Thatâs a completely unqualifble statement. Obese people have been a huge issue as they are one of the demographs who are are at risk of severe illness from Covid.
Itâs clear as day you donât have the slightest idea what youâre on about but have no problem spreading your bigotry and discriminatory views.
The main issue is the foreigners, mainly the Eastern Europeans. Theyâve been skirting around saying it up to now but I notice theyâve been far more revealing on it over the past couple of weeks.
Iâve eaten manys a âdinnerâ in auld bachelor farmers houses after hay/silage season,it would take some lad with Ebola to bother me at this stage.
Oh look, the class Fluvio tactic of saying that simple facts are lies and shouting it over and over again until you nearly believe it yourself. You just have to add in some unrelated whataboutery now.
The vaccination rates amongst the various populations are mirroring the vaccination rates in their home country, so itâs not so much that they arenât getting the message, they are just reacting in a similar manner to the rest of the people of their nationality.

Thatâs definitely not the rationale in most peopleâs heads the average older person on the street definitely thinks they are a bigger danger to others. You even said it yourself earlier when asking batigol if his parents would like to sit beside a vaccinated person. It actually makes negligible difference to them.
It goes back to a huge element of the Irish response to this which is both a positive and a negative. Itâs hugely based on emotion and there is no real debate on the rights and wrongs of certain restrictions etc. Itâs why they can introduce the most recent arbitrary rules on hospitality with no science or evidence behind them and still have massive public support. Even the masks on small kids thing. There is surely evidence based on masked and unmasked secondary school populations they could use but they donât even need to everyone just rows in regardless.
No transparency either around cases, hospitalisations, deaths in terms of age where they caught it etc.
This has worked great so far to keep the vast bulk of us pulling together but the opposition is growing.
