I base my belief that I would have been severely ill or dead on the data. The most recent analysis comes from Canada; Results: From mid to late-2021, incidence rates for cases and severe outcomes were consistently lowest among those with a completed primary series and highest among those who were unvaccinated. Unvaccinated individuals were much more likely to be hospitalized or to die compared to those with a completed primary series in all variant periods.

Allowing the proponents of claims that are either nonsense and/or intentionally false to call the claims "theories" is the start of the problem. They are not theories. A theory is presented with a factual basis and evidence to support the claim. The burden of proof is on the person promoting the claim to prove its validity. Instead, the proponents of the claims have been allowed to avoid meeting the obligation to support their claim and worst of all, are not held accountable for the damage caused when it is shown that the claim was intentionally false.

I am educated and make my living from critical thinking. I owe much of my personal wealth to it too. It was the weak and the ignorant who fell prey to the nonsensical claims of world conspiracies. I gladly accepted my vaccine. I even took a booster last December along with a flu vaccine. Know what? Despite the incidence of the two diseases being severe this year, I managed to avoid any serious illness. I was ill with Covid 2X. The first case was mild. The second case was the one that was the killer version 2-3 years ago. I literally had crackling in my lungs when I was breathing for 2 weeks. Other than the general malaise, I did ok. I know that without the vaccine, I probably would have been hospitalized or worse, dead and I am grateful that I was able to access the vaccine.

I am not your "bro". I did not think you were talking about a russian written conspiracy. Rather, I know you were repeating the nonsensical Russian origin claims that the WEF is an international organization intent on world domination. Either that, or you were confused by having watched too many Austin Powers and James Bond movies and projected. One need not "act" as an intellectual superior, when it is an evident fact. You achieved that on your own. Perhaps you should stick to preparing aluminum foil head wraps to prevent the reading of your thoughts by the WEF center for information. Be sure to check everywhere for special listening devices.

I do agree with much of what you write, but the differences in the beef quality are also due to factors, in addition to the feedlot practice of fattening up the cattle. Australian beef, like Canadian beef and US beef production also includes the use of feedlots. It is done to maximize the profit margins. An estimated 80% of Australian beef finishes off at the feedlot where it can spend 2-4 months being fattened up. The high fat content Wagyu variety can spend over a year. Canada beef has a similar feedlot experience. The US feedlot experience 4-6 months at the feedlot, with an estimated 97%+ off at the feedlot. Yes, it makes a difference, but it isn't the decisive factor. I offer that the Australian (and Canadian) feedlot diet which emphasizes more grain and roughage results in a leaner higher quality beef results in a better product. US cattle have a more corn based diet. And it includes the corn stalks and leaves. It isn't high in nutritional value, and results in a higher fat content. In respect to the use of antibiotics, much of the world has careful restrictions. China, Brazil, and the United States meat producers rely on the use of antibiotics. IMO, US consumers are being poisoned so that they can have cheap meat. The problem we have in Thailand is that sourcing good quality beef is difficult. The US has some of the world's finest quality beef that comes from "organic" type farms that free range raise the cattle and that avoid indiscriminate antibiotic use. The thing is that the market for the product is small, and the meat is expensive, such that it won't be seen in Thailand. The restaurants that serve quality beef in Thailand are few and far between and you pay for it as you say. Most restaurant chains, and I can think of one large one, serves some really poor quality beef. It is gristly, tough and requires "processing" before it can be used. I avoid two chains because my experience since Covid is that the steak will be tough and near inedible. I expect that if US beef flooded the market, it would be of poor quality too. The US cattle producers focus on quantity, not quality.

That is a difficult option. On a direct retail level, yes it could be possible, provided that the beef is labeled as sourced from the USA, but that is not where the sales are made. The USA beef would most likely be used by food processors and restaurant chains who do not have to declare their beef source. How would a consumer know the origin of the hamburger that is served up? Some restaurant chains have a clever advertising approach, emphasizing "Australian" beef when referring to some item menus, but with no mention on other items. The consumer doesn't know the origin. It could be Brazilian or Argentinian sourced. The Thai people would have to rely on the monopoly of food processors to declare their meat origins. I doubt that will happen. It is not done now.

what does George Soros have to do with this? The man is mobility impaired and has not been involved in political activities for years. He is almost 95 years old. Do you really expect people to believe that he springs out of bed each morning and gets to work planning for world domination and hatching schemes around the world? On a good day, I expect he is able to make it to the toilet before leaking. On other days, he probably does well if he can chew and swallow something rather than having to slurp something that has gone through a blender.

The article is not the letter. The letter is a relatively mild statement of position and reflects sentiments shared by many Israelis.

You may have "read", but whether you understood the content and its context is another matter.

That's nice that you refer to a discussion paper from 5 years ago. Lots of think tanks and interest groups propose things too. Governments everywhere have white papers and policy papers that contribute to policy discussions. It is called forward thinking and planning. There is nothing controversial in the concept of supply chain resilience. All of the western countries learned a very expensive and hard lesson during Covid when they found out that they were dependent on PPE sourced from China. Almost every western country has adopted some of the proposed improvements. The US government wants to repatriate industrial capacity. So do Australia, UK, Canada, France and most other western governments. However, you are off on a conspiracy nutter fueled tangent of conspiracies because the paper has nothing to do with the Young Leaders skill and educational opportunity. What is wrong with the PM of Thailand being provided with a forum where she can discuss strategies and methodologies? The concept is used by corporate and institutional boards worldwide. It runs the gamut from training CEOS to educating board members in their responsibilities and duties as board members and of compliance and fiduciary obligations. Because you do not understand, you lash out and criticize.

