re: "Foreigners face longer wait for jab" (BP, May 14, 2021)
Dear editor,
I imagine most (all?) resident foreigners can pay for the shots at private hospitals rather than wait for the Thai government to get around to providing one. Economic realities, albeit greatly worsened by government incompetence or worse, do determine what is and is not possible, which in turn impact what is reasonable and just.
Acts of god and divinely ordained conditions that determine what is and is not humanly possible, such as horrific virus pandemics, cannot justly be blamed on humans, not even on the government of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, manifestly blessed though it be with such illustrious role models for Thai youth as that epitome of traditional Thai virtue made incarnate, the universally respected Capt. Thamanat.
