I would like to know where they get 30%?  Include a village, city, county country?  Not possible to reach 30% of any group deciding to come to Thailand. It a big world full of wonders without hoops to jump through. 

Drink at work??  You’ve got to love you job!????????????

Thai courts are disgraceful. The kingdom is failing it’s people by failing to implement judicial reform. Thailand will remain a 3rd world country until it reforms it’s judiciary, government and police, but that is just how those organizations want it to remain.

So same-o same-o

Anutin accuses US senator of “fake news” over Pfizer delay

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul Thursday refuted comments by US Senator Tammy Duckworth that the next batch of US Pfizer vaccine donated to Thailand is being held up by bureaucracy in Bangkok.

“From the discussion with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it has been found that the ministry has yet to receive the diplomatic document from the US government about the extra vaccine support to Thailand, so the news is not real,” Anutin said

Sounds like a defamation case, just not sure which party person should file against the other

With regards to contract signature. On your return to work did you present the contract renewal signed or not signed by yourself.

In any of the correspondence did you notify the acceptance of contract renewal 

Showing up for work could be construed as an implied acceptance.   

My father always told me that a verbal contract is as good as the paper it is written on.

Last night, just before I completed watching the 322nd sheep jump over the fence, my Thai wife tapped me on the shoulder and asked me a question about this forum. 

"If the US government has earmarked a certain percentage of the 1.5 million doses of the Pfizer vaccine, why hasn't anyone started a petition to get the benefactors to pressure the recipients to come clean on their commitment to sharing the vaccine with the foreign residents of Thailand?"

 

I had no answer. Do any of you?

Your quest for an answer caused me to check on vaccine donations to Thailand from the US.  No information directly on website regarding vaccine to expats, however, the Vaccine donations is not 1.5 million, but 2.5 million

1.5 Million Pfizer Vaccine Doses, Donated by the United States, Arrive in Thailand

Today, the United States donated 1,503,450 doses of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine to Thailand.  This historic shipment, which reaffirms U.S. support to our oldest ally in Asia, arrived at Suvarnabhumi airport this morning.

We are also proud to confirm that the United States will provide an additional one million vaccine doses to Thailand – on top of the doses that arrived today – for a total of 2.5 million doses.

Where is the scientific evidence that the Pfizer mRNA vaccine is more "highly effective" than for instance AstraZeneca ?

One thing is sure : there is a big fight going on in the world of Big Pharma and not only for the market of to-day but also for the sales of many years in the future because this COVID will not go away and will require additional jabs once (or even more) a year.

Go to Forbes.com and fill in their search tool : ""How The Covid-19 Vaccine Injected Billions Into Big Pharma—And Made Its Executives Very Rich

 

per google search on Astra Zeneca:

Results demonstrated vaccine efficacy of 76% (CI: 59% to 86%) after a first dose, with protection maintained to the second dose.

Why someone who doesn't smoke, drink, eat meat or sugar should have to pay for your treatment of cancer and diabetes?

Well, I believe that those choices affect the individual person, while Covid-19 antivaxxer actions affect Doctors, Nurses, EMT's, Hospital Staff, hotels, restaurants and I will go so far as to say the entire economy. As for Smoking, the tobacco companies should be held responsible, as for Cancer, many causes.  My father died after smoking 5 packs of Camels/unfiltered cigarettes for 70 some odd years.  Wound up not getting treated for Crohn's disease and dying from malnutrition, he also worked with asbestos. 

So, no vaccine to help society, no insurance help.  Same as in US as hurt on job while on drugs.  Reap what you sow. 

I don't really care one way or another if someone wants to not be vaccinated.  I have a daughter, her husband and my grandson that don't want it.  Although vaccinated, my son points out that every zombie outbreak is due to mass vaccination. ????.  I note that there is a view that is never brought up.  The cost of treatment.  The vaccine is free (In the US and most places) so, I believe that if vaccinated and you have insurance, the insurance carrier should cover costs for treatment.  On the other hand, if not vaccinated, why should everyone who pays for insurance have to absorb the costs for your beliefs.  Your choice. 

"Forget it - I’m staying home and will continue with my four decade policy of letting them get on with it…..and perhaps writing in support behind a pseudonym."

I am surprised that no one else jumped on this.

Thanks but I thought that most readers of this thread realised I was referring to Coronavirus Covid-19 vaccines.

Moderna & Pfizer approved in US for 12 & up. Grandson turns 12 in February, and has to wait 

Not wanting to see people die at home, instructions for all Government are to assume this stance. 

Good Luck People!

I wonder if the navy will do a feasibility study on using submarines to move containers ????

So, if they were to adopt a slogan, it might be Fly Thai Army...Bringing Peace & Covid to all?
