Thailand: Migrants Plead For COVID Vaccines

 

“Lots of people started dying,” she told reporters. “Lots of my friends died. It spread very quickly and now many areas in Mae Sot are infected.”

The virus hit particularly close to home when Hnin Hnin’s friend and her fellow teacher fell ill due to COVID-19 in July. Her friend had tried to go to hospital when her condition deteriorated but was turned away - they said they did not have a bed for her. When she made attempts to call for aid to reach her house, no one came.

“She received no help from the Thai government,” Hnin Hnin said, adding that paramedics only respond to calls from Thai nationals. Hnin Hnin’s friend eventually died at home at the end of July.

Bangkok reopening delayed as figures for fully vaccinated must nearly double by October 15th

 

Thailand’s reopening to foreign tourism amid a continued COVID-19 outbreak is sending a signal that the government is determined to push forward on a pledge given by the Prime Minister in June. However, it is clear that this is not foreign tourism as we had known it before the pandemic and neither will it be accompanied by anything like the same figures despite modest signs of improvement in Phuket.

The re-opening of Bangkok has been postponed until mid-October following a high-level meeting on Wednesday as efforts are being made to allocate more vaccines to the city where only 37% of the population is, as yet, fully vaccinated.

From CCSA spokesman just tweeted

 

What is the process of "Vaccine Swap" and which country is Thailand working with? •It is an agreement between two parties, when one country wishes to obtain vaccines from another, which has surplus vaccine, and return it later when there is enough vaccine in the country. (1/2)

 

•Thailand has signed a vaccine swap with Bhutan involving 150,000 doses of AstraZeneca and is continuously negotiating for vaccine swap with other countries such as Singapore, Australia, Japan, US, Canada and the Republic of Korea. (2/2)

Trying too jab there they out of Covid, running out of ideas now I think, let’s try a third jab then a fourth like they are doing in Israel.

They're not doing a fourth jab in Israel (not yet, anyway).

 

They are simply making contingency plans for the eventuality.

Israel is making preparations to ensure it has sufficient vaccine supply in case a fourth round of Covid-19 shots is needed.

Good article, sort of journalism the Thai government doesn't want released, the truth of the  treatment of Asian migrant workers and refugee's.
