Going by current HSE advice I think you are safe enough but Iām far from an expert. Iād say if recently recovered delta cases were contracting omicron, Clare Byrne would be having multiple orgasms on live television.
I genuinely think the fear has gone out of it, the unvaccinated are an issue obviously.
But Iām going to Cork for a few nights tomorrow, will be meeting quite elderly uncles and aunts etc, I have no fear for them now, theyāre all vaccinated and boostered etc, as far as I know their health is OK, the omicron seems to have altered things significantly in that respect.
But in saying that, remaining unvaccinated is irresponsible and 100% counter productive if you whinge about any restrictions,
What I really picked up from @Cheasty 's retweet is what a limited internetter heās become. āSick unvaccinated people in hospital regret not getting vaccinatedā - hardly an original take and itās been done 1000X better.
@Cheasty you need to stop wasting your life on twitter and get onto the r/hermancainaward sub-reddit. Every day you get to laugh at new anti-vaxx fat US republicans dying horrifically, regretting it all. I eventually stopped reading when they started laughing at the unvaxxed pregnant women dying. @briantinnion thatās proper internetting.
What the fuck serious doctor is on twitter anyway?
If there was a three second vaccine that obliterated all symptoms of unhealthy eating or alcohol addiction or smoking addiction, you might have a point.
Until then, you donāt.
Deliberately confusing complex, life long issues of unhealthiness and/or addiction with a simple choice as to whether to get a safe, effective vaccine which is highly likely to prevent serious ill health is a very, very stupid āpointā indeed.
Fluvio posts on Reddit as well? Heās some man for the internets.
You need to be off your rocker taking any more vaccines that donāt even work properly.
The same fellas whoāll demand the vaccine are guaranteed to:
Vote ff/Fg no matter what.
Curl up in a ball at the idea of Sinn Fein being in power.
Will defend nphet/Tony Hoolahan all day every day.
Defend rte/Claire byrne at all costs.
Get shivers down their spine when they see John McGuirk call out double standards.
Will always do what they are told and never question anything no matter what.
Fellas need to grow a pair and this nonsense will be over.
Weāll have a few weeks now of high numbers and chastising from Tony Holohan but weāll be back down to earth at the end of the month and that should be itā¦
Weāll have to have a discussion about possibly executing the unvaxxed as traitors to the country and rewarding the vaxxed but the celebrations on March 17 will be off the chain.
With the more infectious but milder Omicron variant the original rationale for vaccine passes has probably diminished a bit. However, while itās not 100% accurate, itās a good rule of thumb for identifying members of the awkward squad, contrarians and morons. As such I think it is still a useful tool as it is an effective way of identifying these people and the requirement should be kept in place to keep them locked out of society.
How are the hospitals going to manage if omicron is so transmissible? Infection control has been poor up to now, youād imagine itās going to fall apart completely over the next few weeks.
