Are ye fucking retarded?
At best theyâre just a sort of gimmick to fob off simpletons, at worst theyâre a form of subjugation. In between theyâre a cynical money making scam by your political masters. Theyâre as much use to the flu as a barbed wire fence is to mosquitoes.
Youâd think youâd want to know that before putting one on a child.
All they are is a way to mitigate risk. For the common good. Such a shame John Bull and his gammon hoards canât be told.
Masks are the greatest cod of 2020.
The mRNA vaccines are the 2021 version.
Both will end up being immaterial in terms of a return to normal, maori mikes of this world etc will have the last laugh
They mitigate nothing, as luke and co know. A lot of kids will be cowed by them, just as their parents were cowedâŚbut a lot of kids will also know that their parents canât be relied upon
As far as I know secondary school students wear them at all times indoors. Primary school donât wear them at all
Itâs nuts when you think about it.

Have they actually given a reason why weâre a few days behind everyone else?
The Germans started yesterday. The Italians, French and Spanish today.

Israel, Germany, the UK and US have great experience in shooting indiscriminately so we shouldnât really compare oursleves to them.

If Donnelly, Holohan and Reid are being honest and we now have a twin track approach to the virus they are admitting one track, lockdowns, have an immediacy and the number of lives they save are precious. âŹ1.5bn borrowing to close half of society for 6 weeks, not a bother.
On the other hand the vaccine is different and the lives it is going to save can wait. What Reid is saying is every second counts with lockdowns and the extraordinary social, economic and psychological cost associated doesnât matter but a bit of over time for the vaccine rollout is too big a hurdle.
Months to get this sorted but they arenât organised with our healthcare heroes on leave. The people who catch it now and later expire were expendable. We lockdown to save the health service, we donât administer the vaccine asap as we wonât cancel leave.
Anyway itâs all our fault for not eating Christmas dinner in our bedrooms and not putting grandad beside the window.

Weâre finally looking likely to hit ( McConkey ejaculation level ) the 2000 cases a day by New Years.
Its mind boggling incompetence
Apparently people in the health service canât be excepted to work st Stephens day or New Yearâs Eve in Ireland.
