Popular Post webfact Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 By Pear Maneechote Influential star Araya “Chompoo” A. Hargate was going viral again Tuesday, this time for sharing her experience of receiving the government-approved Sinovac vaccine. Prompted by fans, Araya’s review came amid countrywide doubts and conspiracies regarding the vaccine against the Covid-19 virus produced by Beijing-based biopharmaceutical Sinovac, and as the country is facing its third wave of the coronavirus pandemic. Many Thais have sworn off the Sinovac jab and vowed to wait for the arrival of other vaccines, such as Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca, or Johnson & Johnson. However, experts, doctors, and health professionals have encouraged citizens to get whatever inoculation is available and confirmed their safety, stressing that getting immunized is the only means for the country to get out of this pandemic.

Popular Post tingtong Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 She got one thing right ( mostly): any vaccine is better than non. Unfortunately the any in the moment mostly mean a mediocre Chinese one. I am with the camp suspecting this "star" had made a deal, and do what influencers do: sell herself for someone who pays for her to post. Rarely if ever will get a honest review from a paid influencer. 14 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Well, objectively, it is better than nothing. Imagine if it was the only Covid-19 vaccine in the world. But it isn't. The dilemma many people are going to face, Thais and expats, is whether to accept the Sinovac earlier to get protection earlier or wait and hope that there will be access to another brand option later. I guess each person that feels they really have a choice in this is going to have to make that decision for themselves. In other word, effectiveness matters, but so does access and timing.

Popular Post faraday Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 How much did you get paid, love? Of course we all have a lot of confidence in the AZ vaccine, because ( all bow????) 'our illustrious leader' has had a jab. Na...????? As JonnyF mentions, they gotta be desparate to get celebs involved. Btw, looks as if the injectee is using a 5ml syringe...???? 8 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Jingthing Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) Having celebrities help promote people getting vaccines is quite normal in the face of massive vaccine hesitancy. From a societal POV it's very desirable for as many people in Thailand to be vaccinated with any Covid-19 vaccine that is available ASAP, but from an individual POV it's also normal for people to decide that they have a brand preference (for good reasons or not). It's arguably too much of an ask given global supply and demand to expect Thailand or really any government to necessarily be offering brand choices. Something for people to hope for but not very reasonable to always expect. Edited May 18, 2021 by Jingthing 6 2 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's arguably too much of an ask given global supply and demand to expect Thailand or really any government to necessarily be offering brand choices. Something for people to hope for but not very reasonable to always expect. Thailand should have ordered a whole host of brands months ago, like the UK did. But no, they wanted to feign support for their Sino masters and line pockets in the process. It's bad enough having to take a rushed through vaccine at all, but being coerced to take the least effective one from the country that created this whole mess is a little rich. The government is starting to panic that the serfs won't roll over and take whatever they are told to take. Because if they don't, things could unravel quite quickly. Millions of doses of Sinovac on the shelf and Thailand left behind as the world recovers. Not a good look. Hence rolling out the cute girl with the needle in her arm. I'm surprised they didnt have a row of suits pointing at her in the background. 16 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post clivebaxter Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 My only concern with it is why it was not usable for the over 60's but now is, what changed there? The PM would not have it and waited for AZ, but he expects the rest of us to do differently. 6 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
