Astrazeneca works against the Delta Variant if mixed with a Moderna or

Pfizer vaccine as the 2nd  shot.

This ALL could have been easily avoided had the " Powers that Be "

focused on buying proper vaccines last year, rather than looking for the

easy way out.

Since arriving Foreigners  have already been vaccinated , what is the point of

a Command Center ?

Better the Thais set up a Command Center to ensure expats actually living

in Thailand can get vaccinated.  At the moment that is nearly impossible.

Amazing - ALL tourists will have been vaccinated before

arriving. The only ones NOT vaccinated are......you guessed

it, Thais.

Pure Politics, plain and simple. No Western vaccine was allowed in so as not to

compete with other " projects " in the pipeline.  Now that the cat is out of the bag, wiser minds see

that it is wiser to bring in vaccines with a high efficacy rating than roll the dice with a 50/50

Sinovac vaccine that no one wants, or an iffy Astrazeneca that many countries have yet to Greenlight.

Why is the man still wearing his Army uniform ?

Is he thinking like Myint Aung Hlaing , his buddy next door ?

China is laughing at the incompetency of it all. They have

Myanmar now.  Thailand is next on the radar.

If the Thai Government refused the Australian request, it plausibly refused other

Countries as well. Why let Foreign Embassies import 90+% effective vaccines

when China is offering 50% effective vaccines ?  Saving Face, of course.

Hilarious !! ExPAts have been asking for a vaccine for Months.

Trips to Private Hospitals all come up Empty ( we are NOT allowed

to Register or Vaccinate by the Government ).

This , coupled with the news about Sinovac and AstraZeneca leaves

too much doubt about the competency of this sudden push to

vaccinate every one in a hurry. Is the expiration date on the Sinovac

coming due ?

Most posts have missed the point entirely.

The US Government is NOT vaccinating US

Citizens in Thailand for the Simple reason it

has NOT been given permission to do so by

the Thai Government. My Australian neighbor

was told the Same when she called Her Embassy

in Bangkok last week.

Only the CHINESE have been allowed to vaccinate

its citizens here.

We NOW know the reason other vaccines were NOT approved

by the Government. It had Nothing to do with their superior

effectiveness, but rather, who controlled the 2 vaccines touted.

But of course. The demand is too great considering most Thais are

rejecting Sinovac.

How Ironic !! China is allowed to vaccinate its citizens here but the UK, Australia and the

USA is Not.  A call 2 weeks ago to the Aussie Embassy in Bangkok confirmed that Thailand

would Not give permission to have them vaccinate their own citizens here.

Why ?  The Loss of Face would likely be the no. 1 guess.

Notice the secrecy with the Name of the vaccine being offered.

10 to 1 it's Sinovac.  Thanks but NO thanks.

While the Thai Ministry of Health calls the Sinovac vaccine "Safe ", they conveniently

leave out the fact that it is NOT Efficient at 50% . As for the Sputnik vaccine, this comes

from a country that denies it poisons people or that the massive Olympic Doping Scandal

was just not true ( they were banned by the IOC ) .  There you have it. 2 vaccines most likely

at bargain basement prices with very few takers.

WHERE are the vaccines ?

WHY are hospitals NOT allowed to buy

them yet ?

I can guarantee you this, NO foreigner who can spend 200,000 baht per

month will put up with the 90 day rule, perhaps not even the 1 year

passport. A minimum 5 year passport would be welcomed for long term

pensioners. And we haven't even touched on traffic fatalities yet.

WHY is Prayuth NOT getting the vaccines early ? And WHY

is he buying the Sinovac vaccine, which has the lowest

efficacy rating than any other vaccine on the market ?

PLEASE, Check for functioning TAIL LIGHTS as well.

33% of all motorcycles have non working ones.

Not good at night.

So let's see, come and buy Property, spend $8,000 monthly

and THEN we MIGHT consider thinking about changing the

90 day nonsense.

In the meantime, our Buddhist neighbors in Myanmar are being murdered

but we don't want the families who are escaping the bloodbath to

come here.

First their were MAJOR complaints about Chinese $1 tours.

Now that seems to have all been forgotten.

I hear she is frantically trying to contact the Red Bull Heir in how to

get Out of this mess.

Good luck in assuming that the Bank will make good on

reimbursing the out of luck customers. They usually

claim it is the corrupt employee who needs to make

restitution. Then they wash their hands of it and walk away.

Take Bangkok salaries out of the equation and you can cut those numbers

by half.
