Public health minister gives moral support to embattled Dr. Yong Poovorawan

[webfact]

 

Public Health Minister Anutin Charnvirakul has given moral support to Dr. Yong Poovorawan, head of Chulalongkorn University’s Centre of Excellence in Clinical Virology, who is under pressure by an online campaign for his removal from the centre over his support of government vaccination policies without sufficient medical evidence.

 

Mr. Anutin told the media at the Public Health Ministry on Tuesday that he called Dr. Yong on the phone to give the latter his moral support, saying that the campaign for his removal is very unfair.

 

During the brief conversation, he said he felt Dr. Yong remains unperturbed and unwavering in wake of the signature campaign in the social media against him and will continue to do his job to give medical information to the people.

Blow the whistle and clap the clappers at yong.

 

Junta-hugger.

I’m not sure what the public expect from Dr Yong. Isn’t power consolidated with the czar? And before that Anutin?

 

Yong may or may not be any good, I don’t know much about him,  but most if not all of the imbecilic decisions don’t seem to be his

Independence, transparency, scientific methodology, hard truths, honesty.

 

Instead he spouts whatever the regime's "policy du jour" happens to be.

 

Sycophant. Taody. Obsequious. All come to mind.

Why should Yong take any of the heat?

 

 

[Caldera]

The embattled public health minister gives moral support to the embattled government shill doctor. No surprises there.

[DirtyHarry55]

He is head of Chulalongkorn University’s Virology department and making ridiculous claims on the performance of the Sinovac vaccine

so yea he should step down even if to only save the reputation of Thailand's top medical University.
 

[poskat]

of course two guys who both get told "now get up there and just say this..." would support each other.

While the RCPT are asking Prayut to secure real vaccines.

I'd have refused the call once I'd seen it was clown jester on the other end .. and is it not like a kiss of death getting bigged up by Anutin .. 

[lavender19]

He's on his way out then if he's got Anuters support.

They just keep denying the fact that everyone has had enough of their lies and B$

The dude is Thailand's Fauci.  He placed himself next to the fire.  If you don't like the heat man, don't jump into the lime-light.  I feel nothing for this guy.  He got more than his 15 minutes of fame.  I'm tired of seeing his face and hearing the canned rhetoric.  Obviously I'm not the only one.  ????
