    I don't eat out without alcohol being served, I like alcohol with every cooked meal (including breakfast).

     

    Don't really understand the reasoning of no alcohol with my meal, my mask is already off to eat, so where is the extra risk?

     

    @ICELANDMAN

    Don't really understand those who don't want to get drunk, take drugs and bang hookers every day either. They must be as miserable as the people living in our home countries, I'd rather be dead..

     

    @GroveHillWanderer

    As for testing, I'm not prepared to pay for a stay in COVID prison, so I not only avoid testing, but I avoid any tracking or tracing of my movements, pauses at the QR code with my phone off for a second, then enter.

    I see that you do not want to follow the advice or rather the order of the PM, you risk not receiving the extension if you persist in your "bad habits" if you are caught drinking outside the home. This is the new reality, do you think it will change in the future? I have many doubts ....

    I can't believe Chiang Mai has gone from thousands of cases to ZERO cases in less than a month.

    This just isn't reasonable.

     

    And if there are ZERO cases why aren't they serving alcohol in restaurants, why aren't all the entertainment venues open, why can't I use my local swimming pool?

     

    Perhaps for your personal safety, live a healthy life with no alcohol and not fill your belly with polluted products and don't drown in the pool   and run in the meadows and always stay healthy and happy.

    I bet it felt good writing that. I bet it made you feel smart, smarter than all those other people.

    Again, spend five minutes reading the actual scientific papers that your conspiracy sites claim to be citing.

    The truth won't make you feel so special, but at least you will no longer be deluding yourself.

     

     

    To tell the truth is a terrorist act, I am convinced that you agree on this.

    That's true, but none of the vaccines in the research were ever approved past animal testing because too many of the lab animals died.

     

    And now we are the animals, what could go wrong?

     

    Meanwhile, the deaths from vaccines are a small percentage if the published numbers we are to be believed, but today AZ denies that it is the only one that has caused more deaths as it says that Pfizer has caused three times as many.

    Rather than say "so sure", I would say "so confident".

    Decades of work have been done on mRNA transfection and, as a method, we already knew that it is far less intrusive and more precise than the traditional viral vector vaccines. While you can never be 100% confident that there will not be unpredicted effects from any medical intervention, this is a particulary subtle approach given the complexity of what we are trying to do.

    All other things being equal, it is better to have more time to test vaccines but, given the situation we were in, a more compressed time-frame was appropriate. In fact, many experts familiar with mRNA have suggested that the inherent nature of mRNA meant that we probably should have started vaccinating extremely high-risk individuals in the summer.

    As it stands right now, we have delivered almost 2 billion doses. For that scale of use, the level of harmful side-effects has been astonishingly low, and the effectiveness has been astonishingly high on the targets we were aiming for: reducing hospitalization, and reducing death. We now know that also it roughly doubles resistance to getting infected and, if you do, it cuts transmission by around 66%.

    Whatever about half a year ago, the sheer number of recipients now means that we understand the nature of these vaccines far better than most.

    Personally, I believe the locksdown were a massive overreaction. We should have directed all our resources towards shielding the most vulnerable, not shutting down the world. Social media in overdrive, hysteria in the mainstream press, and particularly spineless politicians were the perfect storm that landed us in this mess. The vaccines, in particular the mRNA vaccines, are our way out. We got lucky.

    If anyone has doubts about the vaccines, they should not take them, and no pressure should be put on anyone. It is fair, however, that you cannot do certain jobs if you put others at risk. It is also entirely fair that airlines are shifting towards accepting only vaccinated passengers, and countries only want vaccinated tourists. That is their right and their duty towards their own citizens.

     

     

    It is exact that these vaccines have been administered to two billion people but it is not true that it has been tested for years on people but only for a few months so we have arrived at a kind of religion where one must only believe that they will work the final result will be between a few years, if population survive the vaccines.

     

    For the fact of vaccines for travel, how to request Thailand will be the inevitable descent of his mass tourism, but if this is what his government wants, then continue on this path.

    Younger scientists certainly often don't get credited for their work. I remember reading about how Watson and Crick really shafted a female assistant who contributed a lot towards the double-helix discovery.

    In general, however, I would say that an experienced scientist, by the time he gets to that level, makes the most important contribution through having developed the gut instinct for where to dig and leading his team in that direction. The grunt work is often something that can be done by any trained scientist but, of course, they still deserve credit for their effort and commitment to the project.
     


    I don't think any credible experts are suggesting that Pfizer will kill us. The mRNA mechanism is new but well understood.

     

     

    How then can you be so sure is so efficient in the long term on a vaccine that has not been tested in the long term?

    here the same is in english.

    https://pattayatoday.net/health-warning-after-people-buy-large-quantities-fah-talai-jone/

     

    the thing is - doctors are warning against taking large quantities.

    My wife gave me this herb as capsules. She bought it for herself but did not use it, so I have finished the bottle. Just one capsule per day. I think they have recommended many capsules per day

     

    Then you have all the antibodies if you take Covid LOL.

    Like all medicines if you abuse you have negative effects, personally I am in favor of this natural medicine and I bought some bottles in case if we have the covid to take it right away.

    You forgot to add a link to the source of your information about the alleged damaging effect of Fa Talay Chon.

     

    Yes sorry Puccini this the link https://sootinclaimon.com/2021/04/21/health-warning-after-people-rush-to-buy-fah-talai-jone-as-covid-cure-sootinclaimon-com/

     

    A hospital in Prachin Buri province has warned people that consuming fah talai jone (green chiretta) in huge amounts can damage the kidney and liver.

    This Creat seems to be the same herb I saw called Green Chiretta in another news article on ThaiVisa today and which I know as Fa Talay Chon and use as the basis for my nightly hot toddy ( 1 cup of Fa Talay Chon tea, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 jigger of grappa)

    Vaccine is free for foreigners in Cambodia. Nothing to pay, unlike your criminal mindset which constantly revolves around something illegal, probably a genetic thing. Or acquired.

     

     

    You forget that where you live half of the population is massacred the other half, to make heaven on earth. And from your answer you indicate that you are very comfortable where you live among your fellow people.
