According to a Phuket news story. The island has 76% of its population  vaccinated ! Isn’t that the number or very close to the number needed for herd immunity and yet crucial numbers such as  hospital bed occupancy is suspect !

Here’s a bold prediction herd immunity in Thailand, isn’t the answer to eradicate the poison from China ,as long as migrants ,soft borders and Govt  inept contingencies continue to exist imop

My bed is usually 0% occupied or 100% occupied. Haven't tried 80% yet is that with your legs hanging off the edge?

They said they needed to vaccinate 466k.  they only got to just over the 420k 1st jab and only around 360k 2nd jab..  so nowhere near the so called herd immunity.. they are also rolling out now astrazenica booster jabs for double jabbed with sinovac..
