So British Airways suspended all direct flights to Bangkok cuz it's too safe?

 

The BALLS on this guy! Wealthy rat seems fitting.

Nothing to do with Covid "safety", suspending direct flights was a commercial decision, BA still has flights to Bangkok!

I believe that the biggest majority of ordinary Thai people have similar views to spidermike. If there was a general election tomorrow with no corruption involved, the unelected soldier posing as a PM and his generals would be out on their necks.

Nothing to do with quality of the vaccines Anutin had . Check your facts before you spout .

So why was he denied a visa? Nothing to do with the fact that the vaccines that he had taken were not acceptable/good enough for him to be granted one for that particular conference/country?

If Switzerland was concerned about the quality of Sinovac and Sinopharm why do they list them as approved vaccines for entry to the country just as Pfizer, Moderna AZ, J&J, etc. are similarly approved?

Correct. 

Correct, it was nothing to do with the quality of his vaccinations being unacceptable.

Correct. 

So, pray tell - why was he denied entry? The fact that 2 Sinovac and one booster of Astrazeneca were not deemed "sufficient"  would seem to indicate that:-

(a)  One or the other is lacking in "quality", or

(b) The Minister of Health for Thailand should have known the requirements before travelling.

Why don't you just search the requirements for entry into Switzerland and then stop promulgating the false assertion that Switzerland considers the Sino vacs as "insufficient" for entry or "lacking in quality"?

 

As for why he didn't go, ask him, no one here will know the reason for that but it's easy for everyone here to check if Switzerland has approved Sinovac and Sinopharm.

Yes it was.

 

You think he forgot his passport.

 

Jeeez.

Jeez...no, it wasn't.  It's very easy to check which vaccines Switzerland has approved, why don't you try it?!

Most vaccinated with far better stuff than the rubbish he was so proud to use here from China .

Has he contracted, been hospitalised or died from Covid as a result of receiving Sinovac?  No, obviously, he hasn't, neither have millions of others. 

 

Have thousands died after being vaccinated by the "far better stuff" that you refer to?  Er, yes.    

 

So much for your "rubbish" vaccine claim.

Sorry multi Quote not working / allowing input

 

For above quoted posts about Anutins vaccine quality.........

 

Public Health Minister barred entry to Switzerland over vaccine requirements

 

 

Thailand's Health Minister denied entry to Switzerland for WHO meet after vax with Sinovac

 

But he was forced to admit that he couldn't go to Europe until he got a fourth booster shot and that this will have to be an option for others who needed to travel for business and leisure purposes.

Neither of those links state that Sinovac was not approved, or of dubious quality, as so many posters are trying to say.  The links refer to the mix of vaccines after the AZ booster as not being acceptable.    Sinovac is fully approved by Switzerland for entry to the country.

Changed after Anutin had asked for his entry visa . Many countries changed around the same time . Why dont you try that ?

There is no mention of quality . There is a question on mixing vaccines thqt has since been accepted by many countries including Switzerland

There is a saying that goes that when people think you are a fool it is best to keep your mouth shut and keep the guessing rather than open it and remove all doubt.

I first heard it like this, thirty or forty years ago:  "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt."

 

I'm not sure, but I think this quote came from Mark Twain.

Why was his chartered Thai Airways jet full of family and friends denied entry?

 

I Know Sinovac is okay.

 

Whatever, the screwup cost the taxpayers millions of dollars because that "Health Minister" doesn't know the proper health protocols to enter a country.

 

He's extremely unpopular amongst Thais and expats.

I'm sure this bafoons gaff just reinforces that sentiment.

Yes. 99.6% of the people I speak with, from all walks of life, now despise this toxic leadership, like never before. They make one blunder after another. They are willfully sabotaging the once vital industry of tourism. They are spectacularly incompetent. They are franchisees. The level of corruption is beyond even what we saw under Thaksin I, who was a far better leader than Cha Cha, who was, and is a horrendously poor choice for a PM. He has NO leadership ability.

Better be careful who is that 0.4%.

He should be transferred into inactive post already a year ago..I feel sorry for Thailand that these brainless government is ruling. It is proven already that the country is going backwarths day by day instead of recovering. Yes the Government has vaccines enough, but started with a lot of bad working vaccines, than they couldn't produce enough of a better one, and people started to pay for the good ones in private hospitals. The Government delayed and delayed because they only want the vaccines they bought for the people, Now suddenly they changed and Pfizer was added and they mix and mix, without knowing with what results...Now Omicron is a new threat but first they have a priority for the holiday season and after that with the knowledge of now probably a lot of new cases with new restrictions. Anutin does not read the news of the rest of the world??    Yes indeed maybe a fouth or a five jab is needed, because they don't know with their mixing vaccines if, which or how long the people are protected

Don't be fooled by silence. I, and more specifically my Thai wife, knows of no-one with anything less than utter contempt for any member of the current government. They also know that there is no way to remove it as it re-wrote the constitution after stealing power from the elected government to ensure its military friends would always give it the balance of power. As we have seen in the past year or two, protests in the streets have achieved precisely nothing, and nor will they.

In Chiang khan? It’s a pretty small one horse village and I’d put money on the audience being hand picked.
