I guess there was no way for Astra Zeneca to know that the vaccine was going to cause people harm?

But 24 studies said this would never happen again……

Haven't been paying much attention during the COVID pandemic?

Review estimates 69% 3-dose vaccine efficacy against long COVID

Much lower long-COVID prevalence among vaccinated

The pooled prevalence of long COVID was 11.8% among unvaccinated participants [emphasis added] and 5.3% among recipients of at least two vaccine doses.

You can post studies until your blue in the face we have seen over the last few years the credibility most studies have nowadays. Im talking real world people here not fairytales from compromised institutions.

Find me one or maybe two, you cant

Show me one person with "long covid" who is unvaccinated, I beg you.
Rarer than bigfoot and the lochness monster combined

HK and China will be the best markets to be in for 2024 and 2025, My Opinion FWIW

They have been beaten up for a long time now. Just looking Unicom already bounced back strongly. Power assets holding also which looks very cyclical. These markets seem a good contrarian bet. Why those companies over any others? Alibaba being the most obvious

Some of the ones you mentioned are trading on more than one exchange, why did you choose the exchange you did?

Mood changes linked to drops in blood sugar are a common

I was thinking similar but I would be checking to see if she is pre-diabetic. Get some blood tests to check.

HB1AC is a good marker but even better is fasting insulin which will tell you earlier if you are heading in the wrong direction.
Id argue everyone should be getting these checked as a marker for health annually from age 30 onwards and earlier if your overweight.
Diabetes/blood sugar fluctuations are reversible (diet not pills) and its the root cause of so many issues.

I know for me if I sleep soon after eating I always wake up hungry.

If I go to bed a little hungry Im never hungry when I wake up.

If one wants to make money off weather it's apparently quite easy to BS enough people to mint it.

The propaganda machine is working overtime to convince people that it's all our fault and if we buy an EV and pay more tax the weather will change to utopian.

Better get used to it, the world looks to be exiting the great cooling period and now temperatures are rising to get back to historical norms.

As hard as it might be to comprehend, the Weather changes, it has always changed and it will always change in the future.

Hi 👋😉
I'd like to do the following:

- Enter on a tourist visa, multiple entry . Use the time to find a condo, etc.
-"Switch" to an investor visa, elite visa, retiree visa, etc. Depending on what's possible - financially i can afford any of these.

BUT -
1. is this allowed? And would I need to move out of the country before 'switching' visas?

2. And if i'm NOT in the country, does it imply i should be in MY home country (the UK&France) or can I apply from ANY other country (i'm thinking vietnam)

The reason I ask is that I don't have 'home base' the moment i leave for SEA, so I have to plan my moves very carefully. I have lived in the PI for a long time so travelling around SAE doesn't scare me, but getting 'stuck' does

Cheers!

Whats an investor visa in Thailand and since you can financially afford it Im guessing you know the requirements?

Every visa has different requirements but I know with the elite visa you dont need to leave the country.

When a candidate is as hated as RFK is by the mainstream media (propaganda) then there’s a good chance your on to a winner. Almost as hated as Trump.
The only candidate that I know of that looks to have some integrity and an independent, not part of the uniparty.

I see a lot of propaganda about how "dangerous" he is but never anything to support it.

Perhaps you can explain just how Trump is dangerous, as I have no idea what you mean by it- is he going to create an army of Brown shirts ( in the next 6 months ) to arrest all the liberals and put them in concentration camps perhaps, or invite the Russians to take over the US, or some such?

I suspect you don't actually have anything to back up your rhetoric, so I won't hold my breath waiting for an explanation.

Cut her off. Block all comms. Move elsewhere if she knows where you live because you dont want her showing up out of nowhere after a few weeks. Otherwise shut up and deal with it, it's your choice.

People will vote for Trump, because Biden's policies on the border, the economy (inflation), and foreign affairs are the worst in fifty years. Trump is a horror, too. But people perceive him as the only option to a brain-dead Biden. There is an option, however, and that is RFKjr. People need to look at him. If you can't stand the two old puddin' brains, Biden and Trump, RFKjr is an easy choice.

Would be an easy RFK vote if I was a voter. Have watched quite a few of his long form interviews. He seems like a genuine guy. Former drug addict he knows what hitting bottom means and has come through the other end a better person. He is well versed on many topics and speaks often about learning valuable lessons fromhis father and uncles.

