Based on the fact that many tourists will be visiting Thailand this year for their holidays to enjoy themselves in the Thai bar / massage scene, do you agree that ALL such working girls should be forced to get the jab and be prepared to show evidence when requested. Perhaps the local govt' could put the onus on bar manager to ensure all his workers are vaccinated and be fined 20,000 baht per infringement. It would be easy enough to show proof on a phone app. 

 

I think many uneducated Thai's need rules like this and they need decisions made for them. Otherwise many will probably not get the jab and thus covid will continue to be a problem in Thailand. 

 

What do you think about this nanny state suggestion?

No, I don't.

 

It's clear you are only worried about yourself in this scenario. It's likely, these girls are on birth control, so higher chance of blood clots with the vaccines.

 

It should always be a free choice. 

 

Would it be best for their customers - sure - but it still must be their free choice. It's likely they will have to show paper that they were vaxed b4 their boss rehires them again anyway.

Not really any of my business. 

If the Communist government of China is vaccinating its people home and abroad then it shouldn't be something  as simple as selecting one social circle to vaccinate  and hinder the spread of covid.   It should be everyone and it should be a blanket plan to overcome the logistics that are the primary challenge.   If China cares enough to cover its people globally then whats happening in the free world that governments are only caring for their people in their borders.  Expats pay taxes, and they arent getting the same representation as the tax payers within borders.  There should be a committee that assigns responsibility for each social circle  and job group and dealt with equally.  

Encouraged....yes......induced....yes......forced........... no.

If the customers are Vaccinated, then it shouldn't make a difference to them whether the workers are vaccinated or not.

If a worker(in any job in any country) chooses not to get Vaccinated and contracts Covid. Then I have no sympathy for them if they have a severe reaction to the Virus.

I would of thought it was a social responsibility to get vaxxed.

However, it should be voluntary not enforced.People should have a right to choose and suffer the consequences if they choose not to. Like not being employed in some areas.

No, you set a precedent like that and there is an unreasonable risk of "where will it stop".  

I'm all for public health and safety but humans can't be trusted with that kind of authority.

Sure why not.

And make sure the 1000's of freelancers entering the discos and clubs show their vax card prior to entry.

None of it will be done or work OP.

Seriously, tourists returning in droves? No way.

 

Secondly, if you are going to play with prostitutes the last thing I would worry about is Covid.

 

STD's would be first on the list.

 

 

"Does anyone else agree that all 'red-light workers' should be forced to get the vaccine"

 

I don't think anyone should be forced to do anything with their bodies, in any country.

Personal freedom is important.

 

What next work camps for the unemployed?

Forcible adoption for the children of single moms?

 

And .........

How do you decide who is a red-light worker?

Many of us give our wife/gf/partner an allowance, is she then a 'red-light' worker?

Another thing?

 

Where are the vaccines coming from?

 

Seems at last count they were still 68,000,000 short.

 

 

Did you ever see one of those signs in a bar?

How did it work? Did everybody care about it? Did the manager react right away if anybody smoked?

Everybody who visits a cinema, pub, disco, Mall, etc., should produce a digital vaccine passport on a app.

LOL

 

i would think that anyone who has either previously or is currently frequenting and using the services of those in the ""red light" professions should have been or should be far more concerned about contracting other communicable diseases.  

Statistically, 95% of those who contract Covid won't even require hospitalization.  I doubt you can say that if they contracted HIV, syphilis, gonarehea, chlamydial, herpes, or many other transmittable illnesses that are far worse and HIV is not curable.

Would you care to expand on that 'many tourists visiting Thailand'. As Thailand is yoyo'ing every day, Covid exploding, state of emergency extended, the sandpit has not been proven yet to work - if ever, no tourists are coming so far. So please explain the theory behind it ? I concede the fact if you consider many somewhere between 5 and 10.

 

 

boxing analogy apt here ....... “ defend YOURSELF at all times”...... individual responsibilities & choices

in addition to any govt or private premises rules compliance........

So you are OK with 3,400,000 (5%) requiring hospitalization here in Thialand?  Jeez

Off topic,

But most of the diseases you listed are fairly trivial and/or easily cured/managed.

You missed HPV ..........

No such thing as sex workers in Thailand so irrelevant.

Rtaher  use  my  hand or my Wifes thus reducing the risk to almost zero.????

Well it's  way better than 95% now isn't  it.

Are you assuming every single person in Thailand contracts Covid?

Anyway, wheres the vote button?

You would hope they are well when at work, but should not be forced to jab. My worry for them would be, back in the old day when I was younger, they would seriously be huffing and a puffing as I gave them a serious hard work out. If CV-19 was involved they might need a tank of oxygen to recover from just after this romping activity comes to a climax.

I don't know. What's her name?

I'd suggest many of the women selling sexual services in Thailand would indignantly deny being prostitutes.

IMO trying to implement such a proposal would be like herding cats.

Could be left up to the individual establishment. Word gets around that all employees at a certain establishment and vaccinated and tested for STD once a month. Then "sales" go up.

In a way I agree that it should be compulsory, but for every single customer as well.
