Youâll be told your opinion whether you like it or not ok
You have not got a flying clue.
Your take seems to have been: âLockdowns are fierce inconvenient for me and therefore I donât like them. And maybe, sure, Sweden or something.â
You literally need to grow up and move on.
As of May 15, 2022, 95.7% of 18 year olds and older in Ireland were vaccinated. This remarkable statistic tells anyone with a tincture of wit, by inference, what would have happened if the government had not introduced restrictions in 2020.
What are you saying- that lickdowns coerced people or something?
The lads who said the most important matter was case numbers and not how sick it made you have remarkably forgotten they said that. It does make them look very foolish.

And I was perfectly correct. The phrase I coined was ârolling lockdownâ, which was perfectly accurate. Variants and.vaccines, as was perfectly anticipatable, eventually broke the rolling lockdowns (although the problem remains in diluted form).
Then again, not everyone is a thick easily impressed personality alibi merchant. I guess there is no way around being stupid and vulgar.
What forever amuses me is how certain lads have even my most fugitive opinions learned off like a multiplication table. Then again, those lads are too thick and too egotistical to see the light in which they put themself with such retention.
Enough of the higgle piggling⌠Tis very boring.
Thankfully, I will shortly be sitting in front of a pint in The Crown Bar.
Whatever about the drugs, the vaccines do work.
AgreedâŚthey seem to offer some protection, for a while. Old/vulnerable people should probably take them. Anyone pushing them on young people should be viewed with suspicion
I am a pragmatist. I had no particular wish to take the vaccine but I took it because doing so seemed best in context. My decision, same as 95% plus of Irish adults.
No one should be forced to do anything against their conscience, let alone to take a vaccine. People who did not take the vaccine needed to be accommodated. By the sane token, the right of other people not be take on risk needed to be accommodated⌠The tradeoff was that unvaccinated people could not do certain things. Not a great scenario, in my view, but an inevitable trade off.
You have your own take on the vaccines as a medical intervention, a take with which I strongly disagree. Which or whether, vaccination, as a political principle, only differs in degree from the smoking ban in public spaces. The principle is that different criteria apply in shared public spaces than in private spaces. Not that big a deal, in a way, as a political principle.
I never met anyone who goes to such lengths to hide being wrong via obfuscation, fiction and semi-articulate rambling. Reading your posts is like using one of @carryharryâs bale unwrappers to feed thistles to cattle. A load of noise, effort and expense, with no feeding value at the finish up.

Time for that pint.
You surely donât have to hibernate anymore if you have covid? Surely the vulnerable are vaccinated and weâve been told repeatedly that the vaccine saved us? Itâs all very puzzling. Covid is no more than a common cold now for 92.35% of the population and the rest have had the life saving vaccine⌠Get on with it ta fuck.

Iâm not familiar with the âfall inâ term,
If it means what I think then, Iâd probably end up producing Wagyu beef and rearing very rare breed pigs, the poor man would turn in his grave, best not to bother

Youâll sell up so?
Interesting article in the new york times about this during the week.
âBut it also means that, given the underlying age skew, vaccinated people in their late 80s have a similar risk of Covid death as never-vaccinated 70-year-oldsâ
â300 Americans are now dying from Covid-19 every day, at a rough pace of about 100,000 per year, making it the countryâs [third leading cause of death.â
âIn a pandemic of the unvaccinated, what do you say to or about the 41 percent of Americans who died in January whoâd gotten their shots? Or the roughly 60 percent of them that died this summerâ
