I said I was just leaving it there. I have no interest in engaging with you otherwise.

Enjoy your weekend

The religion of the mask. Alright..that sounds so over the top, it seems like hysteria. And lumping "masks" together as though they do the same thing is ludicrous. Again I point to Germany's lack of covid cases by using FFP2 masks.

Everybody knows they were a nuisance and a restriction. Especially the useless bits of plastic that some hung around their heads.

The reality is that the current "rules" amount to nothing and it's too late to change the outcome. Mandatory rules now will only protect hospitals in a couple of weeks. The rules don't need to be changed.

What's your masterplan to end this pandemic so?

I think the majority of people will have known they've been free the entire time...

People have been "free" to do all of those for a long time now - what are these mysterious shackles that boardsies are still waiting to cast off?

Posters blether on about how some people have become mentally unhinged worrying about masks etc. - much more prevalent (on here, at least) seem to be those who have honed their victim complexes and erected themselves a "perpetually oppressed" pedestal that they are keen to stay atop.

The biggest irony I have witnessed throughout all of this is the fact that for two years the do-gooders worshipped Sir Tony and his public health advice, then the minute it doesn’t suit their agenda they’re saying it’s wrong. That to me is absolutely incredible. It’s also worrying, embarrassing, shameful, etc.

You said the entire time, now you're deflecting, nice one.

Here is one example

But isn't that the exact same thing the "not do-gooders" were doing, in reverse? When Tony was recommending restrictions and changes, they were screaming about how dangerous and wrong he was. But now that he's on the "no restrictions" wagon, sure isn't he great?

They just introduced the vaccines and the significantly more transmissible and less dangerous variant as cover.

Another nice little drop in hospital this morning, 1535 down to 1472.

All suggesting that the media drama from earlier this week was quite unwarranted.

Big difference is, those people and myself never changed position. We had our views and stuck to them. We are not calling Tony Holohan a hero

Where as the others are shamelessly changing theirs from their original, "We love you Tony! Tony is right!" stances to "Tony is wrong! Tony is evil! Government are evil to get rid of NPHET even though Tony Holohan is still CMO and the Government are going by his advice, like they always have but, we're too thick to understand that" stances

I mean, we had some person on here, eat their Christmas Dinner at the window, to see who and how many were going into their neighbours' houses because Tony said they shouldn't be.

To put it into context how Joey Tribbiani some people are...

CMO and Government: "Advice is still there to wear your mask on public transport and in crowded indoor settings"

People: "Waaaaaahhhh we need leadership! Tell us what to do"

Government and CMO: "We just did. You're free to wear a mask if you wish"

People: "Waaaaaahhhh I don't want a choice, make me wear one! Lead me!!"

It's like some sort of suppressed sexual fantasy people have.

Appalling ****
