General Reports

The vaccine DOES NOT stop COVID. It just lowers your chances of getting COVID.

Yes, but because it lowers your chances of getting Covid, it also lowers the chance that you spread it around. When you become infected you will have milder symptoms, or none at all, and this means you will be less contagious to others. So in the end the vaccines can certainly stop Covid.

Got a dose of the clap last year. Went to BHP for analysis. Positive for gono. Was given a jab of some antibiotic (I don't remember which) + azithromycin oral. It worked. But it also must've meant 1 antibiotic on its own was not sufficient.

Symptoms were nearly unnoticeable after 3 days of treatment.

You are unlucky, many posters have unprotected sex and report that they have never got an STD. I am scared of contracting that antibiotic resistant gonorrhea so I'll always wear my dick mask.

Correct, due to more resistant strains of Gono, one drug won't cut it anymore.

Use to be just azithromycin alone many yrs ago was enough. Then resistance set in.

Then oral Cefixime was introduce and it was enough alone to do the job. That lasted about 3 yrs and now its not effective.

Today its an injection of Ceftriaxone and a 2nd oral antibiotic is needed.

Just to add, cases of Gono already documented that's resistant to ALL known antibiotics, meaning totally incurable. And these cases are rising worldwide.

He is following up with the hospital for next steps.

Anybody else care to admit getting it and how they finally got rid of it?

I did have Gonorrhea a while back, in Europe. I went to the doctor and got an antibiotic. I waited for a week. It did not work. Got back to the doctor and got another one. That worked. Doctor told me that I should have come back earlier as the antibiotic should give relief in days. So that might be a tip to anybody: just ask your doctor about how soon the medicine should work. The doctor informed me that even if the second antibiotic would not have worked too there are still some other options, I. E. Antibiotics. Some of these are only administered in the hospital. My only problem was that I had serious pain for one week more and it took about 2 months to feel normal again. By the way, I got it after a DT. Won't be doing that again.

This is something completely different then virus infections. Just google "virus versus bacteria infections" and choose a medical article in stead of a newspaper.

Conflicting claims going on. But some say it can still move around amongst the unjabbed, so it needs everybody jabbed to get herd immunity, and then there's the mutations which are about. Some say the vaccines won't work on mutants. We don't know for sure yet.

Never mind there's reports on TV of super gonorrhea in Pattaya to replace it.

Quote from TV.

A friend of mine has Super Gonorrhea (not me promise and is having a hell of a time trying to kill it, so far repeated doses of the recommended antibiotics aren't working.

This thread is just a reminder that it is out there, not reported much but definitely in Pattaya. He is following up with the hospital for next steps.

WTF? There are only a few STD's that have a vaccine and Gonorrhea is not one of them.

You are not vaccinated, you are not wearing a mask, some other idiot also not wearing a mask but has been vaccinated is close enough their airborne droplets are inhaled by you, the data shows with the current vaccines you can become infected. The degree of transmissibility is being studied but for now the simple take away is continue following health guidelines and wait for the vaccine. If I may I would suggest that if one wants to keep up to date with what's going on with vaccines and the virus UK tabloids are probably not where you need to go.

[HorseTrader]

No, not me, at least. Why would I make such a claim?

As the saying goes "absence of evidence is not evidence of absence".

But let's wait and see, data will surely be forthcoming.

Ditto from me.

I am hopeful.

[Pute Nut]

Maybe it's late and I'm tired but are you guys saying that vaccines DO stop COVID from spreading altogether?

[Banana Boi]

Maybe it's late and I'm tired but are you guys saying that vaccines DO stop COVID from spreading altogether? I have yet to read a single report that says this is the case.

An article yesterday.

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/oxfords-covid-19-vaccine-said-182000302.html

"In addition to being 70.4 percent effective at preventing serious COVID-19, a new paper shows that the AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine may also reduce transmission of the virus"

"This is the first study to analyze whether any of the COVID-19 vaccines currently in use can prevent infection and transmission of the disease. The data we have so far on the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines only show that they can prevent serious illness, not that they prevent contraction of the virus in the first place"

[Pute Nut]

I haven't seen anything conclusive on that yet.

Exactly. The experts seem cautiously optimistic on this though, but are careful not to make any unsubstantiated claims this early on.

Maybe the OP is privy to exclusive information. Or maybe not.

[HorseTrader]

....The vaccine DOES NOT stop COVID. It just lowers your chances of getting COVID.

I haven't seen anything conclusive on that yet. If you've seen such a report, I'd be interested in reading it. If the virus cannot replicate and transmit through vaccinated people, that is good enough. It will take more time before that is known.

I hope that Thailand will keep existing policies until there is solid scientific data that shows vaccinated people cannot transmit the virus.

[Pute Nut]

The vaccine DOES NOT stop COVID. It just lowers your chances of getting COVID. The UK variant of COVID seems to be a champion at mutating and all the current vaccines out there will likely be ineffective in the near future.

This is very interesting info, can you share your sources?

[Downandup]

There are a lot of news articles based on ideas from those not in control, resort owners, industry groups and even TAT and government officials. But it does not count for squat, the regulations are driven by the CCSA and only the cabinet has that power, with the prime ministers approval. Until you see an official announcement in the Royal Gazette then it's only a proposal at best.
