Faulty PCR test. I would say that near everyone that gets tested tests positive especially if they are repeatedly tested.

The PCR test was not designed to test for viruses as it is designed to multiply fragments of DNA by millions and billions. If you multiply DNA then you can find all sorts in there, segments from when you recovered from a flu or cold or any virus of which there are many over the years including any vaccine you took. All of these amplified give false positives. The test is not approved and should not be used. Most of the ilnesses recorded as COVID can be put down to a bad flu or cold or some other respiratory ailment.

9 THAIS should be the headline

I wish that just ONE of these returnee articles would report on back-tracing the vector of the exposure/infection  ...that is unless it's a GIVEN that exposure can't be eliminated even if fulfilling all the pre-flight requirements AND only a post-flight quarantine can eliminate the chance of further exposures.

 

Sorry sheeple, we can't tell you the truth and risk world-wide panic and destructive behavior on your part ...this isn't the same as your team losing the superbowl and allowing you to do some minor looting, there are higher stakes in play here.  Whatever.

No they wouldn’t put that as they want the Thai People to believe it’s the dirty foreigners who bring Covid to Thailand.
