Popular Post webfact Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 Picture: Sanook Sanook quoted the IT expert and spokesman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as saying that the ministry were working hard all over the world to secure vaccine deals. Thanee Saengrat said that his chief Don Pramudwinai - minister and DMP - had ordered embassies and consulates throughout the globe to make representations to get more vaccine. This was being done in China, the USA, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia and Russia. He also spoke of vaccine swap deals with several countries including one with Bhutan. Under these deals Thailand gets vaccine now and pays it back later. Thailand is also finally preparing to join the Covax scheme and payments have been made to the WHO to facilitate this. Thailand has been widely criticised for not joining the scheme earlier - something done by several other countries in the Asian region that has aided their vaccine rollouts, notes ASEAN NOW.

Popular Post law ling Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 "to make representations to get more vaccine" ... I'd have thought the more certain, and better, approach would be to just order vaccines from the manfacturers (albeit that will put you at the end of the queue). "make representations" sounds like beg, borrow or steal ... it might work, might not ... meanwhile more time runs by. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeaMike01 Posted August 21, 2021 Share Posted August 21, 2021 Everyone says that they know who to blame for this mess, but the Thai people (other than a few scattered students) have decided not to do anything about it.

Some even suggest too greedy, imagine a few chewchow hounds and master hop to get a new monopoly on a regualr expensive necessity, lucky noblesse oblige and rich important people are standing back so the poor and old the halt and lame of any nationality esp their servants get protected before fit rich folks.It is as Jesus and the Lord Buddha taught. Sir Philip Sydney was described as the greatest Englishman, fatally wounded at the battle of Zutphen he donated his water to a poor footsoldier with the immortal words "HIS NEED IS GREATER THAN MINE". .Same courage as Bunker Hill, Stalingrad or Gallipoli this is what distinguishes our humanity form vultures. Interesting what statues are erected says a lot of about the grip of history. Edited August 21, 2021 by RubbaJohnny 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Dont confuse me Posted August 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2021 The morons running the country were (as always) too busy working out how to skim a little from the coffers to actually do the job they are paid to do!
