Hard to wrap ones head around this governments priorities.  Everything is so wrong it would be funny if it wasn't so life-threatening.

Also 6 million doses is actually 3 million.  It takes two doses per person.

Anutin, what else can one say.

Would be fun if the US demands foreign nationals get priority. 

Anybody confused or sad by this should be aware that was China's demand.  500,000 Sinovac BUT 150,000 are for Chinese nationals only.  Anutin agreed as always taking away vital nurses to vaccinate Chinese Nationals.  Thailand did get 350000 almost useless Sinovac vaccines though with there 54% rate.

You need to sign up with a LINE account, which I don't have, and have no interest in obtaining. 

Not sure if there is some kickback to LINE or what, but I would like to know what other avenue there is to register. 

 

I will not take an emergency use vaccine unless forced to, i.e. being prohibited from traveling, etc. But I will register in case I am compelled, against my will to get one. 

The Line app is very good.  Free international calls and deep discounts on hotels and restaurants.  I had your attitude until I used it.  Saved me a few bucks every month.

October?  Maybe.  Also, does this mean anyone, any age or any health condition can get the Moderna vaccine as long as they are willing to pay for it?  Or will a priority of need list be established as well(those who are older and/or with under lying health conditions be first).  Either way I do no see myself or anyone else in my category(under 60 and in overall good health) getting vaccinated anytime in the near future.  

 

 

Our family is on a waiting list at Udon Thani Bangkok Hospital.  Its helpful if you hospital record with them.

Moderna would be my first choice the Pheizer.

Too many chiefs !

You mean generals.

Everyone but the Government thought what a great idea to have one factory make all the vaccines.  

Whoever is in charge of this complete screw up costing people's lives should be assigned to an inactive post immediately!

I get confused with so many Deputy prime ministers.  It's the same with the hundreds of generals here in Thailand.

It is time Thailand admitted they need the Farang manufactured vaccines (and Farang tourists) However probably very little of both available til well into next year.

Never happen with that Idiot Anutin calling the shots and vying for construction contracts from China at the expense of Thailands population.

Another world renowned Dr quoting ridiculously low AZ figures from where? facebook probably. note to self must tell Boris  ????   

These hospitals with so many people close together, limited bathroom facilities, and lack of hygiene will end up being super spreader debacles.

I use this and it works great.  Ants take it to the nest and in a few days the whole colony is destroyed.

On Lazada, Shoppee, or Homepro.  A bit pricey @ 199 baht.

I wouldn't take the Sinovac jab and most Thais aren't stupid enough to take it either.  Theres been no peer review so there obviously hiding the horid efficiency rating.

These signs will help along border crossings:

The problem with putting all your eggs in one basket:

Two doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine were found to have only a 10.4% efficacy against mild-to-moderate infections caused by the B.1.351 South Africa variant, according to a phase 1b-2 clinical trial published on Tuesday in the New England Journal of Medicine. 

Moderna would be the prefered vaccine.

There scrutinizing Pfeizer, Moderna, J&J but get Sinovac no questions asked despite it not even being on the WHO emergency list. 

CP owns 15% could be part of the reason.  Anutin is always try to cuddle up with the Chinese to get contracts for his family business is another.  Theres not much research like other vaccines.  This is a big mistake.

I've bought most of my pool supplies there including the pool tiles and robotic pool vacuum.  It's usually 30% cheaper despite the shipping.  Most companies have an in with customs.

Highly recommend!

I would of thought it was a social responsibility to get vaxxed.

However, it should be voluntary not enforced.People should have a right to choose and suffer the consequences if they choose not to. Like not being employed in some areas.

I think that would entice customers knowing that there girls/employees were vaccinated.  If you're not vaccinated the only jobs will be on the dark side.

"Thai health authorities did not immediately comment on the scientists’ findings."

It's Sunday, the government is closed.

Fascinating podcast about a survivor of rabies by "radiolab".

Interesting how the disease stops you from wanting you to drink as all the contagion is in the saliva.  Drinking water would dilute it and wash it down your throat making it harder to spread.

I can't see Thailand organizing huge vaccine centers without more of these problems.  The place is one large petri dish.

Very reasonable considering the Taiwanese man abducted in plain view yesterday  in Bangkok while police looked on.

"He said that the PM has been briefed on the matter and is coordinating with the Ministry of Public Health."

The head guy Anutin knows nothing about medicine and whos family runs a construction company vying for Chinese contracts is very reassuring.

We had simple sliding screens put in for 1500 baht on the busy backyard sliding window door after the expensive ones broke.  I like the simplicity and it's cost effective with all the kids coming in and out.  It took ages to find someone that does here in Issan.
