webfact Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Picture: Daily News Thailand's Anti-Fake News Center investigated with the Medical Services Department after a post online suggested people with Covid-19 at home should gather six medicines to treat themselves. This was found to be fake news and should not be shared, said the RTP deputy spokesman Pol Col Krissana Pattanacharoen. What drugs would be assigned to what patients was a job for doctors, he said, and not to be suggested by posts online. Complications could arise presenting a danger to the patient if medical advice was not followed and people went it alone. Contraindications were a case in point. The spokesman warned of five year prison terms and 100,000 baht fines for fake news like this under computer crime legislation. Daily News published four ways that the public can tell the authorities if they suspect fake news. -- © Copyright ASEAN NOW 2021-08-03 - Whatever you're going through, the Samaritans are here for you - Follow ASEAN NOW on LINE for breaking COVID-19 updates 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jimbo2014 Posted August 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 3, 2021 There is a huge amount of Fake News circulating in Thailand that we have to avoid. For example, we were told Covid was under control, that Thailand had secured sufficient Vaccine, that Thailand would be a hub of Vaccine production throughout Asia, that further lockdowns should be avoided, that the health Minister understood health. The police are right to fight such fake news! 7 4 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The police are right to fight such fake news! Fake news is everywhere. I was just reading how IAG, the Spanish conglomerate that owns BA and a slew of other European airlines are blaming their sector's financial struggles on governments and their quarantines. Absolutely no mention at all about Covid-19. "In its half-year results the Anglo-Spanish firm, which also owns Iberia, Vueling and Aer Lingus of Ireland, blames “government restrictions and quarantine requirements” for the continued slump in aviation. ..." Does this spin for investors and the markets qualify as fake news? Maybe the concept of root cause doesn't exist in the boardroom. https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/british-airways-iag-flights-passengers-b1893529.html Edited August 3, 2021 by NanLaew 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burma Bill Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 8 hours ago, webfact said: people with Covid-19 at home should gather six medicines to treat themselves. For reference from today's "The Nation":- "The DES spokesperson announced on Monday that “reports claiming that paracetamol, ambroxol, dextromethorphan, chlorpheniramine, Vitamin C, and green chiretta [fah talai jone] can cure Covid-19 have been checked by the Anti-Fake News Centre" https://www.nationthailand.com/in-focus/40004137 These medications cannot cure, but are used to relieve the symptoms of covid-19. I am not infected but for me, I self medicate with paracetamol and vitamin C (my own homemade fresh lime juice as I am a "limey"!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobU Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 A fair application of the laws. These people are promoting untested and unrecommended 'home' remedies and effectively telling customers not to report their illness. They are dangerous and anyone who follows such advice will be a hub of new infections so the pandemic will never end it will always break out again because of such fools and their followers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relying on government, which has its own agenda, is hardly reliable in matters of truth and transparency. Fools and their followers come in all shapes and fashions, some even advocating believing those who are the oppressors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realfunster Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Dear RTP, Please start with a thorough investigation of the below claims, which were widely published in the media on 29th July : Anutin chimed in that from next month Thailand would be getting 10 million doses of vaccine a month. The authorities would be able to vaccinate a million people a day throughout the country, he said confidently without explaining the obvious discrepancy.
