Could you convince BS to stop looking at research too, because 5.33 billion people have taken the vaccine with great success? 🙄

Looks like our views on what constitutes a 'great success' differ considerably... 🙃

Well ya never know how these things are gonna work out.

Wouldn't hurt to give it a go.

Mrs went to HK a couple of years ago with Chinese friend to visit a famous Dr about her bad back. His diagnosis- something internal was the problem! and a big list of herbs to buy and boil up for 6 hours, she never bothered.

So what was this Doctor "Famous" for ?  Curing peoples ailments or telling them how to cook herbs ? 😂

Well you cant do anything for impatient people, even with TCM, which has a treatment for most things.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Mate of mine son had really bad asthma when he was young, very weak and small for his age. he went to a HK Chinese medicine specialist. 

 

It wasn't cheap. 

 

Gave him a concoction to boil up in a tea and drink a few times a day for three weeks. 

 

Kid was off the inhaler in a week, completely over any respiratory issues a few weeks later. 

 

That was thirteen years ago. That kid is now a big strong young man with serious rugby skills. 

 

There is no doubt that a skilled Chinese medical herbalist is a fantastic option for many people.

If by success you mean deaths, blood clots, heart issues and palsy all the while failing  to do what a true vaccine does, which is to provide immunity, then I suppose it is a success of sorts.

Or perhaps success means Pfizer share price..?

Pfizer is already busy developing a REAL preventive/curative remedy for covid-19.   Note that the marketing and bribing budget would be 20-fold of the research/development/manufacturing cost.

20 fold would be the cost of the brown envelopes for those that are unvaccinated and require a visa or extension

Please take this in the spirit that it is meant i.e. idle curiosity, but why are you obsessed with 'brown envelopes?'

Have a wonderful Friday.

Better i be obsessed with something that is solid and real unlike a obsession of Covid related stories that may or may not be validated or just someone’s imagination.

to only is TCM completely ineffective, it is a massive threat to wildlife and conservation.

It is appalling to see this sort of thing operating under the wing of hospitals in Thailand that allegedly practice scientific medicine - it is a stunning indictment of the ethics of Thai healthcare.

you clearly have no idea how the efficacy of medication is validated.

      News Forum - Thai police arrest six Chinese nationals in call centre fraud bust

      Chinese?? Well I am astounded - it is so unlike the Chinses to be criminals. That reminds me - recently I was looking at all the uber wealthy rich families in Thailand - you know the ones that own just about everything between them - about 9 or so of them. I noticed that most of them have their 'ancestral homes' in China and their ancestors came to Thailand in early 20th century and the another wave after Mao took over. Someone once told me that the 'good' Chinese went to Taiwan, and the 'not so good' went to Thailand. Not sure if that is true at all. Asking for a friend.

      DTV & ..question..

      I wont argue at all - because mine was that way when in Chiang Mai and Rayong. However, that was not the case here in KK. In fact, because of all the additional and different rules they have here for annual renewals for Marriage, next year I am going to switch to Retirement - unless things change. Your current situation is great, but as I found out, there is no guarantee it will be that way in the future (they always change some rules here) - and it may not be that way if you ever change Provinces. Chiang Mai to Rayong was a change, but no problems - KK was insulting and difficult and unacceptable. One size does not fill all, as I found out the hard way in KK. 3 visits to Office, 2 visits to Bank, 3 Officers visited House, 2 Witnesses required in the house who both had to sign witness statements, Insufferable long 10 minute speech by General littledick (in Thai to the Wife and Witnesses), and a overwhelming desire to stand up and tell the little vagina that 'I bought this effin house and I spend over 1 million baht a year in this country - so eff off and get the eff out of my Wife's house you little ................ But because I cannot speak Thai and am older and have a lot more self control than when younger, I remained quiet and still and said nothing. And then I had to smile while they took a few photos - aarrgh!
