A major new cluster of Covid-19 infection has been found at an army training school in Nong Kae, Hua Hin. 

 

A total of 34 students have been infected so far and a gym is being used to isolate those at risk with hundreds under observation.

 

The first case emerged last week after a group of students were taken to Hua Hin Hospital to get Sinopharm jabs.

 

The next day 33 cases emerged. 

 

Sanook reported that the recruits were being given a solution of povidone-iodine (also known as iodopovidone an antiseptic used for skin infections) sprayed in their mouth and noses.

 

This has been used among the prison populations infected with Covid-19. 

 

In wider news about infections Suriya Khuharat of the Prachuap Khiri Khan health authority reported 100 new cases of Covid in the province bringing the total to 8,577 of which 1,690 are undergoing treatment. 59 are in a serious condition. 

 

There are 719 beds remaining in the province.

What in the world?

Tested the day after they were jabbed and found to have Covid.  Seems they were infected and possibly positive when jabbed unless they were given ATK tests.

Please tell me they didn't take notice of Trump.

It’s been exactly one year since Trump suggested injecting bleach. We’ve never been the same.

The headline, as is often the case, is extremely misleading. The fact that they had a Sinopharm vaccination the day before they were diagnosed as Covid positive is irrelevant.  

[bkk_bwana]

What they mean is:  "34 army students who were infected with Covid went to Hua Hin hospital and had a Sinopharm vaccination".

When have army students been a prioritized vaccination group?

Since 2014?

Not for covid and the WHO vaccination plan priority guidelines, also never heard about a pandemic in 2014 with a huge shortage of vaccines for the elderly and those with underlying diseases either.

[mommysboy]

Timeline suggests they were already infected.

 

More young people getting vaccinated ahead of oldsters.

 

Thailand will not be able to come out of lockdown until 90% of olduns have the jab, or it will be carnage.  

 

No brainer for every country- except Thailand!

Oh dear.

We were told Sinopharm is secure.

Where to accuse them of fake news?

Link please

[ThailandRyan]

One things for sure the OP title makes it sound like the army students are a cluster, but are they not a group of students instead of a cluster of students. I mean ......is that like a gaggle of geese or a ......group of super spreaders....

What happened with "the thai university hub" of mouthwash?

Very quiet about this pandemic beating invention.

I was expecting that all amulet sellers who now sell mouthwash to protect.

Also, no vaccine is ever going to protect you from infection the day after you get it. It takes at least 10-14 days after an injection for a high enough antibody level to build up (sometimes longer).

No vaccine provides protection within 24 hours.

What's the point of testing 1 day after the vaccination? We're they expecting immunity after a day?

Surely they should have been tested prior to the vaccination, then they would have been isolated to protect others, who have probably now got the virus from the vaccination centre.S

There is no substitute for incompetence.

Please dont tell China this, it may upset them.

This is the same as dentists use for oral rinse. Highly antibacterial, viruses who knows. But as long as they all didn't use the same cup, it's good treatment.
