Since the start of the Covid-19 epidemic, 31,031 people have died in Thailand from the virus, but a research team suggest that it could have been much worse without vaccines. The team from Mahidol University suggested that, without a vaccination programme in place, Thailand would likely have seen another 490,000 deaths. The MRC Centre for Global Infectious Disease Analysis compile data from 185 countries and the research team used those mathematical modelling figures in their calculations. The analysis studied from when the first vaccinations were given last year until July 3 of this year. Their analysis, led by the Faculty of […]

What can one say? Was this a science based conclusion? Surely one that makes Big Pharma happy. 

Does the immune system have any part in any of this? Diet? Lifestyle? Obesity? Comorbitity, or the general health of the individual?

Complete bullshit. Covid killed real science, logic and intelligence. Follow the science, follow the money (and the vaccine deaths) and you'll find big pharma in bed with governments.

All these studies, does it change anything? No.. useless in my opinion, I wish they study something before they have great ideas like 1 rai land, paypal limitations etc.   But unfortunately not

This article - in content as well as title - is particularly about a study, so the very least that should be offered is a link to that study; everything else is just noise. Yet all we get is 100% noise, 0% study, and just a regurgitation of a source that is no better.

I'm not unusually skeptical about the conclusions mentioned (it's similar to other studies world-wide, and some of those are even original, i.e. based on raw data without borrowing inferences from other studies), but I completely fail to see the point of this article (without considering that my failure).

PS: I do realize that Thaiger is an ordinary company that needs views to stay alive or even prosper. Yet is it really that hard to report something insightful (and therefore truly newsworthy) every now and then? Even a hit-rate of once per month would make me happy & shut up complaining.

I agree. Even without the analysis posted, it seems obvious this is not a “study” but rather a model estimating deaths avoided. Study implies some collection of data with statistical control to disprove a hypothesis. 

On the other hand, the analysis suggests that thousands of lives could have been saved in July-September 2021 if the vaccine procurement hadn’t been so shambolic. Who is responsible for those deaths?

If saving half a million lives is not enough for a little more funding the number can be boosted in increments of 500,000 lives.

With respect Thaiger, 31,000 people have died with covid NOT of covid. There is a big difference and you seem to regularly publish this statistical error.

Quote right. Nothing gets published about the number who’ve died FROM covid and numbers who’ve died from the vaccine. Only those who’ve died while having covid is published but I’m reality without health problems they'd be alive today.

You are 100%correct, Goose1, and this is a habit picked up and run with by media the world over. Evidence of an accident victim in New York City with crushed ribs and the ultimate death put down as covid. There seems to be a media hatred of using the WITH word when it comes to alleged woohoo phloo deaths. And I lean heavily on the ALLEGED...

I would have thought all the criteria must be taken into consideration regarding lives not los over C19, but the fact is, vaccines have saved many thousands of souls.....😊

In other words, we are all individual, unique, well I'm unique..........🤣

No - those many have received the (alleged) vaccine and have not succumbed, just the same as some of those deaths numbered as covid are pure and simply aged demise, aneurism, heart attack and maybe even just heat stroke, 'vaccinated' or unvaccinated.

Makes no sense.  This shows how fake news, social media, and their audiences are changing the world for the poorly educated and gullible people IMO

Why would Big Pharma want people to die from vaccines?  The people are their customers . 

Real science?  WTF is that?  Something is either scientific or it is based on hearsay or unscientific. 

Science is a discipline, through observation, testing, measurements, data collection, etc,... you come up with empirical evidence. Vaccines saving lives is that evidence.

      Time to dissolve the Catholic Church

      You have posted a good post, Mr Dog, but respectfully with two glaring flaws; action and timing. I doubt that anyone would dispute that the Catholic Church has done some good things and that it must reform; that is a given. However, I would argue that the Catholic Church has already been given a great deal of time and leeway to deal with the issue of pedophilia/child molestation within its ranks but has not done so satisfactorily. One example among many; in my native country of Canada there was a truly horrific scandal of abuse at a place called the Mount Cashel Orphanage (see links below). The story broke in 1989, there was a Royal Commission set up to investigate, there was an Archdiocesan Commission of Enquiry, and the issue was in the newspapers for years. In that particular case, the Orphanage in question was razed to the ground and some compensation was given (good thing). However, the Order that ran the Orphanage declared bankruptcy in 2011 leaving 422 outstanding claims by abused people. Moreover, many of the Catholic pedophiles from Mount Cashel were transferred to another part of the country where they continued their abuse (Wikipedia and CBC link below) up to at least 2022. To sum up, this ONE case in Canada demonstrates that the Catholic Church has known of horrific abuses since the 70s, but has not dealt with the problem. And, while this is ONE example from Canada, a wee bit of research will tell similar tales in many countries around the globe. So, my questions are these... How much more time are you willing to give the Catholic Church to reform itself? How many child molestations are you willing to countenance while waiting for the Catholic Church to reform? Yes, dissolving the Catholic Church IS an extreme act, but what more evidence would you need to agree that it is time for extreme measures? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Cashel_Orphanage https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/politics/wells-government-mt-cashel.php

      Time to dissolve the Catholic Church

      I have been an atheist since before I even knew the word, let alone what it meant. so have no axe to grind with any particular cult or creed. But in the case of the Catholic Church it seems like a significant amount of the problem with addressing the issues comes from denial that they exist from both the congregation and the priesthood.

      News Forum - Chadchart exposes Bangkok curruption: Civil engineer demands 300,000 baht bribe

      "The governor stands firm to take appropriate action by dismissing the corrupt officer." AND where is the stance on prosecuting him to the full extent of the law? Most likely he will be transferred and that will be the end of it... I hope that I can say that without being accused of slurring.

      "Begpackers" are back

      Local Buskers, especially playing music forms specific to their country, add immense value to the cultural side of a city. Foreigners trying to cash in on it just for senseless personal gain do not.
