Government urged to try harder to procure sufficient vaccine for the Thai people

[webfact]

 

The Royal College of Physicians of Thailand (RCPT) is urging the government to try harder and faster to procure sufficient, quality vaccines, including alternatives, to inoculate people in Thailand, to build herd immunity as quickly as possible.

 

RCPT Chairman Dr. Anutra Chittinandana said today (Tuesday) that, in light of the current COVID-19 pandemic, which is seeing a continuing surge of new infections, the board of the RCPT has found it necessary to issue a second position statement on the issue of vaccines.

 

In the statement, issued today, the RCPT is urging the government to procure quality vaccines, of all makes, which are efficacious against mutated coronavirus, to be administered to the population, especially to those who are yet to receive their first dose.

Where has anything ever been done harder and faster in Thailand when it comes to Government work and bureaucracy.  Slow and steady is how things are done just like the vaccine rollout without any expediency.  However, I know that when I get a certain urge I get on top of it and work harder and faster, but that is a different type of work I would suppose. ????

The latest innovation is jelly vaccine, injected through the olive green needle.

Which effectively means just about everybody in the country right now as the numbers currently jabbed are almost negligible.

Yes Prayut are you listening? Probably not, you in your twisted little mind think you are doing a good job, as fast as you possibly can.

Well maybe you think that but nobody else does.

Royal college of Physicians are basically telling you to.... get your bloody finger out.

[NCC1701A]

Yup. Those two countries have got bogged down in the lockdown trap.
 

Lockdowns were never a solution, just a mechanism for slowing the virus while the solution gets jabbed into people’s arms. Both are throwing away the advantage they gained by being good at lockdowns, by not quickly transitioning to the next phase

Reminds me of a slogan of some Fast Food chain: Got the urge, go to BKk. Or something similar like that... ????

Pretty much because, the government didn't seem to accomplish much in the way of improving Thailand's sorry CV vaccine situation in the wake of their FIRST plea for action...

 

[Soikhaonoiken]

I think most people are thinking exactly the same what the Royal College of Physicians are saying, but the PM won't be listening, as he never ever listen to sensible advice....

Why isn't Phuket on their list they were 70% Last Friday and last Saturday 80% they would be at the top of the list.

Nice. Over a year late.

The Antipodean politicians are too busy bragging about what a great job they've done about covid to bother with minor details like vaccinating their populations.

 

Never mind, they are only about a year behind the other western nations.

If you were to look at the figures for covid infections & deaths in Oz & NZ, you might have a better understanding of why they have been a bit slow on the vaccinations. Being remote islands is helpful.

 

Quite apart from the EC stealing millions of AZ doses early on that were destined for Oz ...

Even Cambodia have achieved 45% or better.

I know how impressive the covid stats are for Aus and NZ, well done ????

 

But I'm not sure it entirely justifies the sluggish vaccination roll-out in the southern hemisphere

The hint was obvious.

[Nanaplaza666]

He and his are vaccinated and he doesn't give a flying !@#$ about the rest. Tell a Thai to do one thing and they will do the exact opposite . So maybe it will work better if they tell him to slow down or do nothing at all maybe that will start him up this dumb useless peace of human being .

I think your info is out dated. And for a real comparison they need to not lump countries with the population of a medium size metro area (Iceland , Estonia, etc.) with really larger countries. 

[cyril sneer]

I think they’re being deliberately slow until brown envelopes are received.

 

The process then speeds up. That’s how it works for everything else.

Things that everybody ought to know about Thailand's numbers and statistics.

1. No Thai 'spokesperson' actually knows the reality of the figures or statistics that they quote. They're handed numbers which have been prepared by somebody else.

2. When a Thai 'spokesperson' isn't given any figures or statistics, they make them up, trying to sound as optimistic as possible.

3. The people who compile the figures or statistics for the Thai 'spokespeople' usually believe that they are accurate, even though they know nothing much about figures or statistics. These figures or statistics are usually ordered to be biased for effect and are frequently inaccurate.

4. Often the people who compile the figures or statistics couldn't care less, as they will be handing the figures or statistics on to somebody else and there's no way of proving them right or wrong, so they just make them up.

 

CONCLUSION: Absolutely no figures or statistics produced or stated by a Thai 'spokesperson' are accurate and can be believed, even if they genuinely think that they are.

[PEE TEE]

There is a massive number of people in Thailand who are anti vaccine or frighten of having it.  . I wonder if it will made compulsory 

[spidermike007]

The government is urged to try harder, period.

 

You guys are very unimpressive. You just do not seem to take this national emergency seriously. 

 

You just do not seem to take your population seriously. 

 

You just do not seem to take the expat community seriously. 

 

You just do not seem to take the concept of hiring the best and the brightest and the most competent, and the most experienced seriously. 

 

The only thing you guys seem to take seriously, is yourselves. And nobody else does. Maybe never, but certainly not at this point. 

[BestB]

Sinovac would appear to be out . AZ incapable of producing enough, where they gonna get more and fast ? Especially when you have Anutin in charge
