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

He said the market had provided the solution

Ahahaha

What a clown

That doesn't stop Fauci spouting lies and bullshit on TV

These health officials need winding back in world wide.

Pretty sure like everything else with this Government, its a figment of their imagination 🙄 Donnelly reminds me of one of evangelical American Sales people on QVC , or one of those corporate American zealots giving motivational speeches to their work force .

Your quotes don't say what you keep falsely repeating. Nowhere did I say that there were no restrictions because I wasn't affected by them. Someone said there were a myriad of restrictions affecting EVERY aspect of people's lives and I pointed out that they don't affect EVERY aspect of people's lives. You've twisted what I said to try to put down everything else I say. That's blatantly obvious. You dismiss everything I post by using your twisted version of what I said rather than attempt to actually debate what is currently being discussed. Either debate fairly or don't debate at all. Thanks in advance.

It's irrelevant how many people actually get their 5-11 year olds vaccinated. The point is that the Government are willing to spend in excess of 50 million without a single query raised about the benefits.

Remember when people were going crazy about the cost of a national children's hospital? At least we were getting a hospital at the end of that - something that pretty much anyone who's interacted with our health service agreed was needed.

But that was pre-covid. Now with a bit of media hysteria, the government can burn through tens of billions without any questions as to value or need. The access to cheap-credit has destroyed this country and the younger generation have been sold down the river and loaded up with debt in one of the most cynical exercises I have seen from a bunch of cowards that are entrusted with prudent governance.

Given the lack of any leadership, Messaging generally, one would suffice

Ah, here we go again. I haven't denied that at any stage. You're arguing about something I haven't disputed. It's yer man bucketybuck who keeps saying that I've said 'there are no restrictions if you don't do restricted things'. Again, for those that struggle with comprehension, I didn't say that.

Much as it would like to continue the precedent set over the last two years, the media can no longer avoid reporting on the peaceful protests that are happening around the globe and in Ireland because they're all over social media and their complicity in suppressing dissent was becoming too obvious. So instead, they will report on the protests and pick visuals that will deter the more easily propagandised and squeamish from taking part.

Standard propaganda practice.

I’m over in the states ( Connecticut) since Saturday. What a different world it is. People going on as normal with hardly any talk of cases etc. I was in a cool pizza spot last night. The place was buzzing and no covid certs or anything asked for. The incidence rate here in CT( don’t know about other states or care tbh) is lower than Ireland despite more normality. No constant threats of restrictions or lockdowns. Go on to the RTE app and the doom and gloom hits, quite fascinating.

If the rollout hits 50% and stops (reduces for the simpletons) a bunch of onward transmission then the program will easily be quids in (cost of PCR test not being given, cost of hospital beds going unused), in addition, the vaccines are already bought (based on expected demand rather than buying for 100%) and the administration of vaccines is already in place, the additional cost will be negligible vs. the benefit. This tends to be used as an excuse not to vaccinate.

Vaccination is by far the cheapest form of healthcare and is probably the only part of the health system that gives more bang per buck than "hospital beds" spending.

These people are professionals in media. Whatever stood out to you was meant to.

People who find the presence of a small handful of loons at a protest an adequate reason to stay away will never attend any protest. It's a permanent feature in activism.

You constantly played down the restrictions as being nothing more than a mere inconvenience, which is fair enough if it doesn't affect you personally but for a lot of people it was an absolute nightmare.

You've clearly never pissed into the thrust of a 747

Different discussion. It really depended on which restrictions you're referring to. Some are a mere inconvenience, some moreso. I didn't, however, as bucketybuck has repeated numerous times, say, 'there are no restrictions if you don't do the restricted things'.
