At this point in time, things can only get better.

Granted, the initial planning and organisation was completely mangled in politics - it's coming along, though. Slow but sure. 

 

Most Thais that I know - family, extended family, close friends, neighbors, etc have had their first jab - from 4/5 weeks ago. 

 

 

Out here in rural Kamphaeng Phet I only know of 3 people who have been vaccinated. An 85 year old Aussie, his wife and her mother and all 3 were given Sinovac.

from a slow start they have caught up with and overtaken the uk, which has a similair sized population, that truly is an excellent job as the uk was one of the most efficient vaccinators in the world. i'm sure we're going to see the international media reporting all about this stunning achievement in due course.

 

well done thailand.

Do you have any links, reports etc to back up your claim? Otherwise it is only your word and your opinion, which, in my opinion is totally incorrect. Links similar to these for the UK.

Over 600,000 jabs yesterday. 
 

Fantastic effort by all the front line staff. More than the UK managed on any single day I believe even with the Army, volunteers, etc. 
 

Not quite, 844,000 in one day for UK

Herd immunity 80% needed. With the numbers we getting plus adding the 12-18 we are looking at Songkran 2022 IF nothing goes wrong. Key is to fill the pockets first. Vaccine price Europe 2 shots 1500 baht - Thailand 3000-4000 baht. Nice margin 

That is about as absurd as the claims that Thailand was handling the so-called pandemic fantastically when other countries were struggling last year. Many people bought into that nonsensical propaganda far and wide, so I suppose he figures that people will fall for this too....

Yes I see that now back in March. 
 

The rollout in the UK has been first class from start to finish. If the Thais can get anywhere near that level they would have done well.

Caught up with and overtook the UK!!?? What planet are you living on?
 

He is living in a bubble on another planet where the information is carefully filtered to make sure he hears what he wants to believe.

The man is delusional that's all I can say.

As is the rest of this so called 'government',

We all know that Health Minister Anutin is an engineer and not a doctor, so somebody needs to explain to him that vaccinated means administering 2 doses. The total to date for 2 doses is 4.4M, Thailand has a population of ~70M, so they have only vaccinated 6% of the total population, which is hardly well on the way!!!

INN made absolutely no attempt to fact-check these claims, notes ASEAN NOW. 

Now there's a shocker!

Ssshhhh don’t be giving good news otherwise you will buck the trend. 
 

Negative, glass half empty only please. Thank you. 

I feel very sad to have to post such good news I desperately want to be accepted by the community but it is very difficult to maintain persistent negativity on everything Thai. I hope I will be forgiven eventually, community have mercy on me please. Unfortunately I have more good news her second vaccination is booked for 27th August 2021 (2 weeks time)

If they knew they were submitting to an experimental medical treatment that didn't go through animal testing, they would not be so eager. 

come on , be fair... the Sinovac and the Sinopharm were extensively tested on the Uighurs, and nowhere near all of them died.......

Ah well. Another one to block, so that I don't waste my time seeing their nonsense. Third thread I've seen his same 'approach' to topics.

There's an old newspaper line that " the duty of the newspapers is to comfort the afflicted and to afflict the comfortable."

 

If you change 'comfortable' to 'self-righteous' on here that would fit. And if you have enough time to read and remember 3 of my posts, your time must not be that valuable.

Anutin claimed that Thailand was well on the way to the target of achieving 70% of the population vaccinated and further asserted that every province now has vaccine.

That's  a very subjective statement to make.. depends on which perspective you're looking from.

Well Anutin ! Your time is a complete waste of time, as you seem incapable of these tasks assigned to you as then Health Minister. You are just not delivering on your remit.

Time for you to take a vocational change, and maybe find some employment that you will be capable of doing well.

Good luck with that.

Well on its way?  According to what metric?  Before the year 2024?  1 % vaccinated each month?

they did 1% of the population in one day this week, in fact on 2 days they achieved over 600,000 jabs, i would think that at a guess 30% of the population have been one jabbed

No vaccines that l know of in Pattaya.!!!!!

Looks like Thailand's next PM will either be a farang-hating incompetent, or a former jailbird. Oh dear...

uk has jabed 90% of adults and theres still 30000 cases a day cos of unvacinated refusenics,

most in hospital are unjabbed folks

With near as damn it 90% of all adults vaccinated that just seems unlikely.... where do you get data on this?

That's great news.

All lockdowns / closures finished by the end of August. Book your holidays.

Could be that someone has been smoking dodgy weed though.

It could be said to be typical of the ruling caste, although Anutin goes way beyond that.

 

It is Thailand's tragedy that the caste who seem to have an immovable grip on power behave like this, and as it becomes more obvious and recognised internationally will cause the country to sink further towards third world status.

Is 70% of the total population the most important thing?  I think 100% of the old and frail should be the goal. What is worse 20,000 cases of Covid for people under 30 or 200 cases in people over 80?
