PM reassures every Thai they will be vaccinated against COVID-19 this year

[clivebaxter]

Well if young low risk Thais are getting vaccinated before elderly at risk foreigners then there NEEDS to be an argument mate. What's the latest, is it still ALL Thais, then foreigners then the beggars and homeless, or has that changed this week?

The statement makes sense. The situation is mercurial and it's rational to not be cemented into a bureaucratic plan that turns out to be bad

 

Wow.

 

This must be one of the side-effects of too much Yellow Kool-Aid.

 

 

 

The PM and his regime have nothing but bureaucratic plans. You know, a twenty-year plan.

 

He's easily ordered the formaiton of thousands of committees. Including four just for vaccines.

 

But oh no, when plans go wrong now it's time to be flexible, and move like a cat, and adjust.

 

Sheesh, minions can defend/rationalize anything.

The U. S. of A. Has such an abundance of vaccines that they don’t even want to bother approving AZ and are slow walking it. How about our Thai government picking up the phone and asking for some help. Oh sorry, loss of face, my bad.

Note to Prayuth. Have you stopped to consider that nobody is listening to you anymore? Do you engage in any sort of self reflection? Ever? You have essentially surrendered effective leadership of the nation with your inaction and lack of follow up, on anything and everything. 

 

You have zero credibility, on any level. You are stunningly incompetent, and have long overstayed your welcome. And now, you have failed the nation miserably with this second (or third wave, as they insist on calling it, to deflect blame, from where it really belongs) wave, which could have easily been avoided, had some precautions been taken by locking down Samut Sakhon province immediately, and rooting out your bad apple immigration guys, on the border.

 

There is no saying the extent of the corruption in this administration, but the army is not exactly known for integrity.  

 

You must step down, or be removed. You are a toxic force, and a dinosaur. The youth are absolutely correct, in their assessment of you and your cronies.

"I'm alright Jack!" He's ok, he's had his jab. The guy should've followed the tradition of the captain of a sinking ship being the last to leave. If he'd chosen to be the last to be vaccinated, that might have reassured a lot of people that there was some substance to his assurances.

Prayut would not risk, to have to let the other clowns take over, if he should be infected with Covid.

Does this new plan supersede the "70% of population vaccinated by September".

 

Based on that plan, and 2.2million (as of 26th May) have received the first dose and 94 days remaining, they have to vaccinate 497,000 per day, every day, until end of August...and that's just 1st dose. Second dose time pressure will start to impact these numbers even more...

 

Did Cha Cha just realize the folly of this plan and extend the date?

'All Thais' being the operative word.????

He did not say anything about fully vaccinated - so maybe he just mean 1st jab and not including the second.

 

But I still think that Thailand cannot vaccinate 375.000 pr day (every day) until Christmas.

 

But considering Thailand only has 2 vaccine choices at the moment, I think more than 40% will wait until Pfizer becomes available.

 

So maybe the Government is aiming for 200.000 pr day - and maybe that could work

 

I should work for TAT

If Phuket is anything to go by, “vaccinated” will mean one jab and done. They claim 50% done in Phuket, but it’s mostly just one jab.

He specifically said “all Thais” will be vaccinated by the end of the year. Can’t be clearer than that.
 

No farang.

Better get a move on then. That’s about 750,000 jabs a day starting 1st June.

Absolutely no chance.

UK is only averaging around 500,000 a day and that’s with a lot of practice and organisation.

One reason is that the UK (823/100000) also has about 4x mas many nurses per head of population the Thailand (275/100000). Even if there are enough vaccines, they just don't have the nursing staff to do massive numbers of vaccinations. My wife, who is a RN but not working in a hospital, has also been doing vaccinations (about 100 a day for her). The staff are stretched petty thin.

He is adressing Thai press, and it is Thais who he is referring to. Why would he mention foreign vaccinations to Thai people? Even so, he should ahve said "all people / all Thais who want a vaccine, will have one by the end of the year".

12 doses of vaccine per vial despite the official recommendation that there is only enough formula for 10 in each, now I wonder what country's have thought about doing that ????????????

What's next - water it down to make it go further, or am I giving them ideas

[brianthainess]

PM reassures.   time to stop reading now.

[nickmondo]

He could have said a lot of things. If his mind set was right, he would have referred to the population of Thailand, or, all those living in Thailand, or all the people in Thailand.

 

the comment is revealing for the mind set behind it.

 

btw, there are no “foreign” vaccinations. There are people (human beings) living in Thailand who require vaccination. This is a health issue, not a nationalistic issue.

Well the good news is that the mass vaccination starting in June (3 days time) was announced in March this year, or even before that. So lots of people will have been trained to administer the jabs between then and now.

 

so provided there is enough vaccine, the planning and preparation that have been done over the last few months will take it from there.

 

Please tell me I’m right.
