In an alarming public health update, the Department of Disease Control (DDC) has noted that the annual influenza infection figures have exceeded 970,000 this year. A stark increase from last year’s number at this point, this figure is triple the magnitude, conveying the highly contagious nature of seasonal flu.

 

A fatality has been reported among the infected individuals. The unfortunate case is a 39 year old male beset with complications stemming from both alcoholism and chronic liver disease, stated Deputy Director-General of the DDC, Dr Sopon Iamsirithaworn.

 

Dr Sopon emphasised that vaccination is pivotal for those classed under the at-risk population, including anyone crossing the age of 65 and those grappling with chronic ailments. Meanwhile, he urged others to exercise isolation and use face masks if they find themselves with influenza infection symptoms.

So this fellow dies from Covid 19...(the unfortunate case is a 39 year old male beset with complications stemming from both alcoholism and chronic liver disease) whats the message here? his health was in jeopardy due to drinking but covid killed him?  

One foot on a banana peel the other on a skateboard.  

I heard he was the only guy his age in Thailand drinking too much. He had it coming because flu shots are mind control

Haven’t worn a mask in a couple years and don’t plan on wearing one again. It’s pure fear tactics and why should anyone care if they choose to wear a mask then they are “protected “. Utter rubbish. If it’s not one thing it’s another. They don’t want to lose their sheep. 

You can let this particular campaign go now......nobody cares a hoot if you wear a mask now, (although not wearing one must give you fr less personal ego massaging than it used to)....take a nap, or why not join the weed liberation campaign, or rights for pit bulls group?

There will always be the flock of sheeple for the government, W.H.O. and W.E.F. to control.

t is only now coming to light that lockdowns, forced vaccinations, etc are all against the basic human rights of every individual.

Plus they did not work.
