^ I was offered Sinovac through my daughter's school a few weeks ago. I declined but a mate (who's son also goes to the school) took them up on the offer. He has now had his second Sinovac jab.
His reasoning was that the vaccination should at least keep him out of hospital if he catches Covid... he works from home and doesn't travel at all now (due to Covid) so generally lives a very secluded lifestyle. He can carry on working unimpeded.
I turned it down because I need a vaccine certified by Europe... all of my work is in Europe these days and I couldn't see the point of getting Sinovac when I'd probably need a 'European accepted' vaccine at some point to easy my travel for work. My life in Korat is generally locked down anyway, so also I could see no advantage of having a potentially low efficacy vaccine.
In many ways all I want is a vaccine passport to allow me freedom of travel for work, but also I'm 54, carry a couple of extra pounds and suffer from bouts of high blood pressure... potentially putting me in a high risk group if I'm being perfectly honest with myself.
Everyone's circumstances are different... and also this is all new. Sometimes I think maybe I should have got jabbed up with Sinovac... other times I'm glad I didn't.
As for normality creeping back Bogon... I'm starting to think that whatever you do that is an awfully long way off.
