From the article: "A research team from Mahidol University and Naresuan University led by Associate Professor Dr. Charin Modchang expanded the study and utilized the same mathematical modeling approaches to estimate the number of lives saved due to Thailand’s vaccine rollout. " You expect the highly technical results of their work to be published on thaivisa.com? But if you care to look, here' s link to the actual research. Please share with us the points you disagree with. https://www.mdpi.com/2414-6366/7/7/116

Except that the saint refused to buy foreign vaccines that were far more effective in saving lives and preventing serious illness. And that he still doesn't recognize that the time for lockups is long past or should be had he authorized the purchase of more effective vaccines.

No, He didn't have to go there personally. All he had to do was tell them to stop immediately instead of enjoying the spectacle on TV. And he could have ordered the National Guard to intervene.

It would be on topic if you could show some positive correlation between rapists and/or pedophiles and illegal immigrants. One case is worthless as evidence.

Thanks for exposing your right wing agenda. I got news for you. Years ago, during the Clinton adiministration welfare payments were slashed. And during Covid some states prematurely cut benefits out of the belief that workers would go back to work. That failed big time. And your use of the labor force participation rate re unemployment makes no sense. As I pointed out earlier it includes most people aged 16 or older except those in the military, in prisons, in nursing homes and mental hospitals. So as the population ages the labor force participation rate is going to decline. The unemployment rate is nearly at a record low and employers are complaining that they can't find workers. And as for stopping illegal immigration first. If immigrants stop being able to find jobs they'll stop coming. So why the emphasis on the border? Because it distracts from this fact and is a useful emotional issue for the right. As I've pointed out before, make hiring immigrants a felony, and enforce that law, and illegal immigration will drastically decline. So why do you want to put this second instead of first?

Stop making things up. Judge Carl Nichols is a very conservative judge. He clerked for Laurence Silberman and another judge named Clarence Thomas. Have you heard of either of them? Not just that. He has also been a member of The Federalist Society. Have you heard of that organization? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_J._Nichols

Actually, Biden has been making gaffes for pretty much his entire career. If he stops making gaffes, that would be cause for concern.

The decline of the NHS began under the Tories. As did the huge tax breaks for the wealthy.

And why would these people who haven't been working, start to work now for low paying strenuous jobs? And I don't think it's a bad idea to start a guest worker program. What's stopping the opponents of illegal immigration from doing just that? Maybe they know that employers prefer workers who by force of circumstance have no legal protection?

Clearly you have answer for the facts I've raised and try to make it personal instead. You have no answer for whether or not the economy can absorb these immigrants. You have no answer for the fact the immigration is a 2 way street. Illegal immigrants come and go.

Well, they could raise taxes on the wealthy. The could eliminate all those tax loopholes defended so vigorously by the Tories. They could put a stop to privatizing health care and repair the damage to NHS caused by the Tories' neglect.

Global heat records are outpacing cold records by 10-1, data shows According to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, around the world, 188 all-time heat records have been broken so far in 2022, compared with just 18 cold records. A climate scientist at Princeton University says the record imbalance is a sign of climate change. Studies have shown extreme heat will increase in frequency, intensity and duration because of global warming, and that extremes will occur more frequently on the hot side compared to cold. https://www.actionnews5.com/2022/07/18/global-heat-records-are-outpacing-cold-records-by-10-1-data-shows/ What makes this particularly notable is the fact that during the first half of 2022 there was a La Nina which actually has a depressing effect on global temperatures.

Given the govt's penchant for breaking its word in regards to the "oven ready" Brexit agreement, I wouldn't be at all surprised if they follow your advice.

What's truly bizarre is that despite this looming crisis of water shortage and the threat posed by the increasingly hot climate, Arizona had the 4th highest rate of population growth in the USA fueled largely by incoming residents of other states. And Utah was number 3.

You mean the economy can't absorb them? There's also the fact, that you seem unaware of, that this is a 2 way phenomenon. Illegal immigrants also leave the country to return to wherever they come from. In other words it's not just about addition but also subtraction.

And since then, Biden has said this: "If you are vaccinated and boosted, you may get COVID but you are highly protected against severe illness. " https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/01/04/remarks-by-president-biden-before-meeting-on-covid-19/

It should also be noted that virtually all of those politicians who most vociferously claim to be opposed to illegal immigration are also opposed to establishing a decent minimum wage in the USA.

The fact is that those who claim that illegal immigration is a dire threat to the United States refuse to take steps that could eliminate it. As for why not...well, right now US unemployment is already close to record lows. Where are these workers going to come from?

Nowhere have I advocated for this. I'm simply pointing out the blatant hypocrisy of those who claim that illegal immigration is a dire threat to the United States but refuse to take measures that would bring it to a halt.

Watchdog criticises UK government for COVID procurement amid 'chumocracy' claims LONDON (Reuters) - The British government did not properly document key decisions nor was it open enough about billions of pounds of contracts handed out during the COVID-19 pandemic, its spending watchdog has said, as critics accuse ministers of running a “chumocracy”. The National Audit Office (NAO) said on Wednesday there had been a lack of transparency and a failure to explain why certain suppliers were chosen, or how any conflict of interest was dealt with, over 18 billion pounds ($24 billion) in procurement deals made between March and the end of July, often with no competition. The report comes amid growing criticism some multi-million pound contracts were awarded during the coronavirus crisis to companies with links to ministers, lawmakers and officials. https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-britain-procurement-idINKBN27Y07Q

So your defense of the Conservatives is that their performance was bad but Labour's would have been worse?

Another crystal ball forecaster.

So what's stopping all those ferocious politicians advocating walls and increased deportations from passing laws to make hiring illegals a felony?
