Irrelevant comparison. Please don't try to deflect. I am claiming that the premise according to which the vaccines are safe is wrong.

What is patently false is the following statement: "Side effects from the COVID vaccines are rare and mostly minor".

False, according to new research published in the peer-reviewed Nature Cardiovascular Research journal, which draws attention to serious new health problems that have emerged worldwide since the launch of the Covid injection operation (the most prevalent being myocarditis), and which are anything but rare: https://www.nature.com/articles/s44161-022-00177-8 Also worth reading is this peer-reviewed study published by a group of German pathologists, which presents autopsy findings in people who died unexpectedly within 20 days of getting injected with the mRNA technology, leaving little doubt that those were cases of vaccine-induced myocarditis: https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s00392-022-02129-5

If you want to refute what I said, please go ahead.

From a legal standpoint, the agent bribed the corrupt officer, then told the foreigner everything was fine and legit. Two perpetrators and one victim. Embassies only get involved if there is a diplomatic crisis brewing, which would definitely be the case if such a far-fetched scenario were to materialise.

In this case we would be talking about misrepresentation by a third party (the agent). The case could legitimately be argued before a court, possibly through class actions. An absolute mess, with lots of international coverage which would not be very favorable for Thailand. I am smiling as I write, as this is just absurdly impossible: such massive and deliberate exposure of how corrupt the Thai system is will never happen. And even more absurd is the notion that they could shift the blame on the farangs by deporting them. In Thailand, corruption is as natural as breathing air. Big Joke isn't Elliot Ness, he just wants to get rid of the Chinese mafia, and possibly holds a personal grudge against some of his previous acquaintances in the immigration ministry.

I think it's unlikely that existing visas would be voided. If they did decide to stop this practice, it would probably be effective with no retroactive effect. A precedent that comes to mind is the use of nominee shareholders, which at one time was widespread for foreigners starting companies. After the 2014 coup, they just stopped doing it, but those who had used these means previously did not get into trouble, at least not to my knowledge.

Another point worth mentioning is that, from a legal standpoint, the foreigners who used such agents for their visas are victims of the agency and immigration. These agencies don't explicitly mention that what they are doing is illegal, the foreigner (again, in legal terms) using this service is a victim of misrepresentation. In the extremely unlikely event that this should happen, there is no legal way to prosecute an individual who was told everything was fine by the agent (so technically fleeced of 20k) with the complicity of immigration, to my knowledge they don't sign waivers in the event of prosecution. The individual is a victim and could technically sue agencies and the Thai corrupt institution as a whole. Again, very damaging for the country's image and a logistical, technical nightmare. Not gonna happen.

If he goes down that path, there isn't an immigration office in the country that won't go down. This is the land of the corrupt, even in Hua Hin, the "city of no crimes", one immigration officer leaned across the desk and asked me if I needed "help" obtaining a visa a couple of years ago, when I hadn't asked for anything. No agents involved, direct offer from immigration, and I have heard such reports from several provinces. If that did happen (foreigners deported and wide publication of the endemic corruption), it would be incredibly damaging for the country's image and a logistical nightmare. Not gonna happen.

If you've followed the news lately, you will know that Big Joke is after immigration officers who are suspected of involvement in issuing visas illegally to Chinese investors in so-called "grey businesses". He's tracking down criminals, especially Chinese ones. He doesn't care about the average farang on a family visa. Relax and have a couple of Leos, nothing is going to happen, this is Thailand.

Thailand has gone from 0.84 in December 2020 to 473 in March 2023. https://ourworldindata.org/explorers/coronavirus-data-explorer?zoomToSelection=true&time=2020-12-17..latest&facet=none&pickerSort=asc&pickerMetric=location&hideControls=true&Metric=Confirmed+deaths&Interval=Cumulative&Relative+to+Population=true&Color+by+test+positivity=false&country=OWID_WRL~THA

Seems us "crazy conspiracy theorists" aren't so crazy after all… and this is just the beginning. The difference between a "conspiracy theory" and the truth is 1 to 2 years.

Matt Hancock suggested to an aide that they "frighten the pants off everyone" about Covid, messages published by the Sunday Telegraph show. It appears the former health secretary discussed when to reveal the existence of the Kent variant of Covid to ensure people complied with lockdown rules. In another exchange, the head of the Civil Service, Simon Case, suggested the "fear/guilt factor" was vital to the government's messaging. Source: https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-64848106

Not only in Thailand. I've heard of similar sordid stories in other countries, some of which are supposedly "developed".

Another thing is they don't drink enough water. But that's not just Thais. Lots of people are dehydrated and don't even know it. It causes all sorts of problems.

I can confirm that, it happened to me, thankfully the bill was just 1,500 baht. If you have insurance then always make sure you are taken to a private hospital.

Another gem from our "top virologist": "COVID-19 infection has subsided because more than 70% of population of each country has been infected." Yes, another term for that is herd immunity. Here is what Dr. Yong had to say about it in October 2021: Top Thai virologist claims herd immunity does not work with COVID-19 https://www.thaipbsworld.com/top-thai-virologist-claims-herd-immunity-does-not-work-with-covid-19/ Changing his tune, as he can feel the tide is turning, no doubt. What you did will not be forgotten, Mr Yong, and that applies to all those who, like you, lied, lied and lied again to push the jab on people.

From Thailand's "top virologist": "The death toll in countries where the population was given mRNA vaccines is not lower than that in countries which did not." Indeed. If I had said this here a year ago, I would have been banned. As expected, the truth is coming out. If "the death toll in countries where the population was given mRNA vaccines is not lower than that in countries which did not", what does that tell us about the efficacy and usefulness of the said "vaccines"?. I'll let the high IQs on this forum figure that one out.

I agree, however in this case we're dealing with a French Arab. They behave that way in France too, only the difference is that the police don't go near them there. These guys think Phuket is a tropical extension of France, as unfortunately hip hop personalities such as Seth Gecko (and movies such as Paradise Beach) have heavily promoted this.

Indeed, the only French thing about them is their ID card. They are the reason why I left Phuket 10 years ago, I didn't relocate 10,000 km away to put up with the scumbags I grew up with.

"The government no longer publicly reports either the ages of the cases/deaths or their vaccination status." Translation: they are all "fully vaccinated".

The comments under the tweet are very encouraging. In a nutshell: <deleted> off!

Same here. All this operation was a load of utter BS and everybody is realizing it now, apart from a minority of pathetic fanatics.

I'm with Fauci on this one: Dr. Anthony Fauci wrote in February 2020 that store-bought face masks would not be very effective at protecting against the COVID-19 pandemic and advised a traveler not to wear one. https://www.newsweek.com/fauci-said-masks-not-really-effective-keeping-out-virus-email-reveals-1596703

Likewise.
