I know you don't mean that. It's the same...half of one-percent (written different ways).

State regulatory process linked with Thailand’s vaccination programme delays admits top official

 

The National Vaccine Security Act 2018, a law passed by the National Legislative Assembly, appears to have been the template for the government’s incoherent vaccine programme and was brought into focus this week when the Director of the National Vaccine Institute, an agency established under its provisions, highlighted the country’s unwieldy bureaucratic process for the procurement of vaccines. Dr Nakorn Premsri was offering an apology for the delays in delivering vaccine doses in sufficient quantities for the national vaccination programme.

You are looking at daily base , you have to look weekly numbers . Thailnd is also very underestimating , but ok . In UK they say 6% of people got long covid .  Even if it is 0.6% think about how many people are affected . If you are vaccinated that number does not drop to 0 , but is reduced dramatic . Deaths as well as heavy hospital admissions . It wont be 0 but it does help a lot in serious cases , look at EU numbers

Not sure it is sound to relate todays new infections and todays new deaths..... current deaths probably have more relation to infections from some days prior.

Yes there is a slight overlap...but even counting the 1 or 2 of the currently infected to die and stopped counting new cases today, it wouldn't affect the ratio at all.

hai's in need of a jab before travelling overseas

If it is for two particular people (we all know who) then give them the jab jab and good riddance - but unfortunately unlikely 

 

also worth noting that sinovac is of no use for this purpose as it is not approved in many western countries
