At last...some realism is hitting them.

Yes but they still will not understand that if they had got on with quality vaccinations of the population they would currently not be in the amber no travel bracket enforced by countries who have inoculated a large part of their people.

I can’t wait to come back but I have to obtain consent to travel from my Government because the Thai Government adopted a wait and see policy, Well they waited and now they and the world can see it was a stupid move.

Indeed, little effort went into vaccinating the Indian public prior to this last outbreak and vaccines were not widely available. Rather India concentrated on producing vaccines for export. A huge mistake due to false complacency after the initial waves were nto as bad as expected. . Similiar to mistakes made in Thailand.

You are 100% correct in your assessment and it is my understanding but not acceptance in total that the U.K. Government believed as we all did the there was indeed an concerted effort in India to vaccinate some 4.1 million of the population daily but if fact considerably less than that were being vaccinated because the produced vaccine was being sold around the world, money being more important than life itself.

that the reason for the spread of the variant is all the public's fault and not because they failed to stop flights from India for 3 weeks.

At what point did I or anyone else say that the government not stopping the return of Indian nationals from the sub continent did not have an effect on the infection rates? Of course it did, BUT had those who live here year round accepted the vaccine that the government all but pleaded with them to accept, the evidence shows that the rate of infection would not have been as high as it has become.

Those Asians who did have the vaccine to date have had no infection. 
The government and it’s scientists have clearly stated and reiterated that the infections are in the antivaccer minority. They are not my words

A doctor told me that if you get it a second time the symptoms would be a lot worse than the first time ( if you had symptoms.

Your doctor is giving you incorrect information.

There is published scientific information in the Lancet and other medical journals that state quite clearly  that second time around Covid infection and Covid vaccine recipients who contract Covid have considerably less symptoms and discomfort from. and do not Need o be hospitalised. 
I also states that vaccinated people are less likely  by 95% to be carriers and spreaders of the virus, the proof of this is evident in the U.K. where some 60 million doses have been given and now the infection rate has gone from near 30,000 a day to some 2,000 and the death rate from 1,500 deaths each day to just two today.

The only uncertainty at this time is the Indian variant which is spreading quite quickly, however all of those infected are people who have not had the vaccine because they have refused it, some for religious reasons but mostly because they have read and believe the fake news spread by the ill informed idiot brigade.

What difference does that make? If a scammer can strip your bank account by spending a few pennies to acquire your phone number it’s win win for him.

I have had this scam sent to me by email @gmail.com and now I get it by text on my phone so how did the scammer get my email and my phone number???
Oh silly me I was forgetting Google have both.

Regardless of technology the action is the same. They all stimulate the body's immune system to launch a defense against the virus.

Yes but different vaccines are produced using different mediums and production processes, some use a spike from the virus others kill the virus and use that.

A recent Government scientific directive was to not mix until further investigation is carried out as mixing  could be the catalyst for horrendous side effects.

I have had 2 OAZ jabs but there is no way on this earth that I would have had a mix

Anyone an idea how i can find a place in a hospital for him?

Sadly you friend is a victim of the fear factor prevalent in the medical profession in Thailand, this is where so called doctors will not accept the medical responsibility they signed up to because they are scared of covid 19, so rather than treat a patient they say the hospital is full.

3 days ago my girlfriend tried to get into hospital because of serious heart palpitations but they refused her entry and treatment because she came from a village that had one reported person who tested positive, this is a disgraceful dereliction of duty that does not look good for anyone Thai or Farang.

May I suggest you simply find a safe way to get your friend to any hospital and leave him there, cover yourself so you can not be recognised and immediately leave the hospital yourself.

You must then go home and isolate yourself for 14 days coming into contact with no one. 
Any supplies you need should be delivered by a friend and left on your doorstep, any money you hand over should be sprayed with alcohol hand wash.

During your isolation you would do well to make a plan to get yourself to hospital should you need it.

Be very careful and I wish you the best of luck in this.

You really need to read exactly what the story actually says to get the full picture.

If only the majority in here and on other forums would do that we would not be subject to all the fake news and wrong assumptions that are continually expressed.

Try reading past the first line, people, and you will be surprised at what truths you will discover.
