I’m in Europe right now, doing the usual tourist stuff amid big summer crowds. No face masks anywhere whatsoever, no Covid hysteria. You have to wonder why It’s just Thailand that’s so vulnerable to this disease.

Because there is no vaccine easy available same as in Europe.

The other way around, sunbeam, I haven't had covid yet...............

I listened to advice.........😉

How do you know unless your getting your blood tested for antibodies. This virus can have no symptoms (asymptomatic) or very, very mild symptoms that basically people ignore. A sneeze here or there, a slight sore throat, a bit of a cough etc. could all be a Covid-19 infection.

How do you know you haven't had Covid ?  subjecting yourself to daily brain tickling nasal swabs or blood tests ?

 

Are you still wearing a mask in your V8  and while having sex ?

My body tells me I haven't, though my body was well prepared to deal with it if I had, I followed advice...

 

I haven't worn a mask for a very long time, I haven't had a V8 for a very long time, I have never worn a mask for anything else except duty jobs...........😉

If I do not, or have not felt unwell, why would I get a test for anything..............😂

You do know what asymptomatic means surely. As I say no one can be 100% certain they have not been exposed other than having a blood test for antigens.

Isn't Dengue what Thailand should be worrying about?

So you don't know if you had Covid or not  and you have not followed

ALL the advice  ..can I ass-u-me  that the advice you followed

was to be jabbed with safe and effectives  multiple times ?

Health officials are keenly focusing on prevention measures, urging citizens to maintain social distancing, adhere to hygiene protocols, and get vaccinated.

 

 

How???

 

The Thai government isn't offering and publicizing COVID vaccines to their own people, even those with the greatest health risks, the senior citizens and those with health conditions.

 

This news report is the first time I've even seen the current government mention the need for COVID vaccinations in a very long time!!!

 

Not too long back, there was a COVID news article post here where the MOPH listed the various preventive measures against COVID and included in that, inexplicably, a flu vaccine, and no mention of getting COVID vaccines whatsoever.

 

Quote

There is also a push to intensify vaccination efforts across provinces, particularly in densely populated urban areas.

 

 

Sure like to see some evidence of that.  Thus far, I've seen none.

Fascinating how I'm not hearing anybody speak about it nor am I hearing about anybody catching it. Other than in the news. I won't be wearing a mask anytime soon and I will not be getting any more covid vaccines. Something like the Bubonic plague would have to come along for me to get another vaccine, and the only reason I got the first two was so that I was able to travel. I depend upon my immune system which remains quite strong due to plenty of exercise a good diet some very beneficial herbal supplements and my daily sense of fulfillment. 

 

The variants will likely continue and by all accounts it appears to me to be getting weaker and weaker, and more and more feeble. Only those at very high risk seem to be harmed by it, so from my point of view it's a big nothing burger. 

We are lucky, compared to before, the current strain is harmless. Viruses can mutate faster than any other "biological system". We can only hope, that future mutations of this particular virus remain relatively harmless. 

 

The only thing that mutates faster is the opinion of a Thai lady under financial stress.

Yup.  Social distancing, masks, hand sanitiser, lock down everything, for the rest of time.  It's the only way.  🤦‍♂️

I remember very well when we were told by "Experts" like Fauci that the unvaccinated caused Covid mutations raising the risks of Covid becoming deadlier.  Anyone with a background in biology knew that was a boldface lie, yet they ran with it.  It was actually 180 degree from the truth with the reality being that vaccines caused vaccine-induced antigenic drift and immune escape.  It's well know in immunology that viruses do mutate, become more infectious and LESS deadly over time.  But they went for broke and attempted to scare the public into taking shots based on the lie that "the unvaxxed caused deadly mutations."  

Then you wonder why inquisitive people no longer trust anything coming out of the mouths of government "experts."
Why?  "Experts" = "Liars" = "Charlatans" 

Nothing damaged the reputation of science like guys like Tony "I am the Science" Fauci.

 

 

All of the above entirely unsourced nonsense, as in the custom with your COVID posting.

 

The more people who catch COVID,  the greater the risk for mutations of the virus.  Those mutations COULD lead to the health impacts becoming  lesser over time. But they also COULD lead to the virus becoming more easily spread, infecting more, and potentially mutating to worse health impacts.

