Covid19 in Thailand

[CO-CO]

I drove into the racetrack parking lot this Tuesday morning. It seemed orderly. The sign translation I received was "please show appointment paper". When the Buriram Government hospital was phoned this morning, I am told that first shot patients must book in advance via "village health volunteers" known as Ao Sor Mor.  Mr. Phi Chai receives his 2nd covid 19 vaccination on Thursday. I've run into a customer today who had already received his 2nd vaccination in Buriram. If I get real info on when Moderna or John & Johnson are really available in Buriram I will post. Be Safe, Mr. Bob.

Good news!  The vaccine you received on June 1st was approved by WHO for emergency use on June 2nd.  You should be ok.

There was never any doubt about that.


Looks like Pfizer is one to avoid.

I believe, based on messages from two friends, in Satuk, that the AstraZeneca Covid 19 vaccination is in wide distribution and readily available at Government hospitals as of today. This morning in the Satuk Government hospital two friends, and their respective wives, waited a very short time to receive their first shot of AstraZeneca. I am told that both expats booked in advance via "village health volunteers" known as Ao Sor Mor. I went to that hospital for a different medical reason on Sunday afternoon and I also asked about Covid 19 vaccinations., They directed me to a small building with signs to the left of the Satuk main hospital to obtain more information for the vaccination process in the city of Satuk.  FYI, both of my friends are over the age of 50, yet both of their respective Thai wives, look to me to be under the age of 50.  Thank you.  Mr. Bob in Satuk.

I have just found out that one of our family, who lives in Prakonchai, has been told that the teachers at her school have received the Astra Zeneca jabs today.

EU drugs regulator lists another rare blood condition as possible AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine side effect
The European Medicines Agency?s (EMA) safety committee has added another rare blood condition to the potential side effects of AstraZeneca?s vaccine, as the UK regulator weighs precautionary advice over capillary leak syndrome.

More bias from Tassie. Not telling the whole story.

Here is a quote from an article about the latest developments : "MHRA Chief Executive June Raine said that two of eight reports of capillary leak syndrome following AstraZeneca vaccination were in people with a history of the condition, and 40 million doses of the vaccine had been given.

"The incidence of these reports is lower than the number of cases expected to occur by chance in the absence of vaccination of this extremely rare condition and the current evidence does not suggest that capillary leak syndrome is caused by the COVID-19 Vaccine AstraZeneca," she said.

No bias.

I have not ignored the research. In fact I quoted it.

You do understand that "research" is hugely supportive of vaccines, don't you ?


Let's try this research summary from WHO:-

Vaccines save millions of lives each year. Vaccines work by training and preparing the body?s natural defences ? the immune system ? to recognize and fight off the viruses and bacteria they target. After vaccination, if the body is later exposed to those disease-causing germs, the body is immediately ready to destroy them, preventing illness.

There are several safe and effective vaccines that prevent people from getting seriously ill or dying from COVID-19. This is one part of managing COVID-19, in addition to the main preventive measures of staying at least 1 metre away from others, covering a cough or sneeze in your elbow, frequently cleaning your hands, wearing a mask and avoiding poorly ventilated rooms or opening a window.

As of 3 June 2021, WHO has evaluated that the following vaccines against COVID-19 have met the necessary criteria for safety and efficacy:

AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine
Johnson and Johnson
Moderna
Pfizer/BionTech
Sinopharm
Sinovac

I have had my two doses of Astra Zeneca. I, like many people I know who have also had it, have had no side effects.

To be honest, there has hardly been any bad press here in UK regarding any of the major Covid19 vaccines.

I had more than the weekly recommended amount of alcohol last night alone. Statistically putting myself at more risk of health problems than having a Covid19 vaccine. Am I going to stop drinking? Not likely.

WHO very quietly removed the statement that you can get Covid from surfaces. (I think it was one chance in 10 000 or something).
So hand sanitisers are just symbols of something being done.

Last time I looked there were 27 scientific studies showing that masks are of little use in protecting yourself. How come I can smell a x through the mask? OP doctors and nurses will tell you that they wear masks to avoid being spattered with blood and stuff. If you have Covid without realising it, the air you breathe in will eventually escape through the mask.
The only reason I can think of to want to be vaccinated would be when I want to travel. Maybe immigration will insist at some point.

I think you will slot in quite easily Chuck

So, what are you actually scared of ?

Pardon? Scared of what, where?
Universal vaccines aren't necessary amd may be more dangerous than covid. Masks are an unnecessary imposition.

Bullshit!


The 50% increase in numbers at the crematorium I own was down to Covid - and not a single one down to any vaccine.
