I am of Grampa age, but do not want anybody to wear a mask in my vicinity. And I have never worn myself, with the exception of official services that required mask-wearing in order to provide you with a service. And needless to say I didn't got COVID (and if I did it must have been unnoticed).

Mandating everybody to wear a mask, just to provide some misplaced sense of safety to those that naively believe that "masks work" is akin to forcing everyone (including children) to take the jab to "protect" granny...

Let's hear this dr THIRA's current views on COVID, instead of recycling a 4-month old article. And for the record > I distinctly remember that dr YONG was lauded as Thailand's Top-virologist on this Forum during the pandemic, with him constantly emphasizing the need for getting jabbed (he even recommended jabbing all +6 month old children).

> You have been chatting with her for 19 months, but seem to have some doubts about her truthfulness. Stories about Pattaya - Sin city of the World - might have created that doubt. Not all bar-girls are hookers or gold-diggers, but to find out you need to meet her in real life. And you can check-out her bar working-place while over there. > Pattaya is not an island... Just saying but note that it also casts some heavy doubt on your story that you don't ask her about accomodation...

Imo so-called 'long COVID' is nothing more than vax-fanatic speak to obfuscate some of the adverse effects of the 'safe and effective' mRNA covid-vax.

Only gullible brainwashed fools would roll up their sleeves again for this scam...

The article as published on May 24th, 2024 in Oxford Academic - QJM (International Journal of Medicine) also features this graphical abstract. This large study, conducted in Seoul, South Korea, analyzed data from a random 50% sample of city residents aged 65 and above, totaling 558 017 individuals. Findings showed an increased incidence of MCI and AD in vaccinated individuals, particularly those receiving mRNA vaccines, within three months post-vaccination. The mRNA vaccine group exhibited a significantly higher incidence of AD (odds ratio [OR]: 1.225; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.025–1.464; P = 0.026) and MCI (OR: 2.377; CI: 1.845–3.064; P < 0.001) compared to the unvaccinated group. No significant relationship was found with vascular dementia or Parkinson’s disease.

It's not even half-sleep, it is mostly self-delusion.

Although that's true on the purely physical plane, that statement does not acknowledge that there are levels of consciousness in Man. Man 1, 2 and 3 represent man whose basic condition is mainly physical (1), emotional (2) or mental (3). Note that none of these 3 stages are superior or more advanced than the others, and that these 3 levels account for 99,95% of mankind. To these 3 the saying of 'Ashes to ashes, dust to dust' is applicable, as there is nothing permanent in them. Man 4, 5, 6 and 7 (the remaining 0,05 %) are altogether of a different kind, and have achieved a degree of being awake/conscious. While in man 4 it are still just flashes with (long) periods of automatic behavior (acting/feeling/thinking) in between like in men 1, 2 and 3, in man 5 there are longer periods of that enlightened stage and the difference is profound between him and man 4. Man 6 is once again a huge step-change difference with man 5 as he is concious/self-concious all the time. In man 4, 5 and 6 pure consciousness is crystalizing in their being, but it can still be lost (although traces of it will remain as consciousness is never truly lost). Man 7 is the highest that man can achieve, he is living consciousness and from a totally different order once again, you could say that man 7 has achieved God-consciousness. Simply coming in contact with men of levels 5, 6 or 7 will have profound spiritual consciousness effects. Needless to say that all the hurdles/temptations of the physical world are 'trying you out' and have the effect of keeping man at the lower levels. And someone that has achieved level 7 is an extreme rarity and blessing (think Buddha, Lao Tse and Jezus) and such people represent the light of the world.

Yawn....

Hi Owl, I don't have a chess-board but took me approx 5 minutes to figure it out. I won't be a spoil-sport for other chess-members here, so I did send you the solution PM. 🙃

Hi Owl, good idea but please use modern notation for moves (p-k4 is e4 in modern notation).

Re NOK's ordeal that she has nobody to play chess with her. She could sign up to Chess.com - it's totally free and you can play chess on-line with people all over the world in bullet, blitz, 10 tio 30 minute, and multiple-day time-limit games (there are 12 varieties of time-limits to choose from). The site also features thousands of chess-puzzles, chess lessons, chess news and much more.

That's an easy one, but I will not spoil the quiz by giving here already the correct answer.

Yes, we were told many things. Why people still trust these 'expert opinions' when being confronted later with the opposite, is beyond me...

The recently launched Hope Accord, which also calls for recognition and support for the vaccine injured, addresses five key priorities: Immediate suspension of COVID-19 mRNA vaccine products: It says mRNA vaccine products should be suspended immediately due to a growing body of evidence suggesting a link between the vaccine rollout and alarming trends in disability and excess deaths. Comprehensive re-evaluation of COVID-19 vaccine safety and efficacy: It demands independent investigations to thoroughly reassess the safety and efficacy of all COVID-19 vaccine products, ensuring transparency and full disclosure of data. Recognition and support for the vaccine injured: The accord stresses the need to acknowledge and support individuals who have suffered vaccine-related injuries, providing them with the necessary medical care and compensation. Restoration of ethical principles abandoned during the COVID-19 era: It calls for a return to core medical ethics, including informed consent, bodily autonomy and the protection of children, all of which were compromised in the last few years. Addressing the root causes of the current predicament: The accord advocates an honest investigation into the factors that led to the current ethical and medical issues, including institutional groupthink, conflicts of interest and the suppression of scientific debate. Since its launch early July 2024 it has amassed already 37,565 signatures from people supporting the Accord.

Repeating the same lie over and over again, doesn't make it come true...

Unsubstantiated claim...

A Reuters article from Oct 2022, and a study from Jan 2023 and July 2023. Looks like you are really scraping the bottom of the barrel to find any recent studies contradicting the findings of that Italian study.

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-2607/12/7/1343 Some interesting findings in this recent (30 June 2024) published study ... A Critical Analysis of All-Cause Deaths during COVID-19 Vaccination in an Italian Province Quote: Further studies are certainly needed. However, despite the limitations described above, the results of this study can be an opportunity to rethink political choices about pandemic management and support greater caution in the future. 5. Conclusions The correction of ITB has allowed us to eliminate remarkable distortions due to this bias from the original study about the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines, carried out in the province of Pescara, Italy. Moreover, the original study study showed that the group who received at least a booster dose had an unlikely significantly lower risk of all-cause death versus the unvaccinated, unlike those vaccinated with one or two doses who had significantly higher risks than the unvaccinated. We found all-cause death risks to be even higher for those vaccinated with one and two doses compared to the unvaccinated and that the booster doses were ineffective. We also found a slight but statistically significant loss of life expectancy for those vaccinated with 2 or 3/4 doses. = = =
