    Interesting? It's very predictable. The Guardian is the woke/radical/antifa/communist left, anything a tory PM does is automatically bad, it was actually hilarious watching them defend Corbyn, the Telegraph (aka the Torygraph) is the opposite.

    The parallels in the US might be Fox V's CNN. Fox were equally as hilarious trying to support Trump and CNN were known for a while as the Clinton News Network.

    So the conspiracy theorists were right from the very beginning

    Yes, I am aware that they are opposite sides of the political spectrum: it's why I read them! That's why it's interesting to read their entirely different takes on the same event.

    The Guardian is absolutely leftist - and its political oriententation is as clear as day - but I honestly think you need a break from the Internet mate if you think it's Communist.

    No they're not saying they will. They said they might IF testing capacity and contact tracing is overwhelmed. That's a big IF.

    Antigen testing for close contacts would not make a difference when people with no symptoms and performing the test on themselves is likely to yield a lot of false negative results.

    At least said person will also be isolating as they were in contact with a confirmed case, so, even if they antigen tests were useless, it keeps that person away from the public (I assume) rather than assuming a negative result means they can leave the house etc...

    Since I've missed the last couple weeks, here's the weekly positivity rate in Ireland as reported by the ECDC (https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/publications-data/covid-19-testing).

    This is up to the 11th of June, it will be interesting to see the the next update.

    Very Important post. America's Frontline Doctors (plaintiffs) need to receive full recognition for all their fine work I think.

    Especially my all time favourite medical professional, Dr. Stella Immanuel. Her clinic sounds fun..... I'm lucky to get a prescription from my doctor, never mind demon sex.......


    "A January 2020 medical malpractice lawsuit filed against Immanuel alleged that a 37-year-old woman died after Immanuel failed to remove a needle fragment from her arm. According to the lawsuit, the woman told Immanuel that the broken needle had lodged in her arm while injecting methamphetamine. Immanuel prescribed medication but did not take X-rays or attempt to retrieve the needle. It was removed later, by a different physician, after a flesh-eating infection had developed.In April 2020, local deputies were unable to serve notice of the Louisiana suit because Immanuel had moved to Houston where she set up a new practice in a strip mall. "

    " She is also a pastor and the founder of Fire Power Ministries in Houston, a platform she has used to promote other conspiracies about the medical profession.

    Her sermons are available on a YouTube account set up in 2009.

    Five years ago, she alleged that alien DNA was being used in medical treatments, and that scientists were cooking up a vaccine to prevent people from being religious.

    Some of her other claims include blaming medical conditions on witches and demons - a common enough belief among some evangelical Christians - though she says they have sex with people in a dream world.

    "They turn into a woman and then they sleep with the man and collect his sperm… then they turn into the man and they sleep with a woman and deposit the sperm and reproduce more of themselves," she said during a sermon in 2013.

    Another issue that Dr Immanuel targets is gay marriage, saying it can result in adults marrying children"

    Griselda btw..I agree with the above post of yours a strange woman with very weird views and a terrible incident/to say the least not a nice way to die. However,I am hoping for people here to read the data in the legal papers from the whole group and either refute it totally,partial or not. The wheat versus the chaft continuely needs to be separated from all sides of this isssue. Risk and benefit needs to be discussed for informed vaccination and I know there are enough posters here that can do the analysis of the above presented data.

    • 2,791,631 people have received their first dose

    The counties with the highest 14-day incidence rates are Donegal (725/100,000 population), Louth (474/100,000 population), Dublin (307/100,000 population), Limerick (258/100,000) and Galway (257/100,000)

    The 20% in hospital being vaccinated is a little disappointing. Maybe I expected too much. But think of any of us, after 2 shots, ending up in covid with hospital would upset you.

    Is there any more info on the 20%, age group, more vulnerable or is it just random?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,959 ✭✭✭Worztron


    Has anyone here missed one or more days from work after their 2nd vaccine? I was out today -- I'm very tired after my 2nd Pfizer vaccine on Monday. I'm considering taking tomorrow off also -- I'll decide in the morn. I'm just curious as to the experience of others who were in this situation. Thanks.

    Nope, got my second yesterday and so far feeling fine, arms a litt sore is all. I'm tired but had some Xanax so can't really attribute it to a side effect 🤣



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,467 ✭✭✭gipi


    I'm retired, so didn't miss work, but I wasn't fit to move for about 36 hours after my 2nd Pfizer. The vaccines (both jabs) set off my gallstones, especially the 2nd jab, I was in agony day and night for about 36 hours. I wouldn't have been able to go anywhere.

    Time limits for indoor hospitality to be scrapped. More at 11.

    Tomorrow is my day 10 (wasn’t positive on first test after close contact) yet haven’t had a text for a covid test. Should I just do a walk in?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,472 ✭✭✭Mimon


    Was fairly banjaxed after the second Moderna shot. Got it in the afternoon and went to work the next day, bit tired, then it hit me that evening, could barely walk, muscles seized up and had joint pains. Was way better the day after though so short lived.

    If you need it you should take it off.

    A colleague never got the text but he checked the portal and his appointment was on there for the next day. Check if you haven't already.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,472 ✭✭✭Mimon


    Sorry read that wrong, thought it was a vaccine you were waiting on.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 877 ✭✭✭jams100


    Do you only receive the covid-19 cert when your fully vaccinated?

    Hasn't the evidence shown that one shot of pfizer is basically the same as one shot of the janseen vaccine?

    Bit odd that someone who gets pfizer has to wait about 4 extra weeks and someone who gets j&j is immediately seen as fully vaccinated

    9 people study using bloodwork. Mental that made the editors cut particularly with that headline. There has been two other small scale studies that contradict that directly.


    None of these 3 have been peer reviewed so probably needs more analysis to be honest



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 3,675 ✭✭✭Tork


    Make your decision in the morning. I was banjaxed the day after getting my 2nd Pfizer vaccine and had some aches and pains. I slept like a log that night and when I woke the next morning, I felt great. I got a pretty good night's sleep into the bargain, something I wouldn't mind at the moment with the weather we're having



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,678 ✭✭✭Multipass


    wow, same here. Mine was after the 2nd shot of Moderna



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 41,430 ✭✭✭✭PTH2009


    Are we at a stage where another big lockdown is effectively off the cards because of the EU cert and the fact it can be used for Hospitality here ?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 5,753 ✭✭✭Widdensushi


    The fact that so many people are vaccinated is why another lockdown is not going to happen

    Ending up in Covid with Hospital wouldn’t be nice alright, then again… Nurses!
