The daily occurrence of people going into uncontrollable fits of ultraviolence (sometimes even children) is very new, I have been living here since 2009. I don't buy the "it's just reported more than it used to" explanation, why would they suddenly decide to report more murders? Especially in a country which is so touchy about its image? It seems Thai people are becoming increasingly violent and erratic, and this needs to be looked into seriously.

And the fact that the Pfizer CEO himself had a bad feeling about it but was pretty much forced into it tells you all you need to know: mRNA was a technology, but we had less experience, only two years working on this, and actually, mRNA was a technology that never delivered a single product until that day, not vaccine, not any other medicine. So it was very counterintuitive, and I was surprised when they suggested to me that this is the way to go, and I questioned it. And I asked them to justify how can you say something like that, but they came, and they were very, very convinced that this is the right way to go. https://www.washingtonpost.com/washington-post-live/2022/03/10/transcript-wp-subscriber-exclusive-albert-bourla-author-moonshot-inside-pfizers-nine-month-race-make-impossible-possible/

Melatonin no longer available in TH?
rattlesnake replied to HauptmannUK's topic in Health and Medicine
I can confirm 100% that Boots have it. So even if a particular outlet don't have any at hand, they can most likely order it. And I also got some from LAB pharmacy. -

You can still get it in any pharmacy. -
The most prominent example of bad parenting is not being bothered to take care of your kids and dumping them with the grandparents. Officially to go work and earn money… but when said money is spent on a top of the range car one can't afford… enough said. My parents always drove cheap cars, but they were with me every day.

Never breathed my own carbon dioxide and never will. 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

A new study quoting epidemiologist Tom Jefferson demonstrates that masks don't work, and of course Fauci is doing his best to justify his actions on the matter. It would be funny if the implications weren't so serious. The piece quotes lead study author Tom Jefferson, an Oxford epidemiologist, as saying: “There is just no evidence that [masks] make any difference. Full stop.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/health/dr-fauci-covid-masks-cochrane-review-b2404761.html

I won't wear a helmet, makes me look stupid
rattlesnake replied to scubascuba3's topic in Motorcycles in Thailand
The problem is that most Thais have the village habit of just riding around helmetless, and they keep this habit whenever they are in the city, whether long or short-term. Hit them in the wallet, that's the only thing they will understand. They will never stop riding helmetless in and around the village, but will do once they hit the main roads and cities, where there is most danger, for fear of being pulled over and fined. A good example of this is the car tax, that pink square with the current year on it. This is systematically checked by the cops and therefore villagers who haven't paid it don't drive on the main roads or in the cities, because they dont want to be fined. Apply that logic to the helmets and I am sure it will work. -

The farangs who try to drive like Thais are very dangerous. I would have crashed into one the other day if I had not anticipated and braked before he crossed 2 lanes right in front of me. -

Good to know, I think they probably do the trick in most cases, but best to upgrade nonetheless. -

Good point, I'm currently wearing an Index which cost 1,500 THB, I need to get myself a Shark or a Shoei. -

Also worth stressing is the importance of full-face helmets. The crash statistics come from the Hurt Report and show that the most common area of impact on motorcycle helmets is the chin at 19.4% which spells “ouch” for open-face helmet wearers. https://www.webbikeworld.com/crash-statistics-motorcycle-helmets/ -

Long overdue.
