Predictable mate after all your China thrash talk. Anyway, move aside so others can get their Sinovac shot in a heartbeat.

The 3 million doses of Sinovac is a big relief for vaccines starved Thailand. All vaccines have different effectiveness rate as they were designed for the pre Delta variants. However all vaccines will still prevent serious illness and deaths even for Delta. Trying to treat Sinovac like a geo-political football to score points in times of severe vaccine shortages are just prattle and pure malarkey. You can select not to get Sinovac but not thrash talk.

Most likely some cautious relaxation of restrictions like the Malaysia model. Malaysia has the same dire statistic as regards to surging infections and deaths. https://www.malaymail.com/news/malaysia/2021/08/15/pm-barbers-hair-salons-among-11-types-of-businesses-allowed-to-re-open-in-p/1997767

Blessed her heart, she has been working to get vaccines to Thailand and other SEA countries. The 1.5 m Pfizer to Thailand can be attributed to her effort NOT Anutin nor Prayut. https://www.duckworth.senate.gov/news/press-releases/duckworth-announces-us-commitment-of-15-million-american-vaccine-doses-to-thailand-as-part-of-biden-administrations-global-vaccination-efforts

It is the responsibility of the military to help the civil authority in times of disasters all over the world. They should go further and open up their bases for field hospitals.

Glaringly obvious that it’s all about leadership and Thailand has none in this government. Full stop.

The ideology of judges is embedded in the pro-authoritarian elite network. Don’t expect this lawsuit to go anywhere. More court efforts will be spent on prosecuting the students at rapid pace.

It baffle my mind as to why hasnt Bioscience expand their production capacity or even plan to expand their capacity in view of increasing demand. SK Bioscience of South Korea with Astrazeneca agreement has announced that they will spend USD132 million to ramp up production capacity. SK Bioscience is not connected to Siam Bioscience.

The budget for this year was passed in June parliamentary seating. I believed the central budget or contingency budget was in the region of 500 billion baht which is traditional at about 16% and largest of budget allocations. I think the government is using this central budget. We can know whether they are borrowing mindlessly and over the limit by looking to the debt to GDP ratio and the rating agencies reactions. Thailand still have the foreign reserves to draw upon when needed. Thailand has the financial ability to spend but whether it’s spend wisely and corruption free is another story.

Scientists are still studying how well various vaccines effectiveness against the Delta variant. Lets not preempt the on-going studies to make claim about effectiveness ranking. All vaccines give protection from serious hospitalisation and deaths for non comprised infected people.

You have scientific evidence that Sinovac at bottom of list. Do share. Meanwhile, link below from a study showed Pfizer 42% effective against Delta. https://ussanews.com/News1/2021/08/12/covid-19-vaccines-effectiveness-against-delta-variant/

This is dire situation as regards to shortages of vaccines. The government should step up pressure on Astrazeneca to co-license production to other international vaccine manufacturers based in Thailand. Top of my head is Bionet which is a Thai-French fully integrated vaccine manufacturer. There are others. Bioscience is not the only vaccine manufacturer in Thailand; only better connected.

FDI are direct inflows of investments not enquiries.

Going green and reducing plastic production are environmental friendly. Thailand produces around 2.7 million tons of plastic and about 2 million tons are mostly unrecyclable.

Home Pro is open. So is Mega Home which are considered as essential services.

Songkran was in April. The first case of the Delta variant confirmed in Phuket in July. Songkran was a super spreader but not the Delta.

Fair enough. This link in May. Just contributing to the conversation and not brinksmanship. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8159019/

Here another link that is a worthy read. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1201971220322736

Same tactic in Florida too. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2020/may/20/florida-scientist-dr-rebekah-jones-fired-refusing-change-covid-19-data-reopen-plan

His post rightfully deleted for misinformation. The RT PCR test can detect numerous respiratory pathogens and distinct strains of influenza and will distinguish between influenza and SARS-COV-2 which is the virus that caused COVID-19.

There is no miracle drug that can save covid infected compromised patients from deaths except vaccines and that also has its failures if patients have underlying illness. Looking at the 555,334 that has recovered in today statistic, we can safely said that Favipiravir played a significant role.

THG is a public listed company and he is the chairman of the group. His words have consequences. He should have kept the information confidential while negotiation was still in progress rather than spoke about this in public.

Thailand Health Ministry don't recommend invermection for good reasons and WHO warned against its use. Have you personal experience taking Invermectin and recovered from covid? My personal experience is that favipiravir work and is safe.

Did he even try hard enough?

He will not get the vote to be PM from the bicameral chambers. Prayut’s coalition is on a shaky ground and Thammanat is not liked by the opposition parties and his own party after he refered himself a the “monkey keeper” which incensed many. He went through a censure debate last year when opposition parties charged him ineligible to be a cabinet minister. He didn’t defend his case properly but instead tried to block admission of the Australian court records. At debate’s end, he was rebuked by many of his own party and received the least fewer votes of confidence than 5 others including Prayut. He is not liked and loathed in both houses.
