Tell that to the millions of Thais left unemployed and the tens of thousands of small business owners that rely on tourism for income. I'm sure they will be overjoyed to hear that it has only has a limited impact on their day to day lives. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Nanaplaza666 Posted February 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted February 9, 2021 9 hours ago, RichardColeman said: Wrong - if the UK new channels are correct. From what i hearing the UK, it protects against severe symptoms leading to death, but has less effect against meek or mild symptoms. It's very telling that many people put down the vaccine passport, without coming up with feasible other solutions other than complete country shutdown forever. Yes the virus will mutate and potentially get round certain vaccines - I think we can all accept that, but at some point you have to take some 'minimal risk' and open the planet up or you may as well just give up. I agree with you , just open up and take the risk . Scientists are saying that the normal flu is for 90% gone and that covid has come in it's place . Covid being a bit stronger needs a vaccine same as what people are getting now ones a year (the flu shot) . The whole world is going crazy with it's shutdowns and whatever . Ok people are dying but nr's say that in 2019 very little nr's of people died of the normal flu compared to the years before so the reason why they are saying that a lot of people died because of covid is that the year before the nr's where very low compared to normal . But actualy the nr's of covid deaths compared to flu deaths in the years before 2019 compared to 2020 covid are almost the same . And i didn't see them locking down the world for the normal flu . Ok maybe in the beginning covid hit hard but now almost no people are dying from it anymore (still are but that happened during normal flu season as well but you never hear anything about those nr's normally because that was counted as normal) the human body already started to evolve against covid that's why less people are dying nowadays not because of the vaccine because before the vaccine the nr's went down already .The powers in charge just try to scare the people more and more with their british strain , african strain whatever strain it's all THE SAME COVID it just mutates and the human body evolves against that . The world should just open back up again and let people get on with their lives because these lockdowns and whatever are destroying peoples lives more then Covid does . 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D M G Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 What is the problem with self-quarantine? – It’s enforceable by both manual and modern means. – It has an immediate impact on the economy with a limited danger of spreading of the virus. – It can be rolled out to select groups: the Retired, Employed, Educator, etc. – It’s a Win/Win for the Government, the unemployed locals and the disgruntled foreigner. I have not heard a legitimate objection or discussion. This should be questioned, analyzed, addressed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, just accept the fact that this virus is here to stay, just like the winter flu and learn to live with that. Go back to the old normal, vaccinate those who are at risk groups and those who want. Otherwise we'll see what so many horror movies show us about future societies that are effected by unbeatable virus and the creation of "clean" cities ruled by dictators and kept "clean", and those infected being thrown outside the walls. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Monday Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Suradit69 said: There already exists a World Health Organization approved vaccination booklet that was accepted by countries around the world as proof of vaccination against such things as Yellow Fever and Cholera and as a record of other vaccinations. Why it cannot be amended and employed to include recognized Covid-19 vaccinations remains a mystery. As to evidence of tiny grains of intelligence demonstrated in reaction to the pandemic, Thailand has been way ahead of some major players in Farang Utopia world in terms of intelligence. I have one too. White color cards are handed out in USA for now for covid injections. Good for recording information for yourself and your MD. Already being faked as well as covid-19 test certificates. Not instilling enough confidence to help return to large scale international mobility travel passports being developed by IATA have nothing to do with a bit of paper or easily faked rubber stamps and stickers. https://www.iata.org/en/programs/passenger/travel-pass/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdemundo Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 3 hours ago, Henryford said: I thought the manufacturers had admitted that the vaccines do not stop one from getting Covid or transmitting it, just reduces the severity of the illness. So having the jab means nothing if you visit an unvaccinated country. Not exactly right. The vaccines do protect against illness which is what the trials were designed to test. Whether they prevent transmission is unknown for most of them because the trials did not test for this. I believe only AstroZeneca/Oxford has tested for preventing transmission and seems to provide some protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rioD Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 A vaccine is not a cure nor is it an immunization. The vaccinations are merely designed to reduce the risk and or impact if and when exposed.

thetravelbee Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Hope the thai authorities will not fall for this absurdity. Quarantine is necessary and will still be necessary for a while longer. Although it could and should be reduced to a 7 days isolation after 3 consecutive negative tests. Ie 72 hrs prior flight, upon arrival and 3 days in. In my view, it would be much preferable and safe to ease the measures gradually, at least until sufficient Thais are vaccinated. People (tourist) mays start responding to that. But that is only in my view of course. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newnative Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I can see why they are against it since they have been so slow and have not administered any vaccines to Thai citizens and likely won't until June at the very earliest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
