Popular Post raccos21 Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 It's obvious that if someone's giving something for free then there's something wrong or fishy about it. It's too good to be true, because nothing is free in our world. Right! Those vaccines are available in the market now are really a cure for the symptoms, because as there are recent news in Malaysia saying that about 40 healthcare workers being tested positive even after both doses. So what do we expect if the product is made in China. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/asia/covid-19-malaysia-healthcare-workers-infected-after-vaccination-14640550 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farma Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 My Mrs was ok after her sinovac jab yesterday. She had a heavy arm for a couple of hours. Others in her work Facebook group weren't as lucky. Many reported flu like symptoms, others with high temps (they were told to expect raised temps). A couple of others reacted and had large red raised areas from the jab. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinovac says it has delivered some 200 million doses of its vaccine to more than 20 countries. The company estimates more than 100 million doses have been administered in vaccination campaigns around the world. https://www.fiercepharma.com/manufacturing/sinovac-hits-capacity-for-2b-covid-19-vaccine-doses-a-year-courtesy-third-production Two more people die and nine others suffer facial paralysis after taking vaccination shots in Hong Kong; city logs 10 new Covid-19 cases The latest deaths involved two chronically ill patients who took the China-made Sinovac jab. An 80-year-old woman who was vaccinated on March 2 died on Friday, while a 60-year-old man died on Wednesday after getting vaccinated on March 11.

Popular Post bluemoonpattaya Posted April 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 22, 2021 I have sent an e-mail to the British embassy in Bangkok 3 times, asking about where i can obtain a suitable vaccine for me. As a British passport holder i was hoping for some response. I'm sure i am not the only person to have sent an e-mail, and would have expected some formal response would have been drafted up. I looked on the embassy website where there is a video about this, but it is 8 weeks old and has not been updated. I have registered my name with Bangkok hospital, who will inform me when a vaccine becomes available. I was hoping for some guidance from the British embassy.

Nojohndoe Posted April 22, 2021 Share Posted April 22, 2021 23 minutes ago, Bangkok Barry said: Maybe no vaccine can be 100 percent effective, but I'd want a lot better than what Sinovac offers. From Wednesday's London Times: China's Sinovac vaccine, which is widely used in the developing world, offers little protection until after the second dose according to Chilean scientists. The jab was only 16 per cent effective in guarding against Covid-19 after one dose, rising to 67 per cent efficacy after the second dose, according to a study of 10.5 million people. And that is not the usual pointless 'poll' result we are usually fed after 300 people were asked. This is over 10 million who were checked. Again a persistence in negative reference to stats regarding one factor of a vaccine. The Chilean authorities are quite satisfied with outcome so far as of 16th April. "SANTIAGO (Reuters) -China's Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine was 67% effective in preventing symptomatic infection, data from a huge real-world study in Chile has shown, a potential boost for the jab which has come under scrutiny over its level of protection against the virus. The CoronaVac vaccine was 85% effective in preventing hospitalizations and 80% effective in preventing deaths, the Chilean government said in a report, adding that the data should prove a "game changer" from the vaccine more widely."

It is a risk balancing calculation. I'm betting medical insurance won't cover treatment for side effects of (voluntary) vaccination. But will cover treatment for catching the disease. So the vaccination will remove you from the 'insured' list and place you on the 'uninsured' list. But it might be worth having the shot in countries that provide free hospital treatment.

It's just not getting coverage. Interestingly very true. Perhaps because the vaccines getting negative attention are those that are or, in the case of the J&J, was to be supplied at near cost only in the interim interest of curtailing the pandemic. Invoking biased dubious suspicions inevitably give me cause to consider commercial interests in suppressing total relevant information. Also interesting is the lack of comment about the Russian Sputnik V vaccine which despite statistical high efficacy and currently in use in 50 countries and no sensationalist claims over adverse effects to date seems to be being politically snubbed. Cutting off the nose to spite the face methinks ! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