 

Every time someone comes down with a new COVID infection, you're rolling the dice of risks, not only to the infected person, but also to society at large.

 

See the cited study I posted just below:

You just be glad you will not die of Small Pox and a number of other virus related causes of death. Why will you not die of such deseases?

 

BECAUSE THERE ARE VACCINES.

I am not anti vac, neither is kennendy, the lying pharma paid media told you that and youre gullible to believe it.

Covid affected old and those in ill health, for the vast majority it was a cold at worst case.

I still don't know one person that died.

COVID-19 mutations: An overview

2024 Sep 20

 

"All viruses, including SARS-CoV-2, have the inherent tendency to evolve. SARS-CoV-2 is still evolving in humans. ... These mutations may lead to enhanced infectivity, transmissibility, and decreased neutralization efficacy by monoclonal antibodies, convalescent sera, or vaccines. Mutations may also lead to a failure of detection by molecular diagnostic tests, leading to a delayed diagnosis, increased community spread, and delayed treatment."

...

"The best way to prevent the development of new variants is to vaccinate as many people as possible, closely adhere to infection prevention and control measures, and eliminate vaccine inequalities that limit future human transmission and acquisition." (emphasis added)

Yes there are vaccines. Quite correct. Then there's mRNA gene therapy.

Ya, no one's gonna believe any of that coming from you.

 

"Robert Francis Kennedy Jr. (born January 17, 1954), also known by his initials RFK Jr., is an American politician, environmental lawyer, author, conspiracy theorist, and anti-vaccine activist serving as the 26th United States secretary of health and human services since 2025.

..

Since 2005, Kennedy has promoted vaccine misinformation^[1] and public-health conspiracy theories,^[2] including the chemtrail conspiracy theory, HIV/AIDS denialism, and the scientifically disproved claim of a causal link between vaccines and autism. He has drawn criticism for fueling vaccine hesitancy amid a social climate that gave rise to the deadly measles outbreaks in Samoa and Tonga.

 

Kennedy is the founder and former chairman^[3] of Children's Health Defense, an anti-vaccine advocacy group and proponent of COVID-19 vaccine misinformation."

Proof by the President of the United States himself! 

Obviously I don't take medical advice from this Forum with one or two exceptions, (none of which are you), or from US Presidents, present or recent past!

Really? All my wifes family, cousins, aunties, uncles etc spread out in many provinces have Covid with one Auntie in buriram hospitalised and in critical condition.

sorry for your loss, but she didn 't die of covid, even the covid test is fake, more likely the vaccine killed her, or other related parties, don't believe what they tell you, the truth is blocked almost everywhere

 

Ahhhhhhh

 

Can you point out where he said she died ? .

151 people officially from COVID thus far this year in Thailand, and that's almost certainly an undercount, as it only tallies official COVID cases deemed to die of COVID in hospitals:

 

Quote

The fresh data also raised the nation's death toll to 151, driven by the addition of three more victims.

 

 

More than 12,000 COVID deaths in the U.S. through mid-May,  according to the CDC, and the vast majority of those are with COVID as the primary, not incidental cause. And yes, the great majority, though not all, of those are senior citizens.

 

 

 

https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#trends_weeklydeaths_select_00

 

PS - COVID is a seasonal disease. Right now,  it's the historically high season for COVID in Thailand, typically starting right around Song Kran.  Right now, it's low season for COVID in the U.S., with high season there typically coming around Dec.-Jan. each year. The trends in one country are not applicable in real time to the COVID trends in a different part of the world. They peak  on different seasonal calendars.

I dont think you could have missed the point any more than you did. Its not about quoting a long gone president.

Neither do I, but I know several that died from the adverse effects of the Covid-shots they took.

Yep. It's seasonal. It's endemic and here to stay. Fortunately for the majority it's non-severe.

 Except for all those who  are still dying  from COVID and experiencing debilitating Long COVID symptoms.... 

 

You keep repeating the same refrain... majority....and ignoring the confirmed and reported COVID hospitalizations and deaths.

 

Your "majority" still leaves a lot of COVID sick and dead people who are in the "minority."
