» Re: "Astra jab blood clots 'rare' insists institute", (BP, May 4). One in 10 million in Thailand and one in 100,000 in the UK? How can the National Vaccine Institute possibly reconcile such a large sigma statistical anomaly and claim the risk of vaccine-induced blood clots is extremely rare in Thailand while it is criminally deadly in the UK? Worldwide, young people have been harmed and have died from blood clots -- a phenomenon that has never before been seen in these huge numbers.
It's just common sense!

Reopening a good bet with high costs
Oped, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 12/11/2021
» Nearly two weeks into Thailand's official reopening during the Covid-19 pandemic, it is time to evaluate the country's vaccine management plan, economic costs and prospects of recovery. While the reopening is worth the attendant risks, Thailand is paying a disproportionately high price for earlier mistakes and the government's mismanagement. As the reopening phase builds up, the Thai economy is likely to see a weak and tentative recovery trajectory with medium-term challenges and question marks.
