From public health blogger Katelyn Jetelina, who runs the widely followed Your Local Epidemiologist blog and is a professional epidemiologist and former scientific advisor to the CDC: Bullets in the windows Until now, it was only a metaphor. Aug 10, 2025 "On Friday, my phone lit up with urgent texts. First: gunshots, lockdown. Then the photos—bullet holes punched through windows, shell casings scattered across the floor, videos echoing with “pop pop pop.” The CDC campus was under attack. Dozens of my friends and colleagues were inside." ... Those bullet holes are a haunting, terrible metaphor for what public health has endured over the past six months—and the past six years."

Also, Richard Barrow's Thailand trains website has a stations list for the Southern line... But the individual arrival times are probably out of date as Barrow notes: "TRAIN TIMETABLES: LATEST NEWS: I have now removed the printed versions of the timetables released by the State Railway of Thailand as they haven’t been updated since 2023 and 2024." The Southern Line stations list can be seen here, with the obvious change of substituting Krung Thep Apiwhat for Hua Lamphong: https://ttsview.railway.co.th/SRT_Schedule2022.php?ln=en&line=4&trip=1 And a bit more info on Southern line stations here: https://www.thaitrainguide.com/railway-lines/southern/

You can go to the SRT's ticketing website that is available in EN language, enter in the origin and destination stations, and your intended date of travel, and it will spit out all the available trains, and their departure and arrival times, for the intended trip. I don't believe the ticketing site shows each station en route on a particular trip.... but I have found those kinds of details elsewhere. https://www.dticket.railway.co.th/DTicketPublicWeb/home/Home Choosing a particular train from the available departures then brings up ticketing options such as what class, air con or fan, and even seating maps that show the still available seats. Example below, BKK to Hua Hin trip on the Southern Line:

The now-deceased shooter murdered a policeman and fired dozens of rounds of gunfire into various buildings at the CDC campus in Atlanta... I think the thread above is getting a grip on the incident quite well.

Perhaps you both should read (or re-read) the opening recap provided by the New York Times, in terms of what's the point here: "he attacked the institution that has been at the center of rampant conspiracy theories and misinformation about the federal government’s response to the pandemic. [emphasis added] ... The attack has provoked alarm and outrage from the community of public health officials and workers whose efforts have been maligned and politicized. They argue that the shooting was a manifestation of false information that has surrounded the vaccine and animosity directed at the agency." (more) New York Times https://archive.ph/brsqk

ER doctor and public health columnist Jeremy Faust, in his Inside Medicine blog, reported on an internal CDC meeting (via phone and Teams chat) some staff had Saturday with newly confirmed CDC director Susan Monarez regarding the shooting, Faust's column linked below provides a recap of the call provided by a participating CDC staffer. Below are excerpts from Faust's column: "Overall, my interpretation is that agency staffers felt supported by the agency—though they had reasonable questions about safety mechanisms—but expressed misgivings about HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the White House. ... Staffers who spoke up in the chat window during the meeting called on HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and the White House to condemn both the attack itself and vaccine conspiracy theories. (Such messages apparently received “a ton of likes” in the Teams chat.) One CDC employee asked whether Director Monarez had yet spoken to Secretary Kennedy about his plan to address the incident. Monarez deflected, saying the agency had been in communication with the “Office of the Secretary,” and the it was a “fluid and dynamic situation.” When pushed on whether Monarez had spoken to the Secretary herself, she again bobbed and weaved, saying “We’ve been in constant communication with the Office of the Secretary.” https://insidemedicine.substack.com/p/cdc-staff-told-attack-was-targeted

