every country in the world is hailing yesterday as a great day, but no, not Cardinal Holohan, Captain doom wonât have it of course
The vaccine doesnât need to work that well. Just needs enough of a placebo effect to overcome the hysteria.
Claire Byrne discussing Long Covid next on Radio 1. Pat Kenny âwill you take the vaccineâ
The Irish media wonât let this go easily.
We were raised on stories and tales of misery and misfortune. Our media are hardly likely to let us have something to look forward to.
The top story is on RTĂ now is about 20% of Covid cases suffering from a psychiatric disorder like anxiety or depression 1 month afterwards.
Itâs no wonder when these doom merchants have told people want a fatal killer this is and that even if you survive you might have the dreaded Long Covid.
The media have been a pox on this.
Youâll never be the same again after the covid
Taking this from the Telegraph front page that Dowdy posted.
How many vaccines would the 26 counties need to cover the list?
1-6 is maybe 500k? Total guess.
20% of the population is over 65 i believe. so 500k plus Vat
There are 700k people aged over 65 anyway for a start. With essential workers etc you are looking at not far off a million Iâd say
So thatâs 1 million or so.
RTE have fuck all left to cover bar COVID.
By my rough maths, and assuming itâs shared equally, the EU would need to get 100m vaccines for us to get 1m.
Reported to have signed a contract for 300m doses. Not sure on timeframe and probably a double dose needed.
Presumably we could vaccinate 500,000 people within a month.
Youâd be talking March earliest Iâd say
Can we wait for rugby football to die before rolling out the vaccine?
This is all wrong. They should just be vaccinating all the fat people first. Iâd expect that a fat bastard aged 45 is far more at risk than a healthy active 55 year old.
Also kids with leukaemia should be getting it nearly before anyone.
Edit: I assume also that teachers should be first in line, given that theyâre frontline workers.
Cheltenham racegoers should be prioritised
Why do you hate old people?
