    They have a special thread for nonsense like yours. You'll find it there.

    Not sure how it is meant, positive or negative for me? Just yesterday I was rebuked when I expressed something about The Guardian. Now, they are in category of respected MSM, aren't they? After they dared to publicise some WikiLeak's leaks years ago, they have changed their tone and they are no longer the "leftists" as before.

    Would they now publicise something about Bush family's bank connections as they did before? And it was also here shown few years back...

    Not had one of these texts from my doctors clinic before...

    We are under significant pressure, due to clinical staff being unwell and clinical staff/self-isolating. We have tried all available alternatives to increase clinical capacity without success. We have never experienced this level of sickness & are doing our very best to continue to look after you as well as our staff. For non-urgent requests please can we ask that you consider carefully if your request can wait. Wherever possible & appropriate remember to use self-care & your local pharmacy to deal with minor illness. Thank you.
    Shalom

    My reply was addressed to Klondike. His opinions do not need a biased media report to tell him what to think, because his opinions and English usage are already quite frail.
    He seems to have acquired a unique ability to misunderstand anything written in English.

    No, but I think August. They are taking registrations until Friday I believe. They will send me an SMS with my appointment and payment instructions.

    Well if you don't have to pay until you get an appointment that is somewhat of an improvement.

    Providing they can't just postpone the appointment once they've got your cash of course.

    The will issue appointments as soon as they take stock of the vaccines.

    The system opened at 10am and basically crashed due to traffic. I was doing nothing at work so just kept hitting refresh while watching netflix and I got through after 2 hours with queue number 16,6XX, whereas a mate registered at 4pm with number 92XXX. No idea what their limit is.
    Lang may yer lum reek...

    I guess it is not more than in Samui where they will get a few thousand doses..
    I registered quite early and would have got an SMS the same day if I won the lottery which I obviously didn't.

    I'm not really fussed, but I'd rather get a premium one before I'm forced into the chinese shite.

    COVIRAN vaccine beats Delta variant

    July 18, 2021 - 16:54

    "COVIRAN BAREKAT coronavirus vaccine proved effective against Indian strain, Hojjat Niki-Maleki head of the information center of Headquarters for Executing the Order of the Imam twitted on Saturday.

    COVIRAN BAREKAT, the first coronavirus vaccine made by researchers at the Headquarters for Executing the Order of the Imam, was unveiled on December 29, 2020, and received the license for public use on June 14.

    “The efficacy of the vaccine on the delta mutant in the neutralization test (cVNT) was evaluated and it found that those who received the vaccine had an effective antibody against the Indian variant,” he wrote, quoting Mohammad Reza Salehi, supervisor of the COVIRAN vaccine clinical trial.

    Earlier this week, Alireza Biglari, head of the Pasteur Institute, announced that the Pastu Covac coronavirus vaccine, developed by the Pasteur Institute of Iran, fights very well against new variants of South Africa and India, and in other words, neutralizes them.

    The AstraZeneca vaccine, for example, is normally about 70 percent effective, but against the South African strain it drops to 10 percent, but the Pastu Covac can provide up to 62 percent protection against these strains, he explained.

    Mass vaccination against COVID-19 started on Iranian citizens with the Russian-made Sputnik V vaccine on February 9.


    While Iran continues efforts to mass-produce local candidates, 13 million doses of foreign vaccines have already been imported and others are expected soon.

    Iran is also producing vaccines jointly with two countries Russia, and Australia, which may also be released by September."

    Why that's terrific news Hoohoo. Let's not look for any pesky peer-reviewed data and get it shipped out to your Hizbollah and Alawite chums ASAP!

    I'd trust a Iranian concoction before a Commie one any day. Actually Iran has really good science.

    That closing sentence in the article isn't too encouraging:

    Dr Chalerm said his group had already planned to order 5-10 million doses of the second generation of the vaccine, expected to be out in the second quarter of next year.

    The registration process made it clear that it was available to International customers only, so there should be plenty to go around.

    I wish you well Dirk. Let us know how it works out.
    If there is plenty, I'll join the queue.

    If you can get to Hat Yai... Songkhla is a dark red zone. But you can probably register at your local Bangkok Hospital. You can only register online. Nothing to lose, nothing paid up front.

    Thanks, I'll have another look. The gf spoke to Bangkok Hospital in Udon Thani and registered an interest way back when they first announced that they would get some vaccine. They took names. I think the gf was expecting them to contact her. Apparently not.
