internationalism Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 that spray was never tested on humans, just in vitro in laboratory tests. It's not known, if they are going to do animal and human trials at all. The prime minister was conned into supporting commercial campaign, without checking with FDA if manufacturer claims are true.

What a pityful sight of an obnoxious foreigner not respecting the mask wearing of the other 99%. I never said that I am not wearing one. I actually wear them in places that are signed required. but where I am 90% of thais do not wear masks in public. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I pretty much rely on my immune system to do what it does, and does an excellent job at that. Simply fight, kills all things entering my body quite successfully without any of the products, potions, sprays, creams, meds, vaccines, the snake oil salespersons are pushing. 68 yrs on, and seems to work perfectly, all by itself. Imaging that. I prefer not to fix, what isn't broken. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedrogaz Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 If I were a betting man, I would bet that this is totally untrue, that the citrus spray has no activity when measured properly, and that the citrus nasal spray never sees the light of day (outside Thailand.) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spilornis Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 After this covid interval is finished I hope someone collects all the false information given out. In Malaysia for all of 2020 they ran an ad saying that on arriving home all clothes should go straight into the washing machine, sanitize yourself, shower etc etc. Made it sound like a decontamination unit. Not to mention all those people washing their groceries with bleach before bringing them into the house. Remember the "deep clean" businesses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also the very lowest risk to any serious effects of covid, if even noticing they've been exposed to it, as along with most people, only experience mild flu symptoms, IF that.

That’s called survivor bias, how about you come back and let us know when you die and what you died from so we can make an objective evaluation. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stocky Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) I was listening to a programme on BBC Radio 4 a couple of weeks ago about the effectiveness of nasal sprays sold as a defence against colds and flu. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001gl6g One of the products reviewed was Vicks First Defence, which acts by creating an acidic environment within the nasal cavity which viruses find it hard to survive in. The mechanics behind this Thai nasal spray seem similar, with the citrus extract (citric acid) creating the acidic environment. The expert opinion was there was evidence, albeit in very limited clinical trials, that this approach had some merit. .

And by the way remember when they announced that Thai researchers had developed their own vacdine? Whatever happened to that? Yeah - put hydrogen peroxide up your nose. I'll wish you hadn't.

All in all, it means nothing. Here's the broader look at the chart info you excerpted above: And, not surprisingly, there is actual real and more current data on that subject that you could have cited, but didn't. According to the US CDC, for example, there have been since the start of the pandemic in the U.S. alone 637 COVID deaths of children ages 0 - 4, and 986 COVID deaths among youngsters ages 5 to 18. So anyone suggesting children are somehow immune from serious health impacts from COVID is simply wrong. And these CDC numbers below only deal with youngster COVID deaths, and not the far larger numbers of COVID hospitalizations and COVID illnesses. https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Deaths-by-Sex-Ages-0-18-years/xa4b-4pzv 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
