The chances of having an adverse reaction to the vaccine are much less than having one to COVID. I'll take a sore arm and slight fever over being on a ventilator.
^ Heck yeah....an enormous probability of having long, drawn-out headaches, pains and all manner of odd long-lasting symptoms (not to mention a slight case of death), versus......a very very small possibility of having an adverse reaction to a vaccine.
But the anti-vaxers harp on about some poor girl who died and others who bad reaction to an HPV vaccine, meanwhile ignoring the thousands of women who once died from cervical cancer every year.
It's very unfortunate that science is not more exact and perfect, but it's all we have right now. Medicine is still rather primitive in many ways.
Spoke with a tuned in doctor friend at Srinagarind Hospital. She figures vaccinations will be widely available June 2021.
She is skeptical about the current planned vaccine's effectivness and it's distribution.
No immediate travel needs, so I will stick with toffee while waiting for v2 or better.
How can personal experience be erroneous?
I'll leave it there.
I've said my piece, and this subject is not the place for petty bickering.
looks like my wishful thinking that getting the vaccine would make quarantine free travel a possibility is down the tubes for thailand;
The Public Health Ministry issued a statement on Tuesday saying all arrivals to Thailand will have to undergo the mandatory 14-day quarantine even if they have been vaccinated.
Foreigners who have been vaccinated still need to quarantine
There are 195 countries in the world, don't expect Thai immigration to know what their covid vaccination certificate looks like.
Don't expect Thai immigration to be able to distinguish between a real one and a fake one.
This can only be solved by introducing a single worldwide accepted and tamper proof certificate.
Just had a covid test. I'm sure it's just manflu but will know in 24-72 hours.
Gonna be a quiet NYE.
^ Good luck!
It's amazing how far back those swab things go... I never realised my nostrils went back behind my eyeballs.
Well, sinuses.
I've had a relatively mild but very focussed headache above my right eye for over a decade.
I'd always assumed it was related to eyesight, which is noticeably worse in my right eye.
An optician suggested it might be a blocked sinus a year ago and that I should get it ... drained (I suppose that's what you do)
Then came COVID...
I've had a year to become convinced he was right.
Not least of which is having to get everyone's passport back to program the thing, and that's assuming it is a chipped passport in the first place.
The more feasible option is a certification in a secure app, which is why so many people are working on it.
(This is the point at which skidmark comes along pretending he knows what Blockchain is because he's seen Baldrick talk about it).
The International Air Transport Association (IATA) is working at such an app.