Pretty much ANY drug or medical procedure has POTENTIALLY serious side effects, and the various countries' health authorities have acknowledged that regarding COVID vaccines since the very beginning, while also correctly pointing out that the serious health risks from COVID the virus/disease FAR outweighed the very rare, uncommon actual (as opposed to fabricated) health risks from vaccination. In short, your odds were much better getting vaccinated than not. Contrary to your claim, here's the U.S. CDC publicly talking and reporting on the issue of vaccine side effects in fall 2021, still early in the pandemic and less than a year after the start of widespread COVID vaccinations. 2021 Oct 16 Reactogenicity within 2 weeks after mRNA COVID-19 vaccines: Findings from the CDC v-safe surveillance system Discussion "From December 2020 through March 2021, over 4 million COVID-19 vaccine recipients provided information about their post-vaccination experience to the CDC v-safe surveillance system. During the first week following vaccination, we found that local and systemic reactions were common, and occurred more frequently after dose 2 and more frequently among mRNA-1273 [Moderna] recipients. ... Our findings from millions of v-safe responses suggest that common reactions following mRNA-based vaccines include injection site pain, fatigue, headache, myalgia, chills, fever, joint pain, injection site swelling, and nausea." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8519847/ But the same report above also noted what was known as the time about more serious but still very rare side effects: "A report using Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System data has already estimated that rates of severe allergic reactions and anaphylaxis were 2.5 and 4.7 cases per million doses administered for the mRNA-1273 and BNT162b2 vaccines, respectively." At the time of this CDC report in fall 2021, U.S. COVID deaths were running about 10,000 PER WEEK! https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00 I went with the odds, thanks very much!

There have been some very rare and serious side effects associated with mRNA vaccines (suicide isn't one of them!). But the small number of those have been dwarfed by the mountains of misinformation, unsupported claims that have been spread on social media and elsewhere, including by posters here on this forum. Not to mention the vastly larger number of people who have died from COVID and continue to die from COVID even now, with those not current on their vaccinations dying at much higher rates than those who have kept current. [see next post below] For starters, in the case of the shooter here, there's been NO documentation produced thus far that any COVID vaccine was in fact responsible for whatever maladies the guy had or believed he had. Time will tell on that front. But either way, that's one guy... And in the meantime, we have the following based on more than 1 million COVID mRNA vaccine recipients: "The nationwide cohort study, published this week in JAMA Network Open, included 1,585,883 people (54% female), of whom 1,012,400 (64%) received the updated mRNA COVID vaccines containing the JN.1 lineage. ... No increased risk of 29 adverse events ... They found no statistically significant increases in the rate of hospital contacts for any of 29 adverse events during the 28-day period after patients received an mRNA vaccine."

About Chikungunya Chikungunya virus is spread to people by the bite of an infected mosquito. Symptoms can include fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rash. There are no medicines to treat chikungunya virus disease (chikungunya). Vaccination is recommended for some travelers. [emphasis added] https://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/about/index.html Chikungunya Vaccines Aug. 6, 2025 Two chikungunya vaccines are available in the United States: A live-attenuated vaccine (called IXCHIQ) that uses a weakened form of the chikungunya virus to prompt an immune response to help prevent disease. A virus-like particle vaccine (called VIMKUNYA) that uses a molecule that resembles the virus closely enough to prompt an immune response to help prevent illness. This vaccine does not use a live or weakened form of the chikungunya virus. Some travelers at higher risk of exposure to chikungunya virus should consider getting vaccinated before their trip. https://www.cdc.gov/chikungunya/vaccines/index.html There also was an update on the issue of senior citizens receiving the IXCHIQ vaccine (the live-attenuated one of the two available vaccines) in the past week from the U.S. FDA, as follows: (keep in mind, this is the Trump Admin/RFK Jr. HHS FDA below saying this) FDA Update on the Safety of Ixchiq (Chikungunya Vaccine, Live) FDA Removes Recommended Pause in Use and Approves Required Updated Labeling August 6, 2025 "On May 9, 2025, FDA issued a safety communication informing the public that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) jointly recommended a pause in the use of Ixchiq (Chikungunya Vaccine, Live) in individuals 60 years of age and older while the Agencies undertook an investigation of postmarketing reports of serious adverse events, including neurologic and cardiac events, in individuals who have received the vaccine. ... Based on the available data, and its benefit-risk assessment, FDA has removed the recommended pause in the use of Ixchiq in individuals 60 years of age and older and has approved updates to the Prescribing Information and Patient Information that it required of the company, Valneva Austria GmbH." https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/safety-availability-biologics/fda-update-safety-ixchiq-chikungunya-vaccine-live In reading the FDA's announcement, it says the labeling info for the live-attenuated vaccine has been revised to recommend its use "in individuals 18 years of age and older who are at high risk of exposure to CHIKV.... “Vaccination with Ixchiq is not advisable for most U.S. travelers. For most U.S. travelers, the risk of exposure to CHIKV is low." And the warning section likewise has been updated to say: "...serious adverse reactions that have been reported during postmarketing use with Ixchiq. ... These reports suggest that individuals 65 years of age and older with one or more chronic medical conditions may have an increased risk for these serious adverse reactions following vaccination with Ixchiq."

