A major hullabaloo is ongoing regarding the vaccine shortage. Yet, no-one can be held accountable. Isn t that a puzzling mystery?
The blame game would have made a great comedic act had it not involved people s lives, and deaths.
The vaccination shortage and the government-is-always-right saga goes like this. The prime minister has given the order. The public health minister has executed it. The Centre for Covid-19 Situation Administration (CCSA) has conducted meetings and giving out daily updates. The agencies concerned and provincial authorities have also done what they were told to do. Everything seems flawless except the vaccines. Where are the vaccines?

A frustrated hospital director is standing her ground after the country’s public health minister complains of being held responsible for vaccine shortages and missteps.
Youwanush Kongdan, the director of Namarak, a 10-bed private hospital in Huai Kwang, took the problem to her Facebook page on Sunday with some suggestions for the Public Health Ministry. I am making an appeal to the government that it should give people the facts and communicate with them in a straightforward manner, she said.
