Government mulls amnesty bill to protect “medical officials” from legal consequences

[BobinBKK]

The government is pondering an amnesty bill that would grant medical officials connected with fighting Covid, legal protection against criminal charges to enable government operations/government officials to deal with the Covid situation. Also, the bill will allow the officials to make “tough decisions” sans legal consequences, says Thai government officials.

 

I see our hero is in the news yet once again, but the “Move Forward Party” alleges that such laws are essentially legal “get out jail free cards” when it comes to prosecution for top officials such as the Prime Minister… And the health minister. The MFP also claims that such a law uses medical officials as straw men to hide the fact that it’s the top government officials who want to avoid legal consequences.

this law to protect medics and just a cover and back door, to get amnesty for the government goons who botched vax program.

In that packaged, sweetened form, they have chance to push it through, avoiding popular back clash.

 

the secondary reason are court cases, when patients were left at homes to die, without giving even basic covid help (and this is happening already for several months across the country)
