    Truly pathetic. I suspect that you are being confronted with information you had no knowledge of and now can't get yourself out a hole. I have made my point about what people were told. It's no secret.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    It's a section of a statement that I had already quoted in full. Go back and read my post again. I'm not hiding anything. You're good for a laugh if nothing else.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭shillyshilly


    :-D :-D :-D hardly, just trying to make sense of your garbage



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes, and to support this, you posted an article that you claimed something you didn't.

    You continue to try and mispresent it by editing out parts of sentences that are awkward for your point and just pretending whole sections of that article don't exist. You are either lying about it, or you just never actually read it in the first place.

    You can't even be honest now you've been caught out.

    This isn't the first time this has happened with you.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    A cheap shot, your reply has nothing to do with what I said. You don't actually have an argument.

    As I said:

    "It's a section of a statement that I had already quoted in full. Go back and read my post again. I'm not hiding anything."

    You are approaching desperation now or are you always this confused?



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes, you previous stated it in full.

    Why did you edit the end off the sentence the previous time?


    Why would I be desperate? You've already exposed yourself as a liar. You are the one scrambling to weasel away from the point.

    And again, you're misrepresenting things.

    In your second link, there's nothing in there about him claiming 100% anything.

    In your third link it's not referring to the vaccines you guys have been railing against this whole thread and it doesn't say it's 100% effective or safe. It says it's 100% effective against severe disease.

    And of course, if you actually look into that vaccine beyond what you see in twitter you can find:

    Primary vaccination with Beta-containing vaccine candidate delivers 64.7% efficacy against symptomatic infection in adults, and 75.1% efficacy in participants previously infected with COVID-19


    Against Omicron, sequencing analysis performed to date shows 72% efficacy in all adults and 93.2% in seropositives


    And unfortunately, your first video is no available to me, so I can only assume that you're misrepresenting that as well.


    But all of this is just more chaff you're throwing out to avoid the points you don't want to think about anymore.

    How are age adjusted numbers relevant to a discussion about deaths and excess mortality?

    You really have to ask the question? Seriously?

    The age adjusted figures show no excess mortality for the latter part of 2021.

    What happened in July 2017 to make the number rise significantly from July to December?

    aw boo hoo.

    You said viruses through natural selection become weaker, and argued that I didn't understand the science....

    By that logic, we shouldn't worry about any other flu viruses, ebola, measles etc... because they had their time to shine, and will naturally just be weaker versions than before?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    You can quote studies all you like. I was talking about what people were told.

    They were told it was 100% safe and effective. They weren't directed to the manufacturer website to check it for themselves. Most were told little about the detail or trusted what they were told.

    It was sold to the public as the only way out of it. It was called a vaccine because they wanted people to believe that it would eradicate the disease.

    The reality is it hasn't lived up to the high expectations that were set. The more we did to control it the worse it got.

    Accept that or not I don't care but this is where we are. I know a lot of people are hurting because they have been let down and taken for fools. You need to get past that. Shaking your fist at the moon will do you no good. Lashing out at strangers on the internet is not going to solve anything. The truth is being revealed more and more each day. Direct your anger at those that deserve it.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    Yes, that will happen. I'm not saying we shouldn't worry about the serious ones now just that in time they will become milder. Ebola is a perfect example. It has a high case fatality rate and therefore doesn't spread as effectively as flu so it's not as effective at doing what it wants to do - find hosts to spread through the population and replicate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,075 ✭✭✭jackboy


    What about Smallpox? Virulent and deadly for centuries.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    Very much more deadly in the past and eradicated by inoculation and vaccination. Like Ebola it's spread by contact so doesn't have the same opportunity as an airborne virus. But I'm not a virologist and the discussion is mainly about flu like viruses which are airborne.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 547 ✭✭✭shillyshilly


    unfortunately not the case, it's not a guarantee that it will always mutate into a less dangerous version of itself.

    As you said in a later post, you're not a virologist, so please stop claiming things then which are blatantly false.



