Does anyone else agree that all 'red-light workers' should be forced to get the vaccine and show evidence before returning to work.

All credibility out the window with this statement !

I will diarize for dec/ jan and send you a PM to quote you on this comment

I would rather they have to take a test to see if they can suck a golf ball through a garden hose.

Would seem more relevant and useful. ????

Which part of cloud cuckoo land do you inhabit ? We've already had one member post many months ago that by this year's high season there will be in excess of 10 million tourists here, I laughed then and today I am laughing at your ridiculous forecast.

 

And I have a reminder set on my phone to remind the aforementioned member of his stupidity as well. ????

 

[from the home of CC]

no, but all their customers should..

[kynikoi]

No one should be forced to get those ugly vaccines.

 

You want to be protected from them?

 

A. Don't visit whores

B. Get your own vaccine. Don't trust it?

No, he's suggesting, for some very odd reason, that 5% of Thailand's population will be hospitalised with Covid.

Nothing forced about fluoridation, one can always buy bottled water. Personally, I wish fluoride had been in water in my generation, then I would not have financed the Mercedes deposits of several dentists. My mouth was their fortune.

A vapid rejoinder. Take a look at the science, we need 70-90 percent compliance in vaccination

What a joke coming from you.

 

Why do "we need" 70%+ "compliance" (it's not compulsory so "compliance" is the wrong word). Trusting individuals to be honest is irrelevant if you are fully vaccinated, take a look at the science.

I think many uneducated Thai's need rules like this and they need decisions made for them.

 

To say you are a control freak would be justified by your comments alone, but I don't know you, so I pity any Thai female that comes across your path.

 

Forget the apps, why not brand them with a hot iron or tattoo numbers on them like Hitler did the Jews.

I put money on it that by December/ Jan (the next high season) tourism will be returning to normal here. Most countries around the world are giving the jab right now to their citizens. Its all happening and no doubt by year end all will be normal and busy again. I will diarize to send you a PM when Im correct about this xmas time. 

So you really think that tourism will return to normal by Dec this year? I will put it another way, what is the main obstacle for tourists coming here? The obvious answer is the ASQ situation. How long will it be between the time the quarantine stops and the tourists start coming the way they did before the Chinese virus?

 

The ASQ will not stop while the unelected "PM" and his soldiers offshore accounts are still rising, and even then it will take more months after that for flights to Thailand to be as they were before the virus, so I would say at the very least Dec next year.

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

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

Not sure about being forced but  I thing any Thai dealing with close contact with farangs  will get the shot.  A masseuse I know in Pattaya went home to her village because of  Covid  and shop  being closed. She contacted me by Line and said she is geting first shot this Tuesday and after getting second shot she will come back to Pattaya  and meet me at shop or other place. I think most of the Thai in contact with  large numbers of Thai  or Farang will get the shot to protect themselves  and in some cases to show farangs they have been vacinated and don't have Covid.  You might say a seling point.

[Alidiver]

Has the op been living in a Cave for the past year?

The vaccines are not designed to stop transmission but reduce the effect of the virus so you won't die. 

 

[khunPer]

Just ask the girls servicing you to wear face mask at all time, then you should be safe...????????

 

[natway09]

Thomas J,,, you are talking about back in the 80's

Just about all workers in the business would be first in the line if mean't they cud get back to work. The vaccine would just be another vocational hazard of which they are very good at aquiring a god response too,

But I ask again, where is this SiamBioScience Company charged with producing these vaccines ?  Not even an update given except to say 6.5 mil doses in June which I do not believe. The Government needs to import as a matter of urgency

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.

I suspect many of them will have vaccine certificates.  Whether or not they will be genuine is another matter.

do you agree that ALL such working girls should be forced to get the jab and be prepared to show evidence when requested.

No. If you are concerned, get the vaccine. Vaccines are meant to prevent one from catching the virus.  After all, they (she or he) could 'service' (kiss) a person who might be asymptomatic and then kiss you. Doesn't matter if they've been vaccinated, they've passed the 'virus' to you. (it might not catch hold in/on you (are you vaccinated), but it might)

 

Besides, maybe your working girl has already had COVID. Should she be made to get a jab? Already has anti-bodies...

If you're frightened by contagious disease, you should probably avoid prostitutes.

Never mind bar workers - everyone that can, should have the vaccine.  I heard a news story this week where someone said that those who refuse the vaccine are akin to drink drivers - I totally agree.  I'm pretty sure the anti vax squad will be along shortly to flame me but I think that's quite a good analogy.

This is a contradiction.  

 

The vaccine doesn't prevent infection, it prevents the infection reaching levels that would see the person become severely sick, thus, preventing death.

I think that STD's should have as high a priority as COVID in showing evidence of lack of infection, and they need to be tested frequently, chances are that COVID will one day virtually vanish, but STD's have been around for hundreds of years and probably will be for the same again.
