Meanwhile Mr. Paisan Phuetmongkol, a former vice-minister to Deputy Prime Minister Prawit Wongsuwan, posted a message on his Facebook page urging Dr. Boon Vanasin, chairman of the Thonburi Healthcare Group Plc to reveal who secretly imported the Pfizer vaccine.
In his message he said, “Doctor Boon should reveal the truth.
“For the benefit of the nation and the people, (reveal) who of high authority or senior doctors are secretly importing Pfizer vaccine to inject!
“This shows there is illegal action. Privileges are being used. There is misconduct.”