  • Administrators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 15,871 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Big Bag of Chips


    @DrFrost a number of your posts have been actioned for being irrelevant and personally attacking posters.

    All posters are reminded to attack the post, not the poster. If you find yourself getting wound up by someone log off for a while.

    I will be reviewing the thread later and posts that breach the charter will receive warnings, which are accumulative.



  • Posts: 966 ✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Aight, I'm retiring from this forum again. It sucks, anyway. Good luck going 'round in circles with the usual; my work here is done 😄👍🏻



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,183 ✭✭✭✭drunkmonkey


    Not making any comment on you decision but for clarity can you define personal attack.

    My friend died a few hours after his second jab, a few more now have heart problems and we're being called liars and being told it never happened.

    It's one poster that continually uses the words, liar and grifter and adds nothing to the thread but whataboutery and this had been going on way before COVID have a look back at his vaccine posts from 10yrs +. On any other thread he would be called a troll and managed accordingly. (That's not a hit on you as your only catching up)

    There's a conversation to be had and this thread will probably be around for a while, the whataboutery needs to end, it's trolling an an epic level and I'd bet more that one person has those logins as it's cut and paste every day.

    I like the way the thread is modded you get all perspectives it's the unnecessary and never backed up whataboutery is the killer from one source in particular.

    Total all cause mortality. How can you claim there are no excess deaths. It's despicable.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    I'm sorry to hear about your friend. I know a few people who died after the jab though no one close yet.

    Thankfully I stopped a few close family members from getting. Not all had the will to get through the restrictions and felt they had no other choice but to get the jab. They are okay so far.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,528 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    You have continually demonstrated you are incapable of understanding the concept of excess deaths.

    If you can't grasp the concept of how total deaths need to be age adjusted to take into account changing population demographics across years, that's on you.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    Then I will assume it's irrelevant until you grace us with your wisdom and offer an explanation.

    The explanation should of course include how the population suddenly changed in June 2021 despite the restrictions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,528 ✭✭✭✭odyssey06


    It has already been explained to you.

    For example, this is from the CSO, already posted on the thread:

    A rise in deaths from one year to another is not automatically considered to be excess deaths. The number of deaths per calendar year has followed an increasing trend since 2010.

    Why do you think that is?

    Could it have anything to do with an aging population?

    You present the data for 2015-2019 and 2021 as if they represented comparisons of the same population. But they aren't. Ireland's population has increased as a whole and also by more than the general increase, in the over 65s and over 80s.

    This is why we need 'age adjusted' figures.

    The numbers of deaths per 100 000 population are influenced by the age distribution of the population. 


    "To follow knowledge like a sinking star..." (Tennyson's Ulysses)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 594 ✭✭✭Fr0g


    I know all that. I does not in any way explain the sudden rise in deaths exactly half way through the year.

    What was the sudden change in June 2021 that accounts for the rise in deaths. Where did all the old people suddenly appear from?

    This is your last opportunity I will not ask again.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,503 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    It can't be nonsense when you keep referencing it yourself :) Agree to cut your pedantic nonsense or continue living in the dark like a fungus.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Again. You posted that article.

    You lied about what it said.

    Why did you lie about it when you're trying to "uncover the truth"?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,442 ✭✭✭bad2thebone


    My condolences to you over losing your friend, a friend of mine lost her son who was 23 after the jab. He was gone within a few days, he had a bad reaction to it and it was a clot he got.

    I've been close to a few who had losses after the clot shot. It's shocking that people are not suspicious or can't see the wood from the trees.

    I've a feeling that batches have also been left to fester and the administration of the vaccines is definitely questionable. People who are supposedly sticking it willy nilly, not even going through the right procedure.

    It was more than one person calling you a liar, I was one who did also, on the back of the Israeli article you posted which actually was about nothing to do with the study it referenced... where you said you read the study... so you lied...

    As sad as the boohoo story is, that's all it is without proof, a story ... it's not facebook or twitter here, if you're going to claim something, have the evidence to back it up.

    For ref, which I responded to and you dodged:
