Thailand removed from New York Times’ list of countries acquiring Pfizer vaccines

After recent unconfirmed reports that Thailand had already acquired COVID-19 vaccines from Pfizer were denied, The New York Times has removed Thailand from its infographic listing the countries acquiring the vaccines from the company.

 

Initially, Thailand was listed among countries that had acquired the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine for “limited emergency use”, which was then rebuffed by former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra in a Clubhouse discussion, causing a widespread backlash in Thai online communities as to why they do not have access to the vaccine, if the information is true.

 

The New York Times cited a report from the Associated Press,published on April 1st, where it said that Thailand will reduce the quarantine period for those who have been vaccinated against COVID-19 with vaccines approved by Thailand’s Food and Drug Administration or the World Health Organisation and that Thailand has approved 7 types of vaccines, including Pfizer.

Too bad.  Could have been a game-changer.

This sad and failing administration always seems to choose lower quality, under qualified, outclassed and incompetent, over the opposite. A very sad tendency for us poor folks living here.

 

Thailand deserves better. And they will get better. A good percentage of the Thai youth are a creative and impressive lot. Despite all the disadvantages they face, they will prevail. It is the only way forward. 

 

Out with the retrograde dinosaurs who are moving this nation backwards in time.
