It will get busy with vaccines over the next decade when the next mild illness comes along and we need quarterly jabs for that as well

I was responding to a post that offered that as a solution
It didnāt really though
It was a āfor the time beingā thing that was suggested
Youāve got to trust that vaccines will improve and many other factors will come into play.
But for the moment how hard is it to roll up your sleeve and accept that itās all we can do as individuals.
We can whinge about it and watch the hospitals fill up I suppose 
Again, I have no problem with the vaccines, whether Iāve āgot to trustā anything from a company with the history of Pfizer, though, is another matter.
Iām perfectly happy for vaccines to be available, they work. The mandate does not. It serves no purpose. If vaccine mandates worked there would be no issue with two fully vaccinated people going for a pint

Your reasoning there is way off. The vaccines and subsequently the vaccine mandate worked for a time, almost everything was open and it was the closest to normal in two years. Now we know that vaccines wear off, so we need boosters and time limited vaccine passes to keep us at the same level we were at for the next while. It all seems pretty reasonable to me I donāt see any issue with it. Thereās also the new variant which we donāt know the impact of yet.
Thatās an incredibly stupid post.
The vaccine mandate worked for a time? Eh no it didnāt, bar the first wave of the virus - the spikes have been seasonal and we are back to square one after a mass rollout of the vaccine - it didnāt work.
Need boosters for what? A vaccine that generally does very little for 70% of adults who take it. You take it not out of need but you take it as a permission slip so you can get on a plane or go to a pub. Itās actually idiots like you who think a vaccine is a free pass to do as you please that means the virus is spread and cases rise.
Of course an idiot like you would deem it reasonable, you have had an absolute shocker of a pandemic and your selfishness laughably disguised under a veil of empathy has been exposed thoroughly throughout.
New variant? What kind of idiot is sitll falling for the nonsense of a new variant. They pulled the same trick last year you halfwit.

Would ye not go down to the pub for a few pints lads? Last chance
Heard off a publican,hospitality is getting pulled on the 21st.
Wouldnāt surprise me
The mandates really havenāt worked. I wish they had but they havenāt.
The fact is that we are still collectively scared of Covid case numbers. Anti vaxxers have put a disproportionate strain on hospitals and are still a problem but the intention was to cut down on infections.
The vaccinated thinking the vaccine stops them contracting and spreading Covid.

Iād say they will pull all indoor activities outside houses soon enough including non essential shopping. Probably from 26th
Why did they ban outdoor dining ?
Weāre back to where we were pre vaccination which has to erode confidence in the vaccine and take up of same. We wonāt get close to 95 per cent booster take up now.
A fair chance they didnāt even consider it, given yet again they were bounced into it 12 hours notice

They probably came to the conclusion Eating outdoors in December in Ireland was more dangerous than covid tbf.

Is this going to be the new rallying cry for justifying restrictions? Iām not targeting you as I know you are talking about boosters but itās been curious in the last couple of days that the usual suspects online who justified restrictions with a āsave the health service until vaccinesā have been a bit stumped about their new end game. Iām not sure if Varadkar was being cute or snakey (could be either with him) by saying we could have ābreaksā between restrictions after Omicron but it has certainly put a new spin on things. Thereās no real end game so itās time to admit that and the people impacted by that can finally play their cards. Is it all going to be about waiting for the āimprovedā vaccines to justify people not being able to workā¦.?
