I ran into my neighbour yesterday. Hadn't seen him for a while and he's sporting a great tan, and when I asked he said they'd been following the sun around the planet living at beach resorts for 3 months. His daughter is a TV actress and they're clearly in the hi-so category. When I asked how he was managing that, he told me that the Government had arranged UK AZ vaccines for his whole family and their friends 3 months ago, and apparently quarantine doesn't include them when they return! There's "them", and then there's the rest of us. TiT!!

Like many expat, you don't understand what a Thai hi-so is.  They rarely work.

Thailand has maybe plenty of different brands of vaccine

but certainly by far not enough of each of them, as it's confirmed by the Pattaya's mayor:

 

''According to the Mayor, the start of the campaign had some “bumps in the road” and he was well aware that the number of vaccines was not sufficient for demand nor for the current plan to get at least 70% of the local community vaccinated before hopefully opening to vaccinated foreign tourists and “relaunching” the local tourist-reliant economy in October, per a current plan set by regional authorities and the Thai Tourism Authority.''

 

''However, due to a current outbreak of Covid-19 impacting Bangkok, vaccines were reallocated by the National Vaccine Committee to the Bangkok area and surrounding provinces, which left Chonburi with only an estimated 57,000 vaccines for the entire province from the current batch, according to the Pattaya Mayor. 20,000 of these went to Pattaya, Banglamung, and the surrounding area but the Pattaya area was originally set to get an estimated 45,000 vaccines this month, which would have sped up the process to vaccinate Pattaya and restore the economy faster.''

Why did nobody ask this stupid man which brands were available than??/ Pfizer/ Moderna/Sputnik V or....Sinovac 1  18-30 yrs sinovac 2 31-40 yrs  Sinovac 3 41-50 yrs Sinovac 4 51-60 yrs Sinovac Special for over 60 because it is not tested yet by the manufacturer

 

In fairness, they probably didn't want to risk the "alcohol sprayed in the face" treatment that the journalists got when Prayut didn't like their questions.

 

" Lies, damn lies and statistics" I think that applies here.

But what about this report on Thaivisa?

Difficult to know who comes up with the most BS, him or Prayut.

Colin,

It aint BS its called Brain Farts, and you forgot to mention the 3rd member of the exploding Brain Fart Club - Phiphat of the TAT

Plenty of vaccine brands to choose from? How come I can't see any?

 

he must know something we don't.

 

even third dose, says Anutin

 

 

The upside to reading about the pronouncements of anutin is that they confirm I don't have COVID-19.

 

 

I can smell the stink on everything he says.

All the vaccine producers have been working on their "Version 2" booster shots. Perhaps it's time for them to make an appearance.

U gotta love this guy, he is in the wrong business

He could make a fortune playing pker

I think the honorable HM has been digging into his 'Hemp' supply again.  The world always looks brighter after a few puffs.  ????

They will have plenty of jabs - i get the feeling that every producer on the planet will be processing their late orders in 2023

Any journalist with at least 1% of integrity would have stood up and asked him exactly what brands of vaccine are available right now and where instead of this sycophantic cut and paste claptrap.

Any journalist will know that, given the "high level interest" in vaccine provision in this country, such impertinent questions would be very unwise...

Hong Kong could soon bin millions of unused vaccine doses. https://www.bangkokpost.com/world/2121315/hong-kong-could-soon-bin-millions-of-unused-vaccine-doses   These are Pfizer doses that only 19% of HK'ers want. How hard to swap durians and rice for Pfizer? Stick your hand up Thailand and get to the front of the queue.

yes, yes....you have a choice of Sinovac or Sinovac or Sinovac, except for a few hours each week when AstraZeneca is also available.

Young people without any health issue should understand that once they put their fingers into the "vaccination" process... it will be 1, then 2, then 3 jabs.... and perhaps even more.

The manufacturers have pretty much stated that this is envisioned as a cash cow for the industry. 
This has been about revenue streams and profits from the beginning.  It will become more obvious as time progresses. 
Come on - no liability at all! The government does your marketing for you!  Some countries will even go as far as to dictate that their entire population take shots whenever they are produced. 
What's not to love as the newly minted Covid billionaire CEOs head to the bank.

An upbeat health and deputy prime minister Anutin Charnvirakul declared yesterday that there was plenty of vaccine against Covid-19 for everyone.

This dude openly lies right it the face of current verifiable facts.

Then the Bangkok Elite and government wonks whine that they can't understand why the commoners don't trust them, followed by consternation that Thais are 'vaccine hesitant'. 
"Why?  We don't understand why you little-people refuse to believe your betters!" 
Well - it's freaking obvious why.  Keep spreading b-s in the face of news such as this below which flies in the fact of Anutin's statements.

Public hospitals such as Vajira, Chulabhorn, and Thammasat announced that they were short of vaccine stock over the weekend and will thus be delaying their scheduled shots, The Standard reported.

 

Can he explain this then:

 

Hospitals postpone Covid jabs amid delays in domestic AstraZeneca production - Thailand News - Thai Visa Forum

 

Blatant lies to the press, how can the man make a statement like this knowing its not true,.... Everyone knows there is a shortage of vaccine in Thailand, due to the irresponsible Government's action in ordering the vaccine in the first place.
