Weâre at 89.2% vaccine uptake among adults.
This muppet still getting his appraise fees;
_Covid-19 vaccination for third-level students should be mandatory, Trinity College Assistant Professor at the School of Biochemistry and Immunology TomĂĄs Ryan has said.
Speaking on RTĂâs Drivetime, he said: âYouâre bringing large numbers of people together and you want to be assured that thereâs no risk of this creating a spreader event that will produce risks to the community, risks to staff, indeed risks to vulnerable students.â
Third-level campuses have been far emptier over the past 18 months due to Covid-19 restrictions, but institutions have been planning for a safe return to on-site learning in September.
However, Dr Ryan said itâs much more secure if everyone, except for those who canât for medical reasons, are vaccinated.
He said the simplest way would be to make vaccination mandatory for access to a university, in general.
âWeâre entering into a very uncertain winter period, particularly in this country, the cases are very high and theyâre going to get higher,â he said. âWeâre going to be seeing, I think, that vaccines alone as a strategy is not going to be as effective as we think it is, until we get cases low.â_
When are they going to release any kind of plan as to when life returns to normal? Arenât we near enough as many vaccinated as weâre going to get at this stage?

I ended up in fibbers. Not really match day regular but the door was open and they gave me pint bottles
Thereâs a new controversy brewing about the efficacy of vaccines and how long vaccine immunity lasts. Some of the experts I regard as the most reliable are now claiming that efficacy against Covid illness has dropped from 95% to 50-60% in populations that were vaccinated early, like Israel and the elderly in the US and UK. If thatâs true, that means one out of every two vaccinated people who get exposed to the virus get sick.

You mean Topol? Heâs getting widely criticised for that tweetâŚ
Itâs becoming increasingly hard to find two Covid experts that agree on much. Topol is strongly pro vaccine and has been on the ball with most of his analysis. Itâs scandalous that there isnât better reporting on this, the CDC arenât even reporting cases among the vaccinated unless they are hospitalized. While simultaneously saying the vaccinated need to wear masks as if they are infected they are as likely to spread the virus.
Sure anyone could work this out by spending a little time on tfk
