I was on the vaccine trial for novovax in October last year the last update I was given in November was that 8 people out of 30,000 had got slight inflammation of the gall bladder all these people had problems similar in their medical history so I think that's what's holding it up.

Well my Gall bladder is out

Or anyone who will have it soon?   https://www.who.int/news/item/17-12-2021-who-lists-9th-covid-19-vaccine-for-emergency-use-with-aim-to-increase-access-to-vaccination-in-lower-income-countries

Now it looks like you will need a booster shot every 6 mo. now...

Where's the scam?

If you got 25k for a 12-hours week, you were overpaid comparing to other teachers.

Teachers here are making 35,000 and up for 14 hrs.  When $$$ is going in their pocket, and not yours… That is a scam!

YES schools well try to pull a scams on you!  How?  

I have a BA & MEng and the school I was working for two months, was asking me back because the students loved how I was teaching them... Only 12 hrs a week (4 days), for 25,000 a month. Not bad for my area in Thailand. Now for my new contract with the school, they wanted me to do 22 hrs a week for the same pay per month??? (This was a private college here in my town).  Baht in there pocket, not in my pocket! SCAM!!!

I told them "HELL NO" So now they are looking for a new teacher to teach English.

Now I have a friend who is Thai with a Master in ED who was making only 10,000 baht a month at the same school, now she is in America making 10,000 baht a day at a coffee shop!

Just got the news saying if you get the vaccine, now you can not fly.

The guy at immigrationtold told me be ready for a drug-test next time, he was not joking!

Hell No!

Thai woman dies hours after receiving AstraZeneca vaccine

Why?

Take a look at; http://www.koratchef.com/ and also http://www.elcharromexthai.com/

Two great places to order from here in Thailand.

The question is not whether ivermectin has been shown to have anti-viral  properties in a dish of cells -it has, and this is not seriously questioned..

 

The question is: can it be used as an antiviral drug to treat Covid-19 or other viral diseases in human beings?

 

For example, the question of its effectiveness against an actual disease is directly addressed in the abstract you cite about dengue  (not a published paper, but a report of a talk or poster given at a meeting, so not really evidence in scientific terms). As I'm sure you read, this actually says Ivermectin does NOT have any clinical effect on the course of the disease  :

 

"A once daily high dose of oral ivermectin treatment for three days was safe and accelerated clearance of NS1 antigenemia in dengue infection. However, we did not demonstrate the clinical efficacy of ivermectin at this dosage regimen. Pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamics study of ivermectin may help to understand this finding."

quote from"Ivermectin for adult patients with dengue" https://www.escmid.org/escmid_publications/:/material/?mid=66397

 

The last sentence says that further  pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic studies may explain this lack of clinical effect .  This simply refers to studies determining whether enough of the drug gets  into the body and stays around long enough to be effective.

 

What is often not clear to people not involved in drug development is that showing the activity of a compound on cells in dishes is very, very far from showing an activity as an effective drug, and nearly all compounds discovered fail between these two stages.

 

With ivermectin, its antiviral effect on the SARS-Cov-2 virus requires doses in a dish that would be toxic if achieved in human blood, and therefore it is hard to see how it could be effective without being poisonous at the doses required.

 

It is also hard to see how it could be effective at the much lower doses given for antiparasitic activity, its common use, since blood concentrations achieved are not enough to halt the virus in a dish.

 

See this free article in Antiviral Research June 2020 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7172803/

 

Again however a convincing properly conducted large scale clinical trial would settle this issue, and if ivermectin worked it would be adopted world wide. Where it is being used (e.g. India) it does not seem to be helping much so far.

Here is an update on Ivermectin... READ

Before moving to LOS , in Oz I had a high end Rocket Espresso Machine, burr grinder, and would only buy my favourite beans from one supplier out of Sydney. All for one espresso every morning... I would seldom drink unknown coffee at cafes and would never touch instant.   I was a total coffee snob ( & w#nker! ).

Now in Thailand - I am drinking Nescafé 3 in 1 - and am quite satisfied with that!  

My quest for the perfect coffee may have been a sign of my general dissatisfaction with my life in Oz. Maybe I’m getting too philosophical here!

Anyway , instant coffee vs exclusive expensive beans , Sang Som vs Johnny Walker Blue Label. Whatever rocks your boatI  

 

Try this, you may like it... it is wat better then Nescafe 3 in 1... Thank You... I have been getting my coffee from a shop in BKK for years;  https://www.facebook.com/thailandtrungnguyen/

There’s no such thing as instant coffee. It’s actually a coffee flavoured drink, not coffee.

I never drink the instant coffee flavoured  substitute. It’s takes a few minutes to make real coffee and it doesn’t need to be expensive. I drink mostly Vietnamese coffee and  at imported prices it’s mot expensive

On lower level across from supermarket are 4 or 5 coffeeshop equipment distributors...in addition nearby there are coffee bean purveyors.....I bet you can find something you like.

"Asher Yaron" the coffee evangelist..!

Mostly right, basically the best cup of coffee will be made from fresh grinds from recently roasted beans.

Exactly the way most coffee in coffee shops is made in Australia, probably explains why coffee in Australia is just so much better then the over stewed dish water served up in America.

Taken coffee at the cafe Florian (Paris) and cafe de flore (Venice) and many others throughout Europe and Australia but the best coffee I've ever had was at the front gate to Wat Thampla Pong Ngam Chiang Rai, made from locally sourced Doi Tung beans, freshly roasted, I asked, and brought a bag of beans from her, about 500g, so for the next week we had the best coffee ever.!

I have been buying my coffee from this place in BKK... so far the best coffee in town;  https://www.facebook.com/thailandtrungnguyen/

I know a lot of you will say that Thailand has coffee shops are everwhere, and the # 1 coffee is Black Ivory Coffee here in Thailand (aka elephant dung coffee) is the world's rarest and most expensive coffee in world. Not what I am looking for, please see video to get a better understanding what real coffee is. If you have never had real coffee, you do not know what you are missing... Think of it like going to "High School Prom with your Sister or going with Angeline Jolie"  Yes, it is that big of a difference. So if you know of a place like this, please post!

If you are looking for the best soil in Thailand, then you need to talk to Magus. He is just west of Bangkok, well outside of BKK... PM me for the info.

He is the best soil guy in Thailand, no joke.
