Perhaps a little more humanity is required. 5.23 million human beings, mothers, fathers, children, brothers, sisters, husbands wives. 5.23 million people who loved and were loved. Go ahead, minimize this vast human suffering, doing so really does help your arguments. Some ‘Humanity’ would be an improvement.

I would never advocate denying anyone the medical treatment they need. There is however a flip side to the deal. First the ‘Rights’ side: Medical treatment will always be given, paid for by others and provided by people putting their own health and lives at risk. Now the ‘Responsibility’ side: The Government mandate makes it a responsibility to get vaccinated, reduce your risk of becoming ill and requiring hospitalization and all associated costs and burdens on others.

Because, as you are fully aware, no vaccines prevents 100% of infections. They reduce the chance of infection, and greatly reduce serious illness, hospitalizations and deaths. They do not remove 100% of the risk. The doctor who you refer to, like all medical staff treating COVID patients would’ve have been very aware of that. His death is not a subject for your cheap (and failed) wise crack.

My observation was countering the suggestion that Thai motorists don't follow the rules, I observed most do but those who do not act with impunity. I chose to live here, I follow the rules, especially the rules of driving.

You’ll find the side effects of Pfizer-BioNTech listed in order of frequency in the attached; diarrhea is not listed so very odd that three people should have it. Perhaps they shared a meal that was not as healthy as it might have been.

Most people do follow the rules. Some don’t and it’s seldom they are called to account.

The information you have provided is useful, so thank you for posting, as is the information posted by others of actual experiences. This said, the title was odd, given the OP provides information, I suspect it might have reduced the audience, which is a shame. I suggest reading the final post of the thread to which you refer for a better understanding of what it was about.

Can somebody explain to me what is going on?

In two very short paragraphs you manage to completely contradict yourself. Well done. -

Then why the constant criticism of public health measures that are keeping millions of others safe? Millions who don’t live in semi-rural environments, cannot effectively socially isolate, may be subject to health conditions that raise their risk, or who’s work that places them at increased risk? -

So all of a sudden the CDC can’t be trusted because it’s publishing factual, traceable data which contradicts what you’ve been told by your ‘alternative’ sources. The CDC reports are governed by published CDC regulations and Federal Law. CDC reports and data provide the basis for public policy in areas of public health and public safety. CDC reports and data bases are a standard reference for research within academia and private business. The report to which you object includes a list of authors and contributors, I suggest you compare their qualifications with those of whoever it is feeding your head with misinformation. -
Not so. We have two homes in Thailand and frequently travel between them. On the two occasions in the past year that we arrived at our northern home we were contacted by the village head and told to stay home until the local health office contacted us. On both occasions a health officer called the following day, checked and recorded our temperatures and our vaccination certificates, before saying we were clear not to quarantine at home. Conversely, a young couple arrived in the village without vaccination and were taken to be quarantined at the village temple. As with all things in Thailand, the understanding and application of the rules vary according to who is administering them. [Edit] The weekly village announcements made over the public address speakers still include instruction that anyone coming to stay overnight in the village must report their arrival to the village head.

Travelling in Thailand as unvaccinated resident
Chomper Higgot replied to Lizzy Duang's topic in COVID-19 Coronavirus
I’ve read that twice. Nothing you say confirms you have had a COVID infection. Did you get a diagnosis/test confirming COVID or are you assuming COVID without a confirmed diagnosis/test? -
You haven’t come up with any alternatives you’ve simply engaged in finger pointing and victim blaming. People who live in cities: Presumably you don’t count yourself amongst them. People suffering illnesses (who of course you blame for being ill): Presumably you don’t count yourself amongst them. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for encouraging healthier living, but perhaps before concluding people choose to be unhealthy you might consider this piece of epidemiology (it being a bit of a topic these days). When society wide health problems appear, look for a society wide cause. As for your suggestion re getting more data and then examining it. It is data and the examination of data that is driving the public health policies you object to.
