A herb with woowoo powers to treat asymptomatic Covid patients, promoted by the government, despite experts warning against it as it only lead to people having false hope, risking further infections, as the herb has no proven effect in Covid treatment, nor does it have any other proven health benefits. Could just as well swap it out for some Timothy grass and the gullible would claim effects like no tomorrow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aussieroaming Posted August 24, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 24, 2021 6800 relief bags for selected family and friends of the MP's more likely. There are enough billionares in this country to feed every mouth until the pandemic ends if they stopped pillaging the assets and gave something back to the people. There have been some astounding stories of generosity over the last year in Thailand as groups of private people teamed up (Thai and Farang) to provid relief for poor people, these people and groups are real hero's, so thank you to those genuine teams that have been doing this. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negative views of this positive action are being hammered furiously into keyboards right now! And that surprises you? Is it not the actions (or inactions) of such ministers that have put so many in dire need now. These guys have skimmed off the cream for years, and are now giving away a few curds. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
