You have to look at cases/deaths per million. Then you will have the correct number for comparison.

You mean they aren't "yet". We want to be prepared in case that does happen, and we also need to travel at some point.

Thank you for answering! ❤️

Thanks for posting. I'm interested to know what hospital. We are trying to find a doctor to get legitimate exemption for medical reasons, and would also like to know (if you're in Thailand), do the powers that be, honor them?

The solution to prevent overloading hospitals, is to stop hospitalizing every person who tests positive. Most other countries are doing this. All of my many friends who have had covid, have recovered/quarantined at home. While here in Thailand, anyone who tests positive is whisked away to a hospital for 2 weeks. Even if they're asymptomatic or even if it's a false positive. (refer to previous article on Asean Now about the foreigner forced to hospitalize just for being exposed to someone positive).

My question is ... Why?

Pfizer's study documentation is currently being released (slowly) via FOIA. This is part of the documentation. DISCLAIMER: This is merely sharing recently released information & court documents. You can read it if you wish, and draw your own conclusions. Vaccine approval data is provided, and the observed side effects are listed on pg 30-39. https://phmpt.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/5.3.6-postmarketing-experience.pdf This is the link to the previous link main page with other documentation. https://phmpt.org/pfizers-documents/

I'm an avid animal rescuer, and am co founder of a large cat rescue in the US. We save and rehome thousands of cats per year, so I have extensive experience. These are ticks for sure. Ticks will embed into the skin, suck blood, cause anemia, and most always cause anaplasmosis and/or erlichiosis, which are blood parasites. Blood parasites are fatal if not treated, but easy to treat. You will have to ask for a blood parasite test, as many vets in Thailand do not do it unless asked to. About 90% plus animals in Thailand have blood parasites. It's treated with daily doxycycline for 45 days (not 30, as a Thai vet will tell you). The ONLY way to keep these off of your cat is to administer monthly flea and tick medication. You can buy it fairly cheaply in Thailand, but please buy from your local vet and not online. Many of the products on Lazada or elsewhere, sometimes send outdated meds that don't work. Please get your vet to show you how to administer it. Warning: cats don't like it. LOL. Also, the first time you administer this to your cat, watch them closely for about 30 minutes for drooling or foaming at the mouth. This would mean they're having an adverse reaction. Out of my 7 personal cats, only one has bad reactions to the Revolution brand. IF this happens, immediately put the cat in the sink, and wash the medicine off their neck with dishwashing soap. Not regular soap. If your cat has had the ticks for a while, and especially if they have embedded in the skin, please have it tested for blood parasites, and while you're at it, test for Feline Leukemia (highly contagious to other cats), and FIV (not so contagious to other cats). Many Thai vets don't do this test unless you ask. Now you know more than you EVER wanted to know about cats and ticks. Good luck!

And/or all the links lead to a 404 error. Frustrating.

It was the HPV vaccine. None others at the same time. She was 13, and yes, she had all of her childhood vaccines. Her reaction is debilitating to this day.

You are very fortunate to not have a child who was permanently damaged with chronic seizures, paralysis & pain from a vaccine, like me. Do you really think I would be considered a "good parent" to make her get this one? After her doctors told us she should never have another?

I'm not "anti vax". This vax isn't like previous ones. Vaccinated can still catch, carry, and transmit covid. That's a known fact. Those who want it should get it. Those who don't (or can't, like 2 of my family members) shouldn't be punished for not getting it.

I read it. The point is, they're not going back to normal because of a spike in cases. I think you must have just scanned.

Gibraltar is over 99% vaccinated. Take a look at what's happening there. Christmas Celebrations Cancelled in Most Vaccinated Area in the World as Cases Spike

Wait. Is he really wearing a shirt with dollar signs on it? OMG. ????????

I have many friends experience the same or worse. I've been so grateful to be here during this <deleted> sh0w, but vaccine mandates will not work for my family. I'm with you on this.

HAHA. I speak Thai way better than my husband. But yes. We could get a friend to call. It's a small town, and local Amphur is old and mostly in "party mode" ????, but we could have the friend call Amphur from the main town in our district. Good idea. Thanks!

I wish I could find where to get one. I've looked. We're not coming in from overseas. We've been in Thailand for the past 6 years. We need exemptions for some domestic travel and hopefully, international travel soon without ASQ quarantine.

Visa services will become even more popular.

I'm sorry to hear that. We have similar here. Our adverse reactions were before coming to Thailand, so I'm honestly not sure about getting an exemption here. And even if we did, I'm wondering just how many would honor it. TIT

Not a choice for us. 2 of our family cannot have any vaccine for medical reasons. Of course the Thai govt isn't even considering people like us. This sucks.

Oh how well we all remember. This is insanity.

They need to stop this already. The treasured tourists who've jumped through hoops to get here, get yet another slap in the face. If they don't believe the vaccines work to prevent spreading covid, then why are they even necessary? Are people seriously going to be subjected to the jab every 6 months, or be punished?

This is tragic. I agree with all that say traffic laws should be enforced, as well as made to learn practical rules & safety before given a license. I've been in Thailand for 6 years, & never seen one person pulled over for a moving violation. As for giving them more pay? That doesn't make sense unless the above happens. Throwing money at a problem doesn't fix it. You must address the root of the problem first. "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime" comes to mind. If you look at the western culture, there are rules, and they are enforced. There are also MANY poor people too. If stuck without transport, either they will find an alternative, try to improve their situation, or remain poor. If the poor people here have zero clues about motorbike safety, helmets, no cell phone while driving, and the logic behind traffic laws .... giving them more pay will never change that.

I realize that. But it is certainly not a practical solution for everyone, every business, transport companies, etc .... At least not for many years, maybe decades. My point was, that Asian countries can do a lot to improve the situation NOW, but don't.
