I'm thinking many of the 87.5% jabbed in BKK need a booster because they got 2 Sinovac. If you need a booster you are not fully vaccinated. All double Sinovac jabbed need an mRNA booster.

Popular Post Cake Monster Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 4 hours ago, ThailandRyan said: I agree and your post seems to be very correct from what I observed in the first months of the pandemic here in 2020. That was the deaths here in the north of members of my extended family who ended up dying after the Chinese new years, and having traveled to Bangkok to enjoy the festivities. However, after returning home they became sick and a few weeks or so later they were gone dying at home and they were never tested, it was written about and many others agreed but then many disagreed and indicated it would be all over social media if deaths were occurring. We now know that there were reported excess deaths during this time and that the MOPH locked off their databases and reports were washed from the internet. This was also around the same time I felt that I had a very bad case of the flu and sicker than I had ever been, having had the flu vaccine in the US before landing back here in November of 2019. This has also been discussed and many I know feel they possibly had covid back then as well as it took a few months to clear from our bodies. ONe can only wonder what the true numbers were, especially when there were very cases being reported for months on end and so few deaths counted until the wave that swept through in December, and then the big Delta wave that we are still riding downwards. It is so sad to hear about the passing of some of your extended family, and one wonders just how many people in similar circumstances were never tested. My Wife and I were also very sick with " Flu " like symptoms as far back as late October of last year. We were both so very sick for several Months, and I am convinced to this day that this illness weakened my Wifes body sufficiently to bring about a Stroke she had soon after recovery from that illness. Thank God she is a strong Lady and is doing very well now after this shock. About this time there were also many posters on this Forum asking about being very ill that resided in the Pattaya area As sure as Eggs are Eggs, Covid was among us well before it was reported by the CCP, and I truly believe that the full extent of the Covid Outbreak Pandemic and all the fall out from it will never be fully known, but can only be treated with some skepticism. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There have been 1,975,591 infections and 19,703 coronavirus-related deaths reported in the country since the pandemic began Here in Finland over 12 years old 86% has get one jab and 80% two. Still Infections per 100k people is 143! Maybe decision maker's need take trip to Thailand and see what they do so much "better" lol. 256 people are in hospital and from those 34 are in ICU. Government promise earlier that they open hole country when 80% have double vaxxed, now they say its not enough! Need get 90% and everybody know its impossible coz so many dont want take vaccine.

It doesn't make for good reading and unless I'm missing something it's not broken down into vaccine types. Double jabbed rates in Issan are very, very low and again looking at the chart I think you posted, the greatest number of Sinovac jabs goes to Issan. Just disgusting. Give the 'peasants' the Chinese rubbish. I wonder how many foreign workers in BKK have been jabbed with the same juice that makes up that double jabbed %. AZ shots 3wks apart not 12? It's all an illusion to make the figures look good. Anyone who cannot see this is blinkered. Again remember every double jabbed person with Sinovac needs number 3 mRNA booster.

Kids in the US no issues at all with the Pfizer, but my sister had the Moderna and was sick for a day after each jab, her husband no issues except a sore arm. Mother had Moderna and no issues with either jab, and she is 86. Of course my mother did come down with Covid after being vaccinated during the 3rd month, and thankfully she recovered after a few weeks in the hospital. God forbid had she not been vaccinated.

By the time I got back to Thailand a week later, and went to a hospital to get checked, I had red eyes with green coming out of them.

ThailandRyan Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 I guess that the we shall see what kind of booster program is rolled out to the ExPat community and others who received the double jab of AZ. When I hit the States in January I will check with my doctor and see if he recommends a booster before I return or to wait. My second jab was on September 16th so I will do some research and see what the recommendations have been in the UK since I do not follow the actual vaccinations over that way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
