Food for Thought > A Common Sense vaccine statement and a BS one...
Her three siblings, whom it is reasonable to assume are also unvaccinated, also caught measles and recovered with no problem. This child caught pneumonia (which anybody can catch, regardless of any vaccination status) and died because of medical malpractice. She did not die of measles, unlike what the media have reported. Which brings us to a fundamental issue: why did the media claim this child had died of measles? Because they are pushing a specific viewpoint. If they were pushing for the opposite viewpoint, they would give lots of visibility, credibility and, ultimately, funding, to studies such as the one below, which gives credence to the notion that measles spreads among vaccinated people. In the "Background" section, the first sentence is de facto an opinion, the second sentence is factual. Outbreak of measles among persons with prior evidence of immunity, New York City, 2011 Background: Measles was eliminated in the United States through high vaccination coverage and a public health system able to rapidly respond to measles. Measles may occur among vaccinated individuals, but secondary transmission from such individuals has not been documented. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24585562/ -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
The limits for DUI in Thailand: 0.02% BAC (20 milligrams per deciliter) is the legal limit for individuals under 20 years old, those with provisional licenses, and drivers without a valid license. 0.05% BAC (50 milligrams per deciliter) applies to all other drivers (regular 5yr driving licenses). You blew: 0.027% BAC (27 milligrams per deciliter) - so you were under the DUI limit for a standard driver with a full driving license, but 7 milligrams / 0.007% over the limit for someone without a valid license (or someone who has a temporary 2 year license) While I am every vocal against those who DUI, your BAC indicates the equivalent of about 2 beers (less than). The treatment you received does seem very harsh - there was no valid reason for them not to let you go, I'm guessing they were 'digging' for a bribe to let you go home for the night. Speaking to your wife like that was also pretty obnoxious, good on her for standing by you. Get a driving licence !!! Question for others: Whats the DUI limit for those on foreign drivers licence (i.e. a UK license, and for sake of avoiding argument of whether its necessary - with an accompanying IDP) ? -

A Night in the Thai Police Station
You were not interrogated with electric shock, nor were you at a gulag and nor were you abused. You were stopped as a DUI and treated appropriately. You are now behaving as if you are some sort of entitled person. Take responsibility for your poor choices and learn from it. No one is going to feel particularly sorry for a DUI, considering the amount of hurt they needlessly cause. -

Instead of making assumptions, you should learn what the laws are first. The legal blood alcohol limit for licensed drivers is 0.05%, and applies to both Thais and and foreigners equally. As in other countries, a lower limit applies for new drivers - those holding a license for less than five years, the limit is 0.02% The 0.02% limit applies to drivers under the age of 20, provisional license holders, and those without a valid license. You did not have a valid drivers license , so your limit was 0.02%. And yes, the allow allows for a 6 month imprisonment for first offenders, although it is typically used when there is serious injury. Jail isn't supposed to be nice. It is supposed to be a deterrent. You were in Thailand, not in the UK or Eu where detention centers are comfy and a nice sojourn for the criminal class. You are not going to gain any sympathy for being DUI.- 1

Yes, of course. Maybe they should subject all the arrested individuals and their companions to interrogation with electric shock. Your views are on the level of a guard at a Stalin's gulag camp. I wonder how people like you slipped into the 21st century—it's a mystery!
