Krungsri online banking discontinued from 1 October 2025
Nope. No have. Tried English and Thai versions, various pages. No indication the online service will go away. Maybe you got an email from a scammer and downloaded a clever pirate clone of the Krungsri app onto your cellphone? -

Fun Quiz > Covid-19 mRNA Vax harm denial - At which stage are you?
Dr Robert Redfield, former CDC Director, has expressed a clear preference for traditional "killed protein" vaccines (which use inactivated virus or protein subunits) making it evident that he is not anti-vaccine by any stretch. .... Just to put that particular discussion to bed: he not only supports vaccination but has administered vaccines himself. So, citing him as a credible source, but using authority selectively while ignoring his broader, pro-vaccine stance is somewhat questionable from perspective of an anti-vax debate.... His concerns are not about vaccines in general, but specifically about the novel mRNA platforms used during the COVID-19 pandemic. He noted, "I prefer the killed protein vaccines," and explained this by pointing out that mRNA was persisting in the body longer than expected in some patients - a point that deserves scientific scrutiny, not political spin... and I completely agree. Rather, his concerns and public commentary focus specifically on the newer mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccines. In one statement, he said, "I prefer the killed protein vaccines," citing the persistence of mRNA in the body, which, in some patients, appears to last far longer than originally expected - a point that deserves scientific scrutiny, not political spin... and I completely agree. This observation has raised questions about how long synthetic spike protein is produced, and whether such persistence could have unintended effects - particularly in susceptible individuals. Dr Redfield also stressed that more comprehensive information should have been shared with the public from the outset of the vaccine rollout. I agree. Transparency would almost certainly have led some people to hesitate or decline the vaccine, especially early on - but informed consent is a fundamental ethical principle. At the time, however, public health officials were acting under intense pressure amid a global pandemic, with limited data and overwhelming uncertainty - undoubtedly mistakes were made... I don't think anyone is arguing they weren't. During the discussion, the interviewer [Senator Jonson] shifted towards highly specific concerns, not mentioning, but clearly alluding to the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis. One pointed question asked what might happen if the spike protein produced by the mRNA vaccine were to bind to heart muscle tissue. While this is a valid question, worthy of serious inquiry, it lacked necessary context. Namely, that COVID-19 infection itself poses a far greater risk of causing myocarditis and pericarditis than the vaccine (as does influenza and the common cold). Multiple studies have demonstrated that the rate of cardiac inflammation is significantly higher in individuals infected with SARS-CoV-2 than in those who receive an mRNA vaccine. This raises the broader and often-misused question: is the cure worse than the disease? In the case of COVID-19 vaccines, especially during the early waves of the pandemic, the evidence strongly suggests that the benefits of vaccination far outweighed the risks - particularly in older or high-risk populations. That said, as data has evolved, so too should our assessment of risk-benefit balances in various demographics, particularly for young, healthy individuals - and the Dr mentioned this need for continued evaluation and study. Dr Redfield also raised concerns about the vaccine industry's accountability, arguing that manufacturers should not be immune from liability. I fully agree. There should be no double standard for public health products. If anything, there should be more transparency and oversight. Unfortunately, as we’ve seen with the processed food industry - whose products have contributed massively to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease - corporate accountability and public health interests don’t always align. To summarise: as we are posting this is thread concentrated with Ant-vax sentiment... The expert you have referenced; Dr Redfield, holds a position which reflects a pro-vaccine stance with a measured, scientifically grounded critique of specific technologies and the systems around them. It's not vaccine scepticism - it’s vaccine scrutiny, and that distinction matters.... --------------- I'd like to address the issue of the blood-brain barrier - a term that, understandably, tends to provoke alarm. Much like the words myocarditis or pericarditis, it sounds severe and clinical, often triggering strong reactions among lay audiences. Yet, in reality, many of these conditions can be mild, transient, or even asymptomatic - common after viral infections such as the flu, and often passing unnoticed. So, back to the blood-brain barrier - just the phrase itself seems to send a chill down the spine. It evokes images of something sacred being breached, of a dangerous foreign agent invading the most protected part of the body. But what does the science actually say? Do mRNA vaccines cross the blood-brain barrier? Based on current research and scientific consensus, the risk of mRNA vaccines, or their components - crossing the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is extremely low. The BBB is a remarkably effective, selective barrier that shields the brain from pathogens, toxins, and large molecules, including synthetic mRNA. There is no robust evidence that either the mRNA in COVID-19 vaccines or the lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) that deliver them routinely cross the BBB in humans at any clinically significant level. In animal studies, particularly in rodents and under high-dose or artificial conditions, researchers have detected tiny traces of LNPs in brain tissue. However, these findings are not representative of real-world vaccine doses or how the human body processes them. What about the spike protein? This is where some concern is often raised. In a small number of cases, circulating spike protein has been detected in plasma following vaccination (as discussed earlier), leading to questions about its potential impact on endothelial cells, including those in the brain's blood vessels. However, the spike protein levels observed post-vaccination are very low, transient, and no evidence has shown that they cause clinically meaningful neurological harm. Conversely, natural infection with SARS-CoV-2 results in much higher levels of spike protein, produced in a less controlled and more systemic fashion, and is far more likely to affect the brain. COVID-19 itself has been associated with well-documented neurological complications, including encephalitis, stroke, seizures, and prolonged cognitive issues - commonly referred to as brain fog. What are the known neurological side effects of mRNA vaccines? Rare events such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, Bell’s palsy, or brief neurological symptoms have been reported post-vaccination. But the incidence is very low - typically fewer than 1 in 100,000 doses, and often equal to or lower than the risk posed by COVID-19 itself or even by other common vaccines. Thus: The notion that mRNA vaccines may cross the blood-brain barrier and cause harm makes for an emotive discussion, but the scientific evidence doesn’t support it strongly enough. If any components do cross, it appears to be in quantities so minute as to be biologically insignificant, with no proven link to serious neurological outcomes in the general population. What we do know is that COVID-19 poses a far greater neurological threat. The balance of evidence continues to support vaccination as the safer path, mRNA vaccines too, particularly during high transmission periods or in vulnerable populations. All of that said, I agree with your underlying sentiment and that of Dr Robert Redfield and firmly believe that there must be ongoing, open, and transparent investigation into these mechanisms. Public confidence is not built on blanket assurances, but on honesty, data, and the willingness to ask hard questions. -

