The Cleveland Clinic study (April 2025) analyzed data from the 2024–2025 influenza season. - - a "negative vaccine effectiveness" of approximately -27%" Key Details of the Report The Study: Titled roughly "Effectiveness of the Influenza Vaccine During the 2024-2025 Respiratory Viral Season" (or similar variations in preprints). The Finding: The researchers observed that among their cohort of 53,402 healthcare employees, those who received the flu vaccine had a higher risk of testing positive for influenza compared to those who were unvaccinated. The Number: The statistical analysis showed a Hazard Ratio (HR) of 1.27, which translates to a 27% increased risk of identifying an influenza infection in the vaccinated group compared to the unvaccinated group during that specific season. This corresponds to a "negative vaccine effectiveness" of approximately -27%. Edit:/ clarity

I have a 2008 Honda CBR 150. The sticker on the petrol tank says "91". I'm guessing 91 fuel in 2008 maybe had a different composition to the "current day" 91. Am I wrong? If the garage doesn't have 91, can I fill it with anything else that won't damage the engine, or make it run rough? (Edit - oh, I see now, the small print says E10 is OK).

Thanks Briggsy. My Non-Imm B gets renewed every year based on marriage, along with the normal mountain of paperwork. My main concern is can I wait until the DTV visa is approved before cancelling my Non-Imm B and surrendering my work permit? I am also concerned re what eyebrows would be raised when I apply for the DTV - stating that I will - going forward - not be working for a Thai company, but will from then on work (remotely) for an overseas company. Should I be expecting an unannounced knock at the door to see what I am up to?

Could any of you legendry learn-ed folk please help with comments on the extremely complicated scenario outlined below, if able: I've lived and worked (with work permit) in Thailand for many years, staying on extensions based on marriage, but now may end my employment with my wife's Thai Co. as am only going to be here in LOS for 5 months each year, with the intention of working remotely. I would like to explore surrendering my WP and changing over from a Non-im B visa to a DTV, as during the time I spend in Thailand, I will now be working remotely for my small UK company. Benefits seem to be, I could keep 500,000 THB equivalent in a UK account (Gov't Premium Bond savings account?) and still (legally) work remotely for my UK Co. while in Thailand. OK so far? I'm guessing I'd be pioneering, suspecting there are no reports yet of someone attempting to go from a Non-Im B to a DTV. I do wonder what mental contortions that would put Thai DTV officials through though? Any helpful thoughts, anyone?

As another example of UK Gov't practice, my (Thai) wife is currently on the five-year route to getting Indefinite Leave to Remain in the UK. For the entire 5 yr period we have to supply evidence supporting the case that she is living and "habitually resident" in the UK. They have long since removed any "183 days" or "more than 6 months in a calendar year" criteria and replaced it with the "habitually resident" requirement. They are asking for 6-12 joint/individually addressed utility/bank/gov't correspondences evenly spread over the 5 years. So, we can assume the DWP will be equally fastidious when ascertaining "habitual residency" for re-linking state pension entitlements.
