According to the CCSA, of the doses administered yesterday, 547,128 were first jabs, 361,284 were second jabs and 7,326 were third, or booster shots.

 

Since February 28th, a total of 30,420,507 doses of vaccines have been administered across the country.

Sounds incredible. That's more than 1% of their population in 1 day. 

[Gold Star]

Ahhh, but how many were real vaccines, not Chinese?

[ezzra]

And the BS continue to come fast and thick, even faster than the supposed vaccination rate, 915 k vax a day my eye...

What's more is that previous "good days" were ~ 550k.

Then what?...... get serious and crank it up to ~916k

Absolute nonsense.

I really hope this is true but my BS detector is twitching.

Indeed !

I believe that Sinovac is known to be ineffective against the prevalent Delta variant of the Wuhan virus.

Yesterday my Thai wife was offered a Sinovac appointment but refused it, together with almost the whole village. Through negative reports on tv, Line and Facebook they distrust Sinovac and hope later to receive AZ or Pfizer.

Well, now I am confused. Booster shots are "supposed" to be given to population at risk within a certain timeframe. I am pretty sure that this has not been long enough since anyone has got the second jab. Also has it been made any mention of such a program in Thailand ?

[cyril sneer]

I believe these high daily figures to be true. 

 

The problem will start once the donated vaccines finish. The number will then drop significantly. 

[lujanit]

What brand of vaccines?  The source article doesn't say.  The third booster shots will be for frontline medical workers who received Sinovac.  There are going to be a lot of booster shots for people who have had both jabs of the useless Sinovac since it doesn't protect against Delta.

lots of different stories but the latest research on the Pfizer vaccine has said there is a sudden sharp drop off in its ability to protect you (don't know at what time period that is). All UK residents over 50/55 are to have booster shots as they are worried that with a cold winter there will be a sudden upturn of cases/.deaths

I wonder how many of these were 3 weeks after the 1st AZ jab. I know 156 were as I have previously posted. This is how you get fully vaccinated numbers up quickly. Never mind that protection will now last a much shorter time. AZ 8wks between shots minimum with recommended being 12 wks.

I would love to know the entire process regarding reporting and incentives for vaccines. I suspect there is massive potential for corruption money to be made by each province or vaccine centre reporting higher vaccinations than they have actually done.

 

Knowing the absolute shamelessness here I would not be at all surprised to see vaccination numbers of 1,500,000 per day reported at some stage. The numbers will of course be complete nonsense but the problem is that everyone’s a winner if they report higher numbers than the actual reality.

[Marvin Hagler]

Completely absurd when you think about it…total BS numbers.

 

That equates to 1.5% of the entire population in a single day. Or 12% of the population of Bangkok in a single day.

 

Shame on anyone that actually believes those numbers.

[bdenner]

Forget the posted numbers, just good to see it is. I have had my 1st Pfizer and our local hospital, here in the sleepy rice paddies, has been heaving for the past 3 weeks.

Interesting info-graphic from BP

coming soom Thailand administers 280  million shots in 1  month............unfortunately thats 4  times the population

24 Aug    573,445

25 Aug    585,214

26 Aug    637,921

27 Aug    669,189

28 Aug    915,738

 

 

 

I'm normally skeptical (and the 915,738 figure stands out), but I'm not certain who would benefit from fudging the numbers, or who gets to decide what to fudge the number to each day? And if that ever leaked, well someone might be hanged.

 

The regime is quite incompetent, no one could argue against that, so imagining they could cobble together such a scheme, to inflate vaccination numbers, begs credulity.

915,000 in a single day.

Based on a 12 hour day;

76,250 per hour.

1,270 per minute.

21 per second.

 

Does that look possible? I don't know how many separate sites are administering the vaccines, but say for example it's 21 sites, they'd have to be jabbing 1 person every second, for 12 hours.

The people who would benefit from fudging the numbers are the people in charge of the purchase & distribution of the vaccines, for example, several of my son's friends have had both jabs, many months ago actually, because their parents work in high up positions in private corporations, how did they get their hands on vaccines so long ago? Vaccines weren't(& possibly still aren't?) commercially available...

No doubt about it. I am just saying that this has definitely not reached the Thai public and wonder where this comes from. Let alone the fact that Sinovac and Astra Zeneca are the mere vaccines administered over here

I was just using that as an example, multiply it by 10 times and you'll still be getting unrealistic numbers.

[ikke1959]

I think they doubled the vaccines of Friday forgot to rest the calculator.. Why is this only possible on 1day and not on other days????

All fake figures I suppose

[Neeranam]

Bloody incredible, great job the government! 

 

Yet, ..... the same people who moaned about foreigners going to the end of the queue, which never happened(in fact are ahead in the queue) are moaning about getting the vaccines that they said they would never get, even if it's Astrazenica or Pfiezer.

 

I was one of the 900,000, and took Sinovac, when my foreign friends got better ones. 

[DrJack54]

What happened to the vaccination sites that had very over crowded pictures.  Think one gov official suggested it was bad camera angle.

I was at Bang Sue on July 27 and it was seriously overcrowded Mad house.

Note that the staff did amazing job.

So jabs back then were perhaps 500k or less? Where are they doing the extra 400k+.

What happened to the many front line vac sites saying that they had inadequate supplies.

Rather selfish, IMHO. My wife and I would have rather had another one but took it.
