Lets see how the winter goes, mate.
I think youāre very wrong. Everyone was talking them up during the summer when seasonal viruses generally arent a problem.
The winter now is the acid test. Its not looking good early doors.
McDonkey is even saying it. Those vaccines which were supposed to be our way out of this was a load of bollocks.
Testing should be used rather than a perishable covid cert. Its madness.

Whatās your alternative, let it rip and let the health service be over run and people die? The numbers are rocketing up in hospital and ICU, just let them at it? The vaccines arenāt perfect, far from it, but the booster will hopefully get us over the hump. In my mind we have to do a combo of vaccinate and let the virus spread so some form of natural immunity is built up. But thatās a fine line to traverseā¦ Winter of course was always gonna see a spike for obvious reasons. Israel has shown that the booster does workā¦ If it helps bring numbers down and let us get on with living safely Iāll take the vaccine every month, itās not a bother to me. Itās a two second jab in my arm. Iāve smoked, taken pills and powder and drank ā¦and ate all the wrong foods . I wonāt be getting all high and mighty about putting āshitā into my body at this stage of my life. Iāll roll the dice and get on with it. I donāt think the world of science is out to kill everyone.
This cunt is loving it.
Will anyone call out NPHET over their stance around antigen testing?
Yes. In about 5 yearsā time when theyāve disbanded.
Yeah I will
Are there many/any clusters in gyms?
Shur ye headbangers wonāt go for tests or the Vaccine 
Good man. 
Iām double vaxxed
Iāll tag the shit out of them on Twitter
First of all. The health service has always been overrun. 48 people on trolleys today in the regional. It is an awful setup. Could the HSE have done better capacity wise nearly 2 years into a pandemic? Maybe, surely.
Look its fundamentally abhorrent how FFG have run the HSE for as long as I can remember anyway. Its only getting worse as well. What I would do with the covid situation - Its not an easy answer but I would go out of my way to protect the elderly and vulnerable. Quarterly boosters may help them from the limited data that is there.
For the rest of us relatively healthy and young, I would let the virus run through. I donāt think there is any other option in fairness which Iāve said all along. End of the day the majority of the public thankfully arent at risk of serious illness and death. The government absolutely have to weigh the negatives of more rolling lockdowns vs the positives.
If we lockdown again this winter, weāll have to do the same in 2022 and 2023 and beyond. If the majority of the public are happy with. Fair enough.
Ultimately, you donāt stop an airborne virus when its endemic. Thats where we are.
Anyone that will have their livelihood affected calling for a lockdown on telly/radio over the past few weeks?
This is at least his second go at a āwhy does Ireland have more cases than anywhere else articleā but I donāt think heās any closer to improving on we donāt have a clue as the answer yet.

Not enough hand washing, pal.
So you want a two tiered society?
More testing?
No.
I think putting up nazi papers is not going to help things at all.
Thats your preference. Own it.
Put on your anti vaxx arm band like a good chap.
