The US government can supply vaccines as foreign aid to foreign countries and yet they can not (will not) supply vaccines to their own US citizens overseas!
And yet China can supply their citizens overseas with vaccines.
What else do you need to know about our exceptional nation and how we expats (don't) benefit from our country's largess?

So - the US will supply Thailand with vaccines, and then US citizens abroad will be placed at the end of the line to receive their vaccines after Thais get their shots which were given to them by the US Government???
Does that sound about right?
The Thai government has a racist distribution policy that will be directly supported by the US government as US citizens are put at the end of the vaccination lines.
This reads better then a Kurt Vonnegut novel - you can't make this stuff up!
Welcome to Wacky-World ????

 

So what is your point? 

US should not help with vaccines in order not to support racism and discrimination? ????

Why don’t they focus on manufacturing the vaccine and get it out to sites rather than an elaborate registration system?

 

reminds me of having police check points when road accidents are out of control...

 

 

Obviously Thai's way isn't your's way ????

So the 3000B price they've  announced was just hogwash...? 

Sure you there is more money in it ????

BTW I would like to know the price this vaccine is selling for? 

500 Baht or more....by 200 million.... is... Anyway too much for Mr. X? 

I thought there is this new home made vaccine ChulaCov 19 ready to be tested on all farangs???

Run and go for it. ????

These are the figures from the weekend. 

All EU countries get lower numbers of covid on the weekend out of less testing or not counting/not sending the counts to authorities. 

Wait till tomorrow ????

you are not free to return to Thailand without a quarantine.  thai government must get brown envelope and kickback from quarantine hotel to compensate for loss of face that rich farang. get vaccine in home country while rollout bungled in Thailand

If this is really a problem for you then you are in the wrong country. 

Sounds somehow strange. Reminds me of Novichok, used for Nawalny or the guy in UK. 

However we will not know definitely.

I agree, have Americans register and send over the vaccine.  Hell, add 5,000 baht to cover extra costs.  Probably much more complicated but it would be nice.  Life could be worse and think I'm just going to have to extend my stay at this resort for a few more months ( been 3 already ) and wait for a jab.  Love where I'm stuck now on the Thai/Lao border but would like to be free to travel.

Well, then take a trip home to get a Johnson jab. It's only once off. 

And stop complaining. 

You are free to travel. ????

Normal life will be when the whole country has their second jab and than after 6 weeks, people can start slowly to take the normal life back. But with this slow  and delaying working Government it will take at least 2 years before things get normal again

Never ever with this kind of govt. ????

Are any daily testing figures available?

 

Specifically: location, number of tests, number of positives.

 

Saying there were no new cases in 29 provinces is cool, cooler if there were any tests performed.

The simple answer is: No tests...... No cases. ????

Smallpox is the first disease to be eradicated

Said the WHO. Since 1977 no case documented. Doesn't mean it could happen again. 

Just opposite to Great Pox.

What happened to the original SARS? That disappeared with no vaccine.

 

And smallpox hasn't been seen for over 40 years.

 

I rather suspect that some governments may have hoped that SARS2 (Covid) would vanish like SARS did and planned accordingly. It looked a great plan as it meant that they didn't have to do much and spend even less. It failed.

They never dissapeared...... They are under control.... Somehow

There are new vaccines under development where they hope it will give life long protection for Corona , so hopefully they manage to do the trick. 

 

Bought stocks just in case, cause that will be a game changer if they manage to give life long protection. 

 

Meanwhile it's going to be a bumpy ride.

New variant from Vietnam seems to spread through air a lot faster. 

Not good. 

 

As for vaccines I got 1st shot of Pfizer 5 days ago, but still no antibodies detected in todays test, so I hope I'm not one of the few that can't develop proper antibodies. 

You got the best vaccine at present........ like the past V1 some years ago

Interesting. So the garage did a background check or Interpol search on him? Or are garages linked to the police system?

 

Good to know he can't escape extradition. Even the ECHR affirmed Spain's decision. Time for some rice and tom kha soup with leftover fish heads. Despite the assurances that the death penalty is off the table, I'm almost certain that Thai courts will not consider time spent in prison in Spain as deductible from whatever sentenced is imposed. That's assuming he is convicted in Thailand of course.

Do you think really this matters?

My family at home don't quite understand when I try to explain the simple reason I haven't been vaccinated yet is because there basically isn't any out there to get vaccinated with. Questions on when it is likely are equally difficult to answer, as the outlook changes with every shift of the wind. And Government comment.

Complacency clearly set in last year when we had no cases, but with a GDP based on tourism, a far more forward thinking policy on vaccine procurement for the future would have been the sign of a competent administration. So it's no surprise really that we have ended up where we are.

 

It's quite evident now that the last 7 years of Prayut did not improve life of the majority of Thai people but only for those who benefit all times. 

The desaster of providing vaccines for Thailand in an early stage of this pandemic shows how incompetent these Generals and cronies are. 

Now that HE said that I'm really relieved. ????

I'm not a great believer in the Sinovac vaccine, I would rather wait a month or two and have 2 shots of AZ

.......if you are still alive..... ????

I would take and even run for it. Later the year I would go for a Biontech or Moderna. ????

Any deleterious effect of blue cheese is easily offset by the contemporaneous consumption of a good red. This is well known to gourmets.

It's well known to obviously not everybody that cheese is causing clots and plaques in your brain leading to Alzheimer. 

I'm not sure if you stop now you can avoid it 

Well, Radar501, it seems you got a lucky number with 501.

However I hope you didn't need to have 501 attempts to find a girl? ????
