Why has Thailand only vaccinated 10.2% of their total population so far?

The plant-based Thai vaccine is not ready yet.

Why pay for vaccines when you can rely on free donations instead. 
 

Has Bhutan responded to Thailand request yet?

@Stonkercorrect me if I'm wrong but the % positives from testing is running around 35% . when daily testing was around 60k a day that's around 22k infected now they are testing 40k a day and 35% is around 14k ! Just reduce the testing so the country will be on track to open up October deadline set by Prat !

Because they started too late and didn't order vaccines early enough because they thought they had a good scam going., maybe, but I maybe be wrong.

True. Until then I'll see if BS was right and I'll grow a 3rd thumb if so, will send a photo.

For once I shall be serious. My wife is an anti vaxxer as you may have read in some of my other postings.  Now when I told her I was going for my 1st shot all the BS she had read on FB came out so much so I got lucky and she didn't speak to me all night !!.  Now she did come with me the following day and the reason she got so uptight is that she was worried that I would a) Die within a few hours, b) Not be able to walk or C) have some other permanent debilitating side effect, all total crap she read and believed. 

Tell you all that fake news which is allowed to spread on FB I hope is rewarded by karma and Zuckerberg's penis rots and falls off, his tongue disappears and all his bank accounts are hacked by the Taliban.

That is about the size of the pathetic situation. Maybe they wanted to try to reduce numbers before the No confidence ends.

Almost right, methinks, just not focused on plant-based

Not by far enough of it and too slow as well, but like YouTube, FB has started to remove disinformation.

As you said, impressionable people are deliberately mislead, which just isn't right in the name of "freedom of expression".

Hope many will follow the trend.

Whats the point of testing when all you do is lock them up for 2 weeks and then let them out without another PCR test?

The only (stupid and immoral) option I see that makes any sense would be to force a vaccine shot, lock  them up until there is a negative test, 

Given the above, what is the point of testing?

Don't be to certain about that! Looking on the Phuket situation, only international arrivals need to have to shots, to be counted fully vaccinated:

From the latest article in Thaiger: Visitors must be vaccinated with two doses of Sinovac, Sinopharm, Sputnik V, or the one dose of Sinovac followed by a dose of AstraZeneca … or just one dose of AstraZeneca, Pfizer, Moderna, or Johnson & Johnson.

Anyone has doubt, that these people are already counted in statistics in the 70% goal? Which should, since Delta, be a 80+% goal. And with the mu-mutation perhaps has become a 150++% goal (3. booster mRNA ;-))

Yes we are all aware of the tricks they are pulling to get the numbers up but I said "shouldn't be counted until after your 2nd" which is the medically accepted norm. not the BS by  the Phuket cowboys and indians

No, you also tell them to gargle and brush their teeth

Alternatively, in Phuket, lock a thousand up for two weeks and don't give them a PCR test at all ...

Couldn't read the label. But can speak Chinese now... Is that a side-effect?

Speak Chinese, extra thumb and tail. If you had to pay, you really would have got your money’s worth. Next you will be on your way to Phuket to make there day.
