And neither Pfizer or Moderna may end up being the panacea a lot of people think they are. Even when they get here, six months to a year from now.

new and deadlier strains will be around by then

50 million more doses of Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and an unspecified amount of Moderna vaccine are likely to be purchased by Thailand

Have you noticed an ongoing refrain in all of these posts regarding the procurement of vaccines.  Words like " are likely" or government given "authorization to procure" or "in negotiations to purchase"  

The only announcements that should be newsworthy and are important are the ones that say 1. The vaccines have arrived  2. the vaccines have been distributed and 3. people can sign up to receive their vaccine.  The rest is all just a kabuke dance.  Meant to entertain us.

“are LIKELY to be purchased”

perhaps, maybe, imaginable, anticipated, plausible, possibly, could… 

After the release of the leaked AZ memo yesterday, it would appear the Minister is in search of some spin press without actually committing to anything. 
 His actions are literally the inverse of the “Midas touch”

[grandpa]

Add these to the stockpile of all those other billion promised doses of vaccine which were allegedly "ordered" without ever contacting the manufacturers or signing a contract!

i imagine if Anutin ever did run for PM , and he won, then you would know there is serious election fiddling in a national vote

[tomacht8]

Unfortunately only hot air and a lot of talk. Of this actually realized and set on a realistic time axis = zero. If in a job in the private business sector, these morons wouldn't even survive the first day of the probationary period.

[tomacht8]

The national leadership is apparently not able to organize the necessary amount of vaccine to order for the population. There are tons of people involved, who are trumpeting numbers, vaccine brands and time periods. No internal coordination, no management, no clear communication. Creepy.

When was the last time there wasn’t  serious election fiddling in a national vote?

 

20 years of observing elections in Thailand and yet to see one that didn’t have a lot of fraud going on. 

[TheFishman1]

A year and a half and now he wants to arrange a meeting give me a break this whole roll out and everything the government is saying it’s very sad I just want to get the job have a good stuff and I’m unable toReceive it more talk TIT

[tomacht8]

If you look at all the vaccine announcements of the last month, and the large number of responsible people and organizations , the question arises whether anyone in the country's leadership has a reliable overview of which vaccine will be delivered, when and in what quantity. The population is left in the dark. A real communication disaster.

[Pedrogaz]

Please cease and desist from all this coronavirus vaccine expected news. Put a note in when some has actually arrived in the country......save bandwidth.

Thank God...finally.... a definite maybe.

How many times have we heard this? First Months of committee meetings then months of negotiations with Pfizer and Moderna. If they ever end up ordering it will be Jan or Feb of 2022. Then you go to the back of the line because you waited to long. Second or third Q of 2022 delivery 

[Dogmatix]

We are still expecting the first 20m Pfizer and 5m Moderna to be ordered but nothing has happened except idle talk so far.

[club]

Great timing. Day after protesters call for the PM Head. 

[Rookiescot]

If the companies even have some vaccine to sell.

The rest of the world has been ordering this stuff since the pandemic broke so I imagine the manufacturers will already have a huge number of orders to fill.

 

[Srikcir]

If I said that Covid 19 Czar Prayut is "likely" to resign over him and his government's failure to timely vaccinate the public to avoid deaths and injury, would that be as believable?

[joskeshake]

In which year? 

[steven100]

Khun Prayut Chan O Cha has probably stepped in and told Anutin to get some vaccines and get them quickly.

I expect that's what has happened.

That's the amazing part, how Thailand can order without signing a contract

[clivebaxter]

Somewhere over the rainbow, have they signed the Moderna order yet for the 5 mil or is that still next months major task? Could they be dragging their feet hoping for the home made Chula vaccine?

Cant stop Laughing!!!!!!!  Will post later

Na even Anutin knows he needs Vaccines, this is just another PR release to make it look as if they are doing something, how many millions on order now? I lost count
