Covid 19 Part XXXV-956,720 ROI (5,952 deaths) 452,946 NI (3,002 deaths) (08/01) Read OP

Ah yes RTE and other Media in cahoots with Mr Tedros today. Apparently we aren’t learning to live with Covid because there are 1 million ‘related’ covid deaths so far this year. Also we have the necessary ‘tools’ to stop this apparently. This shyte and the quest for perpetual restrictions will never end. Does Tedros know that 17 million people die every year from heart disease? I have never seen him condemn a McDonalds or a KFC food chain. My 56 year old cousin dropped dead a few weeks ago enjoying said diet.

It’s like this. I’m getting my second booster tomorrow. Yes Covid is not going away or will it ever go away and it will never be over. Unfortunately the zealots will never go away either and i suspect they will get angrier and louder as time goes on. I’m seeing on social media including twitter they are beginning to lose the plot more and more.

As i said, getting my booster tomorrow and as far as I’m concerned Covid is over for me. They can all **** off including anyone who has an issue with my post.

Getting a second booster seems to be a big contradiction from the first part of your post, Micky. DLink was right to question that.

Not really. It’s a personal choice. It’s not a restriction. You don’t have to get vaccinated these days so why does that seem to bother Mr DLink whether i get vaccinated or not? I don’t care if he gets a booster or not or am i demanding that he should. My point is that i have done everything i was asked to do to get my normalcy back. Like most people i sacrificed 2 years and got vaccinated and there are still some out there who think it’s not good enough and continue with the doom and gloom while on a quest for restrictions and further society shutdowns.

You do realise the WHO want you to give up your normal life and want governments to reintroduce restrictions and mask mandates is one of them. Just sayin’ ….

But ok i will give my reasons for my booster. I’m not 30 anymore i hit 50 last year. My work is high risk for contracting Covid and i have 2 transatlantic flights in the next month. I regularly travel over to the States.

No i don’t plan to take every new vaccine that comes out but i may take a booster every autumn just like people take the flu shot every year( no i don’t take the flu shot or any other vaccine)

. However if Covid miraculously dwindles out i won’t be taking any more jabs for sure.

Just look at the people who pocketed a fortune over the last few years!!

Any sign of that headbanger who was all over Irish media for 2 years, predicted over 100,000 deaths back in March 2020...in the end it was the sole factor in less than 200 deaths!!!

The rest had suffered at least one serious comorbidity, many of them multiple comorbidity's, the very same people who had access to the health systems pulled from them!!!

While imposing quarantine on healthy peoples is and will continue to take a massive toll on people.

The price of this madness is only starting to manifest itself, I hope those in charge of this are ashamed of themselves.

Is that because the shinners and assorted lefties wanted harder and longer lockdowns I.e. zero covid? I won't forget that for sure!

He is a dangerous individual, wasn't is he who suggested men should have a licence to leave their homes in the evening after that murder earlier in the year!!

Probably believes that climate change created the virus and toxic masculinity spread it!!

The only smart thing I've done in recent times is to completely stop engaging with Irish mainstream media, I should have done it 20 years ago!

And our government were all on for signing the WHO Pandemic treaty. Sheer madness, people need to keep a very close eye on what is happening and not rely or engage with mainstream media at the same time!

Yes indeed. And Rishi Sunak is calling out the UK government for doing just that, it’s interesting that none of the Irish media have commented on his covid restrictions views yet.. they have been reporting on his and Liz Truss’s media interactions eagerly… except this one so far.

Last month I was in hospital for a specialised cardiac surgery. No questions asked, no Covid test either. All good, and thanks for asking I'm still here!

As I have this issue with the ticker I will be getting the booster, and the flu jab, and the pneumonia jab. I'll be high as a kite.

What does that have to do with COVID? Already planning made up situations where a non existent gig is cancelled?

Cool story bro, proudly hang the great Barrington declaration beside your che Guevara poster.

Wrong thread

Unfortunately, you are not wrong, like much of the world we are seeing increases in excess death, that is death above the norm, much higher than what we saw in 2020/2021 when the media were shouting death numbers at us at all times every day.

We shut off the health system to everyone no matter what their health status or requirements.

I vividly remember seeing Micheal Martin react to Mattie McGrath when McGrath asked him about cancers, heart issues, when the Dail sat in the Bord Gais Theatre...he spoke to McGrath like he was a buachail dana, Martin regressed back into a school teacher trying to deal with unruly kids, about his level really!! There was a leader way out of his depth, FF have destroyed the Irish economy on at least 3 occasions now, I think what is unfolding right now will be far worse than anything they have done before!!

It is not good enough to point to all the other countries who also did similar, we went deeper and longer with our lock downs and restrictions than most for a virus that affects the elderly in a country with one of the youngest population in the EU.

Again, to put it in context, a 5% increase in excess death is 1,500 extra deaths a year, this is going to go on for at least 3 years, that blame lies squarely with Nphet and the Cabinet. 5% is at the low end of what other nations are experiencing, but again, our youthful population is probably a factor in that also.

I wonder is the article saying that if you were exposed to the virus that you are a covid statistic whether sick or not? I wonder if you are exposed to Covid do you create antibodies even though not infected.

I was definitely exposed to it. I was in a small room with a few other people for approximately 2 hours. One person in the room had it ( unbeknownst to her) and she was actually sitting next to me. Two days later everyone in the room became ill except me. Not even a sniffle. I also kept testing negative and no one close to me became ill either in the following days. So I assumed that because i wasn’t ill, tested negative and that no one else caught anything from me i didn’t have Covid.
