Amazing that he did not mention that Thailand is ranked 88th (and going down) in item 6 :

 

 

6) OVERALL RISK ENVIRONMENT AND COUNTRY VULNERABILITY TO BIOLOGICAL THREATS

6.1) Political and security risk

6.2) Socio-economic resilience

6.3) Infrastructure adequacy

6.4) Environmental risks

6.5) Public health vulnerabilities   88 Thailand 57.2   -1.7

PM Happy with 100m COVID Shots
 

I only got 2 shots and Happy with this.

 

Joke at side…it seems that Chinese vaccines are not going to protect much of the new and future variants.

 

New York Times today;

Data shows that Asia’s most widely used vaccines — including those made by AstraZeneca, Sinovac and Sinopharm — show no ability to stop Omicron infections six months after vaccination. (Most vaccines still seem to provide a significant degree of protection against serious illness from Omicron.)

So he's happy with just over 60% double vac. Get to 80% and then start patting yourselves on the back. Third shots going in and still 10% odd awaiting their second. Mind boggles and he forgot to mention the 4th jabs too.

I would keep digging as it looks like Pfizer is the flakiest of the main jabs per period on omicron. Of course, nice names and marketing are all the difference right.

Happy to close the country down again and so happy with the horrendous pm2.5 air pollution. ????
