A tiny fraction of a percent which you have been warned about by regulatory authorities and the media, your statement is also untrue.

Warned about? But forced to take the vaccine, or ridiculed, so that’s ok you were warned. We don’t know the real figures as there is bound to be under reporting of milder cases - unlike long covid which is likely over reported- come on, depression is counted as long covid.

Seems the U.K. has added France to “Amber Plus” requiring 10 day at home quarantine or 5 day test and release (at your own expense), even if you’re double vaccinated.

Do you ever feel embarrassed repeating the lockdown doesn’t work tripe every day?

I think your man here is pished!!!

What a tool, replying to a message from months ago!

ISAG are out of the traps first chance they get. Tomás Ryan falsely claimed Covid causes Autism in pregnancy on an ISAG video recently with no evidence whatsoever. He also claimed hundreds of children would die in Ireland last summer on Prime Time which was swiftly debunked by Sunitra Gupta plus a little thing called facts, figures and data. He suggested we treat every Covid case like a ‘murder’ in January 2021, and still continues to this day to claim we should go ‘Zero Covid’ while we’ve an open border to NI & Common Travel Area to U.K.

On analysis of what this ‘Zero Covid’ utopia would look like to ISAG - it seems they would like a Chinese style of Governance without Democratic institutions.

Why is it a huge duty of care breach?

There are many occupations where staff have to deal with the public but don't get fast tracked for vaccination....

Some even have to spend time extremely close.... Barbers trimming beards etc....

Shouldn't they be first before dining staff?

So where is the risk? Dining staff have been working along side unvaccinated staff for months, all wearing a mask.

But now that vaccinated people are on the premises and inside.....so you feel it's the vaccinated people posing a risk to the staff?

I’d argue all of that was too. Someone’s haircut was more important than protecting the staff.

It shows a very biased towards middle aged people type of thinking by government.

The reality is that a lot of people in front line jobs, with high levels of covid risk, are younger and they were just abandoned to be last in line for vaccines. It’s the same “I’m alright, Jack!” attitude you see in housing too. The twenty-somethings are seen as collateral damage.

Hospitality seems worse, as it’s potentially crowded and most people don’t go for a haircut after a few beers…

I honestly think the way we approached not vaccinating front line staff, including dentists and dental nurses in the early roll out was abysmal.

There should have been an occupational risk cohort done as priority. I would have gladly waited a few weeks for my shot as I am at low risk and can avoid exposure risk quite easily.

It’s all a bit late now, they’ll be vaccinated in due course, but I can see this playing out into political consequences for government parties if Delta proves to be a problem.

Paul Murphy was never and never will be a lone voice of sense

I'm down in Kerry this evening and the talk in a number of pubs which I sampled produce in was that some of the hotel's out Muckross direction have been hammered by Covid this week and are possibly short staff for the weekend.

Basically comes down to a sort of a class system at play. People want their drinks and their pub atmosphere, and they don’t care about the 18 year old glass collector or the bar person who has to serve them or the person who has to clean up their puke either.

They just want beer to magically appear in a glass. They have their vaccine and that’s all that matters.
