My taste in breakfast food is a bit different than yours, but yes, the Gray Lady has indeed lost her way.

While being properly licensed by the regulator in the country in which they operate is no guarantee of ethical behavior, lack of proper licensing is to me a big red flag. You might wish to determine whether this company has an insurance broker's license issued by the Office of the Insurance Commissioner here in Thailand.

Beer nostalgia. Back in the day, Singha was 6%. We also had Amarit and Kloster then, too, but I think they were both 5%. The beers of a bygone Thailand.

Had very satisfactory experience at MedPark. Received second Pfizer on the 5th of September. More people there than at first jab, but all was quick and orderly and was out in 45 minutes or so. Still have an occasional twinge in the arm where I received the vaccination, but no significant side effects. Mrs. Shrdlu is holding out for the Moderna vaccine since she has little faith in Chinese-made ones or locally-made Astra Zenica. Hope Moderna arrives at Sukhumvit Hospital soon. 16-year-old daughter just completed registration for Pfizer at MedPark via her school as part of the Thai government's plan to vaccinate schoolchildren. Situation is improving bit by bit.

And if everyone is double-vaccinated, then the only Covid deaths will be the double-vaccinated. As the vaccination level increases and the number of unvaccinated dwindles, the proportion of deaths of the vaccinated will at some point exceed that of the unvaccinated. This does not imply that vaccines do not reduce serious illness or death.

In a population where everyone has been vaccinated, the only people in hospital with Covid will be the vaccinated. This does not mean that the vaccine is not effective. The issue is how many hospitalizations had been prevented by having the population vaccinated. Vaccines are effective, at least so far.

We received an email yesterday stating that the money would be available next week and that we needed to schedule a time to drop by the school to pick it up. Whatever happens to it after that is up to Mrs. Shrdlu.
