Popular Post placeholder Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 Walk-in centers in the early days of the vaccination program was obvously a bad idea. It's not just the time it takes to inject someone, but also the fact that inoculees are supposed to wait 15 minutes or so in case of an adverse reaction. Also, huge crowds are a very effective way of spreading covid. Once the initial surge of demand is satisfied, then it makes sense for walk-in centers to be established. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is obvious the country hasn't secured or produced 10, 20, 30mil or any significant amount of AZ or any other vaccine. Well done Khun Prayut Chan O Cha, a good decision. But there were supposed to be millions of Vaccines available. Guess the plans to vaccinate 70% of Phuket before July 1st and now vaccinate the taxi drivers is more important than those that work on the countries infrastructure. Nationalism aside, we are all in this boat together, and the foreigners are rowing that boat in circles while the Government dawdles.

People only want things to work the way they want, the bigger picture doesn't come into it. To get the vaccine in the UK you have to be in a group that has been offered the vaccine, it's not an open house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That injustice aside this guy is completely useless. Not to derail the topic, but it was proven that the G2G trades were fake and 2 of her ministers are serving time. So shows just how bad it was. But my point was more that its a common trait of Thai governments. Lying and keeping the lies up. So you just can't trust anything they say unless you can verify. Just like how this government is lying about the vaccines how many they have. They say a lot of stuff but its all untrue. They quote the most positive scenario not reality. I seen it with every Thai government so far. I can give more examples of the previous government their lies same as this one. I just brought it up as an example not to make this government look any better. Just showing its a trait of Thai governments to paint a beautiful picture while the facts are totally different. The problem is that reporters don't do enough digging. This give the governments too much opportunity to lie and now that his lies would get exposed he changes tactic so he can still deny it and act like he did a good job. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blumpie Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 This entire governance reminds me of when I was 16, smoking way too much dope, and hopelessly immature. But I digress....

Popular Post JonnyF Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 Looks like the Sino masters have let down the Covid Czar again. Either that, or he wants to strictly control who gets the vaccines and when. Wouldn't want those pesky serfs getting it before any of the 'good people'. Hopefully the registration app works better than the 90 day online reporting or we'll still be waiting for an appointment in 2026. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For once, Prayuth did something sensible ! Enough of the hysteria... Mass vaccination is still a fantasy in Thailand... Everything depends on the local factory (for Astra Zeneca)... It will take time. So back to the "step by step" policy and "prioritization" like other countries did. First the old and the sick individuals. Health care personel. etc. Is it too hard to understand ? "Walk-in" system was just a PR stunt. PR stunt? PR for what, this government's massive incompetence?

Popular Post fredwiggy Posted May 19, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 19, 2021 Lot of people dying every day here. Someday someone is going to get really mad that one of his dear relatives or friends has died because they don't care enough to get everyone inoculated as fast as America has, that's it's all about how much money they can get out of this, that they don't care about their own people, let alone foreigners, and that that someone might take things very personal and attack who is in charge, putting the blame on those that decide others fates. Not a good situation to be in. Other people's lives matter, but when you've already been protected, it seems that care goes away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