This is what the worldwide flood of COVID and anti-vax misinformation ends up helping to produce, as a mentally disturbed gunman (read domestic terrorist) peppered the CDC headquarters buildings in Atlanta with gunfire and shot and killed a responding police officer who tried to stop him: Gunman in Deadly C.D.C. Shooting Fixated on Covid Vaccine, Officials Say The shooting in Atlanta, which killed a police officer, followed the spread of false information around Covid vaccines and animosity directed at the agency, public health workers say. Aug. 9, 2025 ... "Law enforcement officials said that Patrick Joseph White, a 30-year-old from the suburbs of Atlanta, opened fire on the complex of buildings on Friday afternoon. He had become fixated with the coronavirus vaccine, believing that it was the cause of his own physical ailments, officials said, and he attacked the institution that has been at the center of rampant conspiracy theories and misinformation about the federal government’s response to the pandemic. ... The attack has provoked alarm and outrage from the community of public health officials and workers whose efforts have been maligned and politicized. They argue that the shooting was a manifestation of false information that has surrounded the vaccine and animosity directed at the agency.

[emphasis added] White, 30, opened fire at an Atlanta CVS on Friday afternoon and hit at least four CDC buildings across the street, police said. DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, a 33-year-old married father of two with a third on the way, was killed in the gunfire, officials said. No civilians were injured. The gunman was found dead in the CVS, but officials don’t know “whether that was from officers or if it was self-inflicted,” Atlanta Police Chief Darin Schierbaum said Friday."

The 30-year-old shooter also tried to get into the CDC's headquarters in Atlanta but was stopped by guards before driving to a pharmacy across the street and opening fire late Friday afternoon, the official said. He was armed with five guns, including at least one long gun, the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to publicly discuss the investigation."

Another in a long line of whack-job conspiracy theorists posted here opining about public health / medical matters in which they have absolutely no professional expertise or qualifications pertinent to the posted topic. There's a good reason why these posts are in the "Off the Beaten Track" subforum. About "I (James Roguski) have been calling out lies and propaganda for decades. On February 11, 2022 the company that had hosted my websites for over a decade deleted my account and tens of thousands of hours of work. They gave no reason other than my content violated their “Terms of Service.”" ... Your Doctor Is A Liar Natural Cancer Cures ...

The actual correct statistics and counts re U.S. COVID deaths and the proportion directly related to COVID -- not years-old recycled misinformation posted by another poster here... Per the CDC as shown below, 87% of the total U.S. COVID deaths during the pandemic had death certificates listing COVID as the underlying (meaning primary) cause of death, with the remainder listing COVID as a contributing cause. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid19/index.htm And, as for the years-old misinformation claims from back in 2020 at the very start of the pandemic when there was some uncertainty about how to count and classify COVID deaths: Fact check: 94% of individuals with additional causes of death still had COVID-19 By Reuters September 4, 20203:11 AM GMT+7Updated September 3, 2020 "Shared thousands of times on Facebook, posts claim that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) “quietly updated” its COVID-19 data “to admit that only 6% of all the 153,504 (U.S.) deaths recorded actually died from (COVID-19).” According to the posts, the CDC stated that the other 94% of people died from other causes, and that only 9,210 people have died from COVID-19. This claim is false. [emphasis added] ... VERDICT [on the original social media claim above] False. The 6% figure represents death certificates with COVID-19 listed as the only cause of death, but the remaining death certificates listed additional conditions, either COVID-19 complications or pre-existing illnesses, along with COVID-19. https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-factcheck-94-percent-covid-among-caus/fact-check-94-of-individuals-with-additional-causes-of-death-still-had-covid-19-idUSKBN25U2IO/

The forum has rules limiting how much of original news reports can be quoted in threads... But if you had bothered to read the linked news report cited at the top of this thread, you would have seen the following: "Actually: Vaccine experts say there is no evidence that COVID vaccines caused the COVID virus to mutate more quickly. University of Surrey immunology professor Deborah Dunn-Walters told the U.K. Science Media Centre on Aug. 6, “Mutation is a natural process that occurs with these viruses, and the use of any vaccine does not impact it.” https://www.newsguardrealitycheck.com/p/rfk-jr-cites-three-false-covid-vaccine
