January 13, 20242 yr Again on this thread a very small yet very vocal minority take it upon themselves to dictate what others should and should not do, based on their own panic driven insecurities. And in effect doing the work of the authorities by promoting the narrative.

But as one of those you're presumably referring to, I haven't and don't generally "dictate" to anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing. I will say what I am doing... And I do present facts and information and recommendations from public health agencies and experts via news reports. But even they are not "dictating" anything to anyone these days, since obviously people are going to do whatever they choose to do.

January 14, 20242 yr Popular Post Even chula and rangsit unis have come out today and said that the so called vaccines cause deaths and serious illnesses , along with them saying the government has concealed the excess deaths of the population . Check out BP online as its the headline article at the moment .

Check out BP online as its the headline article at the moment . No . What they said is that they may cause disease and death. Not that they definately do . They add that the vaccines ' might let hidden diseases surface . This is not categorical. A bit like with Covid itself. It may cause death but then again in most people it probably won't.
January 14, 20242 yr There are certain potential side effects of COVID vaccines that have been well documented by researchers / health authorities around the world, although all the available evidence thus far says those are VERY rare and the risks of those are far, far exceeded by the risks from COVID. Since the vaccines became available in late 2020, more than 12 BILLION doses have been administered around the world. If something more problematic were occurring with them, you wouldn't necessarily expect the notion of that to surface out of the blue three-plus years later from two doctors in Thailand. If something is going on, have the Thai doctors involved written up their findings for medical journal review and publication (no mention of that in the BP article)? And what's the evidence, if any, for their claim that some unstated / unknown parties are allegedly suppressing some kind of problematic findings?

If they did report on such an issue they would maybe be charged under the less majeste law or struck off the medical registrar for such a deed .

You think popping up in a Bangkok Post article with mostly vague and unsourced claims is OK and consequence-free, but somehow the normal route of publishing in a medical journal detailing their findings for their peers to read and judge is going to have dire consequences?

I look forward to them actually documenting and proving their claims for their peers to read and judge in some medical/public health journal setting -- which is the way such things are normally vetted.

January 15, 20242 yr I was told I have Covid but then they gave me antibiotics for my bad bronchitus in Pattaya bangkok hospital ?????,,, er Covid is a virus and antibiotics dont work on Viruses. But this year has seen a spike in a very nasty brochial cough bacteriol infection world wide that is treatable with antibiotics but the reccomended dose is now 4 weeks to clear the infection ,, its usually only 10-14 days dose .BPH now admit I did not have Covid but bacteria bronchitus like many many people

January 15, 20242 yr The thing I have noticed over many years is that people are less and less inclined to be persuaded by evidence because there is so much conflicting evidence out there. So they choose the evidence that suits their belief. Evidence is now often used to support a pre-existing belief not as part of a process to come to a reasoned conclusion.
January 15, 20242 yr The antibodies cannot discern the difference of an antigen on an infected spike and an uninfected spike, why is this dangerous? Because it’s not targeted to a specific spike on the site and is distributed throughout the body in the blood. That alone should terrify anyone. Put it to a simple test, antibodies and antigen in a solution, what happens? Precipitin. Clumping. The booster antibodies clings to the ACE-2 receptor on healthy cells, now imagine that happening in brain cells and heart cells. mRNA is nothing to play with... This was pushed in panic mode by pharma and its investors who made a windfall.
January 15, 20242 yr Had Covid last week (tested positive) and the only exposure I could have had was using the elevator to go to the pool. Under 30 seconds possible exposure so super contagious. Used Virx nasal spray and didn't get sick. I'm 5x vaccinated and done with boosters. More effective to have an unopened bottle of Virx on hand.
January 15, 20242 yr Well, here in Bangkok, I see fewer and fewer Thais wearing a mask each day. Outdoors, I would say, as a wild guess, maybe only 30-40 percent of Thais wear one nowadays. As for foreigners, maybe only 5-10 percent. Of course, these percentages go up, for example in public transportation. I have always been pro-vaccine and pro-mask (but also very much anti-lockdown and anti-curfew etc). I still wear the mask most of the time in Bangkok, but come on, it has been nearly 4 fecking years. Just like many Thais, I am also fed up of this mask thing. The Covid thing will never go away for good. It will continue to exist, with various variants. And, most probably, each variant will be less lethal and less hospitalizing than the previous one. Sad that I am still worried about it and still wear a mask, but I think that quite soon, I will stop wearing one.
