One ม.1 student we spoke with said she like online learning as there are no disruptions during class. The DB student we know liked yesterday's session because it didn't include the usual hour spent running ragged out in the school yard.

A relative of Covid-19 introduced itself to me this morning. I received a shot of the Jenssen vaccine from Johnson&Johnson in Udon Thani at the Bangkok hospital. Smooth process, very pleasant staff and nice environment. It all went well, the nurse had a good hand and after thirty minute, I received a vaccination certificate both in Thai and American for immigration. The coffee and fresh butter croissants were extra but well received. Kudos to the diplomat trailblazer, the French ambassador! Allez les bleus !

Nothing would please me more than to send kudos to my embassy for a similar initiative but, alas, it will never happen.
Hope this alleviates some of the pain of yesterday's disappointment!

The Janssen vaccine developed in the Netherlands with help from the US tax payer.

Then show us the "original papers"
"Just that at the moment there may be no need" You said "Currently there is no information for or against a booster." So make up your mind no information, or no need

Where are the origial papers ??????

Why should I do research for you?

You clearly feel that you can just rely on “news” reporting.

You also can’t be bothered to read.

There is no data showing that a 3 shot is needed or of benefit with the big 3 today. More data may become available at any time that gives a different answer.

Different vaccines have a different safety profile, they may need a booster.

There are mutations that occur from time to time, they may require an altered vaccine

Result! Well done.

Pity about the missed penalty though.

But why would Oxford research to find proof of another Covid medicine being helpful.
They do make money by being the Oxford Astra Zeneca developer.

"On Monday (June 21), the French Ambassador to Thailand, Thierry Mathou announced that the French Embassy has partnered with private hospitals in Bangkok, Pattaya, Hua Hin, Ko Samui, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Khon Kaen, and Udon Thani to provide free vaccinations to some French nationals living in Thailand."
So in a week's time the French Ambassador did what the US Charge d'affaires said the US Embassy was unable to do.

You dont have to do the research for me as you said "You should really read the original papers." THat would indicate you have read them and have them

Random capitalization and no punctuation would suggest someone else needs to give the keyboard a break.

BTW, haven't you got a thread somewhere that needs copy/pasting?

Meanwhile, the UK gutter press seems to be dwelling on the dipshittery of some Brits in Bangkok.

14 Brits are arrested for flouting Covid-19 rules with 2am lock-in at a Thai red district bar:

Tourist moans 'What else are we supposed to do? I don't want to watch telly'

'Someone needs to help the economy. I'll be more careful now because if we step out of line we'll be doing bird in the Bangkok Hilton.'

Sounds like a quality 'tourist', no?

There is a trial by the Oxford researchers in conjunction with AstraZeneca that is focusing on Modified vaccine it’s effects against the Beta variant.

This doesn’t suggest that a modified vaccine IS required, it is testing if a modified vaccine is as easy to produce as suspected and how much improved protection is provided.

"The U.S. Department of State is unable to provide vaccines to the millions of Americans who reside outside of the United States."
State said unable. However the French Ambassador did what the US was unable to do quite easily. I suggest we fire Blinken and subcontract our affairs to the French Ambassador.

A few leftovers vaccines, yeah right

21 duped out of B36,000 for 'fake' vaccines
Bangkok Post
01/07/2021

A woman has filed a complaint with police against a man she claims duped her and others into buying a non-existent Sinopharm vaccine in Udon Thani.
The woman, identified only as Perm, lodged a complaint at Muang district police station yesterday.
She told investigators she and 21 friends had been lured by Weerasak Suksamdaeng to buy the Sinopharm vaccine. Ms Perm said she had learned from a friend that Mr Weerasak had secured some "leftover" quota of Sinopharm from the Federation of Thai Industries which bought the vaccine from the Chulabhorn Royal Academy.
Mr Weerasak said the man was charging 1,800 baht per dose. She and others transferred a combined 36,000 baht to Mr Weerasak through some friends.
After that, Ms Perm said she and other people who bought the vaccine were invited to a group chat line called Sinopharm Vaccine which was managed by a doctor called Sithichoke.
The chat line was linked to the website of the CRA to make it look reputable. It also provided vaccination guidelines and was hooked up with another group chat line called "Alternative IT for Hospital" which purports to have more than 1,300 members.
Ms Perm said she began to suspect fraud when jabbing appointments kept being postponed. The people who booked the vaccination in Bangkok on June 26 were told they would get the shots two days later. "Dr Sithichoke" said in the group chat line the jabs were deferred because of technical glitches.
On June 28, some of her friends went for the inoculation in Bangkok according to their appointment.
However, they were turned away after finding out they were not among the people scheduled for vaccination that day.
The hospital where he claimed to have worked insisted no doctor by that name was employed there. Dr Sithichoke then left the group chat line.
