csmith Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 From my perspective in Chiangmai ….. Thai Gov have been doing a good job getting 2 jabs (Pfizer) to older expats here. ….. at least providing the opportunity to those that want to take advantage of it. Appreciated. 16C21FDB-464B-47FF-8D36-D4C2FF50AE28.webp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denmark has opened. Israel having breakouts and hospitals under strain, from re-infected vaccinated population , they were the first country to achieve a high percentage population vaccination rate. NZ and Aussie talking of the 3rd Jab, because the efficacy of vaccines are dropping and NZ uses Pfizer, so Delta is reinfecting vaccinated people and know they do not know what will happen when they open up. India has 97.5% recovery from Delta, and case numbers are on the decline - in the 30k mark now so compared to Thailand, Indias population ,over a billion and Thailand with 12/15k cases a day at 65 million population, thats pretty good news.. Natural herd immunity is happening. That being said the political salesman are now at the x- road as they know vaccines are not going to stop reinfection and they are going to have to look at how they treat hospital cases, (using drugs!!! wow!!) which have been very low in NZ, with one death from Delta (a 99 yr old women) since the outbreak. But a group called the 500 doctors have signed a letter, joining themselves together and saying your 10 times more likely to die from Delta if you dont get vaccinated. This was on RNZ news today, the interviewer failed to ask who generated the letter that they signed or questioned their knowledge of future side effects or how they got the 10 times more likely to die figures from. Because that's not happening in India or Denmark. India today news publishes their recovery rates and natural immunity development almost every day, Denmark has publicly said we can open and we can cope , we are confident our Hospitals can handle the opening of Denmark. Meanwhile Joe Biden has fired the Blame Cannon at the unvaccinated saying that the USA is a Pandemic of the unvaccinated. Well it seems a large majority of health experts concur that the double vaccinated have far less chance of getting seriously ill or dying from Covid. You may disagree and feel the benefits of vaccination are outweighed by the short or long term risks. Entirely your choice but its unfair to criticise Biden , his comments are backed up by USA statistics. The majority of Americans being hospitalised and dying from Covid currently are unvaccinated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple more Covid numbers: 78% of deaths were obese, 88% of deaths occur in obese countries. A lot of Americans that choose not to get vax'd happen to also be obese. It's an odd stereotype here in the US, but fat idiots tend to belong to one political party that more often shuns the vax for whatever reasons, so that's what were dealing with now, especially here in Florida (the Thailand of the West), it is a pandemic of the unvax'd but it doesn't affect the rest of us, business as usual here.

Meanwhile Joe Biden has fired the Blame Cannon at the unvaccinated saying that the USA is a Pandemic of the unvaccinated. Maybe Pennsylvania is part of the plot? Pennsylvania releases new COVID-19 data on breakthrough cases 97 percent of COVID-19-related deaths were in unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated people. Among a total of 6,472 COVID-19-related deaths identified in Pennsylvania in 2021, the latest data shows 213, or 3 percent, post-vaccination deaths identified. Cumulative death incidence among the unvaccinated and not fully vaccinated was 7.9 times as high as the death incidence among the fully vaccinated. https://www.wgal.com/article/pennsylvania-new-covid-data-breakthrough-cases/37618865# Denmark can reopen because 74.2% of its population has been fully vaccinated and it has an excellent public health system. What you failed to note about Israel is that it's vaccination rate stalled at about 60%. https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/israel Thanks in large part to the ultraorthdox who devote their time to studying sacred texts that apparently tell them that vaccination is evil. They have an extremely high fertility rate and live at close quarters in a community that stresses the importance of communal activities.Still, lately, the rate of first inoculations have risen so there is hope for the future. And preliminary studies of boosters show that antibody levels rise sharply after the booster is delivered. https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/25/world/middleeast/israels-vaccine-data.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stargeezr Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Hey fellow guests of Thailand. Just a reminder. The government does not seem to care about the elders in Thailand, whether they are Thai or expat from some other country. I guess they figure that the elders are not working or moving around as much as the young crowd. I guess this is called Thai thinking. For those who are lucky to have the money, or can get a 3rd shot, be happy that you are not in Afirca. Just saying that there are still some countries that are not as far ahead of the pandemic as Thailand. Geezer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogNo1 Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 According to a doctor from UCSF Medical School,. it's not just people who are outwardly obese. People who do not look fat can have a high amount of visceral fat. The villain is Metabolic Syndrome which produces all of the dangerous conditions: hypertension, diabetes, pre-diabetes, fatty liver, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gearbox Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 On 9/16/2021 at 3:32 AM, vandeventer said: 2 Sinovac vaccines and 1 Sinovac booster= how much protection and where can I travel to other than China? It would be way better to get an AZ booster. Studies of boosting Sinovac with CanSino (Chinese vaccine similar to AZ) show much higher antibodies with CanSino booster shot than a third Sinovac. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/science/article/3148001/chinese-study-suggests-using-different-covid-19-vaccines-booster "After two weeks, those given two shots and the CanSino booster were producing 78 times the number of antibodies that they were beforehand, compared with 15.2 times the level for those given a third Sinovac shot." CanSino is not available in Thailand, but Thai studies with Sinovac + AZ booster show similar high levels of protection. My gf has 2 Sinovac shots, I recommended to her to get AZ booster, not Pfizer or Moderna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
