snoop1130 Posted November 24, 2021 Share Posted November 24, 2021 BANGKOK (NNT) - 2022 will be a year of intense booster dose administering, with health authorities aiming to prevent a drop in COVID-19 immunity levels. Meanwhile, a plethora of incentives is now being used in various localities to persuade people to come forth and get their Covid jabs. Department of Disease Control (DDC) Director-General Opas Karnkawinpong asserted that Thailand will achieve herd immunity through vaccination next month. He expects booster dose administering to commence after New Year’s, with an aim of keeping immunity levels from dropping significantly. He said individuals should promptly get their booster shots when the proper time arrives. Dr. Opas said inquiries have been made with the chief public health officers in the 10 provinces with the lowest rates of vaccination, such as Nakhon Phanom and Nong Khai. It was found that the low rates were partly due to many people who were registered residents of the provinces not actually living there and instead were working in Bangkok and could not be contacted. On this point, Dr. Opas noted that those who lived in Bangkok may make use of the walk-in service at the Central Vaccination Center in Bang Sue regardless of which province their home registrations fall under. The director-general added that volunteers in provinces with low vaccination rates have been assigned to increasingly approach people at their doorsteps to encourage them to come forward and receive the vaccine. Some provinces are providing unique incentives, such as handing out rice, cattle, lotteries, and prize draws, to persuade people to get their Covid shots. -- © Copyright NNT 2021-11-24 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they'll offer 500 baht per jab, like they do to get your vote? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to worldmeters.info 25Nov 2021, the total number of covid cases around the world is 259,683,133 which is just about 3.46% of the world population, and that's over 2 years. 98% of those already recovered, so only 2% of all infected people died. That is 0.07% of the world population. The active cases around the world right now: 19,673,255. Out of those only 82,285 are in serious or critical condition. That's 0.4% of total active cases, and that is only 0.001% of the world population. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had corona in March 2020 and I’m still not back to normal. My sister had it in June last year and she hasn’t been able to back to work since. Both of us were perfectly healthy when we got the virus, by the way. Stop downplaying the effects of Covid, short and long term, and take it very seriously, because it can either kill you or seriously mess you up for the rest of your life, even if you’re (relatively) young and perfectly healthy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reports may contain information that is incomplete, inaccurate, coincidental, or unverifiable. Most reports to VAERS are voluntary, which means they are subject to biases. T so thats a big bs .. for me i didnt bother with the 3rd .. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was replying to a post stating how dangerous vaccine was, so I wanted to make a comparison of the danger of a vaccine vs danger of covid.

My point was that although covid can cause serious illness and even death, numbers as reported by health organisations around the world suggest that serious illness and death only happens in a very small % of the world population and the panic from the virus has much more devastating effects on life. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickudon Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 On the reported vaccine deaths - ALL deaths within 2 weeks of vaccination are reported (or should be) to VAERS. It doesn't have to be anything to do with the vaccine, it is so that any unexpected causes will be captured. Now, an individual has a daily risk of death from all causes of about one in twenty thousand - vaccinate one million - do the math - 1,000,000 divided by 20,000 = 50 50 x 14 = 700 deaths per million whether vaccinated or not. So for a country like the UK where about 50 million have been vaccinated, there will be about 35,000 potential deaths - totally unrelated to the vaccine. So a total of under 2,000 potentially related deaths (but may not be, just a cause similar to suspected adverse reactions) is incredibly low. And of course, 144,000 people HAVE died of (or if you prefer, with) Covid-19 in the UK. And if you look at the Covid Case/death rate, in the UK it was 2-3% pre- vaccination, now 0.3% - The benefits of vaccination are obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
