Have you had your COVID jabs yet?

This week the "Prime Minister" will talk again about allowing the private hospitals to buy stocks of the vaccine to sell.

Nothing more than a PR stunt allowing the government to pass the buck. If the government as an entity is incapable of procuring vaccines, how do they expect private hospitals to be able to?

Any vaccines private hospitals will be able to get their hands on are black market that haven't passed FDA regulations. If that market does open up, I'd expect citizens being able to purchase really expensive salene in the future, but that's about it.

For those who actually know what’s going on in Thailand, it’s obvious Matt’s first para is somewhat astray from the true situation. I’d suggest those interested could google the name of the Minister in charge of the vaccination rollout (Anutin) along with the acronym BFF (Best Friend Forever) but you’re more likely if outside Thailand to read it in the Twitter feed of @zenjournalist

Money, capitalism, free market? Anyway, the private hospitals are for the rich, so the numbers they need are much lower.

When the question arises about whether or not to become inoculated against the corona virus one should only seek and take advice from medical professionals. One of the last, if not the last, person I would listen to is a politician. Ideally one should consult with his primary care physician.

I'm happy to report that I received my second Pfizer jab today. Previously, I ticked the second box: I've had the first shot and awaiting my second, but now I can be added to the first box: Yes, I've had both shots and I'm fully vaccinated already.

And since today is May 4th, I'd like to end with the following message . . .
