He's wrong. Enough dirty farang made it back in to take refuge in Thailand, to start a big new wave. He should assign each a personal washer to scrub them down as they rarely shower themselves. It's the only way to stop the spread.

But their is no problem with 12 Thais gathered around a small table drinking whisky from the same shot glass or 20 Thais gathered around a small Cock fight arena . Then going home to their family and sharing the Covid with them. Now that's dirty

China rushes to develop an mRNA vaccine as doubts grow over local jabs. Older inactivated virus technology in domestic shots less effective against infection than foreign rivals.

Well as it seems they know they cant make world fool with their cheap chinese chemicals.....

Subscription only link. What date is the article? China should be streets ahead on developing an mRNA vaccine by now. Fosun Pharma was a very early investor in BioNTech, pre Pfizer even, and gained marketing and development rights in China. Not sure what happened, or why they went down another route.

 

"BioNTech received a US$135 million investment from Fosun in March 2020, in exchange for 1.58 million shares in BioNTech and the future development and marketing rights of BNT162b2 in China.[159][115]"

He accepted there had been a surge in cases in the New Year but pointed out that this had not been matched by a surge in deaths.

Cases are a leading indicator of deaths.  People infected in the New Year who develop extremely serious symptoms aren't dead yet.

Probably because he wants to appear important. There should/may be an election this year and the more he is in the public eye, he thinks more people people will remember him.

 

Thailand's official omicron numbers will probably be lower than in Europe for two reasons: very low testing numbers and those who do test positive not reporting it to avoid possible unnecessary hospitalization. 

He hasn't read the world news for a few days so he is a bit behind on up to date info I think.

 Got Covid Omicron 30 days after getting 2nd jab of Moderna. My brother and his wife got It and they have had the Booster. This country is looking at 50,000 a day very soon. Omicron goes right around all vaccines. We are all just lucky the symptoms  are light and very few people will die from it. They have me in a hospital right now sucking money out of my insurance company for the next 7 days, been here 3 days already. Feels like a bad cold . Can you imagine this country trying to hospitalize 50k a day. This by far is the most contagious Covid we have seen 

Message from the heart of the situation.

Point taken

Get well soon

Anutin - who is neither a scientist or a doctor, just filthy rich - said that Omicron was not as bad as Delta.

And here I thought Thailand was a total meritocracy.... Yes Anutin is a blind man playing darts in a hurricane.  Dangerous and likely to get people hurt one way or another.

Really, you are really defending a moron with no medical or scientific educational background. Being rich (which he is) has nothing to do with him being STUPID, he’s a Muppet, a political appointee and a Puppet what’s wrong with you … get a life, wake up! 

Millions vaccinated with Sinovac, the worst on the market and close to no protection against Omicron. Even with a 3rd Sinovac booster Oxford University said not enough protection. Government knew for many months it was bad. But CP family and high corruption before health of the Thai

Many countries have higher vaccination rates and are still bombarded by Omicron. Why would Thailand be immune to similar.  Just more BS from Thai govt officials.

Those countries test way more, so he is right. Thailand will never have many cases.

 

Of course a lot of people will feel a bit sick, but that’s not an issue, as most will not get tested due to nobody wanting to be dragged away to a hospital.

 

In a few months when everybody has been infected, he can personally claim a big victory over Covid. Great start for the new PM.

 

 

He will be eating those words in about 8 weeks.

China. Who boasts that 85% of their population is vaccinated fully.. is now facing serious lockdowns of over 13 million in just one city with the lockdowns keeping you indoors in your apartment or home just to combat this new omicron. If their vaccine is not helping their country then why does this Anutin think it will be easier for Thailand?

Don;t even need to look to Sweden 0 Aust is 80-90% fully vaccinated and had over 65K cases yesterday. Past vaccines are certainly not stopping symptomatic infection. Even it's not clear that boosters are going to help that much in the long run. The death rate will be lower with Omicron, but total deaths may exceed that from the delta wave. 

Deaths have dropped 3% over the past 90 days in the US.

would be a more appropriate description !

his wealth can be attributed to his fathers successful construction company.

his PM aspirations were forged years ago with current PM not to mention other friend in high place.

google anut kingmaker reuters and other sources from.

like the covid pandemic foreigners staying in LOS can only try and live with corrupt, incompetent TIT "pandemic" (gov't, army, police, immigration, hiso's etc) .

its a genetic thing always has been always will be.

So? There should be no restrictions anywhere in the world and also no need for vaccines. Just look how all the other pandemics have been and nature have handled it as it should.

This is going to happen  no matter how smart any poly is, and it’s going to happen in every country, the good news is that it’s seeming to wipe out delta and isn’t causing severe illness and it’s providing natural herd immunity, that’s what most of the world’s leading scientists are saying

Besides, he said that the situation will not be as bad as last year because 70% of Thais had received vaccinations in the country and 8-9 million had had a booster shot. 

He forgot to mention that the Chinese vaccines are not working against omicron.
