BANGKOK, July 14 (TNA) – Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha does not oppose the idea of inoculating people against COVID-19 with different kinds of vaccines in series, according to the government spokesman.

 

Anucha Burapachaisri said the prime minister wanted the fastest vaccination for people, especially for elderly ones and those suffering chronic diseases.

 

Regarding a proposal on the mixed use of different vaccines for the first and second jabs, the government spokesman said, the priority was the fastest inoculation for as many people as possible because the Delta variant of COVID-19 was easily transmissible and was spreading rapidly.

IN this case Thai's are "lab rats" not "guinea pigs". Not same same...

The W.H.O does not seem too keen on that idea....

But does oppose freedom, democracy, the end of feudal serfdom and the re distribution of wealth!

PM Doesn’t Oppose Mixing Jabs

 

That's good to know...as I'm sure he's eminently qualified to give us his views on immunology and virology.

PM Doesn’t Oppose Mixing Jabs

 

 

Sez the guy who got two AZ shots, early on.

 

 

And his medical qualifications are what, exactly?

 

 

PM should focus on get vaccine's in country and leave thinking to people who have some kind diploma (even from cereals box) from medicine!

But he knows that Sinovac , is rubbish ,and he takes this

stance to save face, The Health minister ,is very quiet,

but it's nothing to do with him,or so he says.

Thaksin said on TV this morning, let the PM and all his cronies be the first with a booster shot of a different vaccine.

This is great news. I was getting concerned by all the reports saying it wasn't proven to be safe yet. But now Prayut has confirmed that he doesn't oppose it (for other people of course, not him) then I'm completely reassured. 

Lardy flatulent generals first of course

Totally irresponsible statement to make from a health spokesperson, they now realise the folly of their ways and the Chinese fluid is not up to the job - Well done A-nut-in

did he hang his MD diploma on the wall already?

Firm hand at the tiller.

Let's  hope he's  on time........

So the oracle of all is still alive and kicking, where would Thailand be without his wisdom and guidance?

 

Delusional, narcissistic, dangerous.....

 

I wonder why those words spring to mind whenever the little green man makes one of his pronouncements?

Which is why he blocked the purchasing of vaccines?

Gee I am relieved.  That's so reassuring.

Coming from someone who does not know the time of day its hardly comforting

Hard to be opposed to mixing something you don't even have in large quantities.

The prime minister did not intend to suspend mix-and-match vaccines and all concerned parties should listen to the stance of the National Communicable Disease Committee on the matter of vaccine combination and take careful consideration, Mr Anucha said.

 

Don't think the statement that he doesn't oppose mixing jabs was correct. More like he is washing his hands off this subject and shove the responsibility to the NCDC. He is no leader for sure.

Reminds of the young bobby running away from the riots when he bumped into a higher rank who asked......

 

"where are you going"?

 

The bobby said "sorry sergeant" 

 

"I'm an Inspector not a sergeant".

 

"Whoops sorry sir....didn't realize I had run that far back".

There you have it now lads, from the horse's mouth. I'm just glad nobody brought up the awkward question of "When are the rest of us getting our first jab?"

Who misspeaks again? WHO!

 

WHO's Chief Scientist Dr. Soumya Swaminathan advised against mixing manufacturers claiming there was no evidence or data to support it. But this is not quite true. So far everything suggests it's not only safe but very advantageous.

She was probably taken out of context or misspoke.  She herself warned July 9 that  the pandemic was not slowing and boosters are needed to fight new variants. A Reuters Corrected Update suggests she may have referred to individuals making they own decisions.

 

Its unfortunate if her comments are taken out of context as a down vote for combining vaccines.

 

There has also been pushback on her comments.

PM Doesn’t Oppose Mixing Jabs

So politicians have now become Medical Experts who will now authorize medical procedures? 

I thought this day would come.  We're here!
