But he has been vaccinated 6 times.....but then we know you can still be Infected by the virus, and it helps keep the symptoms at a minimum, as well as the chance of hospitalization. Maybe it will now cause him to have a moment of sentient reality and stop his rhetoric.  Probably became infected by sharing a Bong.

Oh I can see this thread filled with many pages of comments within minutes ????

 

Didn't he just get his 6th booster shot or something?

 

At least that'll prevent him from working for the next few days, not a bad thing I guess...

Couldn,t happen to a nicer Chap

Even after a gazillion Vaccinations.

I guess not wearing a Mask has finally caught up with him ????

I think the opposite. A perfect opportunity to blame the foreigner is far more likely with his known track record.

^^  Yup, it woz the dirty French wot infected him.... (obvious).

 

Incubation period?

Thai health minister catches COVID-19 after overseas trip despite 6 vaccine shots

 

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul tested positive for COVID-19, using a rapid antigen test, upon his return from abroad on Sunday, even though he has already received six doses of vaccine, with the last one being administered on June 13th.

 

Public Health Permanent Secretary Dr. Kiattibhoom Vongrachit said today (Tuesday) that Anutin has developed muscle pains and a throat irritation and has been advised to self-isolate for a week.

 

He said that the minister might have contracted the virus on his overseas trip, having met and talked with many people attending the meetings.

Some weed should sort him out.

Mixing with the dirty farangs must have done it.

Well, it was Chinese Sinovac! ????

[ourmanflint]

He caught it in Thailand I bet but ashamed to admit it

[tomacht8]

muscle pains and a throat irritation can also come next day, if you spend all night long with a thai stunning girl,

oversexercise and drink to much whisky with ice cubes.

Hope he was wearing his mask when he got it, just to prove a point, that said, it would be more than likely he got it before he left Thailand, e.g. incubation period.

He should have stayed away for those questionable looking young ladies in them bars, but would he listen?...

[BestB]

Ohh no , it’s 3 days of having slight headache and no idiotic comments or announcements 

[simola]

Those dirty farang.

[Kaopad999]

another excuse to blame farang for Covid 

[spidermike007]

One can only speculate how it was transmitted. Alot of thoughts I cannot write here. A nice irony here from Mr. Booster shot. 

[anchadian]

 

Thai Dep PM and Anutin, who tested positive for #COVID19 today, wrote on Facebook thanking those who wish him a speedy recovery - and posted this photo of a rapid test with a…special result.

How, exactly, do "mild symptoms" present?

 

A very slight fever?

 

Only cough twice a day?

 

Only slightly congested?

 

Barely noticeable headache?

My sister-in-law’s brother was so paranoid about Covid, he wore N-95 masks, those blue gloves, face shield over his face, shots plus boosters, and then he was totally mystified and puzzled when he still came down with Covid anyways. He couldn’t figure out how it happened when he obeyed all the rules and did what they told us to do. 
   So much for masks……even N-95 masks didn’t stop him from getting Covid.   I got Covid also in January and it was like a very mild Flu for two weeks. Positive RAT tested twice.  
    Had my two Pfizer shots in 2021.  Moderna booster in January, and five days after the booster, came down with Covid. 70 years old, borderline diabetic, on the obese side of weight, quadruple bypass.  But Covid never even slowed me down.  The two weeks I had it was easy.  Not near as bad as regular Flu infection.

If only he had taken his 7th vaccine, he'd have been fine.

Sinovac is what I have been given courtesy from the Thai Government .

So far in over two years I have not contracted COVID and if I did I would not be hospitalised.

I would say millions of people around the world can say the same as my self and have prevented hospitalisation due to COVID vaccines that were made available well before the western vaccinations were available.
