Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

O and your 100% correct, just wanted to mention the backlash has started over on Liveline 😏

Excuse me, what am I wrong about exactly?

It emerged as a signal quickly. It was then disputed, such that Ireland continued to administer it after some countries had banned it (hence why we paid millions in settlements in the High Court this year). It took MANY years to reach a consensus on Pandemrix. Even you're trying to dispute that it's an issue in the above post.

The signal that myocarditis is an issue for some demographics with COVID-19 vaccines, is of the same order as the signal back then for narcolepsy.

11 ICU beds free in the whole country

this is third world sh1t

Happy enough but some of those rules are comical and 'only in Ireland' territory

Felt very anxious for the last week with the way the media were portraying the situation

Gigs not allowed standing area is a bit of a bummer and hopefully something is sorted

God help pubs in December

So no standing at gigs but we will be able to dance in nightclubs.. Jesus christ this country *facepalm*

Kind of agree with you here tbh. Personally I think if they go with the COVID pass to enter a venue, then there shouldn't be a restriction inside said venue when you're in. I'm just back from a city break in Europe and it was COVID pass to enter, but that was it. I believe clubs were at 75%/80% capacity though, didn't seem like it to me. Actually now that I think about it, the restriction was applied to unvaccinated numbers and those with the pass didn't count towards the limit. Something like that anyway.

As an aside, and I mean this genuinely, if you're anxious about the whole thing, step away from Boards for a while, or at least the restrictions thread, real life isn't nearly as bad as some portray on here. Its far from perfect, but most things are continuing on.

The capacity remains limited to how many people can be seated in line the the social distancing. These crumbs are not going to make the massive differences you think they are.

Dengvaxia campaign was launched in the Phillipines in April 2016 after approved for commercial sale in December 2015. The campaign was suspended in December 2017 after it was found that it could cause more severe disease (hypothesised antibody dependent enhancement) in people who were vaccinated without having ever been infected with dengue. About 700,000 people had received at least one dose of the vaccination.

It remains a fairly high effectiveness vaccine in use, but is only given to people who have previously been infected with dengue.

Being told things "never" happen gets old. "There's not even any mechanism by which the mRNA injections could cause any serious side effects" was something being thrown about before the GBS, clots, myocarditis etc. came to light.

I am coming over to Dublin next week and going to a gig in the Olympia Theatre that is standing (was originally meant to be 14 March last year and has been rescheduled numerous times since). Looks like I won't get in then if I understand the rules correctly

A countdown like New Year's Eve as everyone waits for the clock to strike 12:30
