What a joke, they just give it away because no one in France want to get this booster 555

France has among the higher rates of both primary vaccination (two doses--about 79%) and booster vaccination (3rd dose or more--almost 61%) among the various countries in Europe, according to the WHO. And both rates being well above the world averages.

The darker green colors are indicators of higher COVID vaccine booster rates by country. France and its citizens are doing quite well when it comes to COVID vaccination rates compared to their peers.

Its probably about to expire... nobody wants it any more. Way too many reports of side effects.I only took the 2 Phyzer shots because someone said we couldn't renew our visa without it.No more useless shots for me!

Initially I was scared and confined myself in Thailand for two years but did not bother to vaccinated. When I reached USA, I wanted to get as many jabs as possible. The closest walgreen to my house was only offering Moderna. I took three jabs as prescribed. After that I decided no more for me. Should I take the fourth before I come to Thailand next week? I can get it tomorrow.

These things, obviously, are personal and medical decisions that each individual makes for themselves. But I can offer some general guidance.

 

1. The COVID vaccines in the U.S.,  including the new bivalent ones aimed at Omicron, are readily available and free. In Thailand, the availability of the bivalent shots, especially for farangs, is at best uncertain and limited. And if you found a source, if they class you as a tourist, you'd be required to pay 1,000+ baht.

 

2. In general, the current vaccines provide decent protection against just any COVID infection for a couple months post injection, and that protection gradually declines to a pretty low point after 6 months and beyond. However, the protection against serious illness and death is believed to be more long-lasting, though not indefinite.

 

3. The risks of bad health outcomes, should someone become infected with the COVID virus, even the current Omicron strains, increase significantly with older age groups, especially 60 and beyond, the older the person, the higher the risk. And there similarly are higher risks for people with chronic health conditions like overweight/obesity, high blood pressure, diabetes, and others.

 

Even for younger people, there are sizeable numbers of people who have relatively minor symptoms during the initial infection, but then go on to have enduring, so-called "Long COVID" symptoms for months or even year-plus duration of fatigue, mental fogginess, respiratory problems, chest pain, etc etc.

 

The way I think of it, getting a COVID infection is somewhat like spinning a Roulette wheel. Some people emerge relatively unscathed. Others don't, with outcomes ranging from minor to fatal. Problem is, there are no guarantees going in whether you're going to win or lose when you spin the wheel.

 

That's why I personally believe keeping with recommended COVID vaccination is a prudent way to reduce one's risks of bad health outcomes. More than 13 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide since the start of the pandemic, and the very rare risks of vaccine side effects are far outweighed by the risks of COVID itself. 

 

That's the assessment of mainstream public health agencies and infectious disease experts, pretty much worldwide. WHO, CDC, THMoPH, AMA, Johns Hopkins, etc etc....

More unsubstantiated antivax nonsense and troll posts reported/removed

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

The Bangkok local government did a Facebook post on Sunday advertising the availability of Pfizer bivalent, Pfizer original and AstraZeneca COVID vaccines every Friday afternoon at district health centers. Presumably that is aimed primarily at Thai citizens, but dunno what the health centers would do if farangs showed up.

 

 

https://www.facebook.com/prbangkok/posts/pfbid02EERaHGArWN7g5DxCRh2uv6nMPQC1vq3rs9ziv4qMRZH1kDREYNMqp4295Hj3nG91l

 

FB Translation:

Bangkok. Invite the public to get Covid 19 vaccination for free!!

At the health service center near my home.

 

Open every Friday except public holidays.

From 13.00 - 15.00 p.m.

At 69 health service centers.

 

You can enter the service by booking an appointment for vaccination through QueQ application or Walk in. Please enquire about the service centre before entering as there are limited availability of vaccines."

I had 2 astra. Based purely on the coercive tactics used. Too many to list. But a few were no more air travel if do not take. None entry to sporting events or even supermarkets.

 

The truth is all coming out now and the vast majority would not have them even if they were paid to have them. 

 

I even recall being told have the shots to protect others as you won't be able to pass on the so called virus. A total and utter propaganda job that even Josef Goebellls would have been proud of.

Yes... the truth is coming out, despite uninformed posts like yours.

 

 

"According to the latest study from the MRC Centre for Global Infectious Illness Analysis at Imperial College London, international vaccination programs prevented 14.4 million fatalities from Covid-19 between December 8, 2020, and December 8, 2021. In Thailand, immunization initiatives saved around 382,600 lives over that period.

 

A research team from Mahidol University and Naresuan University led by Associate Professor Dr. Charin Modchang expanded the study and utilized the same mathematical modeling approaches to estimate the number of lives saved due to Thailand’s vaccine rollout. The study revealed that between the time the first vaccine was administered in 2021 and July 3, 2022, 490,000 lives were saved."

