COVID makes comeback in Thailand as booster fatigue leaves door open
lessismore replied to webfact's topic in Thailand News
It was not just a few. When the vaccine came out you could see hundred of government officials claiming that the vaccine will stop Covid and that we will soon go back to normal life. For example, here's Fauci on the 10.12.2020 claiming that herd immunity will be reached if 75 to 80% of the population would be vaccinated (at 0:45). Source: Then, here's what we learn from Janine Small, president of international markets at Pfizer, on the 10.10.2022 at the European Parliament: "Pfizer did not know whether its COVID-19 vaccine prevented transmission of the virus before it entered the market in December 2020." Source: Then, tell me how could Fauci make this statement about herd immunity in december 2020, since he had absolutely no data about transmission ? So, TallGuyJohninBKK, if you want to call this "slightly overstating", it's up to you, but I don't share your point of view.- 363 replies

I agree with your point but it would mean I'll have to smoke it and that's what I'm trying to avoid.

Hi all, I'm also trying to find some efficient THC oil but I don't know much about it. Can someone tell me if 5% is potent enough? I know a TTM doctor who told me she can provide 5% THC oil on prescription only, it costs 1500 bahts for a 10 ml bottle. Do you guys think it might be worth the price?

Well, I'm asking questions and I'm always ready to change my mind if I'm proven wrong. For your pleasure, here are some more "poor excuses simply not to believe": 1. Pfizer has been condemned (many times) in the past for malpractrice: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2875889/ https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-largest-health-care-fraud-settlement-its-history 2. Data integrity of Pfizer vaccine trial has been questionned in the most reliable publications: https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj.n2635 This doesn't prove in any way that the Pfizer vaccine against Covid is useless or dangerous, but if some people had lied to you in the past, would you believe what they say without asking questions?

Excuse me ThailandRyan but I don't understand what you're talking about. I just pointed out that Pfizer vaccine has not been tested on transmission before its release. It's just a fact and according to the fact checkers, it's completly normal. Did I write somewhere that this is a scandal and that people shouldn't get vaccinated because of it? Look again.

This article is saying that: 1. The vaccine hasn't been tested for its effect on transmission before its release. I think we can agree on this first point. 2. Studies have shown its effectiveness on the earlier variants of the virus. I'm glad to hear that but we're discussing the necessity of getting vaccinated against the actual variants. 3. The third part of the article discusses the effectiveness of the vaccine on the transmission of the more recent variant Omicron. That's what we want to know. It says : "vaccinated people who experience an Omicron breakthrough infection still have lower odds of passing the virus to their contacts" and quote this preprint as a reference: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.08.08.22278547v6 In this preprint, you can find these numbers : "we estimate that unvaccinated Omicron cases had a 36% (95% confidence interval (CI): 31-42%) risk of transmitting infection to close contacts, as compared to 28% (25-31%) risk among vaccinated cases." So basically this article is saying that vaccination reduces the risk of Omicron transmission by 8%. Before we continue this fascinating conversation (if you're willing to), would you please tell me if I got something wrong?

Prejudice? 1. The president of international markets at Pfizer saying at the European Parlement that Covid-19 vaccine has not been tested for its impact on transmission prior to its release is a fact. 2. The studies that didn't show any efficacity on transmission have been published in the most prestigious medical and scientific journals: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1473309921006484 https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/nejmoa2109072 Or maybe these top scientists who are questionning the efficacity of the covid vaccine on transmission, and who are published in the most renowned journals are just guided by "prejudice, self interest and delusion"? I would be glad to read your answer to that, MrMojoRisin.

Yes, I'm probably too stupid to understand the complexity of your reasoning. Let me try again: When you say "one of the precautions that can be taken to reduce the risk to yourself and others." doesn't it imply that the vaccine can reduce the risk to others? English is not my first language, so I might have misunderstood...

Hello sandyf, Could you be please tell us how being vaccinated would reduce the risk for others since it doesn't prevent transmission? Here are the facts: 1. The vaccine wasn't tested for its impact on transmission prior to its release. "On 11 October, Dutch MEP Rob Roos tweeted a video clip from part of a Covid hearing at the European Parliament the previous day where he asked Janine Small, president of international markets at Pfizer, whether its Covid-19 vaccine was tested for its impact on transmission prior to its release. Ms Small confirmed it was not tested in that way before release." Source : https://fullfact.org/health/coronavirus-vaccine-pfizer-transmission-test/ 2. Further studies could'nt show any efficacity on reducing transmisson. "the impact of vaccination on community transmission of circulating variants of SARS-CoV-2 appeared to be not significantly different from the impact among unvaccinated people."
