Popular Post webfact Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Picture: Sanook Dr Thaweesap Sirapraphasiri of the Department of Disease Control said yesterday that data from 28th February to July 22nd indicated that 15,388,939 doses of vaccine against Covid-19 had been administered, reported Sanook. This has been Sinovac, Astra Zeneca and Sinopharm. Those mostly vaccinated so far are people aged 60 and over and people with 7 underlying health conditions. The next phase will be those aged 18-59 without health problems. He explained about the measurement for the efficacy of vaccines saying it was not a matter of preventing Covid but how efficient a vaccine was in preventing serious consequences resulting from infection. In this regard he stood by data from three provinces - Phuket, Chiang Rai and Samut Sakhon - that Sinovac was 90% efficacious in this regard against the Alpha variant. Studies to determine its efficacy againt the more virulent Delta variant are ongoing, he said. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-07-24 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 3 5 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Karma80 Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Stop pretending that Sinovac is anything more than a first generation vaccine that has no place in the current stage of the pandemic we face. Without it, the vaccination numbers plummet and the sandbox projects become unviable - the majority of Phuket was vaccinated with it. So it will never happen and let's just keep on stalling eh? 9 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Caspersfriend Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Diplomacy gone amiss: Story of Chinese COVID-19 Vaccines The global angst against China over allegedly ‘creating’ the coronavirus and then concealing crucial information is still fresh. Widely called out as a ‘charm offensive’ by the Western media, China’s vaccine diplomacy is seen as a means of damage control for its worldwide falling reputation and worsening cross-country ties. Although China’s initial missteps do point to an intentional role in the global pandemic, it is now trying hard to emerge as a dependable ally to its neighbours and countries everywhere who are in dire straits. https://www.orfonline.org/expert-speak/diplomacy-gone-amiss-story-of-chinese-covid-19-vaccines/ 2 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's clear why the Thai govt underordered doses of AZ and relied so heavily on Sinovac. All it takes is a look at Sinovac's dubious business history, Sinovac has been the least effective vaccine for a while.

But why use the worst one unless there is money to be made? No western country used the Chinese effort- because there were far better alternatives, sadly not for most Thais let down by this government. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post watthong Posted July 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 24, 2021 Erh, excuse me, but the lack of vaccination is a matter of life-and-death; Sinovac on the other hand successfully staving off severe illnesses - its lack of efficacy against the Delta, or any other variant past, present and future notwithstanding - is a matter of staying alive: death is pretty much out of the picture once one gets jabbed. If saving lives is "rubbish" then it'll be good for all concerned that you re-evaluate your standards, in the meantime please don't muddy the waters. One more thing, the Delta or whatever the greek alphabet du jour, variant is not going to mutate gold old Sarscov2 virus into a winged or legged creature. It still depends on humans, among other "things," to spread. One last thing, "booster" shot, "top-up" shot, whatever, in fact is just one vaccine complementing another. Also there's is no "breakthrough" infection, no vaccines so far can give 100% protection against Covid, in other words, no wall or ceiling existing yet to "break through." So please stop the mumbo-jumbo. 2 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they could spin that like Sinovac defeated Alpha. When in fact it was Delta that did that. Either way, as of now, Alpha is completely irrelevant. And so is his "reassuring" statement. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A study of the Sinovac rollout by the University of Chile reported that the vaccine was 56.5% effective two weeks after second doses were administered in the country. However, they also reported that one dose was just 3% effective (rising to 27.7% within two weeks of the second dose, and 56.5% two weeks later).5 Responding to Gao’s comments, Siti Nadia Tarmizi, a spokeswoman for Indonesia’s covid-19 vaccine programme, said that her country’s phase III Sinovac trial will report efficacy of 65%.6 “The ability to form antibodies in our bodies is still very good,” she said. https://www.bmj.com/content/373/bmj.n969 All vaccine manufacturers are researching on improving vaccine effectiveness in the complexity of mutating virus variants. Study in Singapore revealed Pfizer is 69% effectiveness against the Delta variant. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
