  1. Firstly, the data I linked to is more recent than yours. And I linked directly to the official government source. I haven't manipulated anything, I am quoting direct from government sources, and linking directly to the information I'm quoting. And here's a quote from my original post I outright stated that the statistics show the vaccinated are less likely to die. I didn't try to hide that. And just to comment on general comprehension and understanding, you're someone who doesn't know what "then" or "your" mean.
  2. Well. You got me. I made a post hoping for people to use logic and sense, and your reply shows you're either incapable of that, or deliberately interested in the opposite.
  3. Here is a screenshot of the file from the UK government website. I have to assume you just made a mistake, there's no way you looked properly at this table and thought, "oh, it's because most of the population is vaccinated". Do you not know the meaning of "per 100,000"? Simple logic not your thing? Go back to my original reply and look up the full file for yourself.
  4. Tell me how me getting vaccinated supports those who have no choice? And please use facts based on data, not just what you believe to be the case. If I was vaccinated, my chance of getting covid would increase by 400%, that would make me 400% more likely to spread covid to others. (see every single UK government vaccine surveillance report published in the last 18 months, also same data from every other country that publishes rates of covid by vaccination status). And the only thing I've gone to any lengths to do in this thread, is point out the facts to people like you who have formed their opinion in the absence of facts. And I'm not asking anyone to give up their freedom of choice, all I'm doing is expressing hope that people will start using logic, data, and facts to form the basis of their opinions. Using the data, those under 60 who are vaccinated are the selfish ones, because you have reduced your chances of dying by 40% (from 0.001% to 0.0007%). In exchange for increasing your chance of passing covid on to someone who is actually vulnerable by 400%. If you think I am wrong, please show me the data you are using to form that opinion. To see the data I'm using, see the UK government vaccine surveillance report I linked in my last post, and all the weekly reports they published prior to it going back around 18 months.
  5. I know they have that worry, but it is unjustified. The UK Health Security Agency publish their 'vaccine surveillance report' weekly. Until recently, every week they showed the rates of infection per 100,000 by vaccination status. Every week showed the same, vaccinated people are between 300-400% more likely to get covid than non-vaccinated. Here's one such report, go to page 45 for the relevant table - https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1061532/Vaccine_surveillance_report_-_week_11.pdf Check out the other reports prior to this month that show this table, it's always roughly the same numbers, being vaccinated increases your chances of getting covid by 300-400% To be fair, being vaccinated seems to reduce the risk of dying from covid. Unvaccinated, my risk of death is 0.001%. Vaccinated, risk would be even lower, at 0.0007%. That's a 40% improvement. But considering being vaccinated makes me 400% more likely to get covid, not being vaccinated is still a good choice. Also worth considering... The rate of road deaths per 100,000 in a given year in Thailand is 32.7 In my age group, the rate of death per 100,000 from covid if not vaccinated is 1 (see UK government data in PDF above) That means I'm 3270% more likely to die in a road accident in Thailand in a given year, than I am of covid if not vaccinated. And my risk of being harmed by covid vaccine side effects is 0%. I'm hopeful of Thailand scrapping requirements because the entire global response to covid has been a mistake, and we need to get back to 100% normality.
  6. Why? Because I'd like to visit Thailand, I'm not vaccinated, and I don't want to have to quarantine. I thought that would have been obvious. No need to get testy, I have 0.0000% worry or regret about my vaccination decision, and I have zero problem with your vaccination decision.
  7. Now scrap the quarantine for unvaccinated and I'll come back.
  8. THC is one of the main compounds in marijuana that has medical properties. So they still don't allow cannabis for medical use if the THC must be below 0.2%.
  9. Remember what the Russian National Hockey team wore just a few months ago when playing in Europe.
  10. I was staying in this one hotel in Bangkok before, it didn't have a balcony, but it had a full floor to ceiling length window that opened like a door, it opened right out to nothing. It was about 3 floor up, so not crazy high, but you could certainly die if you fell out. I like that Thailand doesn't have persnickety health and safety regulations, but that probably plays some part in these occurrences. Though my reflex thought has always been that most of them are suicides.
  11. Until relatively recently, I'm talking the 2000's, German authorities ran a scheme whereby homeless orphaned children were placed into the "care" of known pedophiles. Not accidentally, the scheme was to deliberately pair pedos with homeless children.
  12. Current vaccines don't reduce transmission, and please cite a source that omicron is a result of non-vaccination. Given its seemingly increased ability to infect the vaccinated, the opposite seems just as if not more likely. But I'm speculating, you seem to know for a fact where it came from, I'd love to see your sources.
  13. 63 confirmed cases, probably all asymptomatic, but SOME may lead to the sniffles. Omicron is the end of the pandemic, the sooner it becomes the dominant variant, the better. Open up everything now. It's time to revert ALL measures to 2019 standards.
  14. China doesn't operate via logic, thus the disease China have destroyed global society with is also not responded to with logic.
  15. There could be a bit of a boom as soon as normality returns. I have many family and friends who had trips cancelled because of covid who are looking forward to getting away again.
  16. There will be no normal tourism until the whole world is normal. That means no mask mandates anywhere, no vaccine requirements anywhere. Once everything is as it was in 2019, only then will tourism come back to normal. 2023.
  17. Don't do it, don't allow foreigners to buy you out from under your own country.
