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

Damn right I'll get my booster. I am totally uninterested in being sick. At my age, Covid would probably be fatal. Anyone who refuses to help themself by getting vaccinated, has left the path of reason.

Considering the shots have probably wreaked what was left of your immune system you probably will die if you get get Covid.
At my age, having had Covid once for a whole 2 1/2 days, I'm pretty sure my immune system would simple kick into gear and do its job. But keep getting those shots at least twice a year or as often as "The Science^TM" says to get them:  Safe And Effective^TM.

You hope but there are a lot of risks and side effects. Chloroquines really do have psychological implications.

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.

You will be more successful keeping up with your vaccinations.

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.

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.

All I see, is Redfield welcome more studies about vaccine safety, and he always recommends vaccines and talk about vaccine safety

 

He seems to trust the science, and therefor speaks for more science to be done before making any further conclusions 

exactly!!!  more studies need to be done.

That's the issue, very limited testing was done to rush this to market.

The government(s) told the pharmaceutical companies that they cant be sued.

If a company cant be sued and it's cheaper to do this or that or cut corners, guess what they will do, weather it's good or not. 

 

Did I get the vaccine (if that's what you want to call it), yes!, both shots and I still got covid. 

A real vaccine would've prevented me from getting covid, like mumps, measles etc. This was not a real vaccine.

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.

Sorry to hear that. I could list dozens of people I know, or know of, who have had severe health problems or died over the past three years. Most haven't made the link (at least publicly) with the jab, but quite a few have nonetheless… and they are alone in their misery. It's a sad state of affairs.

 

Regarding your wife, I would advise checking the "conspiracy theorist" and "discredited" doctors, they have protocols for the various ailments caused by Spike protein inflammation. Peter McCullough is one of them. It isn't guaranteed to work, but some people have reported considerable improvements.

If they recomend me to take the shots, I will, but as far I know, Im not in the risk zone, and have the first two shots only. 

 

Never taken the flu vaccine, but if for some reason needed, I will.

 

I have taken all the vaccines as the child, and also recomended travel vaccines programs for the countries I visited. 

 

My father have always taken all vaccines he is advised to take, and now annually takes the flu shots for two decades, and also since covid taken the covid and boosters.

 

Still healthy man close to his 90'ies now, still driving car and still travel Europe. 

 

I feel sorry for you who are dedicated to false and misleading information that can in much higher grade kill people than save them. There is no question vaccines saves people, and mistrust is a disaster for the world population in general. For your sake, Im not that worried, just the harm you and everyone with you

wow still some out there believe the blatent lies that the covid jab is a vaccine... its a gene therapy that is proven to kill some with heart problems... plus it doesnt do what it is supposed to....ie stop you catching it or stop you spreading it... no proof that it even lessens the symptoms.... the science is debunked.
