Why is it sad?  What right do you have to inject yourself and your beliefs into the lives of others and find fault with their decisions. Do you tell others, vocally, how to live there lives....I thought not.

Let's put an end to parenting. Let's put an end to political agenda. Let's stop legal advice and psychological therapy, let's stop providing any advice whatsoever. Just in case someone does not welcome new ideas...

Misinformation is not a subjective thing. It needs to be called out each and every time and definitely censored.

And who decides that? The fact checkers? LOL

Are you in a bubble or something?

 

There's no covid restrictions anymore

Thai doctors aren't relevant? Your statement is about as xenophobic and narcissistic as it gets.

 

fwiw, the virus doesn't care about the law.

Pretty much.

 

If it ain't, we don't need to comply.

 

It's called "freedom"

When they are skewing "facts" to suit a narrative? No, I'm not.

You're deflecting. This debate has never been about what the law says.

What's the debate about then?

 

Doesn't the law factor into it?

 

Are are you just trying to ignore a logical point and a decent argument?

No, the issue is purely scientific. I have made this pretty clear. It's about respect, not only doing what you are forced to do by the law.

Not very scientific at all. Show me 10 peer viewed studies showing masks are great at stopping covid.

Are you asking us to re-litigate this for the millionth time? Love the cute use of the emotive "great" by the way. Way to go.

Show me the peer viewed studies on masks. Not science without it.

 

You claim its science.

It's been shown literally hundreds of times on this forum. Whether you believe them or not you're only showing your disdain for reading links. You need to at least admit those peer reviewed studies are there and have been posted.

A recent COCHRANE review38 found that surgical mask usage had very little or no effect on the risk of infection, with low (for respiratory illness) or moderate certainty (for laboratory confirmed infection).

It's not just airports. Every time I go to a shopping center I see the majority of Thais wearing masks and the majority of Farangs not wearing them. Civility demands we should wear them or go home in my opinion, regardless of any laws.

Funny thing is if you go ask most Thai's why they are wearing them they do not say because of Covid or fear of spreading covid etc etc

 

Instead the ones I've asked while out visiting friends in CM all say because people look at them funny when they don't.

 

So basically they feel funny about judgemental folks like your OP so they go full sheep mode

 

Yet back in the villages nearly zero mask usage here

Hundreds of opinions or real science? You seem confused between the 2.

It is but you can't deny it's against both medical advice and public opinion. The crux of the matter is that you don't care about that stuff.

I suppose that would be your "public opinion?"

Certainly not mine.

Why care about opinions? 8bn opinions. Most are poorly researched opinions.

Irrelevant, even if true (it's not). Like I said, when the locals stop wearing masks in supermarkets I will too.
