Vaccine rollout: Anutin denies standing in the way of VAX companies selling to private sector

...and here we can see what's really going through his mind, lol.

So now it is the "Doctor No" outfit!

 

How remarkably appropriate!

Thailand is on the the brink of a complete collapse

[brucegoniners]

OMG! I know this to be total and complete bulls*#t!

 

They're going to force us to take their lousy vaccines, while the private hospitals have been begging and pleading for the government to allow them to order Pfizer, Moderna and J&J.

 

I know this to be a fact from talking to different medical professionals here.

 

These guys need to get real. 

 

They've said a lot of crazy things, but this is among the craziest. Somebody in the government doesn't want private hospitals to get the vaccine. If it's not this guy then it's probably the PM.

You guys need to apologize to this man, he is right in what he says. The good general (Czar) has taken over responsibility for all things Covid, the buck stops there. (Excuse the pun)

You maybe correct....what will save the junta is the fact 99% Thais don't have that far to fall....unlike say people in the UK.

The line seems to be getting longer and longer for a choice of vaccines. The only thing we can do is wait. To bad we have to hear  all this BS everyday. Theses vaccines do have a due date so they might be nicer to us all when they have a big batch.

Any entity buying vaccine needs written authorization fro mteh government to do so. Which the government thus far has refused to provide to private hospitals.

 

And why is that? BAHT FOR THE GOVERNMENT!!!

[maddermax]

I've been to three hospitals, 1 public, 2 private, in Pattaya and none of them know anything about these appointments to get the vaccine or when they are likely to be able to sell the vaccine privately.

So while Rome burns, Nero fiddles.

And then out of the other side of his mouth he states that vaccine producers will only sell to the "government".

 

There seems to be a concerted effort to delay both other vaccines and making them available through private hosptials. 

 

 

 

In the real world this guy would have been sacked by now.

 

 

or have resigned, taking responsibility for the mess he created. What was that? Res-ponsi- bility? Unknown word in Thailand.

Where is DSI and their fake news police? Why isn't DSI taking action against Thai government for these fake news comments? Pfizer has 2.5 billion doses available in 2021 and over 1 billion shots available and unallocated in 2021 so why no Pfizer shots available in Thailand - only because the government refuses private entities to import it and wants to shove AZ and Sinovac into everybody.

[spidermike007]

Oh but he is. He is standing in the way of any sort of progress, forward movement, solutions and benefit for the Thai people. He is a regressive dinosaur, just like his boss Prayuth. One and the same. This administration is beyond redemption. The only way out for the Thai people is to get rid of the army, once and for all. Some may call me an optimist, but I do believe that once these retrogrades are gone, it will be Thailand's last coup.

There so much Pfizer vaccine in USA that they give you a shot for free, no need to be a USA citizen!  See here for more details: https://covid19.alaska.gov/travelers/

[malibukid]

Thai people are taught from an early age to not question authority, therefore no problem, take what ever offered.  Falang big problem.  very picky, think too much

[geisha]

They want the other vaccins delayed. Why, so that the company who is going to ( when?) carry out the astazeneca production will get all the bénéfice. Just look at who this company belongs to.

It's probably because there are so many moronic fools there who regard the pandemic as a political conspiracy and refuse the vaccine..

Careful.

[Dialemco]

What is the Tsar doing to organise the vaccination programme. My opinion is the Government should procure the vaccines as a matter of top priority and then request  the medics to arrange the vaccination programme. You really don't want the virus to get out of control as is now happening in India. Keep the fat cats from the Tourism Industry out of these arrangements and take care entire population

Maybe you are right. But also Pfizer is on schedule to produce 2.5 billion doses in 2021, in 2 plants one in USA and one in Belgium. Pfizer will have met its obligation to USA government of delivering 300 million doses in USA before July 1. It is shipping 8 million doses to Canada, in May and has already shipped 10 million to Mexico. Shipping schedule to Thailand ZERO doses - no orders or payments received from Thailand.

maybe some are not getting this . The main aim is to line pockets. You must delay release of any vaccine on a wide scale because the money maker , the domestically produced AZ , is not ready for mass release until next month and it will generate the best revenue for the “regime” ..and the individuals who pocket from it. Thailand is a thoroughly corrupt country. Death or infection is of concern to the powers that be unless there is a personal gain to be obtained . Sadly .

Don't forget, the probable reason is the Thai Government do not want the private hospitals buying 'cos they will then know the real price of the medicine is a lot lower than they are being told!!!! kerching kerching????????????????

The vaccine rollout in Thailand has been criticized as slow moving and is only expected to pick up pace next month when Siam BioScience's AstraZeneca vaccine becomes widely available. 

And we all know why this is the only company to get the go-ahead.

By the end of the year we will all look back, all having been vaccinated and say, same day, same place, same smell.

And expats may well still be waiting for a jab.

The man is beyond incompetent, only saved by the fact the cabinet and government he's part of are the global gold-standard in incompetence and corruption in 2021 - it is why we are in the mess we are right now.  He'll do or say whatever is needed to fiscally advance his big boss and secure his own position. 

 

the similar things were said about Donald Trump ????

The new Thai generation is not with that brainwash program anymore and bucks and refuses their kowtowing behind licking system now. This is what the protests are about and are backed the the big majority.

Nice jacket Anutin, by the way.

Was she given the Sinovac vaccine?

[raccos21]

No worries! Soon the covid vaccines will combine with seasonal flu vaccines or in form of pills or patches instead of shot.

So it will available in the 7-11.

Just get the damn Moderna and Pfizer approved and in the hands of the private hospitals. Disgraceful.

Not fair for those who can't afford a private hospital price. 

I don't think the normal Thai would like it if rich foreigners could get it before them.
