A very logical and reasoned argument, one which those of us who do not blindly follow the narrative have been saying since recriminalisation was raised.

I think you'll find this professor would not be alone in his assessment. You mention COVID and there is a link in that the narrative is very one sided but that seems to be changing for dope recriminalisatin and COVID. Good to see two sides of a story. This is how people can educate themselves rather than blindly following the "official narrative" which sadly so many do. We've now had this + the public opinion article saying the majority of Thais do not want recriminalisation.

Where are all the anti-dope posters that call people potheads and dope is evil. I guess this OP debunks their demonizing and ignorance of the facts and goes against the governments narrative and theirs and i guess they have no response to this article. Where are your puerile, ad hominem comments?. Regulate not recriminalise. It's the only sensible and rational path forward.

The publisher of this particular article has nothing to do with it. He admitted this to congress.

Dr. Anthony Fauci confessed to lawmakers Tuesday that guidelines to keep six feet of separation — ostensibly to limit the spread of COVID-19 — “sort of just appeared” without scientific input. Fauci, 83, revealed to the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic that the “six feet apart” recommendation championed by him and other US public health officials was “likely not based on scientific data,” according to Chairman Brad Wenstrup (R-Ohio), who is also a physician. COVID ‘6-feet’ social distancing ‘sort of just appeared,’ likely lacked scientific basis, Fauci admits https://nypost.com/2024/01/10/news/fauci-admits-to-congress-that-certain-covid-social-distancing-guidelines-lacked-scientific-basis-sort-of-just-appeared/

By anti-vaxxer do you mean anti-mRNA vaccines or are all people who don't want these vaccines all anti-vaxxers i.e. anti all vaccines? Seems your just sprouting the same old demonizing narrative.

Very low numbers for a population of around 70,000,000. Again we don't know of existent comorbidities. The common cold can be deadly for those who are immunocompromised. This new variant as explained in the article has not changed in it's severity. It remains non-severe for those not at risk i.e. the majority of the population.

Deadly? Not anymore. It's Omicron and has been for years and for the very vast majority mild and not deadly. Please supply i.e. source any information that shows this to be deadly. Even the article says it's mild. i.e. non-severe/mild for the overwhelming majority of people.

i.e. a non-severe viral infection akin to the common cold and the flu. Said before and I'll say it again. This is Omicron doing what Omicron does. Evolve This will continue.

As I said there's plenty of peer reviewed scientific research papers out there but finding anything that goes against the narrative on Google is not that easy. As for unproven why hasn't the zoonotic theory of the origin of the virus been proven. I'll tell you because it wasn't zoonotic. As for a "small band of conspiracy theorists" you are mistaken. It's not small but probably a lot smaller than that of the sheeple of which you are part of the flock. "There's none so blind as those who will not see."

Not quite accurate. They know of Mexico maybe just not where it is.

Sadly it seems you don't know that cited articles which are peer reviewed are linked in some YTuber's videos. There are many like yourself who will not even entertain the notion they may be wrong. No skin off my nose if you believe what you are "officially" told to believe and live in your own little bubble of ignorance, that's your right but calling anyone who wants more information other than that released by those who control the narrative, conspiracy theorists, is simply puerile.

This is true but the covid 19 mRNA jab was the first time a mRNA vaccine has gone to market. Read the article you attached. By gone I mean rushed with inadequate scientific testing in both the short and long term.

Information on this YT is supported by fact. It's up to the individual what they make of it. Sadly independent information is not part of the narrative pushed by Big Pharma, govts. legacy media etc. and anything that goes against the narrative is shut down and called conspiracy theory. Just like you do.

Vaccines that the kiddies get are not mRNA vaccines. Once again anyone who says they don't trust mRNA vaccines are immediately branded as anti-vaxxers which is exactly what the narrative pushed. There are none so blind as those who will not see.

Unless of course they're doing gain of function research and then there's a lab leak.

Oddly I haven't seen a recent poll on the preferred PM. Apart from a couple of weeks ago. Pretty conclusive that was. Oddly again is the Party that won the general election and the person they put forward as PM were denied their democratic right to govern by Junta Senators and will be dissolved. Move Thailand Forward (their next name IMO) will be dissolved on the 18th by the Junta's legal apparatus. It is not allowed to challenge the status quo in Thailand.

Not Thai people generally. Dopes been smoked here for centuries. It's purely political and it's purely Thaksin. Anyone who is actually opposed to dope being regulated and supports recriminalisation apart from the politics are those with monetary vested interests and the religious conservatives/nutters.

Well it's been 12 hours and nobody on here has answered the question. WHY DOES THIS MAKE SENSE? Why recriminalise? Come on there's enough posters on hear typing out "pot heads" plenty of times. Well answer my question. It's straightforward. Why recriminalise?

Potheads. Bit like antivaxxers. The nasty, evil people. I wonder what % of the anti-dope group on here are religious? My guess it would be a large %.

I don't smoke dope excessively and I don't usually drink to excess. I challenge anyone to tell me what I'm doing is wrong. Coming soon I will be breaking the law, a law that will give money back to real criminals which of course includes not only drug lords but corrupt officials in all levels of government.

The party should be elected by the people with that party putting forward their PM candidate prior to the election. If for some reason the PM gets rolled then it can only be the Party that rolled them that chooses the replacement PM. The entire Senate should also be elected by the people.

This is not a recent development. It's an article based on speculation.

This is what the headline says it is. Speculation. What isn't speculation is PTP jumping into bed with their enemy selling out their entire voting base. Apart from this it's more than likely there won't be an MFP to form any coalition after the 18th.

This is what people are saying and what I've been saying since this kicked off. This is, however, not what Thaksin wants.
