Will you be getting boosted now that Covid is back in the headlines in Thailand?

I haven't gotten a covid shot yet.  I don't have useless ... IMHO ... experimental chemicals injected into my body for any reason, especially when suggested by people and or companies I don't trust or respect.

Especially when those people and companies attempt to get the government to force you to take them at the end of a gun.
Nothing says "SAFE AND EFFECTIVE" like police state cohesion forcing you to be a human guinea pig for Big Pharma.

Do need to get a tetanus shot, or not.  As the only thing I've had in the last 20+ years.  And only 2X maybe, I think.  

 

Never stayed current in the USA with tetanus.  Not so current here either.  Haven't had any other vaccinations, since a new born.  Half of them, not needed, or didn't work, since having chicken pox, measles & mumps.  Haven't got a clue what was given back in 1954.

 

Knowing my parents, I was given the minimal required, if any were.

We're lucky because we have a cohort of them here to observe in real time. Currently almost 27% of the 129 voters.

Probably would have been more than 27% if the missing AN members were here to vote. 😅

Not sure this forum is the place to decide such things.

 

The science is one issue suggestive one might get a booster but the advice I seek is from a proper doctor and preferably one that knows my medical history.

 

These people use Substack as their doctors.

Is there a COVID booster for current variants?

Is it being recommended by public health agency in Thailand?

In Thailand, The Science appears to be backpedalling as the truth is too hard to conceal anymore. Shoutout to Dr. Yong, Mister "safe and effective":

 

Covid-19 surge: Chulalongkorn virologist advises vaccination strategy

By contrast, current Covid-19 vaccines are expensive—nearly 10 times the cost of flu shots—less effective against new variants, and more likely to cause side effects. Thus, he does not personally recommend widespread Covid-19 vaccination at this stage, particularly considering the reduced severity of the disease and the cost-benefit balance.

More of a sidestep than a backpedal.

 

Possibly, but I can't find recent articles advocating the vaccine. Even the Bangkok Post says they are useless:

 

Newer strains do not respond to regular vaccination due to the vaccine's capability to protect only against older strains of Covid-19. The report has led to a reduction in the procurement of Covid-19 vaccines for hospitals.

France, on the other hand, is still all in as if this was 2021.

Sounds more like they were comparing and contrasting the Covid splooge to a flu shot.  Perhaps, if/when the new and improved version is available the “spice will flow” as it must.

More or less all substances with medicinal properties have side effects if taken either in excessive doses or on a permanent basis.  E.g. aspirin, paracetamol, etc.

 

In the malaria-infested jungles of New Guinea one was given chloroquin ("Nivaquin") to be taken once a week, indefinitely.  One knew there were side-effects; although not in those days, as is now known, that it can cause blindness.

 

After a while I desisted from taking it regularly and instead took an overdose when infrequently laid low with a bout of malaria.  Treating Covid19 with it should be an occasional thing.

 

In fact when infected with Covid I knocked it on the head in three days with very dilute chlorine dioxide solution.  Maybe the vile taste drove it out of me. 🙂

 

As to ivermectin, the dose prescribed by the officialdom-denigrated FLCCC, is 1.5 mg per fortnight.  Tricky to take when one is supplied with 6 mg tablets.  Covid requires very much less than what has been used to save huge numbers of people from river blindness.

 

Table salt can kill if taken in excess.  And there are plenty of similar examples.

No to  2nd question if you mean widespread vaccination. People with specific risk factors for severe disease may be advised to vaccinate 

 

For the first, there exists an updated 2024-2025 COVID vaccine which targets newer variants  but I have impression not available in Thailand. 

 

A numbet of posts with inaccurate info/promoting conspiracy theories have been removed. The COVID vaccines safety profile remains good.  Mord than 13 billion doses have been given worldwide.

I know a couple of people who developed severe arthritis right after their jabs. One immediately understood the causation and says she made a terrible mistake, the other one is a doctor and has mental barriers preventing her from looking at the evidence – she is boosting herself to oblivion, last I heard she was on her 5th shot.

I need to check into the Arthritis thing, my wife was diagnosed with Arthritis a year after her vaccine. 

 

One of my brothers employees has issues with memory.

She is sure it's from the vaccine as she has never had any health issues.

She is only 53 yrs old in good physical shape, gym 3 times a week, golf, tennis etc.

 

She's been a healthcare insurance agent for 17 years and now she cant remember anything. She failed all her tests to renew her state insurance license and failed her annual Medicare certification. She's lucky as she is financially stable but she is really messed up, it's like she not even the same person.

You don't need to "stay current" with tetanus jabs. They're good for 10 years and only needed with injuries that might require an update jab.

Why.

More outright misinformation has been removed.

 

As this thread had been taken over by anti-vaxxers with an agenda, it is closed.

 

mRNA vaccines at not "gene therapy". They do not affect the cell's nucleus. They do not alter DNA. 

 

Individual anecdotal experiences do not prove anyyhing...especially now that the public had been conditioned to believe that anything at all that occurs subsequent to COVID vaccination,   even years later, must have been caused by it. I know a case where a woman spotted a few grey hairs in her late 40's and  is convinced COVID vacvcne 3 years ago must have caused it.

 

The only way to identify causal linkages between a vaccine and subsequent events is a large scale study   comparing the incidence of those events between vaccinated and unvaccinated populations.  

 

Which had bern done, extensively.
