Very interesting article from the asiasentinel. So much truth that the author must remain anonymous.

Asked about the companies' denial, Boon later insisted a vaccine deal was still in the works, saying: "We are not doing it directly." He declined to elaborate.

"Dog ate my homework " sounds more credible. Massive loss of face with a dozen eggs rubbed in too.

mass COVID-19 vaccinations program

To call it that is ridiculous. More like "minimal COVID-19 vaccinations program"

Will the Chairman of Thonburi Healthcare Group be charged under the computer crimes act of spreading false news which led to his companies shares rising? Or is the act only used against those opposing the government?

Clowns !

I say he gets charged and prosecuted   for spreading false news. Need to make example of him

We are not in negotiations with the company," BioNTech said in an e-mail responding to a Reuters query about the deal. It also denied it was in negotiations with any Thai entity.

Says it all.

UK also I think..............

 

"You don’t need to prove your identity, your address or your immigration status to access the vaccine. You will not have to pay for your vaccination."

https://www.london.gov.uk/coronavirus/how-get-vaccine/getting-covid-vaccine-if-you-are-not-registered-gp

The UK yes, but you need a visit of about 10 weeks.
initial isolation then first dose. 6 to 11 days to get out.

8 weeks to second dose (the UK has now clamped down on the clinics doing any earlier)
At least one week to get COE preapproval, then bookings, then COE from Thai embassy.

My wife and son also flew into LAX. Took 25 minutes to deplane, go through imigration, get bags, and clear customs. No questions regarding Covid test or health insurance. Vaccine available at airport, CVS or Walgreens. No cost for vaccine or Covid tests. 

Hefty deposit paid to Pfizer (Nigeria) Inc.

No quarantine, You can fly into PDX (Portland) and be vaccinated at the Airport. It is the hoops jumping to return here that will be a pain unfortunately.

Do you need a visa to enter the US, back a while I believe a visa was needed to enter the US and for US citizens to enter Austrailia. Maybe it has changed since my son travelled there.

Same in Canada... and same in my birth country Serbia. They even gave it to Albanians free of charge.

Now we can't even get to the "thinking about placing an order" phase.

 

We're at the "Company issues denials about a deal" phase.

 

I'd say this couldn't get more ridiculous, but I know I'd be wrong.

 

The government has said they plan to think about forming a committee to look into drafting a proposal to consider buying 20 MM doses of Pfizer.

Thailand is in the early stages of it's ****MASS**** vaccination program, well you could fit all those vaccinated "so far" into an ancient red Bangkok bus! These people would do "brain surgery wearing boxing gloves and using chop sticks!

He's a VIP of sorts, so is exempt from prosecution.

Self appointed ?

Thailand has got itself into a mess because of policy errors. Too much interest in controlling vaccine supply (to maximise profit and clawbacks), not enough in the health of the nation. Meanwhile the pandemic rages, daily cases increase and many die. 

Reminds me of Cuba in the 1950s. Where's Fidel when we need him?

Australians do not need a visa for a short visit, but need to get an online ESTA authorization prior to travel:

Don't look into it do it.

 

And if you really must have a committee restrict the numbers (seven ? nine ?) to accelerate the decision-taking; no crowds of 30+ round the table to agree how important the issue is and resolve to hold another meeting to discuss further. The matter is both important and urgent: it demands quick decisions.

Massive loss of face.... every single day.

There was a mention of having Russia's " Sputnik V " that by all accounts has the least side effects , or does political bias stand in the way because it is Russian . I have little doubt that Sputnik V would be more readily available than other vaccines . I am not thinking to be vaccinated , but if pressed would accept Sputnik V . I live in a big rural village , all the many government officers and teachers were summoned for vaccination and only 3 were vaccinated .

I'm in the US. The article is brutal and says what everyone knows about incompetence and corruption, but I'll refrain from posting it here.
