Thai COVID-19 vaccine acquisitions

"Chinese vaccine?"

Are there any existing pharma facilities within Thailand that have the capacity to manufacture the Oxford vaccine I wonder?

It's been reported several times that the Oxford project is a pro bono exercise, so licensing should not (in theory..) be an issue..

For to replicate Chinese vaccine you need just clean room and big tank (simplified, but in general you really need just bioreactor + sterile facility for to pack vaccine into vials). For to replicate Oxford you have to have gene engineering skills and equipment for it. then again bioreactor and clean facility.

Big plus of old fashioned vaccines is in their simplicity. Minus - for mutating viruses they are less effective and may have shorter protection. But fast start will give some gap in time for to deploy staff education and production of more complicated vector vaccines.

However test results from countries involved in Phase 3 testing only give it a passing grade - 62% efficacy

Speculations, tests results aren't published yet. Pfizer tries to push them from Brazil. In fact it is around 80%

In UAE, Egypt, Bahrain and Jordan Sinovac shows 86% https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020...cine-one-china

"It originates from bats or pangolins, from the demented belief that if you grind up the scales of a pangolin you will somehow become more potent or whatever it is people believe, it originates from this collision between mankind and the natural world and we've got to stop it."
Boris Johnson

Well said that man. An investigation lasting ten years has failed to yield any reason for this desire to consume every living creature.

I prefer his comment about women who want to dress like a letterbox.

Completely off topic now so mods do your duty. He's got the trade deal with the EU. One with the US will follow within 6 months as will Australia and New Zealand , Japan's sorted as are deals with another 60+ countries. So he and his government feel emboldened to tell China a few home truths.

Like him or loathe him he gets stuff done does Boris.
