Health Ministry insists donated Pfizer doses will go to medical workers first, not VIPs

[Thaiger]

Thailand’s Health Ministry has dismissed rumours that healthcare workers will get just 200,000 of the 1.5 million Pfizer doses donated by the US. Rungrueng Kijphati says 500,000 doses are being reserved as booster shots for the country’s healthcare workers. He says doses are expected to arrive later this month and administration will begin in August. “It is not true that some of the Pfizer vaccine are earmarked for VIPs. The vaccines are for health workers and at-risk groups. VIPs are not a priority.” Rungrueng was responding to allegations made by a cardiologist from the Faculty of Medicine at Chiang Mai […]

Meanwhile, calls are mounting for the government to provide full disclosure of its vaccine import efforts

'government'   'full disclosure'     I see that's today's oxymoron.

When I see articles like this, I sprinkle it on my tomato plants and they grow better.

Are their calculators broken or is there a "one in five" failure rate of doses? Wouldn't you think giving 250,000 initial doses, then the other 250,000, all to deserving healthcare workers, would be a best use plan?

As with virtually most things the government do here, none of it adds up.

Splendid ... so only a million of the one  and a half million doses are for VIPs?

No amount of disclosure will do anything to "restore public confidence". This junta has lied, obfuscated, passed the blame, and generally done everything to muddy the waters for over a year. The public are utterly sick of this crowd of charlatans starting with the Covid Czar at the top and one way or another they will extricate this country from their control. Thailand has receded 50 years in the last two into a chaotic mess of vested interests grabbing anything and everything for their own individual benefit at the cost of the lives and livelihoods of the majority. This period will go down in history as the worst of the modern era.

Yeah yeah, and the people are supposed to believe this, daily lies and the government still thinks they can get away with it.

TIT.

Well when you consider who is leading the sloopy slide to chaos then it is hardly surprising.

I just read news from NZ that Phizer shot makes boobs bigger. I think government should reconsider an allocation 

[longwood50]

And how many of you out there believe the government would never tell you something that was not completely true.

How can the become a bigger boob?

If that goes to the Hi So's then the USA should be extremely mad. Me as an American too, but pretty hard to disgust me any more than am already.

That's not what happened in most countries. In some countries the VIP's maids got vaccinated before over 60's etc, just saying.

And it will be no different here as this government makes the Nigeria email scammers look like angels
