Surasak Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 IF our illustrious leader had anything about him as a leader, he would ensure all those in most need would be inoculated first. Instead, like all cowards he leads from the rear. The typical me first attitude of a dictator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The US is a case book example of a failure. As are many other countries. UK being one. Yes, the UK made mistakes, we all do. However, they have made up for it with their vaccination program. Not that that excuses the mistakes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimbo2014 Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2021 Im certainly going to follow the PMs example and avoid the Sinovac dumped on Thailand. I hope private hospitals will be allowed to have pay for vaccine soon. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, if we do a really great job on new vaccines, health care and reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 - 15 %.” Bill Gates Take closer look at the average human, Bill.

itsari Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 4 hours ago, Moonlover said: Thailand was placed 4th in the world for its handling of Covid 19 and when one considers that 6 of the top 10 are island nations with no pesky land borders, that is a very credible performance indeed. Of course the country is going to lag behind the developed countries in its vaccination program. It lacks the infrastructure and experience to come up with its own vaccine so it has no choice but to rely on others. But I'm very confident that once the programme gets rolling, it will be handled as professionally and efficiently as has the irradiation programme been to date. And here of course, with so few cases, there isn't the urgency anyway. They can take their time and do it right. I am currently living in rural Thailand, a place which I regard as just about the safest place to be in the world right now. I agree with you that Thailand has been relatively free , how ever with the suspicion that the corona virus 19 has started from Thailand , i my self needs to be thoughtful .

FNQ Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 6 hours ago, rooster59 said: Ready for your COVID-19 jab? Thailand’s inoculation plan explained Thailand’s COVID-19 inoculation programme will likely kick off on Sunday, with top government figures receiving the first jabs to boost public confidence. The vaccine brings hope that the country’s year-long virus nightmare may soon be over. If the vaccine rollout proves a success, the government will regain public faith, the economy will rebound, and life will finally – albeit slowly – get back to normal. Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha is due to be the first person in Thailand to get a COVID-19 shot, with Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul next in queue. They will receive their jabs at Nonthaburi’s Bamrasnadura Infectious Disease Institute, which has laid down a model vaccination procedure for other medical facilities to adopt.

An inoculation is when some organism is introduced in human body to protect you against the diseases and to produce immunity. Vaccination is the process in which weak agents of a disease are inserted in human body to protect it against that specific disease while immunization is a process in which the immune system is fortified against and agent.

What is the point of 'being thoughtful' about something that, even if true, will probably never be proved. And again even if true, what difference does it make to the current situation? It has long been speculated, including by myself, that Thailand had its 1st wave before the Coronavirus had been officially announced, brought here by Chinese visitors. Once again, even if true, what difference does it make to the current situation? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post rken2 Posted February 27, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2021 The so called vaccine is not even a vaccine. A new experimental therapy is not a vaccine. Be glad it is being rolled out slowly. perhaps it will allow thailand to stop its roll out before it has done to much damage. I hope so. 2 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a subtle difference , but to most non medical people the words can be interchangeable! Today, the two words often refer to any injection made against any disease. If there's any difference in usage, "vaccination" refers to preventative injections, like childhood dip/tet shots, while "inoculation" refers both to preventative shots and also to treatments subsequent to infection, for example snake-bite anti-toxin.

MrMo Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 The headline editor responsible for the headline of this article should be fired, instantly. Otherwise the credibility of Thaivisa (which has fallen downwards in my opinion) and its parent, "The Nation", will fall to even lower depths. Where is the the "plan explained" ? "Plan" is a word for which the Thai language has no rational meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
