He is among that group of people who has realized that if you try talking through a mask, what comes out is mumble, mumble, mumble.

 

There is no one in front of him within spitting, coughing or sneezing range so what's the problem?

Mumble,mumble,mumble

Vaccination does not guarantee non spreading.

 

I think everyone is quite aware of that but its more than highly unlikely to create super spreaders

One needs to be practical. If someone who is known to be truthful refuses to name countries, after having made a statement about them, then give them the benefit of the doubt and assume they are being truthful. 

 

If someone who is known to be liar or who comes from a culture in which habitual lying is acceptable, refuses to name countries, after having made a statement about them, then don't assume they are being truthful.

"If someone who is known to be liar". That means all politicians of major parties.

..................Though he was at pains to point out that being vaccinated did not necessarily mean you coundn't get the virus just that serious consequences were much reduced. ........................

 

 

EXACTLY............being vaccinated does not mean you cannot catch it, have it, spread it............if the point of border restrictions is to stop spread........then a vaccine passport is MEANINGLESS !!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Total and utter BS.

We need to open up the world to travel with no quarantine right? So long as people are vaccinated then this is the only way, or have I missed your point?

I'm not so sure it's that simple. Be nice if it was but I don't think it is.

If I were a betting man. that would also be my conclusion. However (and I think perhaps that you and others should note this).

 

It is reasonably well-known that the government surveils TV quite closely. TV itself makes a point of saying so (well, implying so anyway). What is less well-known is where the 'crimping' power comes from whereby they are able to do anything about it if the forum content does not meet with it's approval.

 

Thanks to an email from another member, I now know what the leverage is that is used, and if correct, then it reflects well upon nobody involved. I also know (from the same source) how follow-up action against any member is predicated. and that does not reflect well upon anyone involved either.

 

I fully expect to be barred from this forum today and that this post to be removed - probably as ; 'off-topic'. It's not a biggie; like others, I have watched what's been happening and how the price tag has been recovered. Or not. There are alternatives.

 

Hey ho... it was ever thus.

Vaccination is not a passport to travel, as vaccinated or not you could be carrying and spreading the virus.

 

Quarantine is needed for all passengers, and PCR test negative.

 

Vaccinated or not does not make any difference to the spread of the disease................ in fact, letting vaccinated people travel without PCR testing and no quarantine will increase the spread.

So close up the world forever? Or manage the risk when vaccinations are complete? This virus is never going away have you not heard?

Where do you get this junk from?

Even the worlds finest scientists do not have an absolute answer to whether or not vaccinated people infect others, but they are saying that current testing and investigation appears to provide a much lower risk, however investigation is on going and assessment is being carried out on every registered vaccine brand.

Whilst one notes that you allude to the word COULD it has to be said that unless “and one doubts it “ you are of a seriously greater scientific ability than the worlds finest one suggests that you stop spouting FAKE NEWS and you allow the scientists to carry on with the sterling work they do without being undermined by the likes of you.

If you have absolute 100% corroborated proof that what you say is true I will stand corrected, but not before you show everyone here who reads Thai visa the scientific documents to back up your aspertions.

The vaccines do not have 100% efficacy.

 

It is common knowledge to anyone with a brain that vaccinated people can catch, carry and spread the virus.  

 

Most vaccines will only claim to protect the person themselves from getting severe disease. It does not stop you getting the virus, carrying it or spreading it.

Fully vaccinated against COVID-19? So, what can you safely do? - Harvard Health Blog - Harvard Health Publishing

 

.......Can I see family and friends who don’t yet have the vaccine, and socialize without my mask if I am fully vaccinated?

The risk that you’ll develop COVID-19 is low if you are vaccinated and attend a gathering indoors with others who are not vaccinated. However, please be aware that you can potentially spread the virus to others. Vaccination does not completely shield you from becoming infected with the virus; it just lessens symptoms and severity of disease. So, it’s possible that you could have no symptoms or only very mild symptoms, and still pass the virus to your family and friends who are not yet vaccinated................

This is conjecture not absolute scientific proof, quite simply no one knows for sure yet!

[RR2020]

Conjecture.....................

 

LOL

 

Do you know what EFFICAFACY results are ????

 

When they say Pfizer is 95% effective..........it means 5% of the vaccinated people get COVID.

 

When they say Sinovac is 70% effective.....it means 30% of the vaccinated people get COVID.

 

 

THAT IS SCIENTIFIC PROOF.

 

Being vaccinated is no 100% guarantee you will not get, cannot carry and thus SPREAD.......Covid.

 

 

All we are seeing now its vaccinated people who jumped the queue now demanding they should have complete freedom - sorry - no.  Vaccinated or not you can still carry and spread the virus !!!!!!!!!

Listen to yourself !!!

Your original post stated quite clearly that vaccinated or not ALL people will infect others, and now in order to try to back up your own mis-information you turn to efficacy and again get it wrong.

 

The efficacy rates are all about whether or not vaccinated people will catch Covid19, and the percentages are those who could catch it after vaccination, it has nothing to do with getting infected, having no symptoms, and passing it on after vaccination,  that is an entirely different study.

 

The current ongoing scientific research shows that 30 to 50% of vaccinated people do NOT infect others, which looks pretty good considering this research is still in it’s infancy because of the slowness of vaccination rollout in countries around the world.

 

So yes, I do understand “efficacy “ and having been a part of the Oxford AstraZeneca Covid testing and research program for the last 10 months I think I have a fair understanding of many other things concerning this very real and horrible disease, but I would not profess to knowing even a tiny bit more than the scientists.

 

In conclusion, If you live in Thailand I can understand the fears expressed here about tourists bringing covid in but remember that the majority of infections to date in Thailand have come from unvaccinated  Thai returners and Myan Mar border hoppers, so if you have not been vaccinated you should get it done ASAP because currently if you socialise you are potentially a very high risk spreader.

 

.

Current research also shows that age groups between 10 and 20 year olds are the biggest spreaders with 20 to 40 year old bringing up the rear, these are people who have not yet been vaccinated and because they are continuing to disregard the no mixing rules are thus infecting those around them.
