You don't need a conspiracy theory to explain that. Maybe not, but you do need a conspiracy theory to explain how those very same people managed to get the dreaded 'covid-19'. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post zackxx Posted August 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted August 21, 2023 "Dr Sopon emphasised that vaccination is pivotal..." Well after Covid we (well those up with the data) know all about these "vaccinations" don't we.

You sound scared, pull yourself together man for gods sake, were you like this before covid?? no of course you weren't. There are always seasonal viruses floating around, people catch them, a small percentage will die, that is normal.

Probably leading to a reduced prevalence of flu/cold virus 'going about'.... although masks don't work and create health problems was a nonsense being bandied about at the time.

kimamey Posted August 22, 2023 Share Posted August 22, 2023 I think there were differences in flu cases in the UK. I can't remember the details but I think that lockdowns, social distancing and mask wearing caused a drop in cases, but that also meant that there was a drop in immunity that normally builds up. That then caused an increase in flu and other diseases transmitted by close contact as we got back to normal. Not a surprise but just needs a bit of care until we get back to normal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every fall/winter people got colds. Runny noses and maybe a cough and sometimes the flu. Some did some didn't. It didn't warrant mass injections of questionable substances.We carried on with life.I never ever saw a face mask until entered industry and they were called dust masks.This mass hysteria every time someone gets a sniffle is called a pandemic makes me wonder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A small minority? Must live in the tourist zones, or more likely deliberate porkies pies, so common these days. Chiang Mai gate market this morning, easily 80 % + of people had masks on. As this is shopping day I'll be at Rimping Ping river branch in an hour. Expect only 60-70 % there, because of the non thai customers.

We could be here all day exchanging articles, studies, etc etc. At the end of the day it should be a choice for each person whether they wanna wear masks or not, that's the bottom line.

Sorry, science doesn't work that way. You can't just say maybe someone something. You refute a valid argument like the one presented. But I don't think one can. I didn't mention choice but there we agree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
