evidence: The former professor at Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz in Germany, whose parents were originally from Thailand, claims in the interview that top Thai officials are considering nullifying the Pfizer contract after hearing out his concerns about the inoculations. But the Thai government has disputed this. "FAKE NEWS DO NOT SHARE!" Thailand’s Department of Disease Control wrote in Thai in a Feb. 3 Facebook post that includes a screenshot of Bhakdi’s interview. "The public is requested not to be fooled and ask for cooperation not to send, or share such information on various social media channels." An official with Thailand’s National Vaccine Institute, which is under the Ministry of Public Health, also confirmed to the AP there are no plans to revisit the country’s contract with Pfizer. In a statement, Pfizer noted that Thailand’s disease control agency continues to recommend its vaccine "for all authorized ages and indications." Bhakdi acknowledged that some of the claims circulating online are an "exaggeration." But he maintains his concerns are being seriously considered. "I did speak with highest-ranking advisors to the government and Royal Family, thereby explaining why Thailand could and should annul the Pfizer purchase contract," he wrote in an email Monday.
