4 Oct. 2022- Prof. Dr. Yong Phuworawan, Head of the Center specializing in Clinical Virology Department of Pediatrics Faculty of Medicine Chulalongkorn University Private Facebook post Yong Poovorawan titled “Covid 19, take off lessons from Covid 19 in a total period of 3 years”
Lessons will be taken for future benefit in Thai society.
When a new disease emerges affecting health body and life especially about viruses and still no medicine Vaccines used to treat and prevent
At first there was a panic. and fear It’s normal because of ignorance.
1 Principles of viral epidemic the more severe the disease Epidemics are narrow, such as Ebola, will not spread around the world, mild or less severe, can spread further, such as influenza, SARS, much more severe than covid-19, with a high mortality rate of up to 10% to almost epidemic. 20 countries can be controlled Because patients with severe symptoms are less likely to spread to others.
2 Covid 19 in the early stages seems to have a lot of symptoms. But when the outbreak spreads widely According to the principles of virus evolution must adapt to live together with the local or the host Likewise, today’s covid 19 is trying to adapt and not go away. and will always be with us by reducing the destruction of the host Now it’s similar to the flu.
3 In the early stages, when not knowing anything Everyone has to build knowledge with research studies as soon as possible not by faith And only research that is suitable for our home will be the most beneficial.
4 Preventing the spread of disease in Thailand is much better than the West. whether it is hygiene, hand washing setting distance wearing a mask It can greatly reduce the spread in the early stages.
5 Everyone Claims Vaccines I think the vaccine will be the way to end it. Pre-paid vaccines have been reserved without sightings. If many things are good and will have to pay money even if they don’t have the Fortunately, Thailand does not hold such a reservation. Then we will lose a lot of money.
6 All vaccines developed and used by the World Health Organization. The results are not different at all. Whether it is inactivated vaccine, virus vector or mRNA, nearly half of the world’s population is vaccinated with lethal vaccines worldwide. While countries that have injected mRNA vaccines, such as the United States and the West, have even higher mortality rates. It shows that the prevention of disease does not depend on the vaccine.
7In the first phase of the vaccine shortage Alternate or cross-formula vaccination is one method that has been used in the past, whether vaccination in children. So we always inject different companies. But there are heavy criticisms. Until finally it is accepted all over the world. that the inactivated inactivated vaccine and stimulated with different vaccines The result of immunity will be a hybrid. And it is useful to prevent as well. Research studies out of Thailand, the fever formula is accepted around the world. And the World Health Organization went to write a recommendation.
8 efficacy in disease prevention It depends on the number of vaccine doses. It does not depend on the type of vaccine. complete vaccination This means that it must be given at least 3 times, and in the high-risk group, it will need at least 4 times to be called full vaccination.
9 No matter how many doses of vaccination you have received It can still be infected. but the violence has decreased until finally everyone accepted the truth. And until now, it is understood that up to 70 percent of the Thai population has been infected with vaccination. The majority of the population is immune to a hybrid. That is considered the best immunity. to reduce the severity of subsequent infections
10 We have invested a lot in purchasing vaccines and now believe that there are a lot of remaining and about to expire vaccines that are all our tax budget. We urge everyone to receive at least 3 or 4 doses of the vaccine in high-risk groups. The goal has not yet been achieved, but there are still many vaccines left.
11 There has been a lot of bullying in Thai society, causing many scholars to fear and dare not speak up. which is a great detriment to the nation alleging things that are not true or not correct It’s something that shouldn’t be done. We have to differentiate between real news and fake news. and should not be shared and taken out of the fake
12 Information of Thailand From various academics, most of them will read and catch some issues that interest themselves to publish them as news. even though the truth is not caused by my own research including not being an expert in that science To provide information causing confusion to the public a lot.
13 Thailand should support research studies on emerging diseases. For example, Covid 19, we invest hundreds of billions. In some cases, if we only spend 1 percent to do research, answer the question clearly whether it’s worth it or not. It will be much more beneficial and save money. especially the issue of emerging medicines
14 Vaccine Development in Thailand The capacity of researchers is limited. and in very small quantities should cooperate do one more than different people We don’t have money problems. There is no problem with the tools. But we still need to improve the standards. especially the laboratory such as immunity test Must meet GLP standards. Clinical studies in Thailand are already capable of conducting research studies, not to foreign countries. but at the factory level And laboratories still need to improve standards. Otherwise, it will not be able to produce and sell to foreign countries at all. The research community is limited. should face each other Consider choosing one or the other rather than being different.
15 We have been through to this day. Everyone joins forces In reducing the spread of the disease in the early stages we do not know anything yet. and we believe Now we can live with covid-19 as well as influenza. which this disease has not disappeared We have vaccines to reduce the severity of the disease. We have better drugs to treat. Life must go on And what I really want is that the Thai society It is a society that is rich in wisdom rather than speaking evil of each other.
