It was right there tbf.
Looks to me like the words âherd immunityâ are doing a heel turn with the Lockdown Lovers now embracing it.
âSure thereâs no mad rush, we need herd immunity anyway before we reopen guysâ
The lockdown lovers are at home on full pay. Why would they want it to end?

Itâs going to take 4 vaccinators a day to do facilities with less that 30 residents. Handy gig if you can get it Iâd say.
Handy?
Yeah very handy. It takes less than 60 seconds to administer a vaccine. Thefour of them will be standing around scratching their holes most of the day.

Sounds awful to me but each to their own.
I just canât get over this.
Itâs either an emergency or it isnât.
Covid either doesnât take a break for Christmas or it does.
Donât mingle, donât do anything to risk spreading the virus, this is too seriousâŚby the way we have the vaccinations but weâre going to sit on them for nearly a week. Do you see the complete contradiction there?
I think the majority of Sunday papers didnât catch the public mood today. A lot of them went with yesterdayâs forklift photo op and accompanying âray of lightâ headlines, but the 8 (eight) people Iâve spoken to today are angry and mystified at this latest fuck up.
One of them is a very, very intelligent and logical person (an actuary, cc @flattythehurdler). Her view was that, if cases are going to increase appreciably any time we come out of lockdown (exacerbated by the new strain), and theyâre going to impose/retain restrictions now because of that fear, then the vaccination programme is naturally the way out and it surely becomes much more important than testing and tracing.
In other words, every available resource should be thrown at the vaccination programme. They should be hiring, they should be working 24/7, they should be setting ambitious targets rather than trying to temper expectations and making an already fatigued public even more pissed off at their snail pace plan.
In fairness, there were some dissenting media voices too - Colin Coyle in the Sunday Times, Tom Lyons in The Currency, Gavan Reilly on his radio show today.
Itâs beyond baffling. Heads need to roll over this. Iâm seething.

In the document they estimated a 12 minute time for vaccinations. So six hours for one person to do 30 people. Now its taking 4 times as long already and they not even started

They can lockdown and shut while industries quickly but they canât take a vaccine out of a box for 4 days. As you said, this is either a public health emergency or it isnât.

The Health Service is there to benefit the providers/staff not the users. Lockdowns are being advised by the HSE for its own benefit. Itâs always been this way. Imagine working in the hospitality sector and refusing to work the weekend. Itâs ridiculous. Check out any hospital car park and surrounding areas at weekends. Deserted. Packed Monday to Friday.
