only 3 months after 3rd vaccine ?  when we are starting daily vaccine ?

[Cabra]

It doesn't really seem Thai officials are following the global trends and news as it relates to the effectiveness of this current batch of vaccines, or the developments as it relates to omicron. I mean 4 doses! This is getting a bit silly. Why not work harder at getting to the unvaccinated

Soon I guess. Perhaps in the near future our arms will be permanently attached to a drip that administers vaccine all the time.

Replace "Fauci" with Anutin and you basically have the same premise.

Not quite correct - and if you've had 2 x Sinovac, you're third / booster dose of AZ / Pfizer may as well be your first.

Only if you think, as the anti-vaxxers seem to, that there are no medical developments and that we're still administering leeches because research and vaccine development and improvement doesn't happen.

You mean the 'doctor' who's got his doctorate in education not medicine?

But still claims to work part-time as a 'doctor', evidently doctoring his CV

It all depends on what you want to hear.  He's clearly an excellent teacher, which is his field so he should be, but his medical knowledge and training is minimal - considerably less than many here.

This will last me for a few weeks now.

Im not following COVID as closely these days (it's so 2021, I'm over it), but regarding "developed country issue" my impression was - last time I cared to check back in 2021 - that many developed nations had vaccine holdouts and refuseniks. For example, Israel's ultra-orthodox, etc. 

Has this changed? Are all developed nations at 90% adults double-vaxxed? If so that's great news.

I'll be glad to get rid of mine, damn racist thing that it is.

Do you know that everytime a foreign body is detected by the immune system, it tries to eliminate it.

The 'protection' protects others, not the wearer.

I'd try to explain it, again, but now that I see from the PM I was included on by mistake that you're simply acting as @BlueSphinx 's mouthpiece here there's little point.
