Facts not Opinions. Uncomfortable in your chosen higher risk positions  no doubt ( as with my lady) but there we are. 

Not uncomfortable at all, more than happy with my choices in life.  They've served me well.

 

I'd debate it with you, but prefer not to get put on restricted posting.

Have a nice day

    Ignorant people still going down this uninformed 'catch the virus so you become immune' rubbish, and risking severe consequences instead of getting vaccinated and if catching it having a high percenta

    I can answer your questions because I am at this moment in time suffering from Covid, having tested positive on Friday 15th April.   A couple of days before I actually tested positive I had

A friend of a friend is reportedly getting regular, severe night fevers months after a covid infection.

very rare to get any side effects after four weeks from ANY vaccination in history.

 

” Night fevers” could easily be malaria or dengue ; unconnected with vax .

Not from the vaccine, from an infection.

Facts uninterested in emotional decisions ensuring higher risk of death. Why on earth risk it ? quite irrational especially with family.

 

personally made a maximum effort over last 24 months here to minimize ALL health risks at age 65.

Diet /Exercise /Triple Vax / Water/ Sleep/ Relax/ Defensive Driving / No Extreme Activity / Calmness/ No Irrational Decisions/ Medical Insurances.

System to Stay Well with Best Odds.

It’s Entertainment not Science though.  

He reads from peer reviewed articles and sources from the BMJ and the office for national statistics, so no, it is science as the majority interpret it to be.

Nothing is made up, it's why they haven't taken his site down. All information is already in the public domain. He just brings it to peoples attention. ????

He is proven to misinterpret & misrepresent data. Then when called out by report sources  doesn’t respond. Refer Bkk Brian post here.  
 

He’s an unqualified unreliable middle man. I don’t take my motorbike to a cycle shop for repair.

 

There is No Science or Rational to listen to these people. Go Direct to Quality Source. Institutes/

Professors/  ONS.

Christ…. the abundant hypocrisy.

YOU are clearly part of that “ ivermectin etc.” clown show by promoting Nurse Campbell

What part of 'he does not present any opinions on anything' do you not understand. All information he talks about is available in the public domain. Sources such as the CDC are used and is the BMJ and various peer reviewed studies accepted by academics world wide.

 

Look at it just once & you will see all that he does is break down science and health jargon into easily understood language for the masses. That's it, nothing more!

 

Take the time to watch just one post or remain sounding foolish on here.

He’s NOT QUALIFIED to summarize other’s expert data. He makes serious errors in doing that. He was a NURSE only. It is your type of gullible irrationally that’s “foolish”.

Hmm... despite my lack of training and knowledge in this subject, I was leaning towards a preference of getting infected (by omicron)  rather than the 3rd jab of MRNA... everything I was hearing ... made me feel it was unlikely to produce symptoms any worse than a cold, and ultimately give better immunity results. 

In the end, got the 3rd jab...... 

Do both.

 

Eventually you'll get it.

 

No reason not to keep getting boosters to lesson the chance for a costly stay at a hospital.

 

Our entire family just recovered from COVID-19 after getting somewhere in Hua Hin despite taking care and staying at a 5 star hotel.

 

 

Very mild and happy to boost our immune system along with the vaccines.

 

Biggest worry was our toddler.

Fever for 3 days.  Fine on fully recovered by the 6th day.

 

Yai, 60's, diabetic still has a persistent cough.

 

The rest of us, 4 people, quick recoveries.

 

I'm glad we weren't sick from the beginning.  Might have been forced to stay in an expensive "hospitel".

 

I guess the Delta was mich worse to get.

  Get vaccinated, the next variant may not be so mild.

Not at all . He’s a Politician in my view and not a specialist Professor.

Doesn't meet my “ gold standard” .

Just curious ...... would this person meet your 'gold standard' ?  ????

 

If a scientist received his BSc in biochemistry from the University of California, Davis,, MSc in biology from the University of California, San Diego, and MD from Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine.  Attended Harvard Medical School for a year-long postdoctoral studies program and in the decade after earning his MD, taught pathology at the University of California, Davis and at the University of Maryland.

I believe he's talking about "long COVID" and not the actual vaccines.

No unless Professor and not holding political post.

Possibly. I already acknowledged to Ozimoron my responding post error in wrongly reading “ vaccination” instead of actual “infection”???????? 

Of course they recommend vaccination, just look at the money that is involved for them.

Well possibly ???? my point I guess was that it could be ( as you mischievously “ suggest”) unrelated or brought on by non- Covid causes taking advantage of Covid- weakened immune system or of course it might well be a direct “ long Covid” symptom and might be followed by others like brain shrinkage & cognitive disorders ….. lord,  quite deep this stuff.
 

Better to maintain maximum health ( including Triple Western Vax) to cut the odds of this bad stuff.????????????

Omicron Everywhere. Highly Contagious. All Hotels Rife with it. Unvaxxed Thai Cleaners with poor hygiene could easily leave it on room or other surfaces where it’s alive for 2-3 days away from direct sunlight. That would explain whole family in confined space coming down with it. 
 

triple western vaxxed with no conditions are catching it non- seriously, getting very sick for 3-7 days, like my western ex- nurse pal.

 

Personally, I seem never to have caught it, at least never had symptoms, despite moving through multiple intl. airports / flights in March 2020 in contact with hundreds of Chinese let loose for Chinese New Year then. 

 

My super fit Thai lady aged 40 & son 8 (both no conditions) remain unvaxxed and have had it several times with headaches & feeling rough for 2-3 days.

Despite some concern regarding the Covid-19 situation after the Songkran holiday, the Public Health Ministry’s plan to declare Covid-19 endemic by July still persists.

Sadly I am sure someone caught it from us before the full symptoms.  It was like a dominos effect with the 6 of us.

 

Personally I wouldn't even thought I was sick unless I had taken the test.

One of my friends just died of covid after having three vaccinations. It was time for his fourth which may have saved him. He was diabetic but it was well controlled and he was 78.

 

My best advice is take the lower risk road and get whatever vaccinations that medical experts suggest.

not  78  not diabetic, its  not  a lower  risk its  most  likely  useless in my situation

I hope you've weighed the medical evidence and read a balanced assortment of media sources to arrive at that conclusion.
