» Re: "BJT win bodes well for conservatives", (BP, Feb 11). Given the tallies of the nationwide party list vote, I don't understand the justification for the following assertions: "BJT's landslide victory reflects a surge of nationalist sentiment" (5.9M votes); the PP suffered from "lingering voter scepticism" and "eroded public confidence" (9.8M votes).

There are copious testimonies and a recent definitive paper presented to the US Congress committee investigating vaccine safety.

» Re: "Road collapse shocker", (BP, Sept 25). Indeed, a picture is worth a thousand words -- if there is one! But why, oh why, are Bangkok Post reporters incapable of including a map with their articles, whether they are about new roads, floods, border problems, or whatever?
