I was responding to other posters. Anything wrong with that?

January 8. Buying wines in Thailand is going to get much cheaper, as the country is set to introudce a sweeping tax reform including completely removing import tariffs in an effort to boost the country’s tourism. The country’s cabinent has passed a landmark decision to reduce taxes for alcoholic beverages including wine, local liquor and spirits to promote tourism, a significant contributor to the Thai economy, the government has announced earlier this month. According to the government spokesperson, import tariffs on wines, which currently stands at 54% and 60% of declared value, will be abolished indefinitely. Additionally, the excise tax on wine will also be lowered from 10% to 5% of its price. These tax cuts are expected to significantly reduce the cost of imported wines in Thailand, a country that has traditionally imposed an average tax of about 250% on wine, including import tariffs, excise tax, municipal tax, and a 7% VAT. Not going to happen as many on here predicted. ozz1 Advanced Member 628 Gender:Male Popular Post Posted January 8 I'll believe it when i see it Very true my friend. very true indeed.

That's when they said they were going to do it.

I'm not sure about this. I seem to remember import duties and excise were involved. Stand to be corrected though.

Chilean reds are drinkable. More a quaffing wine than anything decent but it's cheap and it's somewhat drinkable. If I have a bottle I'll put it in the fridge. Chilled and even on ice it's ok. I say this as a South Australian home of some of the best wine in the world.

Let's see what happens at the till. For some reason it just goes againt my sensibilties that prices will actually be reduced. Can't really think of any examples where this has happened to any great extent. Airfares maybe but they jump up and down so not a good example.

Yep. Just like the vaccine injury conspiracy. Oh! Wait! It's not a conspiracy after all.

Big pharma and CDC. Big pharma and govenments. Fauci/Wuhan Institute of Virology/gain of function. No conflict of interest to be seen here folks.

Not heartless. Just reality. 61 million people died last year https://ourworldindata.org/births-and-deaths#:~:text=There were 61 million people,net increase of 0.91%). from all sorts of things. 5 million a month.

Well do you know about the comorbities of these people? Age groups? Even if died from or with Covid? 11,000 deaths globally is still bad news for those who died and there families but it is still only 11,000 in a month or around 354 per day in a global population of 8,019,876,189. In anyones books this is a very small number. Apart from that it seems to have become seasonal so there will be peaks and troughs.

We have been in a different phase for around two years. It's called Omicron which is a non-severe viral infection for the vast majority.

How many of these were vaccinated/unvaccinated? How many with severe comorbidities? What are the age groups? More info please.

Rediculous. Probably every person on earth has been exposed to the virus at one stage. Natural immunity is built. Vaccination doesn't mean you can't spread the virus. This is now endemic. It is no longer a pandemic. Do you suggest healthy people should continue to be jabbed for the rest of their lives? Pure nonsense.

Yep post mortum clotting happens but if you actually watch the videos you will see that these clots are usually dark red and jelly like. No one is disputing this.

Read this and you will see that it is recommended to a targeted section of the population. The Australian Government Booster Advice. https://www.health.gov.au/our-work/covid-19-vaccines/getting-your-vaccination/booster-doses Booster doses A booster dose is recommended for all adults: aged 65 years and over aged 18 to 64 who have medical comorbidities that increase their risk of severe COVID-19 aged 18 to 64 who have a disability with significant or complex health needs You can also consider a COVID-19 booster dose for yourself or someone you care for if you have spoken with your healthcare provider and are: an adult aged 18 to 64 years without risk factors for severe COVID-19 a child aged 5 to 17 years who has medical comorbidities that increase their risk of severe COVID-19 illness a child aged 5 to 17 years who has a disability with significant or complex health needs A second COVID-19 booster dose is recommended for all adults aged 75 years and over All adults aged 65 to 74 years, and adults aged 18 to 64 years with severe immunocompromise can get a second booster dose after discussion with their healthcare provider.

Go to some doctors in Thailand with a sprained ankle and you will come out with antibiotics. Indeed I remember when I was young in Australia when there was a push back against over prescribing anti biotics. There was resistance to this.

You've used this one before and the response to it was very much what I'm going to say. The embalmers have found these clots. As Hirschman says he's no doctor or scientist but the clots are there. This seems to be undeniable. They have the clots. What's causing them and if there is a connection between the clots and the vaccines is what needs investigation, investigation independent of big pharma, to discover if there is a link. As it is it's just speculation one way or the other. It may be pure coincidence that they seem to have been found sometime after the vaccine rollout and not before.

It is interesting isn't it when you have embalmers who have been doing the job for years saying they've never seen anything like it. Once again the truth of the matter seems to be in dispute.

https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/photos-blood-clots-embalming-dont-show-link-with-covid-19-vaccines-blood-clotting-risk-higher-after-covid-19/ Very interesting but the thing is, which is probably more interesting, these white clots are being found pre-embalming. Found when the bodies are being prepared for the procedure. There's also the point that (as yet seems to be unverified) these white clots have been found in living patients.

I'm sure it doesn't take much searching to find a whole lot of articles to discredit anyone who challenges the narrative. Very difficult to find articles going in the other direction. As I say in information warfare it's those who control the information that have the upper hand.

Cheers and I agree with your post but I am in no way praising the merits of mRNA vaccines. What I am saying is it should only be for the vulnerable. Apart from that I have stated many times I am not anti vaccination as such. Children should have their vaccinations against measles, diphtheria, polio etc. I have sometime within the last decade (can't exactly remember) had the rabies jabs and tetanus. Rabies jabs certainly had some side effects. I also had 2 AZ in 2021. I will not have another jab for covid. It's the mRNA technology I have a problem with along with the censorship that has been put in place.

There are people for whom the vaccine is probably a good thing and then there are those where it's not needed. Now it's Omicron this is certainly the case evidenced by govts recommending jabs only for the vulnurable and those over a particular age. I think in the UK it's now 70 yrs old.

It's 48 hrs because they didn't test after that.

"Anti-vax posters" It really does seem that you can't or just wont get it into your head that one can have grave misgivings about mRNA vaccines and NOT BE AN ANTI-VAXER. Not mutually inclusive as I have stated many times.

Being dictated to by big pharma and the governments in their pockets isn't freedom. People should be able to make their own informed decisions which means ALL available research and information should be on the table not just that which gets the tick of approaval from the vested interests. As for misinformation why was AZ called safe and effective when it wasn't (as is public knowelge AZ caused blood clots and the product was withdrawn). I'll tell you. Money. How about the fact that mRNA spike proteins are found throughout the body when the manufacturers of said product said this would not be the case. A study involving rats showed a wide systemic distibution of spike proteinsand this was before the emergency approaval of the mRNA vaccines. The public were told that it stays in the deltoid muscle. Clear misinformation. https://www.tga.gov.au/sites/default/files/foi-2389-06.pdf
