Ms. Rusomgai’s sudden ability became talk of the town among villagers, and many are curious how she managed to walk again.

While we’re trying to find the answer for this, the stated reason behind this miracle was beyond our expectations.


Thai village chief believes her recovery is a miracle from the Sinopharm vaccine


After Ms. Rusomgai received the second dose of the Sinopharm vaccine, she claimed to feel stronger and even had enough strength to move her legs.

She revealed that earlier, she was unable to walk due to a stroke which left her paralyzed from the waist-down for a year, according to Khaosod.

Although she’s not fully recovered from her physical disability, she encouraged others to get vaccinated, reported Ch3Plus.


Netizens think it’s impossible & she overreacted


While many netizens congratulated Ms. Rusomgai on her recovery from paralysis, some netizens disagreed and thought her recovery had nothing to do with the vaccine.

Translation: If it’s that good, she better tells other people with disabilities to hurry up and get the vaccination.

One netizen sarcastically commented that other disabled persons should rush out and get the vaccine.

Translation: She should gets vaccinated twice more. Perhaps she would be able to fly.

Another netizen satirically commented that she may be capable of flying if she gets more doses of the vaccine.

Putting the comments aside, we really hope that the woman will get her normal life back soon.


What doesn’t kill you (might) make you stronger


While we cannot tell whether her ability to walk again is because of the vaccine or not, at least we learnt that anything can happen if we dare to take a risk.

So, we encourage those who are afraid of side effects from Covid-19 vaccines to get vaccinated. Perhaps your may get healthier and stronger. Who knows?
