Propaganda 101 is the critical analysis of the government\u2019s strategy to brainwash the people into citizen zombies with the single purpose of mindlessly obeying without questions.
\u201cThe best vaccine is the fastest vaccine\u201d (\u0e27\u0e31\u0e04\u0e0b\u0e35\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e14\u0e35\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e14\u0e04\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e27\u0e31\u0e04\u0e0b\u0e35\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e40\u0e23\u0e47\u0e27\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e2a\u0e38\u0e14) and \u201cThe good vaccine is the one that we have\u201d (\u0e27\u0e31\u0e04\u0e0b\u0e35\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e14\u0e35\u0e04\u0e37\u0e2d\u0e27\u0e31\u0e04\u0e0b\u0e35\u0e19\u0e17\u0e35\u0e48\u0e21\u0e35) is an example of such propaganda. The purpose is to inoculate as many people as possible, as fast as possible, with the only vaccine readily available, Sinovac.
The strategy is communication through beloved celebrities. If they repeat it over and over, the people will believe it. If the celebs are vaccinated with this fastest vaccine, the people will follow. Love is powerful and infectious.
The success of propaganda also depends on how close it is to the truth.
If you\u2019re stranded in the desert, dying of hunger, and there\u2019s a cracker in front of you. It might be barely delicious and hardly nutritious, but it\u2019s the fastest and only food you can get your hand on. So, eat it. Hence, if you are desperate for a COVID-19 vaccine, then Sinovac is your cracker.
But the truth is, the best vaccine is the one proven by medical science to be the best vaccine, and Thailand doesn\u2019t yet have that vaccine.
The purpose of this article is not to prevent anyone from receiving Sinovac but to understand the political context and society\u2019s mood.
First, there are those wanting Sinovac now. Go for it. It\u2019s your life, your right, and your choice. It doesn\u2019t make you a citizen zombie if you understand the choice that you make, and not do it because super-celeb Chompoo said so.
Second, many would rather wait. What are they waiting for? \u201cThe best vaccine proved by medical science.\u201d Whether it\u2019s Pfizer, Moderna, or something else, listen to medical science.
Third, the people are angry because Thailand is stranded on the COVID-19 desert with only a cracker because the government fails to provide other foods. Meanwhile, other governments are serving their people a full-set gourmet meal. So they don\u2019t want to hear half-baked truth.
Fourth, the people are angry because while the supply of Sinovac is still limited and registration is still tricky, rich and famous celebs are getting vaccinated for propaganda purposes instead of those who desperately need it.
Fifth, the people are angry because not too long ago, General Prayut Chan-o-cha received AstraZeneca because Sinovac was deemed too risky for the elderly. But now, the government encourages the elderly to accept Sinovac, saying it\u2019s no longer hazardous.
Simply put: the crisis of confidence is the result of the government\u2019s past and present failures.
Simply stated: a citizen zombie accepts whatever; a conscientious citizen always demands something better.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
