If the risk of death from Covid is 1 or 2 deaths a day, and that is an unacceptable level of risk, then it is immoral and unethical to open up. There will always be a low risk of death from Covid, even if everyone is vaccinated (which will never happen), as at least 10% do not gain immunity from a vaccine and there will always be new variants to worry about.
These are very simple concepts, surprised an intelligent person like yourself cannot grasp them.
Like a Tomas Ryan autism rant
Cormac OâhEadhra screeching hysterically about the delta variant on Drivetime. Wants it all locked down, indefinitely.
None of that addresses my point to you.
You have said you oppose âfearmongeringâ.
And yet here, on this thread, you have said, with no basis whatsoever in evidence, that the plan in Ireland is âlockdown foreverâ.
This is blatant fearmongering.
You know full well what you said is nonsense and pure hypocrisy and you know full well Iâm correct on this.
And youâre obviously embarrassed at the correct point Iâve made about what you said, but donât want to lose face by admitting you;re wrong, which you know you are.
Come off it, mate, even I believe youâre better than this.
Heâs some dose that lad. Stupid name too.
Lol
My recollection is what Ryan said there seemed quite reasonable, like the vast majority of what he has said throughout the pandemic. He made a logical point.
But I suppose when you donât like it, youâ'll dismiss it. Thatâs your form.
No coming back from that. Youâve certainly stuck it to me there.
It is not fearmongering to suggest Ireland will continue current restrictions as long as NPHET believe they are necessary. The evidence is that they will.
You cannot actually address anything in my post so you want to argue semantics, but sure thatâs what you spend your day at.
Of course itâs fearmongering to suggest âlockdown foreverâ is the plan! What else could it be?
It has no basis in evidence, itâs just a paranoid rant.
I thought you were against fearmongering?
This reminds me of the auld battles that @Sidney and @Labane1917 used to have. Youâd miss those two posters in particular.
Lockdown forever is the plan, including keeping pubs closed forever as the Irish cannot be trusted around drink. Ireland will be a utopia for teetotaler headbangers in no time.
Ah come off it, pal.
Thatâs crazy talk.
I had two pints earlier today by the way.
He said he had no data but made a scaremongering claim anyway. Youâre here calling others hypocrites over fear mongering. Be consistent
Yeah but my recollection is the point he made was logical. It was a hypothesis. Thatâs how science works.
It wasnât either logical or science based. Scientists do not come up with a hypothesis without evidence.
It was dangerous misinformation, like something Trump would suggest.
Well of course you didnât like the point, so you would say that. Can you tell me what it was?
Nice of you to admit that Trump is a disinformation monger. It has taken a while.
He made a scaremongering point to further an agenda (as is ISAG practice). You play it off because you agree with him.
Youâre the biggest hypocrite here.
Just admit you canât even remember the point. 
The hypocrite thing really hurt you, didnât it?
Nice to know I touched a nerve at least.
Just admit youâre a hypocrite mate.
Although, I donât want to touch a nerve with you. We all know where that ends
