Doesn't mean it's coming. ????

..brilliant...it will probably be a pfizer   phizzer  fizzer.

Thought it was 3 submarines...yellow ones, the sort we all live in...

Procured my <deleted>. Procured means you got them in your sweaty little hands.

These are orders. Orders which may or may not be fulfilled, depending on where you are in the pecking order.

It really is not about the timing of this, or saving Face.

The reality is the Pharma Companies will not supply, or sell to the private Sector. The sales of Covid Vaccine are for Government Sales only.

and the Government in Thailand is showing major incompetence. To ensure proper coverage of 70 million people, 150 million jabs (if the vaccine requires 2 jabs for maximum efficacy) need to be ordered, paid for, received and distributed.

Sinopharm was approved d by WHO yesterday, Moderna, 7the May. AZ 16 Feb, Pfizer approved by UK government on 3rd December 2020.

Stop <deleted> around and stop pretending Thailand needs to register and approve these vaccines. 

Get it done. People are dying now, in their droves. The first phase nearly passed you by, and lulled you into a false sense of security. Idiots brought infection into the country in search of the cheap labour. 

Thailand is 6th in ASEAN for innoculations. 6th out of how many countries...? Oh that's right...10.

Sure they want the vaccine? Kids are not at risk from Covid at all. 

You are kidding, right?

the question here is to write your real opinion on this (If you have any opinion of course) so are you happy with this sort of useless control that is the 90 days reporting ?

Edited 46 minutes ago by kingofthemountain

I think we know where you stand on this.

Happy, no. OK with it, yes.

There was a copper there, taking pictures. Couldn't he have arrested the miscreant?

My understanding is that the vaccine does not stop you getting the virus, it reduces the impact. To work, the vaccine fools the body into thinking it has the virus and the body's defence mechanism goes into action. Once the virus has done its job and gone from the body, the immune system has cells that remember the virus and cells which right the virus. Immunity may be the wrong word here. Or perhaps it is misunderstood. 

I'm bored now. I shall scan the headline and move on.

One would think, unless Thai Airways has filed for bankruptcy protection everywhere, anywhere it flies, it will have lien on its assets in no time.

Didn't the governor of Phuket recently say that tests would be charged to everyone including Thais later this month?

As of 15th May, is my recollection...

Tharet said the law - specifically Article 66 was clear. 

Article 66 of what?

You don't follow the news in the UK?......(News.....not the Daily Express)

National Health Service statistics as of yesterday:

Total population: 68,207,116. https://worldpopulationreview.com/countries/united-kingdom-population

for England only... (Around 84% of UK population)

1st dose of vaccine: 29,124,310

2nd dose: 13,284,182

In total: 42,408,492. https://www.england.nhs.uk/statistics/statistical-work-areas/covid-19-vaccinations/

Taksin was elected. This crew came to power after a military coup. If the Army of my country ran the Government and country the way this lot are running the country in Thailand....mind you, there's not much left of the Army now...110,000 including reservists as of Oct 2020.

The bottom line is that the jab will cost $37 - $38 (about 1,150) baht to import before tax.

Tax? On a possible life saver?

Everyone is required to pay for these tests after 15 May. 

Perhaps there won't be any need to test, after 15th May. Perhaps that's why everyone pays. To deter the requests for tests. No requests to test, no tests, no Covid, job done. Phuket is free from Covid.

Maybe because for some people with specific medical conditions, certain vaccines may be contra-indicated. A quick review of someone's medical records could prevent someone receiving a shot they shouldn't. It could also be for medical monitoring in cases of severe adverse reactions...to facilitate faster medical treatment if necessary (by already having access to someone's medical records. There are probably other reasons, none nefarious, for this request. And again, if you don't want this government freebie, at least for now, one is free to decline it (or pay for their own).

so the Government has the medical expertise, not the doctors at clinics and hospitals which already have the patient's medical records?

The Government is going to review all the population's medical records? The government has all the personnel qualified to do so? All around 70 million of them? Accurately asses, each and every one? Then say no to those who may not be suitable for an innoculation, and say yes to those who are...?

What a load of waffle. It's all about control. The 'Government' wants to control this, not permitting qualified and experienced medical staff in the field, of whom there are many more than work for 'the Government'.

How could the DPM and Health Minister possibly be blaming the PM after he himself very publicly gave the all-clear for Songkran travel?

 

“Although provinces have been divided into zones, designated by colours according to the infection rates, none will be locked down. People can still travel to other provinces without having to go into quarantine on arrival at their destination. Only people who have been infected with the virus, or are considered to be at high risk, will be quarantined.”

You think this wasn't sanctioned by those at the very top? In reading the news around the world, heads of government are taking the blame and credit where it's due.  Why not in Thailand. This appears to me to be a way of isolating him from the top job. 

Scapegoats are us...

Why?

 

The RTP is frequently recognized as the fourth armed force of Thailand since their tradition, concept, culture, skill, and training are relatively similar to the army and most of their officer cadets need to graduate from the Armed Forces Academies Preparatory School before entering the Royal Thai Police Cadet Academy. Officers also undergo paramilitary training similar to the army but with an additional focus on law enforcement.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Royal_Thai_Police

France's Gendarmerie Nationale and Italy's Carabinieri spring to mind. The GN is a branch of the French Armed Forces, and the Carabinieri is considered Italy's 4th armed force. Their uniforms are different to the Army of each respective Nation.

Cambodia jailed and fired a police major general for holding a party. Jailed others attending it too...

A salutary lesson, I would say, for some neighbouring countries that seem to have lots of 'inactive'  posts available for police miscreants.

Something else to punish the people. Make the drinks more expensive for them. Won't affect the senior generals. They probably dine on the finest of comestibles.
