By the way, today I got my THIRD Pfizer. FREE of charge. This is the difference between a 1st world country and 3rd world country.

Now why would you need a Third Pfizer jab unless you were vaccinated with Pfizer 6 months or so ago elsewhere.

[dinsdale]

More deflection of blame. 11 million aren't vaccinated by choice is what they are saying here. Nothing to do with vaccine rollout mismanagement.

No. But the Thai don't pay taxes ? And still have to pay for a jab.

Nope. Wife and whole family double jabbed for free and myself double jabbed with free Pfitzer. 

 

Its only Modern some people are choosing to pay for.

diabetes, high blood sugar, insulin resistance,  high death rates amongst that catergory of people

 

has not be debated by ANY government in the world

 

every big sugar consumption will put your immune system to sleep for 4-6 hours (fact)

 

so getting infected while on a sugar high / low immune situation is real

 

same goes for medication that suppresses your own immune system

 

 

giving donuts or ice-cream after a jab, as I saw at a vaccination camp near my shopping mall

 

is contra indicated

 

 

but a vaccine apparently even cures the sickest of population of EVERYTHING

 

 

I love the talks about : vaccinated should pay hospitalization out of their own pocket

 

I AGREE

 

as I do anyway, but try to avoid HOSPITALS as the PEST and try not having to go there

 

 

you with your expensive super nice insurance that pays for everything

 

I prefer to not have to go see a MD for pills to threat something that is probably self inflicted

 

I don't mean for stabbings or road accidents, EMERGENCY room is the best for that

 

 

for chronic diseases, mostly self inflicted by eating junk, never be in the sun , not exercising... 

 

 

not one government address :   stop eating junk food and sugar, get in the sun, get some extra vitamin D, get your vitamin D levels checked

 

studies show that many hospitalized people are... super low in vitamin D

 

 

but hey, call me a conspiracy terrorist (lol)

 

 

20 months, no jab, probably had covid beginning of last year, got over it after a few days

Because people are stupid. Easy answer.

As per my above post. This is more about availabilty not chosing not to get jabbed. This is another con job apportioning blame to the unvaccinated and hence away from themselves which some on here are buying into.

it was discovered that there are still 11 million of Thailand’s population of 70 million who are yet to receive their first vaccine dose.

I think it is more like 24 or 25 million who have not even had 1 shot.  https://ourworldindata.org/covid-vaccinations . Why are they not telling the truth when fact checking is so easy. It just make one not believe ANYTHING they say.

Apparently because of the false narrative and scaremongering on both sides with the misinformation being spread by friends, family and on the internet which has become a de-facto truth only platform.  Then add into it the actions of this Government and governments around the world.  Instead of believing the science and efficacy surrounding being vaccinated they would rather take their chances sans a vaccine and instead of reducing the risk of getting very sick with the virus they want to play Russian roulette, yet that is everyone's prerogative to do what they want with what they think is best for their bodies.  However, until everyone gets on board this will never end..

I think the discrepancy in these numbers are children under 12, who don't get vaccinated yet.

Great comment, I was actually talking to a friend in Thailand last night haven't heard form him in ages and he has no idea of whats going on in the rest of the world he only sees Thai news. When I told him about the protests all around the world , he was confused and said "what are they protesting about" This is what mainstream does to people it is Nazi propaganda at its best. Nobody wants to look up the VAERS America, or TGA Australia or NHS UK. in which the Oxford university said that the reporting on these sites is only about 1% . so do the sums yourself readers. good luck. and yes vitamin D and zinc is the bullet. 

[Sydebolle]

Somtam, Lakorn, Doughnuts and, if nothing works, invoke a new law as the boys at the parliament have been spinning out ever since 2014. So many laws to curtail Thais, lets go for the law Sipgao (19); non-vaccinated being thrown into the slammer for 50 years or fined 500 Baht - or both!

Senior Thai officials are mulling incentives to encourage about 11 million as yet unvaccinated Thais to get inoculated against COVID-19 this month.

Just drop the Sino vaccines, then no problem.

When I went for my AZ jabs the Thais with no health issues under 60 had to have Sinovac as a first vaccine... no other option.

Many walked out saying no thanks.

Good point, but are you telling me , take the numbers of Singapore, only 7% of their population is under 12 and 100% of the rest of the population is vaccinated?

[Stoker58]

 Singapore, very high vax rate and now very high and rising covid cases because they’ve screwed up their immune systems. Gibraltar and Israel the same.

 Hope Thailand wakes up before it’s too late. If you have to be bribed or coerced to do something, it’s not for your own good.

You should understand by now a vaccination is not a cure... it just lessons the symptoms if infected.

[keithkarmann]

When a nation believes in Spirits and Witch doctor cures, it is easy to understand why a lot of people think that the vacinnes are not needed.

Care to show a study and prove your post on how the vaccines have screwed up peoples immune systems?  Wait are you relying on the misinformation being spread......guess you don't believe that the OTC meds you buy for yourself may have side effects as well, just like cigarettes', Alcohol and a few other things people just take for granted.

Place their names on a list, when they acquire Covid, simply advise that they will not benefit from

free health-care, but must pay all private charges. Our local hospital is working 6 days a week giving vaccines, I as a Farang received my 2 doses locally, and free of charge. There is no excuse for not being vaccinated.

The situation is different in different places. My wife and kid travelled to another province to get vaccinated.

[Russell17au]

There are still many areas of Isaan that have not seen any vaccines but They can give the third shot boosters to people around Bangkok and now they are threatening those who have not had their first shot with isolation. There are many dictators here on this forum that say you can just take any vaccine without these dictators having any medical or scientific knowledge. To these dictators I will ask what people should not get an Astra-Zenica vaccine injection?

As an anti-vaxxer, you are aware that the unvaccinated may infect the vaccinated, although such infections are rare. So, it would be reasonable to protect oneself against an unvaccinated family member.

Likewise it is highly possible for a fully vaxed person to carry and pass the Virus to an unvaxed sole.

People on here believe scientists, who have such knowledge, that these vaccines are safe.

Are you saying they are not safe to use? In this case you should contact the Thai FDA, and probably also the FDA in other countries and the WHO and present your evidence to them, so they will ban these unsafe vaccines asap.

It's possible, yes, but the chance is lower compared to an unvaccinated person.

No high rising cases, deaths or hospitalizations going on in Israel, only a steep decline, check your facts before posting nonsense.

 

Singapore also in a steep decline.

I’m interested no more than that to know where in Issan are people still waiting for there first shot of anything?