The Hero of the Dems is Back in the USA
I know you're not big on the rule of law. But just in case you haven't heard, U.S. Supreme Court rulings OVERRULE lower court rulings, including those of immigration court judges. And, it wasn't just the Supreme Court that called his deportation illegal, but the lower federal courts had also issued orders against his deportation and keeping his presence in the U.S. -

LA Mayor Bass statement on LA ICE roundup of Illegals…
They say history doesn't repeat, but it sometimes rhymes. Back then it was all about stopping the war in Vietnam. The anti-war movement was huge on college campuses. And the issues boiled over in the streets of Chicago during the Democratic National Convention. Between the Yippies and the Weather Underground, the craziness was real. And it felt dangerous. The connections between the two groups were more coincidental than real, although they both groups were spawned from the anti-war movement. US politics today? A slight twist to the background, perhaps, but the nuttiness is real, as is the danger. Today, it's not so much as an anti-war thing as it is a left/right thing. Or at least that's how the puppet masters are playing the game. How they're pulling the strings. Maybe it's good against evil? And some people think that Trump is the Great Evil. That's how he's portrayed. "He must be stopped!" Anyway, millions were allowed across the US southern border by the Biden administration in an apparent effort to create a voting block so huge that the US would never again have another Republican president. And today, the same anti-Trump mentality is at work. Deporting all of them would foil the plan. How bad to they want to stop Trump? Pretty bad. It seems as though they'd risk a civil war, just to hurt Trump and America. -

Non B to Elite Visa
Do you think an agency that assures you that it can do this is reliable or is there a risk that the request could be rejected? 🙏
