Last couple days...Chinese who had negative covid test 48 hours prior to boarding flights, arrived at Incheon Korea Airport....All passengers given on the spot covid test on arrival...up to 1/5th of all arriving Chinese tested POSITIVE...(to me this means, the vaccines the Chinese receive are no good, OR, the tests they give/take are not at all world class standard.....OR they come with phony test certificates.........something very wrong here..

...for the 1000th time...the vaccine (any/all) does NOT stop you from catching covid, its supposed to minimise the severity of the illness...stop you from getting really ill and possibly dying....ive been triple vaccinated and still caught covid twice and both times it was extremely mild...have had much worse flus.....hopefully this trend will continue as Im far too young and gorgeous to die...

...which is why possibly it should not be called a vaccine....

No one vaccine in world has ability to protect from to have virus. No one. Vaccines protecting from illness. If you will walk by street and somebody will cough on you - how vaccine may protect from viruses in air what will lay on your clothes, what you will inhale with air?
Purpose of vaccine is to train your body to kill viruses. They train and body will kill, but not immediately, within 1-2-3 and even 7 days. At these days you may feel slight cold symptoms, or feel nothing, but any test will show you have virus in your body. After any existing vaccine.
So, in real life if you meet group of people, where everyone is tested positive on COVID, but everyone feel good, that means they got very good vaccine.

My main point apparently was not understood...The covid testing the Chinese are giving are not as good as most other countries, otherwise so many would not be testing positive for Covid upon arrival, when they just had the test 48 hours earlier to board the flight..

For fast check airlines and airports uses "quick test" by sampling saliva and other liquids from nose and/or mouth. This test is like a lottery - if doctor will touch with probe stick zone with virus - then they will find it, if doctor will do just formal picking then result will be negative. 100% warranty has only blood test.

...and 48 hours is a long time, you may be infected at 8pm at your local group sex orgy party with 500 guys...get tested next morning and still show up as clean, it may take as long as 3 days before it shows up....so its a tool that may minimise risk but its onlty a mitigating factor...

Thailand has revoked an entry policy announced two days ago requiring visitors to show proof of a COVID-19 vaccination, its health minister said, citing sufficient immunisation levels in China and globally.
On Monday, Anutin Charnvirakul said checking evidence of vaccinations was inconvenient and a panel of health experts had agreed to withdraw the new rule, which was announced on Saturday by aviation authorities ahead of an expected deluge of visitors from China, where COVID cases have surged. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/...e-for-visitors
