Your idea of proof is asking me to call a hospital and see if I can get hold of a doctor? I have to confess to a bit of satisfaction at watching your attempt at appearing reasonable evaporate so spectacularly. What lunatic source of information did you draw on to contend that this doctor doesn't exist? Please, name the source.

Some people might characterize this claim of yours as proof of gullibility. But I prefer to think that you have an extraordinary gift of faith. You'll believe anything that suits your beliefs.

Especially advice that has the backing of virtually the entire scientific and medical community. Outrageous!

There are religious issues that are outside the province of science. But vaccination isn't one of them. Why should the scientific community respect the demonstrably false beliefs of people who don't respect science?

When it can have profoundly negative effects on the nonreligious it can. Israel's level of vaccinations has stalled. The number one reason is that the ultraorthodox are refusing to be vaccinated. Their refusal means hospitals get overloaded with patients, endangering the health of those who don't subscribe to their beliefs. When public health and religion collide. it's religion that should get run over.

First off, you have evidence that it's a "complete fabrication" This person is a actual frontline doctor. Funny, you believe some ivermectin supporting MD's who classify themselves as America's Frontline Doctors but are not but disbelieve an actual frontline doctor? You think it's unlikely that she has dying patients who regret not being vaccinated? Or that she doesn't comfort them? You got any evidence to support your disbelief?Anything apart from your utterly defensive skepticism? In fact, I'll go out on a limb here and say you've got nothing. Feel free to provide evidence to prove me wrong. And as for your evasive answer about it being horrific. It's horrific for all. But for the vast majority of those who die from it, namely the unvaccinated, you think regrets are unlikely? You think they're happy that they made that choice? That it's better to die now than face unforeseeable, unknowable consequences in the future? That getting vaccinated is literally for them a fate worse than death?

I forgot to conclude my previous post .It should have read "Once the pandemic is over."

Certainly, we're entitled. And if you keep them to yourself, they will never be criticized. But if you insist on sharing them...

Since there's no way of knowing what percentage of votes in a given year, are based on experiences during that year or even the previous one, who knows? But I don't see why people's high opinion of Thailand as a vacation spot should change because of Covid. Once enough Thais are vaccinated, the attractions that made Thailand one of the major tourist destinations in the world should make it so again.

You mean that the vast majority of the unvaccinated cheerfully face death and have no doubts that their choice was a correct one? Because they believe that it is better to die now than to suffer some unknown, unspecified, horrific fate sometime in the future?

Like most members here I believe that not just the Thai government, but even most governments in the world, depend on our advice and counsel. But if you believe otherwise, that this forum's collective input is entirely irrelevant to the outcome of world affairs, why are you bothering to post here? Or do you believe that the it's you alone that the government pays heed to? Which I guess would explain why you continue to post.

You are overtaxing my gratitude center which, even at its best, is more than slightly dysfunctional.

Actually, fluvoxamine, which is the generic version of Prozac, has also had some very good results and is now in a major trial. And because the patents on it have expired, it should be very cheap to administer. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/22619137/fluvoxamine-covid-ivermectin-together-study-mcmaster Also aspirin has been identified in a retroactive study as possibly being very effective against covid. https://www.news-medical.net/news/20210713/Could-aspirin-intake-reduce-mortality-risk-in-COVID-19-patients.aspx

Thank you Sheryl. I hadn't thought of that. My health insurance is about to expire.

If you mean that they have the legal right to not to get vaccinated, sure. But morality isn't about legality, is it? And we know that the unvaccinated are mostly responsible for the huge overload in ICUs and intensive care. People are dying and suffering unnecessarily because of people who refuse to be vaccinated. As sociologists have pointed out, the opinion anti-vaxxers care about is the opinion of others in the group they identify with. In the USA this is mostly composed of people with right-wing views. There's a phenomenon in the Internet called "concern trolling". Basically it has to do with certain people pretending to be on one side of the issue, in this case by claiming to be pro-vax, but then inserting all sort of qualifications and even contradictions that undermine the persona that they are attempting to project. Like claiming, anti-vaxxers are noble. There's nothing noble neither about ignorance, particularly willful ignorance, nor about selfishness. Or like claiming that I'm wrong on this issue is in the realm of possibilities. And, of course, in this case "I" means "we". "We" being virtually the entire scientific community. So, sure, it's possible... Just as it's possible I'm going to win the next lottery. Actually, that's probably more likely. But just because the prospect of something is possible, that doesn't make that possibility a realistic expectation. And invoking it as a serious consideration, is, at best, misguided.

Actually, as should be clear, I don't have much, if any, of a clue about how this works. But once again your replies (with an assist from Sheryl) have made everything clear. In this case dismally clear. But I guess I can't blame you for that. Thanks so much. I will follow that link.

I think it's just an O. It's a marriage visa. What about my wife? She's a Thai citizen returning with me from abroad.? For how long a term does she have to sign up for?

So since mine expires on Jun 29 of 2022, that means 10 months? Which effectively is 12 months. And once that insurance expires, would I have to renew it again. Or would standard Thai health insurance be enough?

It's a one year extension and it expires on the same day as my re-entry permit. So is 90 day coverage necessary? I'm sorry for being so careful (obtuse?) about this but a fair amount of money is riding on the answer.

So I have a non O visa. Effectively, I live in Thailand. Therefore have to get 90 days of coverage? And 90 days will be enough?

Tell that to the people in Idaho and Washington: Idaho’s COVID crisis becomes Washington hospitals’ problem https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/northwest/idahos-covid-crisis-is-straining-hospitals-across-the-border-in-washington/ Maybe if these vaccine refuseniks agreed not to go to a hospital when they became seriously ill, you might have a defensible position about their nobility. But the hospitals are being unnecessarily overloaded because of the selfishness of those who refuse to take the covid vaccine. And, of course, ICU and intensive care overload isn't confined just to Idaho and Washington

Which vaccine injuries take time to develop? And how much time would that be? 1 month? 1 year? 10 years? Got any actual figures which are the results of actual research to back up your claim?

The CDC does list a few reason why someone might legitimately refuse to take a virus. But it's quite uncommon. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/recommendations/underlying-conditions.html?s_cid=11575:who should not get covid vaccine:sem.ga:p:RG:GM:gen:PTN.Grants:FY21 I don't see why a biochemist would be involved in the decision making. Medical decisions are outside the purview of biochemists. Why would a hospital or medical practice have a Biochemistry Dept?

I should have been a little bit clearer? I'm referring to getting the C.O.E..

My question relates to insurance issues. If I enter on a work permit will a 15 day approved covid insurance plan suffice? Is that the same for entry on a marriage visa? Either way, I'll obviously be in Thailand for a much longer period than that. I'm afraid that if I enter on a marriage visa it's more likely that the govt will demand a much longer period of coverage. That's what I read elsewhere but I'm not sure that's a sound take on the matter.

Presumably those polled aren't basing their judgement on where they're going or not as the case may be, but where they've been.
