Status: not vaccinated.

According to studies cited in this article https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2021/09/15/natural-immunity-vaccine-mandate/

natural immunity is stronger than immunity from vaccination. This confirms the results of decades of research on other viruses. This confirms that covid has been politicized and commercialized from day 1. Hopefully honest science takes hold and people who have natural immunity after illness will not be discriminated against in the future and get the same rights as vaccinated.

Wifey & I both got our 2nd Pfizer last Friday, Aug 17, at Bumrungrad Hospital in BKK. Thank you U.S.

Yes, that’s the beauty of the internet, many sources and opinions to digest. But i tend to trust my common sense. There is no reason to believe that scientists in the previous decades of research on viruses were wrong, i haven’t seen such claim and it is unlikely to appear any time soon. So i tend to trust the view of solid decades long science on that, not the half baked rushed agenda.

We can all find links and experts who will share whichever side of the fence you are with vaccines and natural immunity.

 

However, governments around the world that dictate the entry conditions for each country are very much leaning towards double vaccinated people as opposed to unvaccinated. I doubt they will allow them on the plane at the departure point.

Yes, this is obvious. But to many people this will look like discrimination, not scientifically based. They are just losing what little is left of their credibility with those requirements.

When have governments, Prime ministers, Presidents ever cared about what we think of them?

That’s the thing that sheep can’t comprehend. This will never end.
 

“Just get the jab so I can go back to my normal life”. Life will never be the way it was again. You’re signing up for a lifetime of oppression and many, many more jabs. Israel is already on their 4th jab. =D

Don't be so condescending. Of course people know that 'this will never end', but what mass vaccination is doing is doing is reducing Covid to an influenza-like level of severity. Bearing in mind that about half a million people die each year from 'flu, which has been considered "acceptable" in the past with no need for lockdowns etc., it should be perfectly possible to return to some sort of normality as soon as there is sufficient protection. That may well mean a need to have a booster jab each year, just as many people have 'flu jabs.

I tend to agree into the next few years but like the "flu" Covid will fall into that category and restrictions will be quashed.

Hmm.  You think so?  I have not seen any medical recommendations to get a booster 3 months after your second shot.

Good luck, but don't be surprised if they deny it.

The advice for the 3 month gap comes from THG ( Thonburi Healthcare Group ).

 

My wife and I registered with THG and paid for 1 jab of Moderna months ago when they opened registrations.

On Sept 3 we both received a LINE message from THG re Moderna with the following information:

#1. If you have already received 1 jab of any vaccine, they recommend you receive the 2nd jab before you receive Moderna.

#2. If you choose not to have the 2nd jab with the same vaccine here are the wait times before Moderna will be effective:

i.  Jab 1 Sinovac or AZ must wait at least 2 months after first jab for Moderna, which in this case would be a 2nd jab

ii. 2 jabs of Sinovac or Sinopharm must wait more than 1 month after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna

iii. 2 jabs of AZ must wait 3 months after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna

iv. 1 jab Sinovac & 1 jab AZ must wait 3 months after 2nd jab before receiving Moderna

 

We were then required to complete a questionnaire regarding what jabs we had received and when we had or were scheduled to receive the 2nd jab. Based on the aforementioned wait periods we then had to choose the month we wished to receive Moderna and we had to also choose, from a list of private hospitals nationwide, which hospital we would attend to receive our jab.

 

As far as I'm aware every person who registered with THG to receive Moderna & paid the fee would have received this same LINE message from them. I know my friends that registered and my wife's friends that registered with THG all received the same LINE message from THG.

 

two Phizers shots

Obvious choice is missing. 2 AZ doses, safe as it gets so far.

Poorly designed survey!!!!!

 

What about 2 shots of Az?????? Common for farang in thailand....

"Other", I'm fully vaccinated with two jabs of AstraZeneca, thank you Thailand...????

1. AZ, 2, BioNTech
Both in Germany.

 

2 months after 2nd shot an IgG test (SARS-CoV-2 S-ak quantitative) shows 3670 BAU/ml antibodies.
Will try to get 3rd shot about 5 mon after 2nd.

 

2 Pfizer jabs. Perhaps will get the 3rd next year.

First shot of Pfizer (Khon Kaen 2 weeks ago), second shot next Sunday.  If given the chance I will get boosters or Moderna next year. 

Double Moderna. Not in Thailand

Done and dusted...two shots Pfizer ????

now walking round with "farang has been vaccinated" notice on my head so our Thai hosts feel safer and no need to cross the road to avoid contact...????????????

Happy farang.

Me-Pfizer x 2, Wife-J &J,  Daughter- Pfizer x 2. All in US

On foreign shores..

My Thai wife:Pfizer x 2

Myself:Astra Zeneca x 1-next jab due in November.

2 shots of Pfizer.  CVS Pharmacy in Southern California.  Now waiting for my COE.  

Why didn't you have an option for fully vaccinated? 

Two. Moderna Feb/Mar this year, on waiting list for Booster shot, taking no chances, there are too many non-vaxers out there for 'whatever reasons'. None of my business, just like the Flu Shots, I get one every year, never get the flu, my brother hasn't had one in 40 years and never gets the flu.  Until it's proven otherwise, I will continue to get boosters whenever they offer it, my life is too precious to be taking chances based on a 'belief'.     Can someone tell me what religions prohibit vaccinations, and why?? did they  include the triple shot for mumps, measles and ??  also Polio shots children need to attend school - were they also prohibited by some abstract religion??

Fully vaccinated with Pfizer.  Vaccinated overseas.

Was looking for this choice in the survey. I went back to my home country to get 2 Pfizers and very glad I did so seeing that the only choice from now on is Sinovac. I would have gladly paid for Pfizer or Moderna but it wasn't possible and still doesn't seem to be.

2 shots of AZ for me.

 

Moderna paid for but not yet administered.

Same here.

Why is 'fully vaccinated' not an option here?
