rbkk Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) I read today that US is going to send 500 Million Pfizer vaccine doses to 100 Covax registered countries. Is Thailand therefore in the queue at the factory behind that order? Edited June 10, 2021 by rbkk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwaibill Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 (edited) 22 hours ago, Tropposurfer said: Lockdown and restrictions are not vaccination programs ... for anyone to put lockdowns in the same boat as mass vaccination is ludicrous. The issues for Thailand and all but the richest of countries on our planet is to get enough vaccine and fast enough has proved incredibly difficult. The xenophobia of the western world and those western huge pharma conglomerates in refusing to even consider waiving patent controls and freely giving the formula to the world so poorer countries wouldn’t have to scrape n beg for vaccines and the entire world could get back to normal much faster has been obviously the case. the slowness and ever changing timelines is far more to do with this than the easy and convenient a go-to rather than the incompetence of the government. Those who posit such things probably have no clue as the logistical and systemic barriers to procuring and rolling out a nationwide vaccination program. Well, unless your the US, hold some of a few of the patents and can mass produce and distribute yet give almost zip to other countries. Yes I hear some tens of millions of doses are going to be given away by the US soon. But the world behaviour regarding caring n sharing of vaccines in this serious global threat is yet again another example of nation-privilege, and white racist policies. So why are non-Thais not being accorded access? The US seems to be providing to all. What nation is exercizing "white privelege"? Seriously. I thought Thailand has had AZ rights for some time now.

BarraMarra Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 A well known website posted some Indo Country's like Taiwan and the Philippines paid Siam Bioscience to distribute the AstraZeneca produced and manufactured in Thailand and surprise surprise they have delayed the vaccine. They were Promissed 200 million doses. Yet Thai officials have claimed that there struggling to vaccinate there own Country's population saying the Astra and Moderna are in short supply. So the question has to be asked is if the Goverment offered 200 million vaccines of Astra to Taiwan why have they not vaccinated there entire population, and why are they offering the AstraZeneca to other Country's if there own countrymen & Woman cant recieve it in Thailand due to shortages. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was more asking about the 20 million Pfizer doses Thailand said was due here October (For the students?). Will that delivery now be delayed by the US govt order or is it stock they already hold and are redistributing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard Thailand is still negotiating with Pfizer for 20 million which they will be paying for. The US ones would be free if they get any. I think the October timeframe is for getting the first shipments of Moderna. I think they can probably get some Pifzer jabs much sooner than that once they make a deal and approve it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ask away, the answer is widely known and has been public knowledge since the agreement with AZ was signed months ago. AZ didn’t just randomly pick out Thailand for preferential treatment to get a vaccine facility and vaccines ahead of other countries in the region , part of the whole licensing arrangement is that Thailand is obligated to distribute a certain amount of vaccine production under AZ license regionally. Hope this clarifies for you... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasabi Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 The problem with our curent glorious leaders is they think they are not running a poor third world country and don't need programs like Covax. But that type of thinking is exactly what keeps them poor and third world. Because now they are in the back of the line trying to buy vaccines unavailable at any price. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You made a big song and dance about how the Pfizer vaccine "wasn't a US vaccine", despite the fact that I never mentioned Pfizer in my post (I link to your post below). The vaccine commonly known as "Johnson & Johnson" was developed by the Dutch company formerly known as Crucell, so that can't be a US vaccine. Going by your logic, the US only has 1 vaccine, Moderna, so your reference to "The US ones" is nonsense. Just about everything else you said is also wrong but I won't bother wasting any more keystrokes since you are too busy waving your flag around to listen. Remember saying that?

He's not talking about specific brands. The US said they will donate hundreds of millions of doses to COVAX program, which Thailand did not sign as the only country in SEA. Covax is the worldwide vaccination program which europe also donated billions of dollars too, but thailand was too arrogant to sign up to it unlike pretty much every other country. Thus he thinks Thailand won't get any of those shipments, due to its own arrogance. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
