PHUKET: Phuket Governor Narong Woonciew has requested that Phuket be provided vaccine doses to vaccinate children from 3 years old through age 17.

 

The request came in two official letters sent yesterday (Sept 28), one addressed to the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Public Health, the other sent to the Ministry of Education.

 

In the letters, Governor Narong pointed out that Phuket was initially allocated Sinovac to vaccinate its residents in order to reopen the province to tourists under the Phuket Sandbox scheme, and allocated AstraZeneca to use as ‘booster’ shots to counter the spread of the Delta variant of the virus across the island.

Another lunatic who wants to play God and Health minister at the same time without ANY scientific data for his claim... just out for 5 minutes of fame...

The same governor... has just signed an order to lift the ban on alcohol in restaurants !

 

Vaccine for babies. Beer for adults.

 

It makes perfectly sense. ????

 

More seriously  ; the virtue signalling race has started...

 

Wait for the next governor who will ask for vaccination of babies 6 months old....

RKI in germany puplished for 2020:

 

Group of under 20 year age which are more then 15 million children had only 11 fatalities and 68 in icu. 

 

For me it doesn't make sense to vaccinate them. Vaccinate risk groups and this one who want it this make sense.
