Scott Tracy Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I consider this a good kick in the teeth for the Thai government. They can't do it, so the French embassy has to step up. Come.on the rest of the western world, do the same. The Thai government cannot even get a website to work properly to permit foreigners booking a slot that gets postponed or cancelled. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now a change of tune completely. Two months ago, a man representing French people in the region sent us a message, telling there was a discution between the EU embassies in Bangkok, to vaccinate their own citizens ( this man worked with the embassy ) for some reason, discution aborted , maybe the other embassies didn't want to do it ; have you any information about it ?

Easy, import the vaccine and pay Thai hospitals to administer it. I will gladly pay for both the vaccine and a cover charge for the Thai hospital.

SooKee Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Be interesting to know if the French government is doing the same for other countries. If not, it's perhaps a clear indication of how much of a clusterf**k they consider it to be here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mberbae Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Pure Politics, plain and simple. No Western vaccine was allowed in so as not to compete with other " projects " in the pipeline. Now that the cat is out of the bag, wiser minds see that it is wiser to bring in vaccines with a high efficacy rating than roll the dice with a 50/50 Sinovac vaccine that no one wants, or an iffy Astrazeneca that many countries have yet to Greenlight.

DogNo1 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 In an article in the local post today, two Thai doctors said that they think that the Indian Variant will be dominant here in a few months. That will be sooner than October when Moderna vaccinations will be available locally. I will observe to see if vaccinations become available for Americans over 60 before the end of July. If not, I'll be on a flight out to California never to return. Not that anybody will care except me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post My POV Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 The US has so much oversupply of Johnson and Johnson that they are having a hard time giving it away.

domdom Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Hello, Just receive a mail from BPH saying the service will be offered ONLY from June 30th till July 7th.. So, hurry up !! Maybe some doses remaining on 7th would be given to people appearing and applying..they did it in France vaccinating unauthorized people rather than wasting doses..
