You have no idea whether there is a connection or not. "I don't care what happens to you": well that's the problem, isn't it? I thought the whole point of this vax thing was caring about the welfare of others… or was that just a load of BS? (Rhetorical question).

I know two people (both in their 60s) who developed this immediately after the jab. One is sure the jab caused it and says she deeply regrets giving in to the social and political pressure. The other is in complete denial and has just had her 4th shot (she's a doctor and the depth of her indoctrination is unfathomable).

The title implies that taking the vaccine prevents infection, which everybody knows is patently false. Let's try to be a little serious and reasonable, if that is at all possible: as a friendly reminder, a Thai study from last summer (link below), showed that 18% of kids had an abnormal EKG post-Covid shot. A vaccine is not supposed to do that to anyone, let alone to a child!!! The paper also notes that "cardiovascular effects were found in 29.24% of patients, ranging from tachycardia, palpitation, and myo/pericarditis.” That's almost 30% of the cases. All I can say is thank God I didn't make my beloved child take this "vaccine"!! https://www.preprints.org/manuscript/202208.0151/v1 This study focuses on cardiovascular effects, particularly myocarditis and pericarditis events, after BNT162b2 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine injection in Thai adolescents.

Lots of social sites have seen an exodus of their users over the past couple of years, essentially because of the censorship they have enforced on dissenting views, with regard to the Covid crisis and the political responses to it. This has been very problematic given the dire consequences of the said crisis and responses. Asean Now heavily censors dissenting views in the name of "fighting misinformation", a trope which has been used ad nauseam in recent times to stifle any attempt at intelligent, productive debate. It therefore comes as no surprise that smarter individuals migrate elsewhere in order to have actual conversations rather than partake in mindless copy/pasting of subsidized media narratives. Authoritarianism is never popular, nor are those who side with it, and the platforms who condoned all of this will inevitably end up in the garbage heap of history.

But you are aware that it was a joke, right?

Isn't it a limited amount per transfer? In theory you could make several transfers as long as they are not above the limit.

One option is to pay by card if you have one associated with your Santander account. Obviously this is a lot more expensive (depending on the card it will set you back up to 1,000 baht per 1,000£ transferred) but if you need money quickly it can be handy. Another option is to open a Wise account in GBP (a pretty straightforward process) and transfer money to it in (either by wire transfer or card) in advance. You can use the associated Wise Mastercard for withdrawals anywhere including Thailand (the Wise fees are low but of course there is the 220 THB fee), make payments such as on Lazada etc., and send money to your Thai bank account in a few seconds when needed.

Good (and obvious) point. I have been called "antivaxxer" countless times on this forum, and I am fine with it, they can call me that if they want to. However, the fact that I have had pretty much all the basic vaccines prior to 2020 would seemingly contradict that. Unless there is a retroactive effect, of course…

I was asking for clarification about the following statement you made: Insurance won't cover COVID costs if you are not vaccinated. Sounds like the false claim "you can't travel internationally if you are not vaccinated" which I have debunked several times on this forum.

Which insurance is that? Mine (Allianz) covers 100% without asking for proof of vax. Not that I would make a claim for a mere sniffle anyway.

Vaccination status of these people?

Lots of the "Frenchmen" you see in Thailand are North-African immigrants who are into Thai boxing.

Spot on, I'm French myself and these guys (any French person will recognize the type instantly just by their attitude and clothing) are a disgrace. I left Phuket a long time ago because of them (I didn't relocate 10,000 km away to have to stand the same scumbags I grew up with).

What is the vaccination status of all these people clogging up the hospitals?

Amen.

You keep on believing that.

Quality geopolitical analysis… There is an important distinction to make between those who triggered the conflict and those who made it inevitable. Western leaders will fight till the last Ukrainian and trigger WWIII in an attempt to quell the major social unrest which has now become inevitable in their countries due to their policies. Tell me, who has been bombarding the Donbas populations since 2014?

And it's by design.

Still a lot safer than my home country of France where you can't walk around after 8 pm without risking your life.

That's not what he was recruited to do.

I saw à guy jogging with one on yesterday, he was the only guy on the road. It's just sad at that point.

It's called the elephant in the room. It will inevitably come out, unless it's covered up by a world war, which would be rather convenient.

You keep on wearing it if it makes you happy. I chose not to inhale my own carbon dioxide and never made my kid do it either. Each to their own.

And for Covid we already have them. All the informed people know them.

You're simply in the wrong country if you're looking for someone to stimulate you intellectually. I find Thailand amazing because it has taught me to think less and enjoy the moment more, which has made me a whole lot happier.