It's actually floor 12A, not 12.

Still vaccinating today,  very easy and efficient,  not crowded. 

 

Foreigners bring passport (required), pink card (helpful if available) and documentation of any vaccines you have had in Thailand (they need the 

number beginning with 6000000... from that documentation for their database). They don't care about vaccines you had in other countries. 

 

Seems like everybody gets "Pfizer Bi"   (meaning bivalent).

 

A big "Thank you" to Tallguy for keeping us updated in face of all these <deleted>in <deleted> <deleted> antivaxxers.

Interesting,  TV wil not delete the word "antivaxxers" - isn't that the worst expletive of all?

TallguyJohn, you're a saint, first for your tireless update of the covid vax scene, second for still managing to calmly deal with those who are triggered by the word "vaccine" and unable to find their inner peace when people around them keep going to the clinic to get their shots. What a feeling to find out we are still living among lunatics straight out of the dark ages.

 

Following your lead, we went to the dermatology place on Monday and were in and out in 1 hour. Quite a lot of people there where the staff got overwhelmed at some point, but somehow we all managed. Just walk in, you will spend about 5 - 10 minutes longer than those with appointments, for having to register on site. Considering the size of the crowd that day, it was also announced that the clinic will be able to provide the bivalent booster till the end of this month, so "don't panic."

 

For those who are interested and not sure of the timeline, get your booster shot 6 months after your last shot, whether it was the parent shot or another booster shot. We now are getting into the 3rd year of getting vaccinated, and the medical authorities are still in the observing mode, so they  (tell us) just have to play by ears, in short nothing is set in stone. If you suffer vaccination fatigue, just pencil this in your calendar, get the latest booster every 6 months onward. In the meantime, keep washing your hands, wearing your mask, and checking back in this forum periodically to see what TallguyJohn has to say. Think of the time in recent past, say a couple of years ago, when we had to push and shove and were willing to pay any price for any shot down the arm... Oh, and don't let those bawling at the moon fool you.

Covid boosters, is that still a thing? I had 3 jabs, all in 2021, and I'd be prepared to call it a day with that!

I am sure you are still hearing of "covid" as a virus, whose current name is covid19.  Until one morning when we wake up and the whole world is abuzz with news of its total eradication, until then: Yes, it is still a thing.

False, according to new research published in the peer-reviewed Nature Cardiovascular Research journal, which draws attention to serious new health problems that have emerged worldwide since the launch of the Covid injection operation (the most prevalent being myocarditis), and which are anything but rare:

No its not false the statement by tallguyjohninbkk is correct:

"Your odds of some health issue are far greater from COVID the disease than anything relating to the vaccines"

 

From your own study you linked to:

 

"However, the rate of new POTS diagnoses made after vaccination was much less frequent the rate of new POTS diagnoses made after SARS-CoV-2 infection, indicating that excess risks remain higher after infection than after vaccination. This same general trend of proportionately higher rates of new diagnosis after infection compared to after vaccination was consistently seen for myocarditis, which we considered the benchmark condition, as well as for other more common diagnoses, which we considered the referent conditions."

Not sure your comprehending this, the studies proved that you less likely to get POTS diagnoses/myocarditis after a covid vaccination than getting Covid. That was their findings. The whole point of the studies to see which would be more prevalent. 

 

It can't be clearer than that.

And more from the findings of the same study:

 

"In summary, POTS-related diagnoses appear to be acquired with increased frequency after, compared to before, COVID-19 vaccination, particularly when compared to more commonly diagnosed conditions, but at a rate that is approximately five times lower than after SARS-CoV-2 infection. "

Those who demand for a perfect vaccine or perfect anything should find a perfect world and move in.

 

For the rest of us in the real world,  anyone of us can get run over by a car at any time, but that shouldn't stop mass transportation - is the motto for everyday living. And that goes for planes, trains and vaccines also,

post vaccination -- "a rate that is approximately five times lower than after SARS-CoV-2 infection." "

 

Also  worth keeping in mind...

 

COVID is still causing 300+ deaths per day and 3,000+ new COVID hospitalizations per day in the U.S.

 

And here in Thailand, according to the government, one COVID death per day and 17 new COVID hospitalizations per day...

 

Any COVID vaccination related hospitalizations and deaths, if any, pale in comparison.

 

Thailand:

 

"Following the weekly number of COVID-19 infected people.

Patients treating in hospital (weekly)

Number 122 people: Daily average. Number 17 people/day.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/covid-data/covidview/index.html

 

People in the U.S. who have received the new bivalent vaccine have almost a 10 times lower risk of dying from COVID compared to the unvaccinated.
