If that wasnât your argument, well then what was your argument? Do you even know at this stage?
Whatâs not dumb about this response?
Allying yourself with low ability forum cranks isnât a good look, a chara.
Refuse to engage with what some has said, make up something they said and reply to that instead, ask to repeat, something something zero covid, rinse and repeat.
Oh the ironing.
In contrast to me, youâve been one of the most disingenuous and evasive posters here during the pandemic.
And youâre being so again.
Why do you think Professor Ricciardi said what he said? Do you not acknowledge he may have a point?
A neighbour of mine has asymptomatic long covid

Long Covid is not asymptomatic. Symptomatic long Covid (there is no other kind) can arise from an initial infection which is asymptomatic.
Would it be possible to be symptomatic at first but then for the long covid to be asymptomatic? Thatâs what seems to have happened him. He got a bad dose around 6 months ago.
The Mike Hunt philosophy.
Long Covid is a cod.

Long Covid is always symptomatic. It is something which affects quality of life in a physical sense. Something which affects quality of life beyond the initial infection period by definition cannot be asymptomatic.
Iâd call this disingenuous:
If thatâs the level you want to engage at then whatâs the point with you?
Something something zero covid. And on and on you go.
Iâd call that post extremely disingenuous.
Why are you continuing to refuse to address what Professor Ricciardi said?
Professor Ricciardi is not some crank.
Prof. Walter Ricciardi is the President of the Italian National Institute of Health (Istituto Superiore di SanitĂ ) since September 2015.
He is Professor of Hygiene and Public Health at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart in Rome.
Since 1993 he has held a number of key positions including President of the European Public Health Association, and has undertaken work with the World Health Organisation and the European Commission.
He has been a Fellow of the Faculty of Public Health Medicine, Royal Colleges of Physicians of the United Kingdom and a Member of the Executive Board of the National Board of Medical Examiners of the United States of America.
In 2010 he has been elected President of the European Public Health Association (2010-2012) and President of the Public Health Section of the Higher Health Council of Italy and he has been re-elected for a second term in both institutions (2012-2014).
In 2013 he has been appointed Member of the Expert Panel on Investing in Health of the European Commission (2013-2015).
He is Editor of the European Journal of Public Health, of the Oxford Handbook of Public Health Practice and Founding Editor of the Italian Journal of Public Health and of Epidemiology Biostatistics and Public Health.
Address what he said.
Is hypochondria one of the symptoms?

Youâre still evading.
And youâve also proved my earlier evaluation of your pro-antigen testing argument correct.
Is this the biggest fastest internet climbdown in history?
Booster jabs for everyone wonât solve the pandemic in Europe?
Iâve not evaded. He says Holohan was right on one aspect of the use of antigen tests. However he hasnât addressed the fact that Holohan has made every effort to block or frustrate any use of antigen tests. Holohan is wrong in that. Like heâs been wrong on mask wearing. I can do a Google and find plenty more soundbites from plenty more scientists that say Holohan is and has been wrong. Of course youâll dismiss them because scientists are only quotable when they agree with you.
Feel free to ignore this post and make up something that Iâve said and reply to that instead like you usually do.

How is it a climbdown?
Booster jabs will undoubtedly help the situation very significantly.
Three doses for every person in a country might well eliminate the virus in that country. If everybody in Europe got three doses, I think there are very reasonable grounds to expect we would be well on the way to eliminating it in Europe.
Currently weâre in a situation where 25% of Irelandâs population have had 0 vaccine doses, and only a very small percentage of the population have had three doses.
And in Europe, there are lots of countries which have between 40 and 70% unvaccinated. Even the most vaccinated countries have a level of unvaccination which is too high.
