This is not a priority.... if people feel better wearing masks I say let them. Not really much of a mandate these days as so many are not bothering. Other restrictive regulations should be rescinded now. 

So let the people decide, if they want to wear then wear, if they don't then they don't.

Wouldn't it take cash or credit cards. Credit cards are part of the banking system Russia is shut out of. Many Russians are gonna have a hard time when their cash on hand runs out in Thailand.

Many Russians have used Union Pay since 2017

The Oxford study from the link in the article. Mmmm

 

We estimated an extra two (95% confidence interval (CI) 0, 3), one (95% CI 0, 2) and six (95% CI 2,  myocarditis events per 1 million people vaccinated with ChAdOx1, BNT162b2 and mRNA-1273, respectively, in the 28 days following a first dose and an extra ten (95% CI 7, 11) myocarditis events per 1 million vaccinated in the 28 days after a second dose of mRNA-1273.

 

This compares with an extra 40 (95% CI 38, 41) myocarditis events per 1 million patients in the 28 days following a SARS-CoV-2 positive test.

And in recent news NHS England are advertising new positions for vaccine injury officers to deal with claims from covid vaccines.

Myocarditis: COVID-19 is a much bigger risk to the heart than vaccination

 

Myocarditis following COVID-19 vaccination is rare and the risk is much smaller than the risks of cardiac injury linked to COVID-19 itself.

Based on a study out of Israel, the risk of post-vaccine myocarditis is 2.13 cases per 100,000 vaccinated, which is within the range usually seen in the general population. This study is consistent with others in the United States and Israel which put the overall incidence of post-vaccine myocarditis between 0.3 and five cases per 100,000 people.

So Oxford University produce results that is high, not liked and they are classed ambiguous. Mmm I see.

I think you'll find a close to 100% vaccination rate among pilots. Scared to fly now? ????

https://americanmilitarynews.com/2021/09/army-flight-surgeon-says-pilots-risk-sudden-cardiac-death-from-covid-vaccine-side-effect/

Many pilots lost thier jobs for refusing to have the jab

One military doctor warned about the problems vaccinated pilots could face. Scared to fly now?

I thought all the unvaccinated people were dying, why would they need to fly anywhere?  

Think again 

What a great idea, would feel much safer sitting in a section with the unvaccinated. And I hope the pilot would also be unvaccinated for safety sake.

How will this effect tourism?

What tourism? 

The amount of real estate companies advertising on platforms such as dot property is miniscule compared to pre covid times.

Disagree, it's already started and time will show how wrong you are.

exactly, foreign arrivals have alread had 2x tests unlike most of the locals they will be mixing with, who is infecting who is the question and the bigger question - with omicron does it really matter as western countries have pretty much reduced restrictions or removed them completely, why is Thailand always months behind the curve

 

seems the only thing that matters now is - are you vaccinated or (as increasing recent evidence is showing) have you already been infected with the virus which seems to offer the best protection - natural immunity that could last for years

 

this pandemic is coming to an end Thailand needs to get with the program

seems the only thing that matters now is - are you vaccinated or (as increasing recent evidence is showing) have you already been infected with the virus

Why is this the only things that matter?

It was either that or returning a bag from in a taxi with 1 million baht and a Rolex.....gotta love the irony.

If it was a Rolex we all know where that would end up

At a time when it's all about big corporations taking over the world, don't think there is room for the small player anymore.

At no time was I spreading misinformation, in other words, suggesting anything other than getting vaccinated, I was merely saying perhaps we should wrap them up in cotton wool if they are going to complain about the usual after effects of the mRNA vaccines or other for that matter.

 

I am well aware that the unvaccinated make up them majority of those dying, you don't have to be a rocket scientist, sometimes you have to read between the lines of what people are saying before you go pointing the finger, back at yah !

So anything other than getting vaccinated is misinformation according to you

and your source for this BS, maybe he wants everyone to get their recently developed vaccine specifically targeted at omicron - if I could contact the guy directly I'd be telling him "where to go" 

 

and also thankinging him for intorducing a drug into my body that is highly suspect, and just to add, something that makes me more angry - what better senario than to never find a cure for HIV, it is almost like the car industry and oil - a never ending revenue stream until now - but that change has been forced, meanwhile no cure for HIV means a constant revenue stream worth billions every year, pretty sick actually but I digress

 

I did not like getting a vaccine - I would have preferred not too but still evidence sugests it still protects people from serious illness that has been proven beyond doubt 

 

But equally it is also looking like the best protection against covid 19 is to be infected with omicron, it is becoming clear that omicron has ended this - lets hope that is correct 

 

data is still being gathered but it looks good 

The interview with him stating what you call BS was posted by another contributer yesterday in response to me

No. Albert Bourola the CEO at Pfizer said nothing of the sort.

Context.

Bourela Pfizer CEO said “The 2 doses offer limited protection if any" in the interview. How can you say he says nothing the sort?

I would get a posting ban if I said what I wanted to say about this

 

and meanwhile 

 

 

Two sources have said Hong Kong health authorities have determined China’s Sinovac vaccine is of no use against the Delta and Omicron variants, thus toughening control measures to minimise any chances of infection. About 40% of the inoculated population chose Sinovac.

Albert Bourola the CEO at Pfizer in a recent interview stated the that 2 doses of the Pfizer vaccine gave little to no protection at all, so what is the difference? 

It's all about threats of fines and imprisonment in Thailand. A great place for a vacation
