Porked & busted: Thai woman nabbed for telling ‘pork’ pies 208 times

Medical experts in Thailand are advising high-risk groups to receive boosters for Covid-19, given a recent surge in cases and fatalities. This push comes in light of new data revealing approximately 700,000 infections and 205 Covid-related deaths in 2023, positioning Thailand as having the highest infection and death rates for Covid-19 in Southeast Asia.

 

Assoc Prof Dr Piroon Mootsikapun, President of the Infectious Diseases Association of Thailand, highlighted that the current wave of Covid-19 is hitting the nation harder than any other country in the region.

 

Most concerning are the fatalities in the so-called 608 high-risk group, which includes those aged 60 and older, individuals with chronic health conditions, and pregnant women.

 

Dr Piroon emphasised the severity of Covid-19 compared to influenza, pointing out that the infection rate and death toll are significantly higher. "Of the Covid-19 fatalities, 80-90% were in the 608 risk group," he noted.

Prof Dr Sasisopin Kiertiburanakul, from the Royal College of Physicians of Thailand, echoed the call for vaccinations, stressing the importance of boosters in preventing severe illness. The current booster shots are reported to offer 60-70% effectiveness in reducing hospitalisations and deaths among the most vulnerable.

 

Reports of Long Covid, which can affect other organs and significantly impact health post-recovery, were found in 15% of Covid-19 patients. Given this, the boosters gain added importance.

 

Community advocates, like Tanapol Dokkaew from the Kidney Friends Association of Thailand, are urging the government to ensure a steady supply of vaccines, particularly for high-risk individuals. “Covid-19 is here to stay, so booster shots are crucial, especially for the 608 group,” he commented, urging continued vigilance amidst increasing complacency, reported Bangkok Post.

700,000 infections and 205 casualties where at least 80% are in the "608" group... All I need to know 🙃

I think anyone considering boosters should beforehand start researching information on DNA contamination.

True, research is important, but not from a f****** politician.  I would consult my dog before any politician, who are generally know-nothing windbags no matter the country.

If you go to the link you will see that the co-signatories are not "********politicians" but are professors and doctors. Do you think highly qualified people such as the co-signatories are "know-nothing windbags"?

Typing a phrase into the google search engine is not "research", lol.

Indeed. Google like many other platforms is heavily censored hence the need for full independent studies where the results are freely available and are able to be researched and freely discussed without censorship. Choice should be an educated and free choice.

He, and they by extension, are indeed that if only for his misguided and damaging (given his platform) advocacy of ivermectin as a covid treatment.  
 

Straying off topic so I will leave it at that.

Ok mate. You believe what your are told by big pharma, CDC etc. and outright dismiss anything that counters your opinion and the narrative. That's your choice. What you've posted here is not classified as disinformation even though you mentioned the I word. If I was to post anything counter to your views that would be and I'm not allowed to. Interesting times indeed.
