Rants, Stupid Shit and Coronavirus in Thailand

[Mr Enternational]

For me, SE Asia is over. I pity all the vagabonds in Pattaya but they are in my prayers, as they are in the day dreams of spammers. I see the curtains coming down all over the world and I can't see them being lifted again in my life time.

Instead of being so bleak, you should look to new horizons. There are great times being had in South America and the Caribbean. I am still paying rent in Pattaya, but I am in no hurry to get back there. There are other shows in town to be enjoyed.

Long but very interesting about immunity.

Thanks for the post. If you wonder who pays for it, you will see an owner of Johnson & Johnson, maker of the vaccines (sic), mentioned at the bottom of the article. Please check out the video below for a different and perhaps more informed approach. As for me, I cashed in all my US $ and other Forex (though I still have plenty in various bank accounts). For me, SE Asia is over. I pity all the vagabonds in Pattaya but they are in my prayers, as they are in the day dreams of spammers. I see the curtains coming down all over the world and I can't see them being lifted again in my life time. The world has gone mad to prop up Big Pharma's stock price.

Pretty soon you are going to have to be vaccinated to enter Thailand so all this discussion about Ivermectin is moot.

Pretty sure you will need to be fully vaccinated to enter most countries in 2022.

Ivermectin is great to treat parasitic worms, good to hear that it's helped you. There's no evidence whatsoever that it does anything for Covid.

Wrong! There is a lot evident. The evident is not gold standard and not definitive. Never the less, there is a ton of evident that it do work for covid. There is also a few evident that it does not work for covid, those study is also not definitive.

Some of the current study on ivermectin, like the one from Duke are designed to fail and when it does fail, it will not change anything. We need a study that is design to fairly test if it work or not.

Let's see if some members who always try to pump their stocks of Pfizer and Mode-rna on this site are going to call him paranoid or say that he cannot properly read a medical study, or that science is on the side of universal covid vaccine.

Here is a well known scientist explaining everything about covid19, vaccines and pharmaceutical's interests.

I thought it's a very informative interview for anyone wanting to understand what's going on.

But what is the harm? Ivermectin is exceptionally safe, like taking a baby aspirin.

It is a meta-data analysis which means that while suggestive, it is not something anyone rational person would pin their health decision. And if you see a millions flaws for it, why offer it up as evidence as your thinking that Ivermectin is a treatment for COVID. Just stick to the medical consensus.

But what is the harm? Ivermectin is exceptionally safe, like taking a baby aspirin. I take two pills once, 24 MG and feel fine.

Not long ago, I unknowingly spent half a day with a covid positive person. I found out because of contract tracing. I tested negative and I sat closest to that person. Other vax people in the same meeting was tested positive. I take 5000 IU of vitamin D everyday and 3 MG of ivermectin every 3 days.

A few weeks ago, our TV cameras had shocking videos from India of poor folk dropping dead. Real Biblical plague stuff, just like the earlier snuff stuff from China, which seems to have been faked. Now no more. Some say it is due to Ivermectin which Big Pharma / Gates seem to hate https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries.

I was told separately that was the case. Anyway, Indian snuff rates seem to be well below Thailand and the Brothel State of Ukraine. https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries.

Have a look at Israel's figures. Were they just given a placebo?

I have concluded nothing, except that a lot of government advisors have got very rich out of this. I post stuff here to see what others think on the long shot light might emerge. We live in hope.

Here is an article (peer reviewed for the comatose NYT readers) on Ivermectin. I can see a million flaws with the article but hey I read the Daily Mail and bang hookers.

Being from the hood, there was no TB, it wasn't until someone in the group got a car that we were able to travel outside 20 minutes out then it was 19 cents for one Taco next door McDonalds 25 cents for a burger only take out, those were the days?

With the price of space, TB is paying I can see why the price but aside from the pre-pack sauce I could never figure out why a Taco is so high, labor is cheap? I've had many tacos in form styles, places and they all range in 2 buck range. Sadly the most convenient and best priced Mexican meal Tequila Reef the new location is gone for good.

Yep, I was a big Tequila Reef fan.

If I am craving Mexican food, I go to the Azul restaurant in the Zona Norte, Tijuana, but it's very far from Pattaya. So, I bought some alleged Mexican salsa at the supermarket and maybe I can make some tacos.

Shit like the same damn price these days! You don't come away from there without having spent $10. When I was at the university I would eat lunch there everyday. 2 tacos for 49 cent each and I would bring my own cup to steal from the self-serve drink fountain.

I figure for one taco 3 bucks for a supreme taco what is it back home?

The Powers That Be want to open at least some parts of Thailand around October 15.

I agree if not by the 15th, I have done a lot of cruising around the last week many looks at only the night life but man this last lockdown has really put many out of business for good. I've been all over town north, south, east, west for the first time even the east side Darkside the local markets stalls people gone many of them who I been buying for years GONE! Signs up everywhere particularly in tourist spots rent or for sale. Rumor with vaccine distribution slow as you noted the powers to be are getting antsy restaurants are saying if we open we don't plan to close again until period! This weekend, my cruise although restrictions reduce the roads are empty Saturday I had to go to BKK to get my second Pfizer shot roads coming and going were empty I thought it was a holiday or something?

I order some take-out prior went to Taco Bell for lunch not bad pricey had more in the Tacos than what they give back home but there must be a beef shortage or they don't trust Thai beef, everything standard comes with chicken for beef add 60 baht. I figure for one taco 3 bucks for a supreme taco what is it back home? A few years back I got one opened it and said " where is the beef " it was just a shell!
