But, maybe, first half of this decade? 

more smoke in mirrors

Yesterday  the Czar proclaimed 25 million of J+J on order seems he was just 20 million out today????

Order a billion. Forget that, make it a trillion, and keep the change.

.... they announced on JUNE 8 without blinking an eye!!!!

If they are being sought, maybe look for them under the bed of the Red Bull guy. Maybe Thailand could

find them both then at the same time.  oops more sarcasm toward, those in Thailand who are seeking

such things for the Thai people.

Geezer

Promises, promises.  Thailand is always 'about to' or 'mulling the possibility of,' 'considering', 'discussing', 'planning to.' Without actually delivering.

Sought and delivered are not the same meaning if I am correct .

Just got my 2nd Pfizer jab for free in California.  Hopefully they have enough cleaning solution to wipe down the dirty Farang vaccine vials they'll be receiving to meet Thai standards of cleanliness and care.

So Siam Bioscience failed to meet the PM's expectations or not everything made in Thailand was destined for Thailand.

I bet the PM thought Siam Bioscience was going to manufacture solely for his benefit, where he could vaccinate Thai people and sell the rest for a fat profit to other Asian nations?

If it sounds too good to be true…

    I don't want to see 'this year' in the headline.  I want to see 'this month'.  Or, better still, 'this week'.   Get it in gear, already.

Why are these words always used when it comes to ordering Covid vaccine, looking into, going to order, will be seeking, Going to get…..always future! Doesn’t the government have an ordering department????

Wake me up when they're paid for and have a delivery date please.

What ever happened with the Sinopharm that was being procurred in a public announcement only a couple of weeks ago, from a different source to the government? And has been on silent footing ever since.

Siam Bioscience is licensed manufacturer for AZ and can't set price on his own. AZ have made pledge to sell to developing countries at cost price and the pricing will be transparent for comparison by countries.
