I said they can be debated in Parliament, I never mentioned the House of Commons.

Select Committees in both houses are part of Parliament, they can demand evidence from and make recommendations to the Government, the Goverment must respond.

I didn't contradict your statement, I only pointed out a fact.

I might also point out that a 'Select Committee', has nothing to do with petitions.

A slight correction, if the petition gains 10,000 signatures, then the Government will respond, if it reaches 100,000 signatures then a committee considers if it’s going to be debated in Parliament, most actually don’t get to debate.

Petitions never get debated in the house of commons.  They are normally debated in another chamber within the parliament building by those who wish to attend. The outcome is never been put to parliament.

The chief of the Tourism Authority of Thailand Yutthasak Suphasorn has noted that the pandemic is out of control in Thailand and vaccination is still low, reported Sanook in a brief report. 

Well, N.S.S! However did you manage to come to that conclusion. I bet you have a terrible headache now?

A very much needed clarification of the Moderna doses availability. Will the doses which were supposed to be delivered for October this year, and in many cases have been paid for up front, still be available? Or are we now expected to wait until sometime next year, with all the problems and dangers that will cause?

No, its the Sinovac that doesn't work.

 

mRNA vaccines are very effective against the Delta variant.

 

Moderna will only be available to the private hospitals and smart people who paid in advance.

I really hope you are correct but, as these people change their minds more often than the weather changes in the UK, I'm not holding my breath.

I would like to believe this BUT, all pigs fed and ready to fly.

Had a I put a pound on all the crazy ideas and lies this government have put out over the past 7 years, I would now be  a multi millionaire.

Glad to hear they did not get sick.  But could be a different story with delta which is more contagious and strikes faster and harder. 

That is the present info we are being fed. Where is the proof? Puddings, I see no puddings.

If true, I wonder why they aren’t vaccinating more people everyday? 10m AZ plus 10 mil sinovac, equals 20 mil in total per month, which is roughly 600k or so a day.

 

It would suggest that there is another bottleneck.

Would that be Chang or Hong Thong?

I have a simple, three step plan to bring the country back to prosperity.

 

If the population was vaccinated there would be no need for a lockdown.

 

Step one:   Buy vaccines for everyone.

Step two:    Inject vaccines into everyone

Step three:  Sit back and watch the economy improve

A simple solution to be sure BUT, where do they get the money to buy the vaccines? It has all been spent on military hardware and shipped to off shore accounts.

AFAIK there is only one country that managed to effectively control the spread of the Virus . That is China . And how did they manage this ? Remember ? Strict lockdown for whole regions . And testing .

But Thai government helped to spread the virus by allowing people to move to their home provinces from Bkk for Songkran etc .

Instead of being hard and imposing tough measures when it was time for that , they did too little . And no foresight of what probably will happen , at all . 

The mess they ( and us ) are in now could have been avoided by more intelligent measures when it was time for that .

Foresight and intelligence!!?? There is a very serious lack of both. There always has been and I don't see it changing anytime soon. The ฿ beats any other consideration and always will.

Another Ponzi scheme. They never give up trying to empty foreigners bank accounts.

The British are caught on the back foot again, what a surprise!

If wit were you know what, these fools would be constipated...Oh.. Wait.

That sounds much better than saying, 'We don't have the vaccines'. Save face you know.

There is no irony at all, and it's not hard to comprehend.

 

Thailand does not own any of those AZ vaccines. They are owned by Astra Zeneca as manufactured by their partner in Thailand, Siam Bioscience. The fact that they are manufactured in Thailand is irrelevant.

 

Thailand thinking they can divert vaccines from more needy countries that have placed orders with AZ  to cover its disastrous handling of the vaccine program, is delusional.

 

Having said that, would it surprise me if Thailand, given the owner of SB did that? No.

If memory serves, I believe Italy stuffed Australia over vaccine exports?

Their are many final frontiers to explore - the space bewteen the ears of Prayut and Anutin et. al for starters.

Good grief, just think of the massive budget something like that would require?

And in other news, people are dropping dead like flies due to no vaccines. But not to worry, Somchai will be the next man in space and all our problems will be solved.

Mars here we come!!!!! 

Totally ineffectual government.

Brains of a rocking horse comes to mind.

It is also well know that empty vessels make the most noise.

Not giving up hope that the crisis might do what street protests and the suppressed opposition are not able to do.

That really would a big bonus.

I'm glad the penny has finally dropped with Thai people,  this Government is just a bunch of clowns pretending to be ministers

You are being unkind to clowns. Clowns are funny at least, this lot are stark raving bonkers.
