PM calls for confidence in vaccines provided to citizens

[snoop1130]

 

BANGKOK (NNT) - The Prime Minister has called for confidence in the three brands of COVID-19 vaccine being supplied by the government as they are World Health Organization (WHO) approved and widely used.

 

Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha says they were acquired by the government for immunization of the nation against COVID-19. He said that the main AstraZeneca and Sinovac vaccines, as well as the alternative Sinopharm vaccine, were registered by the WHO and Thailand’s own Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) after being reviewed by physicians and epidemiologists for efficacy.

 

The PM added nonetheless that there are plans to bring in mRNA vaccines produced by Pfizer and Moderna, as well as viral vector varieties by Johnson & Johnson. He reiterated that inactivated virus vaccines can also effectively contend with COVID-19 symptoms and reduce the chances of fatality.

 

The PM went on to indicate that Gavi, the World Vaccine Alliance, which counts UNICEF among its members, plans to provide 60 million doses of Sinopharm and 50 million doses of Sinovac vaccines under the COVAX program to impoverished nations.

...except Thailand never joined COVAX, deciding to negotiate directly with producers...

 

“Acquiring the vaccines directly from the producers will be more flexible because we can decide how much we will buy and also negotiate pricing, which may lead to a cheaper price for large orders," - Bloomberg

 

...and now you are reduce to buying ineffective vaccines, calling for people to have "confidence" and begging anyone who will listen.

 

Fail.

I have confidence... I am confident those vaccines suck...

[Nojohndoe]

An attempt to avert panic in the face of the unknown ?

Given a public announcement that Sinovac presents  zero efficacy against the Delta variant but an unknown/undisclosed retained capacity to prevent serious disease coupled with scant immediate ability to procure alternatives that continue to boast comprehensive efficacy then what now?

On an international scale it seems that human nature and the grotesque component of generally selfish naive arrogance in belief in personal value is being demonstrated  as explicitly  FALSE !

Ambiguous, I think it's pretty clear Thai people are happy to take 2 x AZ shots but they don't want the Chinese stuff or a mix of AZ and the Chinese stuff, so what he means stop rejecting the Chinese vaccines.

 

Richard Barrow is reporting that people are walking out rather than take the mix on Samui saying they don't want to be guinea pigs.

We've seen the spreading power of the Delta variant in India UK, Indonesia and now Europe and USA . It will one day take hold in China then we'll see how that country's vaccines cope. 

[fusion58]

LOL.

 

Grandiose, magical thinking mofo thinks simply "calling" for something will make it materialize.

I order people to accept - job done

Back in May he called upon religious intervention,

BANGKOK — Temples across the country are ordered to chant a prayer every evening until the pandemic subsides, a spokesman of the national Buddhist authority said Tuesday.

That's gone well so far.

[RichardColeman]

I think the only way he could get any confidence in any Chinese gunk would be to turn the internet off for 6 months

[Laughing Gravy]

He could resign, as that would give people confidence but we all know that won't happen.

Explainer: Are Chinese COVID-19 shots effective against the Delta variant?

BEIJING, June 29 (Reuters) 

(Excerpt )- 'coping')

Guangdong, China's major manufacturing and export hub, became the country's biggest cluster of Delta cases since reporting its first locally transmitted Delta variant infection in May.

 

The Delta infections included 146 cases in Guangdong's capital Guangzhou and several cases from the southern tech hub of Shenzhen and nearby Dongguan city.

 

No new domestic transmissions of any variant have been reported in the province from June 22

From the article you posted

 

"DO CHINESE VACCINES WORK AGAINST DELTA?

 

China has not provided vaccine effectiveness results against the variant based on large-scale data in clinical trials or real-world use, nor offered detailed information from lab tests, but Chinese experts are urging people to get inoculated as soon as possible."

[jerrymahoney]

Absolutely. Right you are. You win. The question asked however was that Delta one day will take hold in China then we'll see how that country's vaccines cope. 

 

The article says how China coped. From Reuters not China Daily.

China is lying and hiding the truth as it always does. Everyone with a little bit of brain knows this. 

 

As for Reuters, China has been manipulating foreign media for years now. Look at what happened with their manipulation of the WHO. 

 

These silly reports from China are not more believable than the case numbers in Thailand with among the lowest testing rates in the world. 

[jerrymahoney]

Thank you. Your opinion is n noted.

"calls for confidence"

 

Next step: "orders confidence"

 

Next step: not sure how legally mandating a vaccination, especially of the useless kind, will go over?

 

Strange they haven't fired up the Attitude Adjustment Camps again?

 

 

If the regime appeared competent, had a plan, was executing on that plan, then a call for confidence would be appropriate.

 

However the regime appears to flailing, with mixed messaging on today's vaccine cocktail special. That the public is confused, and lacks confidence is hardly surprising.

 

Confidence is earned. It is not bestowed.

There seem to be two realities. Prayut's and the people's. Just looking at the people's they have no confidence in Prayut and want him gone and have no confidence in the Chinese juice and do not want it.

Having another one of those PM days ?

 

Confidence people, you need to have confidence in me !

Sure I would! I'd just replace that Sinovac dose for another Astra Zeneca... or maybe both of them for Moderna or Pfizer... or worst case, if I was only allowed to replace one, I'd swap it with J&J...

[Isaan sailor]

Apparently, the government of Malaysia has no more confidence in Sinovac.  They will use up the remaining Chinese vaccines, and switch over to Pfizer for the remainder of the vaccination program.  Why do they keep shoving Sinovac into us?

That counts out Aseans economic powerhouse then.

No freebies.

[Aussieroaming]

Anything produced in China will always have a bad reputation, just look at Covid 19. Sinovac needs to be re- branded and rolled out by a few local youtube and media influensa's.

[SooKee]

Sinovac is widely used eh?  Where exactly?

This telling lies never seems to stop from this "there will be no coup" self elected PM.
