makes you feel so welcome, doesn't it?

 

If I didn't have mouths to feed I would be out of here like a shot.

Enough is enough.

 

Grass start to be much greener in Philippines. Want to go back there. Im going to get my first jab after 2 weeks. Second one after 3 month. In autumn i maybe send nice picture to Mrs. from Cebu.

They put up with far too much IMO.

I think everyone needs to calm down. 

 

The context to this seems to have been lost.

 

Thailand has very low vaccine stocks - This has been said by the government and is evidenced by them scrambling to find vaccines - the government thought incorrectly it could order vaccines at their convenience and they would arrive the next day, (probably expected Kerry to deliver). Thailand is quite far down the order list sadly and so rightly, their limited vaccines are being allocated on a needs basis.

 

In 6 - 9 months, when a covid vaccine is as common in any hospital as an influenza or MMR jab, anyone and everyone will be able to go and get one.

 

Do not get all hysterical and claim this is some xenophobic conspiracy. 

 

Everyone stay safe. stay at home, wear a mask and sanitizer hands thoroughly.

Well the same could also be said of the brainwashing of the  Russians during the Stalin era

In 6-9 months, it likely will be time for a booster shot and the entire process will need to be repeated. To get that "surplus" required before giving a shot to farangs could take a couple of years.

Indeed no real surprise although I thought that the CCSA who made this announcement were part of the Health Ministry.

This is disgusting, plain and simple.

In one fell swoop, Thailand has proven that it is fifty years behind the rest of the world.

 

Including their Socialist neighbours, Laos and Cambodia. LOL!

Do farangs come before Soi Dogs?

i believe the soi dogs, elephants, buffaloes, and monkeys come before farangs. i don't know the hierarchy  between insects and rodents, but we're somewhere there.

I am not sure - This is a vaccine gold mine for all companies involved and I would bet my bottom dollar they are producing Vaccine at a phenomenal rate - The amount of cash thrown at rolling out vaccines is staggering. Moderna alone aims for 1 billion doses by the end of the year. I would imagine all the other manufacturers, Sinovac, Sputnik, AstraZeneca, J&J, Pfizer are looking at similar numbers.

 

With UK population now at 74% vaccinated and most of Europe at 30% (ish) USA aiming for 70% by July 2021. Chinas and India's numbers are harder to fathom but it is likely they are likewise in the same ball park.  But this all points to vaccines production at a high and sustained level. 

 

In 6 months no hospital is going to turn around a person and their wallet if they seek vaccination.  Despite the outrage of a very small but vocal group of Thai netizens.

I'm going to give you a "thanks" for that, because I want it to be true.

I don't care about the "free" part. I just want to get the "jabs." I'll pay. I just need to know where I can go to get in line. 

I think a trip back home....UK, USA or wherever is looking more and more likely.

My guess is that when the AZ vaccine is ready, private hospitals will be able to buy from an approved Government source at an approved Government price, which could then be offered to foreigners at said private hospitals at a further inflated price. This enables everyone to make money: the Government, Siam Bioscience, corrupt officials and the hospitals, and we lowly farangs can get our jabs.

 

A win-win.

I’m not sure quite when a Covid vaccine will be common in Thailand. Last I heard they were ordering enough for about 50% of the population. The local producer will no doubt be exporting much of its production so it seems a bit up in the air to me.
