I do wonder if Thai academics are really this stupid or is it the way the media reports their comments that make them seem so. 

Both.

 

If this "swimming pools are dangerous" rethoric would be based on reality, swimmers would have a statistically significant higher incidence of hepatitis A, enterovirus, adenovirus and norovirus. Which is not the case as there are zero epidemiologic reports confirming this. And there are plenty of swimming pools, plenty of people who do swim, and plenty who do not swim, so any correlation would be pretty obvious.
