Don Chance Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Quote Hundreds of thousands of people have been given two Chinese COVID-19 vaccine candidates as part of an emergency program, without a single case of infection or adverse effects, a senior official of a state-owned vaccine developer has said. The two vaccines, developed by China National Biotec Group (CNBG), are expected to enter the market as soon as this December, and two shots will cost less than 1,000 yuan (about 146 U.S. dollars), said Zhou Song, the company's general legal counsel. https://news.cgtn.com/news/2020-09-11/Hundreds-of-thousands-have-been-given-Chinese-COVID-19-vaccines-THnoo6BcFG/index.html I'll bet Thailand will get the vaccine before western countries. Maybe arrive, get tested then get the vaccine shot and quarantine for only 7 days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selatan Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 The Thai government should negotiate with China to get some of these experimental vaccines and then offer anyone any special visa to enter Thailand if they are willing to be injected with these vaccines at their embassies around the world. No need for any quarantine or charter flights. Just pay for the vaccines and a special visa. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post RichardColeman Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 Great plan. Create a virus, infect some of your own people, export the disease, destroy the world's economies other than your own, make countries shut down and then offer them a cure to rescue themselves at a high price - you know they wont give us the cure for free like their plague. Course, I could just be cynical thinking the ones that created it are making the most of it 4 2 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess in the end they'll require a proof of vaccination with an approved vaccine, but this is months away at best. However if the vaccines are generally available in China in the coming months, the Thais can open the border for vaccinated Chinese, which would be good for the tourism. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be much better to covertly spread the virus in another country and blame that country later, not to infect its own citizens and lock down its own country first . Looks like the virus easily can survive long haul flights, and can be transported in the check-in baggage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gearbox Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 "I'll bet Thailand will get the vaccine before western countries.

And some vaccines require 2 shots, so only 7 days quarantine may not be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might get vaccination for their own population. 1.6 billion vaccines will take years to manufacture, i think. Then again for $150 they will probably offer it on alibaba.

edwardandtubs Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Here's the thing. The Chinese are going to have the first vaccine because they had a headstart and they're using the traditional method of taking a 'live' virus and inactivating it. But the problem is doing it that way makes it extremely difficult to mass produce. Western scientists, on the other hand, are using state-of-the-art methods to create a vaccine that will be easier to mass produce so it may be ready a few months later but more people in the world will end up getting it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying a bat virus came from a market next door to a bat virus research centre is a great double bluff. I mean who would believe the Chinese would spread a bat virus from a market near the bat research centre and not abroad as you say ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post oompie69 Posted September 20, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2020 Hundreds of thousands have been given Chinese COVID-19 vaccines without a single infection By Don Chance, 2 hours ago in COVID-19: Coronavirus forum "Tens of thousands of people vaccinated have traveled to countries and regions with high risks of COVID-19. No one has been infected so far, and this proved the effectiveness of the vaccines," Zhou said. This proves nothing at all. Millions of people live in high-risk countries without becoming infected by the virus. Test it scientifically by attempting to infect already inoculated subjects and publish the results, then it could be considered to be effective. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Now consider this, vaccines are coming one way or another, there will be little chance of dodging that. Now, what happens when different countries enrich different manufacturers and use different vaccines? It may be that regardless of what vaccine your country uses another country will require you to get theirs before entry. Lets see how those cocktails affect people health. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Thailand will announce soon that people who have had the vaccine (with proof) are allowed into Thailand without quarantine. Which will mean a flood of Chinese tourists. The next step will be that tourists would fly to a city in China, then get the vaccine. They won't need quarantine because locals will have been vaccinated already. So after 7 days, they will be allowed to continue on to Thailand or other countries that allow vaccinated travelers to enter. Assuming of course that the vaccine is over 70 effective.

Yes, I agree that the general availability of an approved vaccine for ordinary Chinese citizens may be at least 4 months from now (expected November approval, production, vaccination period etc.) Not sure if Thailand could afford to wait at least until February next year to welcome the first batch of vaccinated Chinese tourists, so some kind of a temporary plan must be implemented. I doubt China would allow its citizens to go visit Thailand this year because China has switched mode to concentrate more on boosting internal consumption.

Vaccination tourism would be great. Have a small beautiful city such as Guilin fully vaccinated and then accept foreign tourists that are willing to go for vaccination to enter but prohibited to leave the city unless flying out of the country. I'm willing to go on such a tour instead of waiting up to two years to get vaccinated. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4MyEgo Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, they have shut the world down for a virus that kills predominantly the elderly, yet over 90% of those who get infected show no symptoms or very little symptoms, and yet a recent worldwide study on Hydroxychloroquine showed that if given in the early stages it had a 73.9% success rate, yet we only here of vaccines, vaccines, vaccines, guess there is a hell of a lot more money in vaccines to be made than Hydroxy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But having checked, I don't think the vaccines in development are expected to prevent infection, but rather to avoid the virus causing illness, and effectiveness for the flu vaccine ranges from 50-80%. I think any claim, if there was one, has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
