Because of SARS2's unusual and unexpected infectivity and mutation rates. 

 

 

Nothing unusual there:

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?

There has been quite an increase in Thailand of Covid cases and death recently

Really?

Thank you BKK Brian,

I saw that one, but it's not very relevant as you said.

It would be interesting to have datas for Omicron.

If one is infected and has been vaccinated, they have less severe symptoms (if any), and recover more quickly, and are thus contagious for less time. You have to consider a bigger picture than one on one!

Well, I would be glad to agree with that, if you could answer these questions:

Are less severe symptoms associated with lower transmission rate?

Could you show me a paper that shows a quicker recovery in vaccinated people? (I couldn't find any)

Everything That Pfizer individual said was taken out of context to suit a specific agenda by the individuals that posted what your again regurgitating...look again...

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.

Now check all the studies listed in this article:

 

Fact Check-Preventing transmission never required for COVID vaccines’ initial approval; Pfizer vax did reduce transmission of early variants

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-pfizer-vaccine-transmission-idUSL1N31F20E

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?

No its not fact as it also references media articles and pre published studies that have not been peer reviewed. Of the one I did look at that was published in Lancet it clearly states that viral loads on vaccinated are reduced so not as infectious to other people although they can still pass it on.

" although they can still pass it on" doesn't that mean that the vaccine doesn't prevent transmission?

How does being vaccinated reduce the risk to others, is to me, such an absurd question that highlights just how far down the rabbit hole some have tumbled.

 

How on earth have we reached a point where facts and truth and science are so wilfully disregarded in favour of prejudice, self interest and delusion.

 

Those who proudly proclaim ”I do my own research” and shout with all their might “fake news” may very well bring about the end of democracy if not humanity itself.

 

Poor white Americans protesting against expanding healthcare….????

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.

You have labeled this in a false and misleading manner. It is not a study, far from it, its correspondence. Its a letter to the editor and that is all.

Ok, my bad, I rephrase it:

This letter to the editor published in The Lancet website includes a list of studies that doesn't show any efficacity on reducing transmission.

Now could you give me an answer on this fact ?

If the statement was beyond your comprehension, not a lot to be said.

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...

Most of those falling sick have not been vaxxed or who have only had a couple of shots

So how many shots should I get if I want to be safe? 3, 4, 5?

Please be precise in your answer because it's a matter of life and death.

Thank you, Wuvu2, this is all I wanted to know...

Received this one today, very quick delivery via EMS, ordered Tuesday night, received Friday afternoon to Koh Samui)

Looks exactly like the photos they advertised, nice smell, good clean smoke, nice head high, good for daytime and evening. Will order again, prefer it to the Green Crack.

 

(Members, please review what you have ordered so we can all help each other and small business that deserve the customers if they are good suppliers)

I also ordered 10g from the same seller and I hardly feel anything when I smoke it.

It shows how difficult it is to review weed because the effects can vary a lot from one person to another.  

Does anyone know if there are other countries where people don't want to give up the mask?

Just curious.

Coming soon in your city...

Bankruptcies and suicides are skyrocketing and he is concerned about fake news... 

Thanks for your quick answer, Ubon.

Does anybody know if it's doable in Hua HIn Immigration?

Hi all,

I've read on this forum that if you apply for your first one year extension based on marriage you don't necessarily have to show 400k in your bank account.

You can instead show proof of (at least) two monthly transfers into your Thai bank of 40k each.

Can someone confirm it's correct?

And if it's correct, can I show my bank book as a proof?

Is there anyone who used that method in Hua Hin immigration and did they accept it?

Thanks

Yes, it's a very fancy certificate, indeed ????

Thanks again
