Yes, I totally agree with hanging back. Thailand has no plan for dealing with the virus on a daily basis. Easy to shut the borders but the difficult part is living with the virus and keeping the economy up and running, even if not to full capacity. Having spent a lot of time in Thailand over the last 10 years, and wanting to return, I definitely have my reservations about any vaccine. I'm positive I'm not alone with my concerns. If Thailand is waiting for a vaccine to be their magical answer to the tourists returning then they may be in for a rude awakening.

As much as I respect this country it's not a front runner when it comes to research or academia in general. Governments everywhere struggle with this virus and the Thai government especially doesn't seem to have a good overview of the facts. Given how Thai culture works I also wouldn't want to be in any government advisor's shoes here. Betting on a vaccine is grasping at straws really. The Thai are in for a massive reality check next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of the South but having been to some of the islands at Christmas, and seeing how quiet they were, I can only imagine how they will look next year....let alone the prices.

Popular Post Mung Posted August 11, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) 2 hours ago, darksidedog said: Declaring that most countries can achieve something that no country managed for SARS or MERS seems premature. Putting a seriously optimistic timeline on it too. While I hope it turns out that way, or even one genuine vaccine arrives, I suspect it might be a bit longer than 6 months before there is enough to go around. The SARS vaccine didn't materialise because the virus itself fizzled out and thus there was no demand for it anymore. Several pharmaceutical companies blew a lot of money trying to rush and prepare a vaccine in time. There is no demand for it and so nobody is making it. There are no vaccines for things like HIV simply because it is a virus that mutates at a very rapid rate, and so a vaccine is rendered useless. COVID-19 is a slowly mutating virus due to its nature. Most coronaviruses have a trait that allows them to weed out mutations as they occur. Rather than relying on a single template genome, the enzyme responsible for copying the viruses' genetic material sometimes jumps around between multiple copies of the viral genome present in an infected cell. So each new genome is actually copied from several templates, reducing the chance that any given mutation will become entrenched in the viral population.The vaccines in production utilise manmade proteins that resemble the virus, tricking your body into thinking it is in fact COVID-19. They seem to work just fine, but of course nobody knows the long term health effects of them. The fact the vaccine is not a weakened version of the virus and just manmade proteins, means the vaccine will most likely be safe.

What a minute....what is this about a 'most counties' comment? Who could possibly trust a strange farang vaccine produced in strange farang places like the UK or Germany? The people of Thailand expect nothing but the best....and will wait for an effective, dependable, and reliable product. One manufactured right here in trusted Thailand....the hub of trusted medical solutions. Unless of course....China decides to test their budget version here. Then all bets are off and everyone needs to shut up and get in line. Edited August 11, 2020 by Hayduke 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its actually in stage 3 testing in 3 others countries (Middle East and Africa) as well as Russia at the moment. AstraZeneca is also testing in other countries as well. Russia's actually said that it would be free in Russia but licensed elsewhere. They will publish internationally the a scientific paper in the next few days to show their research to everyone. I have been surprised how many media outlets have ignored this (media bias?). Al jazzera and BBC carried big stories on it though.