Nope. All are long time zionists and committed to the existence of the State of Israel. It is not a political letter, nor does it attack Netanyahu. The letter makes clear their support and love for Israel. Their concerns are motivated by humanitarian empathy, the impact upon democracy in israel, and the need to stop the ongoing loss of life. As far as letters go, it isn't radical and reflects the views of a large number of Israelis. It's actually, nothing that has not already been expressed by multiple MKs in the Israeli parliament. It is rather touching that this letter was issued during the Passover holiday, the remembrance when their Lord delivered them out of slavery in egypt and brought them back to their land of Israel. Jesus last supper was a Passover seder. Mod Edit: Removed copied and pasted text of the full letter which is way over the forums fair use policy

it really isn't an award. It is an invitation to participate in a sponsored continuing education program. More like a scholarship.

You make a lot of assumptions. What's your problem with the private sector's funding of the activities? It's nice that the governments don't have to pay for this. Are you anti business? Perhaps a commie? You too can join. https://www.weforum.org/join-us/pricing/ How is it meddling? Have you ever read the documentation? Swiss Re does a risk management report, Zurich Insurance prepares a report on natural catastrophes on the costs to society. Other companies participate in education and training need planning. You are regurgitating the nonsensical conspiracy claims that are unfounded. The issues discussed impact everyone. You object to commercial enterprises acting in a responsible manner. The participating companies have a moral obligation and a duty to their shareholders to participate. look at the topics discussed this year at the Davos summit; - How to improve innovation and technology - How to better invest in people through training and education and to give young people more opportunity. - The Chief Economists Outlook for trends in 2025 - Responsible guardianship of the planet - the balancing of profit and human needs with conservation, and sustainable development. - Rebuilding Trust in civil society institutions and in the business world. - The impact of AI None of the above is controversial,

The Young Leaders program is a 3 year study program intended for society's leaders and under the age of 40. It provides educational tools, specialized seminars, access to the world's leading academics and a secure forum where participants can discuss their problems and successes without their being spied on or ridiculed or criticized for asking questions of others. I doubt you actually read the "Great Reset" program. What you probably read were the Russian authored and circulated conspiracy claims. Even the Trump campaign has borrowed some of the ideas of the "Great Reset" with the suggestions to reduce government regulations and to build back stronger. There is valid criticism of the proposal saying that it is nothing more than a recycling of previous proposals that was given a catchy name. Recommending local resilience and having local food supplies is hardly revolutionary.

That's nice. They are allowed to have an opinion,and unlike those who dissent in Gaza, they won't be murdered. The people who signed off on the letter are "activists" and are special. 😶 People like Bailey Prevezer : She/They Bailey is a graduate in International Relations and French. Bailey places a strong emphasis on the development of gender understanding, and evolution of sex education corresponding with those questioning their identity at whatever stage they find themselves. Within sex education, Bailey believes everyone, no matter their gender/sexuality/skin tone, can feel included and supported in all areas and activities. Tommer Spence: A PhD student at Warwick Medical School, researching sexual and digital health. He previously worked for a number of third sector organisations in Scotland, and is currently a trustee of a national helpline charity. He has been engaged in issues around Israel-Palestine for a number of years, particularly in universities, and has taken part in work with Yachad and the Centre for Jewish Nonviolence. Lottie Blackstone: Graduate in Fashion. Her work is focussed on genderless and menswear design. All of them like Zac Bates-Fisher from Sheffield, seem to be really nice young people. He plays the saxophone, and does alot of volunteer work. And so on all down the list. Their credentials as zionists and supporters of Israel is evident. However, they are idealistic young people who try to see the good in everyone. One on hand it is encouraging. On the other hand, Hamas would slaughter them too and all their loving and good wishes won't protect them. Unlike the muslim community in the UK, they all seem to be very integrated and although practicing jews, quite secular in outlook.

This is his personal opinion and he has interpreted the information to fit his own bias. There is another claim that israel was informally propping up Assad because an unstable Syria or his removal would have allowed more radical elements to take power and to then attack Israel. Israel's enemy was not Assad but Iran. Timber Sycamore was a plan initiated by Arab countries to replace Assad. It was KSA and UAE driven with some support from Jordan and Egypt. The USA supported the initiative because Assad had crossed the USA's red line when the Syrians used poison gas and barrel bombs on civilians.

How to you manage to shuffle to the toilet when you are carrying such a big chip of resentment on your shoulder?

If you do not know what the curriculum is or what the subject matter is that will be discussed, on what basis are you criticizing the educational program that will be provided?

Trump is fawning over a country that has not respected his request to increase defense funding,and that has a large trade deficit with the USA. And yet he insults Australia which will spend a higher percentage of its GDP on defense than Italy and where the USA has a trade surplus.

The Trump administration has purged anyone assumed to not be loyal to the MAGA cause, so the assessment would have been done by a loyalist.

The train shown in the article is the Suvarnabhumi Airport Rail Link and it operates daily from 06:00 to 24:00hrs. You pay at one of the ticket machines. The money comes from your pocket.

How would you know? Have you ever attended a WEF educational event? Do you even know what the curriculum is?

Nope. The point is that people with no public service experience or large organization management experience are commenting on why a senior government official merits being extended an opportunity to add to her knowledge and to learn from world experts. The PM is being criticized because of personal bias and envy. It is not uncommon for large organizations to send personnel, particularly CEOS, COOs and young promising executives to educational programs specific to that class of person.

Was the adjective envious left off?

The claim of fighting anti semitism is merely a cover to undertake an attack on critics of the Trump administration. I am the last person who would defend the agitators who campaigned on behalf of Hamas and for the destruction of Israel. Suspending the funding of scientific research is wrong. It won't stop the protestors, and will instead harm innocent people.
