Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 Thailand’s COVID-19 vaccine procurements are expected to be expedited as more agencies will be involved in the joint effort, according to the Centre for COVID-19 Situation Administration (CCSA)’s new announcement streamlining the management of COVID-19 vaccines in the country. The announcement, which was published in the Royal Gazette on Tuesday, is to ensure access to the vaccines by at least 70% of the country’s population, or 50 million people, and aimed at solving the host of problems which have beset the management of vaccines, which has come under heavy criticism from opposition parties, critics and the public. The problems range from the monopolistic nature of vaccine procurement by the government, while the private sector is barred from importing vaccines, the limitation of current vaccines used of only AstraZeneca and Sinovac, the slow approval of new vaccines, to delayed deliveries of vaccines and reprioritization of vaccine distribution, resulting in postponements of inoculation appointments in several provinces.

Popular Post Boomer6969 Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 A whole new concept to me: to speed up decision making add redundant decision makers to decision making process. Amazing Thailand. My preferred solutions be that the vaccine manufacturers hire advisors from the international sales team of arms makers to give them a crash induction on backhanders. In my younger years at UN even food for the refugee camps had to benefit somehow to the generals mia nois. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Artisi Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 Easiest solution to increase the amount of vaccines available is the get rid of the cr#p procurement system currently used by this useless government. Simply place sufficient orders with the vaccine manufacturers - can't be all that difficult - but guess the problem in placing a large number of orders is controlling the book keeping entries of the brown envelopes. 16 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post brommers Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 Changing the procurement system is not goingbto make much sense when there are no vaccines available to buy! This country is so far behind even Cambodia & Venezuela that it is a total laughing stock.

Popular Post jojothai Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 How is this going to improve things? The more agencies involved, is it not going to take longer. Something was wrong with the original strategy. That finally seems to be very clear, despite all the warnings. Is this perhaps aimed at sharing the responsibilities benefits to get cooperation and stop others complaining? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Excel Posted June 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 9, 2021 The fundamentals of this change are simple. More agencies involved means more kick backs. Expediting the vaccines for the people is a minor consideration the most important is rewarding those that tow the governments line in the continuing indoctrination experiment by those that control this country. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ronaldo0 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I can hear the fake labs being set up as I write . They will suddenly have millions available they bought somewhere and basically they will be vials full of nothing more than water, but the selling samples submitted for government test before purchase will be real . If you remember the bomb detectors they bought then this is a certainty ! ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, don't forget us up here in Laos ... we could chose from 2 vaccines which one we wanted, we could walk in or register at any vaccine center, falangs treated the same as Lao people, everything for free ... you could call the vaccine team to come to your factory or office if there were enough people to justify it, and many people like myself are due our 2nd AZ jab so that's 3 months ++ that this has been going on !

Problem solved. Yes, Lazada has so much experience in delivering stuff at -80C, and nobody would even think of selling saline water ampules and claiming it's COVID vaccine on Lazada.... Also, if you buy it yourself, why would you need Soi 4 gals to administer it? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtls2005 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Fianlly, some urgency? Let's see how effective they are, and how long it lasts. That said, we're told vaccine makers will not sell directly to private concerns, even those with a history like Zuilleg Pharma. So this gazetting was simply a response to "complaints" about the waiver self-granted by the CRA/Sinopharm deal. The Kingdom should, instead, gazette indemnification for any vaccine which has been issued Emergency Use authroization by the Thai FDA. Allow Pfizer say, which a long history here, to sell (and import obviously) vaccines directly to any authorized company which wishes to purchase them. And fine, if the GPO wants their "cut", give it to them, but they need to stay out of the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In June 2021, with Thailand ranking 134th among reporting countries in vaccine distribution (Source: BBC News), that kind of damage is not repaired quickly, easily, or cheaply. A significant portion of the damage will almost certainly be permanent. When the "take away" line is "Bangladesh has done better," you know that gross mismanagement and political malpractice will hobble this country and its people for DECADES. And it is very, very sad, because it didn't have to happen that way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtls2005 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 30 minutes ago, clivebaxter said: where are all the AZ millions meant to be produced here? We've been told that initially there were 2 MM doses (referred to as 1.8 MM and 200 K separately), but no provenance. Could be some are locally produced, some airlifted from South Korea. More (locally produced?) are due next week, and by the end of the month. Seen these referred to as ~ 2 MM each, so 4 MM in the next 20 days. At the current run rate they need at least 2 MM per week, but they can use Sinovac I guess. 10 MM due next month, and each month through the end of the year, maybe 5 MM in Dec? Deliveries of AZ from THL to Malaysia and the Philippiness are said to be delayed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guderian Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Our beloved Covid Czar must have been getting a lot of complaints from his minions that, since he'd taken all Covid-related powers for himself, they were unable to skim any cream off the top of vaccine procurement, storage and distribution contracts for themselves. So he's finally relented and will allow them to get a piece of the remaining action, but it's a sure bet that Mr. P.'s retirement fund is looking very healthy indeed by now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