I dont agree with alot of what he says but I think he is the type of person who is smart and humble enough to know what he knows and knows what he doesn't know and would get people to fill the gaps to make alot of changes of the better. I cant see him having any chance of election unfortunately because the whole process is a joke but for me he is easily the best candidate

Choosing to fact check just one of your misstatements. Waste of time to check the rest:

https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/28/politics/fact-check-rfk-biden-secret-service-protection-denial/index.html

Fact checking with CNN. Brilliant. One of the main purveyors of propaganda in the US. Completed captured by big pharma or any other donors willing to pay them some money.

The same CNN that done a mass media smear campaign on Joe Rogan for taking "horse dewormer" to treat covid. Who was back in the gym training two days after taking "horse dewormer". The same horse dewormer who's inventor won a nobel prize medicine award that is taken by billions of people every year.

Your a case study in everything that is wrong with people today, brainwashed beyond belief thinking a google search is not censored.

Now go watch one of the dozens of multi hour interviews with RFK and you will likely find out the truth, from the horses mouth. Thats too much hassle isn't it, you want google and CNN to tell you everything.

Daughter went to Thammasat, rated #6 (in Thailand) for business/economics, even though accepted at the other 3. Submitted her application too late for Chula. Except for 'Songkhla, we actually visited the other 3 campuses, along with a few others, talking with students & alumni, before choosing, and money well spent:

Many of the top universities are really only good due to the networking effects.

I think this is probably true for Thailand too Or do the who's who in Thai society study abroad?

Well said Sir. It just amazes us non Americans, that a large part of the US population cannot see what a threat he is to their country. They seem to enjoy the razzamatazz that the USA is noted for that he uses and seem to be blind to what he really is. Would anyone want their daughter to marry someone like him? A man who openly boasts about sexualy abusing women. A very dangerous, narcissistic individual.

As a non brainwashed non American under Biden there is war in every corner of the globe

Inflation is through the roof everywhere

Billions are being sent to foreign countries while the US falls apart domestically.

There is a homeless, immigration, drug, gender, energy, cost of living and debt crisis on US soil under Biden.

The US deficit adds one trillion dollars to its debt every 100 days now under Biden.

There is record low numbers wanting to enrol in the Defence forces because its a woke cesspit

Freedom of speech is as close to non existent as it has been in my lifetime, almost all the media is captured, colleges are woke cesspits that I wouldn't send a dog to, censorship is out of control, twitter, rumble and spotify some of the very few places left to hear an alternative opinion to the mainstream agendas

Biden has denied RFK secret service protection, the first time ever for a US president to deny a candidate this.

Biden regime is doing everything possible to try prevent Trump from running including weaponising the legal system with shambolic lawsuits another first in a presidential race

One could go on and on but no, I'll listen to a movie star giving a performance who couldn't be more detached from reality of everyday people

And yes Trump isn't great but he is better than whats there by a wide margin.

Imagine a country of 300m and those two are the best it has to offer. That tells you everything you need to know about politics in the US. The system is beyond broken.

I should also add - this is all being done under the Biden regime, Biden himself wouldn't be able to tell you which way is up he is in such poor health. He has to be escorted on and off stages, he cant even read a teleprompter, constant mistakes, The guy should be in a home. I won't go into the more dark side of his past but its easily findable and its alot worse than anything I have read on Trump.

My local hospital confirmed they don't offer a podiatrist service and referred me to a local private clinic.

600 BHT per toenail. Booked in this coming Saturday.

I plan on going to a local clinic in the coming days in Phuket. If nothing else I expect they can point me in the right direction. 600b seems cheap, I wonder if they provide a good service? Where are you located?

If you can find an aloe vera plant apply the gel. And stay off the foot as much as you can.

If only raw and no sign of infection there isn't much a podiatrist can do even if you could find one.

What do you do with an ingrown toenail in Thailand, Is there no podiatrists/chiropodist?
Looks like my big toe might be getting infected with this now.

How can solar get cheaper when wages are rising everywhere and the input costs (inflation) to build solar panels are alot higher now than last year? Solar/inverters and commodity prices will be going up if anything imo.
