Paranoia is fueled by fear and anxiety. And certainly your belief that governments, health organisations and pharmaceutical companies are engaged in in a massive global conspiracy to deny the truth about the vaccines is a striking example of paranoia

Why would they bother? Global conspiracy is an AMERICAN phenomenon. It's limited to brain dead looneys in Europe & the UK.

Labor laws in Thailand are pro employee.

Whenever you go into a hospital all the nurses and doctors are wearing masks to prevent them getting air-borne infections. I trust THEIR JUDGEMENT over conspiracy theory nutcases.

Their health depends on wearing a mask.  But if you don't want to wear a mask that's your choice. But you might not get access to some places that you want/ need to go.

Many do not wear a mask,but considering that the hospital is where all the sick people go that would be the place where it might make a difference.

FFS, it's just a mask!!  Why on earth would wearing a mask ruin your life and your fragile mental health?  🙂

 

I have delicate lungs.  I have the best quality face-mask with removal/washable filter.  I often wear my mask when outside to protect my lungs from air pollution.  It works!  I wear my mask always on planes to minimise the risk of inhaling something nasty from the air circulation system, (yes I know airlines claim that the recirculated air is about the cleanest on Mother Earth, but I call bollax on that claim...)

 

Wearing a mask has not ruined my life - it has made it immeasurably better.  I have also stopped talking with rabbits, so I guess my mental health has also improved...

 

Frankly, I don't give a flying fick what people think of me for wearing a mask (TBH, not one person has ever made a negative comment or given me a dirty look).

Something must have changed, as they recently published an article on the Masked Mental-Illness Mob. 

The article reported that according to a recent PEW poll, around four percent (4%) of Americans still regularly mask up. 

That's 14 million people.

And it features a couple of testimonies from that still-masking bunch, who are stuck in a perpetual state of fear, anxiety, and obsessive compulsion.

That's probably close to 25% or more of the population here in Thailand based on what I see when I'm out at Big C or Marko. And out of those, I still see individuals driving in cars with no one else in the car with a mask on.  And even now there are corporations who force their employees to wear masks - that's gotta suck. "Don the face diaper of compliance or find a different job."  It's irrational and it's nothing except projecting power.  I doubt the the executives of these companies wear masks that they require their employees to wear all day.

At our local Amphur hospital, the masking rate of patients and staff is probably close to 95%.  What I find interesting is that one of the guys who works there and is the liaison between the nurses and the doctors and who takes patients to their seats at the room they are assigned to, takes their paperwork, and literally is in physical contact with all patients - the guy never gets sick. And I know the head doctor at the hospital as he's a personal friend of our family.  If staff want to mask up, it's up to them.  I think he personally masks up to make the "terminally fearful" less frightened.  When my wife and I come for appointments he takes his mask off.
However, in our Amphur I'd estimate that 20% to 30% of the residents are perpetual maskers.  In our own village the percentage is lower - maybe 10 to 15%.  But I find it interesting as I consider these people to be psychologically damaged. Those on AN that are supporters of perpetual masking will say that the locals are wearing them because of the bad air or due to a spike in Covid (8000 people out of 70 million), which actually in many cases true (bad air), as when the air quality goes to sh*t more people wear masks, but lately it's been raining almost daily and the winds and rain have cleared the air, so the air quality hasn't been bad at all.  So those wearing masks - alone in cars, alone on motorcycles, alone walking down the street, alone at home - these people have been damaged psychologically. Imho, the damage done to these people was deliberate and criminal

Went to hospital last week to see my Urologist (3 monthly vists).

 

Very few nurses/admin ladies wearing masks... neither was my Urologist.

@Red Phoenix  The article is still mainstream and they are still pushing fear-porn.  "Gotta watch it - Covid kills people and it may kill you.  Masking may seem irrational, but hey - Covid may get 'cha if you're not vigilant."  They also insinuate that anything but shots are snake-oil and that Ivermectin is still "only for horses." Essentially they ignore the thousands of studies that have been conducted and the meta-data analysis of those studies that have been conducted for over 5 years now.  But the article does highlight that people are, in fact, psychologically damaged and irrationally fearful of what is essentially now a mild flu.  I've had it - it was a mild flu.  Unlike the "Ever-Maskers" I doubt I'll get Covid again.  There's nothing like a functional immune system which has been exposed naturally to a pathogen.

I get the article.  The same people who caused the problem in the first place now are faced with a workforce of "worker bees" who are no longer as productive as they use to be due to "fear of Covid."  Good - it serves them right.  Article like this are an attempt to nudge those psychologically damaged by the Covid fear-porn back to a semblance of normality.  My guess it will take a generation or so.  Congratulations mulitinational corporations and the WEF/WHO elites who wanted their masked, compliant worker-bees, but have found that the worker bees are now damaged to the point of not being productive and therefore hurts their profits.
At the end of the day it's about power and greed.

With Covid-19 doing the rounds again masks are a very good idea. Helps protect against the common cold and influenza infections.

They've been recommended by the illustrious Dr. Yoon as a defense against the current covid outbreak.

You probably mean the total fraud dr Yong Poovorawan.

The evil idiot that pushed for covid-vaccination of all Thai children 3 years and up. 

I hope for him that I never encounter him in a dark alley...

The good doctor does say that vaccines may not be necessary as most people have built up immunity through infection or previous vaccination and they are much more expensive than the influenza vaccine (which he recommends). Instead, they can put the masks back on the protect themselves.

You don't wear a mask all the time . 

If masks don't work , why to surgeons wear them while operating ?

I wear better masks than them.

 

5 years futher , and I haven't had covid .

Or maybe that 1 week I had the flu.

No covids shots either.

No sticks up my nose or pcr tests , but they don't prove anything.

 

Of course Fauci was against masking , covid had to spread,

so that he could roll out the shots.

 

 

 

Really 😂 you didn't know that surgeon can get a splash of blood in his face? 🙃 That's why people wear masks LOL not against viruses 555

 

And other surprise - if you weren't doing this, you would also be healthier. And no covid as well.. that's why we laugh at such ppl, not because we are sick and they aren't  🤣😂😆
