What does China have to do with this article.

This is good, but hopefully they scrutinize the “cases” and make sure they weren’t something like the guy who got vaccinated, shaved his head and then claimed hair loss.

Several cases I know of. Most of the symptoms - headache, muscle pain, itching, blurred vision - can't be tested or verified ...

Never heard anything anymore about the scheme that paid 100k baht if you caught Covid while holidaying in Thailand... Is that still going or has it quietly been stopped? If it's still on, then TAT don't put that big on their adverts, do they? 

[palooka]

The NHSO said that 1,296 people were compensated up to 400,000 baht after vaccines left them disabled or dead.

I know some Thais believe in ghosts etc, but how do the dead get compensated?  5555555

Why make light of other's suffering.  Many of these adverse effects are real whether you choose to admit it or not.  And as in most settlements the family will receive the funds.

It wasn't a TAT scheme, but was Chaing Mai only promoted by half a dozen groups and bars, never endorsed by the TAT or any government organisation. It lasted about 3 weeks in Dec / Jan following the outbreak in 1G1 in Myanmar before being withdrawn.
