Dont confuse me Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 In my humble opinion the Doctor is simply making reference to 'herd immunity' I do agree with his statement that we have got to learn to live with it, as for people being shunned it is possible this has taken place, bearing in mind the level of education and lack of explanation to the people in some areas. Get people vaccinated this will give them confidence to get back to a normal life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why on this occassion, are we not being asked first if we have any allergic issues with certain medication as you always get asked before taking anything? I do not want to have an experiemental, and as yet unapporved/not fully tested vaccine. That is a basic human right. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK one fills in a questionnaire before getting vaxxed: allergies, existing conditions, meds etc. That, IMO, is how it should be done. And, as I said above, your choice. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if one decides they don't want the vaccine it's their right, that's where herd immunity will come into play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the COVID prisons - they're being locked up in a COVID prison because nobody is to be trusted and the government believes people will immediately go and spread the virus to everyone they know. Zero trust in the people. Not because COVID is actually so bad that they need treatment and monitoring. They treat everyone like naughty children and clearly blame the infected for being infected. The way government are handling this is the problem. But that applies to ALL governments of the world!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vaccinate and try and get on with life , we need normal asap and Thailand is killing itself with no plan of recovery. No plan is normal, unless there is something in it for me, then it's planned very carefully - money is money as they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post khunPer Posted August 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 20, 2021 From the article... “I believe that almost everyone, regardless of which vaccination brand they received, would be infected sooner or later due to new research on the Delta variant and the fact that vaccination will not fully prevent spread or transmission. We cannot live in a state of fear forever. We have to learn to live with it and do not discriminate against those who have already been recovered. They deserve to live like everyone else. We should be reminded to always have mercy on your fellow human beings,” he concluded [doctor, Manoon Leechawengwongs]. I read in my home country's news today that in Israel - which was the first country with a high vaccination rate of the population, most already in January and February, but today only 63 percent are fully vaccinated with two doses Pfizer/BioNTech - the vaccine is rapidly loosing it's effect. Monday (August 15th) Israel registered 8,698 new Covid-cases out of a population of 9 million. Compared to Thailand's population of 70 million that would relative equals 67,000 new daily cases. Israel is now giving people over 50 years a third jab as booster; it's been mentioned before that a booster might be necessary. Anyway, it seems like vaccine - even Chinese made Sinovac* - protects against severe cases and deaths, but it also shows the fact that we are going to live with Covid-19, at least for a while. A good question is then if all the continuing lockdowns are worth its costs...???? - - - - - *) A comment to that even Sinovac-vaccine gives protection. On the island Samui, where I live, a late night birthday party in pub - yes, it should not have been possible at all - resulted in a cluster of Covid cases, which seems to originate from one single lady that arrived from Bangkok, and had been partying on the island. Little more than 70 percent of the island's population had got one jab, and almost 50 percent so-called "fully vaccinated" with two jabs. Those that had two jabs were vaccinated with Sinovac, whilst the one-jabbers are AZ, mainly elder people and foreigners. The so-called "Black Club cluster" from the pub resulted in so far 171 Covid-cases, and at the same time there also was a smaller cluster from another place - the same lady had been visiting - but of all vaccinated with either 1 dose AZ og two doses Sinovac, nobody got severe symptoms... Status published 15th August... Covid-19 status 14th August... Note: The mentioned Hua Thanon cluster is another, which might have be caused by migrant workers. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsmart Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Yes, anyone/everyone can "catch" COVID-19. The vaccines or having natural immunity isn't like have some magical shield around you which repels the virus. Immunity, whether it is from vaccines or a prior infection, just means your body is better able to fight the virus and expel it. This keeps you from having symptoms (getting sick) or at least lessens the degree to which you have symptoms. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have vaccines for the flu but they are not 100% effective so we have to focus on treatments and medications for serious flu cases. Yep.... I am all for anything that can help. I won't rush to take Ivermectin but I am happy to see it being researched.

JerseytoBKK Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 There are 4 current variants of concern (VOCs) and 10 variants under investigation (VUIs) and 17 more variants that are being monitored. Take a look Table 1 for the full list. Then look at Table 5 to see how many people who have received 2 doses have died from Delta.
