District chief in Chaiyaphum tests positive for Covid despite receiving 2 doses of AstraZeneca

[Thaiger]

The chief of the Nong Bua Ra We district in the northeastern Thai province of Chaiyaphum has tested positive for Covid. The chief has previously had 2 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine, says the provincial communicable disease committee for Chaiyaphum, today. District chief Tinpol Chalermvasutha has travelled to “many places” and participated in “many activities” with other officials from August 9 to August 13, according to Thai media. They did not provide more specific details on where any of the “many places” were… Tinpol tested positive on Saturday with the results confirmed yesterday. He has been admitted to the Chaiyaphum […]

Surely people realise that testing +ve has nothing to do with being vaccinated.  This kind of report is misleading.

[gummy]

By the way the headlines are written it is if to say because he had had 2 doses it was surprising he caught covid. In my view that is misleading because after all this time surely don't people know that being fully vaccinated (lucky him by the way) does not stop you catching it, it just ensures, or should that the symptoms are mild and non life threatening

[vlad]

Yes just scaremongering and misleading information which is supposed to be banned. Everyone knows even vaccinated with A/Z you can still be infected. 

[Disenfranchised]

So what?

Being vaccinated by any of the available products does not mean you cannot be infected. All it means (touch wood) is that you will not get more than sniffles rather than a ventilator or coffin.

Irresponsible reporting Tim!

[Maverick]

Unhelpful and mischievous reporting from Thaiger , this type of reporting merely emboldens the anti- vaxers and other nut jobs that will keep us locked up forever , part of the reason Australia is now in such a mess. The media has a lot to answer for over the past 18 months , from scaremongering to this type of nonsense 

[BBY]

This is such a sensationalising and Fear mongering headline.

None of the current vaccines will prevent you from becoming infected and I believe it’s pretty unlikely that we  will see one in the future that does.

it should be clearly explained to the population in a simple way, that it’s not until you actually get infected that the vaccine, with what it has assisted your body to create, does it’s job and protects you from becoming seriously ill.

That’s why despite the thousands of positive results we are seeing in countries that have high numbers of  a double jabbed population, we do not have overflowing hospitals or ICU’s as in previous waves. Although there is something unexpected happening in Israel at the moment. 

Why has he gone to hospital, is he really that sick. If not, then he should only need to be isolated.

[Malc-Thai]

Just out if interest, when did he have his second vaccine? Thailand is great at giving you your first vaccine 2 days ago and then  counts you as vaccinated!  No point in adding what everyone else had said

How? They’re just reporting how one person who received both doses of AZ got infected and warning people who were in contact with him to get tested or go in quarantine

What’s really dangerous is when you have a political figure boast that if you’re vaccinated you don’t have to wear a mask and you can go back to your normal pre-chyna virus life. Implying that the vaccines prevent transmission when it doesn’t. 
 

not to mention there’s no scaremongering at all in this piece

An excellent post that more than helps clarify a number of key points. And your second post too . . . sorry I missed your debut post, the other day.

Why are Hospital's in the west seeing low Covid infections 9s since those Country's began double dosing there people.

[Graham]

Very unhelpful article, everyone knows that you can still get Covid even after being vaccinated.

I have a work colleague had 2 vaccinations then caught Covid, he had 2 weeks of feeling like sh** and staying in his room, got 2 PCR tests both negative, all done and back to normal.

i dunno how many times it should be said, maybe someone should develop a click app for that, looks like this approach works in Thailand

Deal with it, you Millennial! "This should be banned, he said hurty words! Hurty untrue words! Mommy! Hurty untruewords!". Did the pink lardie woke "fact-checker", with a degree in gender studies and CRT, from Salon or HuffPost say it was all "UNTRUE!"?

Your generation is a bunch of pampered mental toddlers, f***ing A! Always cancelling and banning like a bunch of lord of flies kids.

"Everyone knows"...last time I checked it was all about herd immunity but now supposedly "Everybody knows" it is not. HA! Soon "Everybody knows" you have to get the 5th shot. You have to be vaccinated because the vaccinated could get sick from the virus they were vaccinated against. WTF is that?! 

You guys swallow all the BS like good little obedient peasants. North Korea would love your kinds of naive fools. Model citizens for them!

Why is this Jack Arthur and the people who write the healines still employed by the Thaiger. Every one of their writings and headlines are trash.

Which part was trash? He did not do two AZs or did not test positive? Was not a jab guy, was a fake jab guy? Or faked his own test? Wow, the mystery deepens. A fake jab guy faked his own test to make AZ pumpers look bad!

[Morpheus]

Sensational BS headlines to make people fear Astra Zenic. People who have been vaccinated with any vaccine can still be infected and carry the covid 19 virus.

Low on meds ?

[Rick]

Vaccine does not work..... 

[Fester]

Chalermvasutha has travelled to “many places” and participated in “many activities”.

Might be interesting to know why, where, with whom, how many times. Perhaps over confidence in AZ efficacy or just simply putting it through rigorous testing? Whatever, probably muck more activity than appropriate at the moment.

Sounds like a bit of a lad.
