Coronavirus - Here come the variants

[fenwaypark]

Look im not going to engage with you with the greatest respect.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

Because there is no getting away from the opportunistic line that is being spun.

[Biff_Egan]

Is it even possible for Maura in the HSE and Ashutosh to devise a system where teachers, Gardai or any other cohort are identified and allotted appointments in the correct locations in a timely manner etc?

[fenwaypark]

No because you are a prick.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

The vaccine rollout has been underway since the end of December.

Teachers have been fairly quiet until now in April when it now looks like they won’t be vaccinated in time for their summer holidays.

The only pricks here are the teachers and their unions who are agitating for vaccines so they can have the potential to travel this summer and enjoy the freedoms that come with it.

They should wait their turn like everyone else but of course they want to hold the country to ransom.

Again I don’t know, it probably hasn’t been published.
But teachers can of course contract the virus, and if they do would almost certainly be a greater risk to closing down an entire school

I read a doctor in South Africa state that when someone receives a vaccine, they have basically been infected and can transmit the virus. On this basis, students and teachers are far safer without the vaccine than with.

Was wondering where he ended up.

Christ above. This is what you are dealing with here.

I’m not a doctor m8, I’m taking a medical professionals opinion, isn’t that what we are all doing?
Do you understand the science behind it, if so plase enlighten me. Thanks in advance.

[glasagusban]

No one else in the world has said this. But one doctor in SA has now, it must be true.

[gaillimhmick]

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

“Fallen women” in the 1970s were viewed the same way. We’ve not developed much as a country.

If anyone wanted proof that Long Covid is a cod then I need not say anymore.

Dr Ida Milne (milnem)

Imagine teachers milking something like Covid for all its worth.

@TreatyStones

It also means the most vulnerable teachers and guards will be vaccinated first. Any person with their own underlying conditions will be vaccinated in that cohort, as will any vulnerable people they are living with.
I don’t see how any fit and healthy teachers could argue against that.

It’s just a bit dumb to risk closing down more classes and schools for the sake of vaccinating healthy people at no risk,

Hang on - are you saying that there are whole swathes of the population “at no risk” ?

[Aertel220]

You seem to be assuming that all teachers always agree with the teaching unions outlook. There would be a disconnect between the head of a teaching union and the opinions of young post-2011 teachers who would be on relatively meagre wages compared to their older counterparts. They don’t necessarily represent every teachers opinions, just the more vocal ones.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

List of teachers who have come out and said that it is right that they wait their turn with everyone else?

List of teachers who have spoken out against the union on this?

List:

relatively meagre wages compared to their older counterparts.

Still on a very good wage.

[glasagusban]

I think the point is clear that people working from home are at less risk than people not working from home.

[Fulvio_From_Aughnacloy]

How many people not at risk working from home are being vaccinated now?
