They want to continue all current restrictions, that will not be enough for the hermits though who wont be happy until the entire nation is once again in level 5 lockdown.
You arenât dealing with the reality of the situation. The 2019 and before situation is not remotely comparable to this.
This is different level stuff.
And the hospital staff in this country are drained and demoralised from 19 months of this.
It is fascinating how the same people who were crying bloody murder over hospital backlogs now seem content for the country to have no functioning health service.
i) Very few medical staff are refusing to take the vaccine. Can you give me an example of anybody working in ICU who has refused to take it?
ii) I have no empathy for anybody who takes a decision to put the lives of those they are supposed to be caring for at significant risk. If such rare people do exist in the Irish health service, no I have no empathy for their decision, because they would be showing no empathy to those they are supposed to be caring for.
Whereas you and others who refuse to deal with the reality of this situation are showing no empathy to anybody working in the health service. Or the patients who will have to go through it this winter.
Nobody favours that. But if weâre serious about ever getting back to normality, we need everybody to get vaccinated, down to 0 years when approved.
And it might be a three dose vaccine, it might be four.
Thatâs the reality.
And if people continue to refuse, Iâd have no problem in saying I think they should be cut out of society - sackings, no social welfare if necessary - because otherwise there might not be much of a society left, itâs that serious.
I donât know what the legal implications of all that are but something drastic may well be necessary. That will depend on the decisions of those who are not vaccinated.
