Last night.

Claire Byrne Live on RTÉ One.

Singer Brian Kennedy ‘takes’ a rona swab test live to demonstrate how simple the procedure is.

His test was later shown to be covid negative.

Result.

Watch back here

Meanwhile….

Good times.

    Why o why do we need to pay for these celebrity gobsheens to be on our TV? Could they not have picked somebody who isn’t already loaded off the back of TV licence payers money, and thrown them a few Bob to get a swab up their nose.

    People calling it ‘rona’ is very irritating. Like the school priest trying to sound cool with the kids. So hip!

    Getting blatant now.

    Robert Quirke, CEO of the shady ROQU Group, is here on national TV to push these digital “health passports” as the “solution” we’ve been waiting for despite him having no medical qualifications..According to Quirke this solution “can be extended out into the wider regions of society”, from hospitals and air travel to being allowed “to go to work or go to an event” once the proposed system has designated you as “lower risk”.

    The public health of the nation is being weaponised in order to usher us into a new era of surveillance capitalism as envisaged by the Davos billionaire group. A cornerstone to this is that every citizen will require their own blockchain digital profile. Today the focus is on health but as time passes it will be increasingly extended out to different aspects of our lives

      Yeah that can all be knocked on the head with anti body tests.

      Just been speaking to a friend who is a medic and he said he won’t be taking a vaccine because he has already tested positive for anti-bodies. He was completely asymptomatic, as around 80% of infected are, so why would they ever need a vaccine?

      1. E'Matty

        They don’t necessarily “need” a vaccine but the vaccine is to be the platform for the roll out of a global digital biometric identity for every person in the world. If we look at the GAVI and Mastercard “Wellness Pass”, the GAVI website states “Under the banner of “efficiently delivering vaccines to millions of children, tracking identity and immunisation records in a digitised manner and incentivising the delivery of vaccines,” Gavi the Vaccine Alliance – leading partner and catalyst, and Mastercard acting in the capacity of technology partner – have embarked on a Public Private Partnership aiming to deploy the Mastercard Wellness Pass for interested Gavi eligible countries on December 2018.” It continues “This partnership aims to leverage state of the art technology by bringing the Smart into traditional immunisation programs for optimal impact in terms of reach, adherence, efficiency and centralised record keeping of childhood immunisation”

        This aligns with the ID2020 project https://id2020.org/ involving the same players

        So we have plans to roll out biometric digital IDs to people using vaccine adminstration as the platform for delivery resulting in centralised record keeping, all publicly announced two years before the Covid hysteria arrived on our shores. Microsoft’s recent patent for a human-powered crypto mining system based on sensors that convert physical or mental activity into computer power has generated a lot of interest in this area too. Sensors will be attached to an individual’s body to “collect” energy from their physical or mental exertions. As a result, “a user can solve the computationally difficult problem unconsciously,” the patent application stated. So, a centralised database storing every persons biometric identitiy could be linked into a centralised system linked to your physical and mental activity. Should be grand, nothing to worry about here…

        @SOQ

        You’d think so, but have the government and heath officials shown much signs of taking a logical, proportionate approach to the pandemic of late (or at all)?

        Supposed voice of reason, Cillian De Gascun:

        Byrne: “Would you take a vaccine that had been 10 months in development from start to finish?”
        De Gascun: (Smiles)”Of course I would, yeah”
        Byrne: “Would you?”
        De Gascun: “yeah-well, sorry, I’ll look at the data and see if it’s safe!”
        Byrne: “But it normally takes years. All those tests..looking at long-term outcomes..giivng people re-assurance. That takes a long time”
        De Gascun: “Yeah it does. And that’s where the achievement is in all of this – that fact that we have all this in 10 months…”         (hmmm really?)

        De Gascun: Would I rather have a vaccine that is demonstrably effective and safe – in so far as we can be sure at this point in time – or would I take risk of getting SARS-Cov-2? I’d certainly go for the vaccine”

        Meanwhile, Dr Michael Yeadon, one of Pfizer’s top scientists for several years writes yesterday:

        “Pleased if vaccine offered to most vulnerable, subject to informed consent. No one else need consider it, the virus presenting a lower risk to them than flu. In my assessment, a narrow majority already possess natural immunity, which is why real covid19 deaths approaching zero.”

      One might ask how Mr Quirke ever got the job of Vice President of Technology for IDA Ireland when his only qualifications were a Griffith College Comp Science Degree and a Daddy’s Business School diploma in Internet Marketing.

      1. Micko

        As was pointed out in Twitter last night, yer man Quirke reminds me of the Monorail salesman from The Simpsons

        He’ll be selling snake oil next :)

      A mask of course.

      I wear a mask when not watching her and have no problems at all. Simple as that really.

    I wonder what super powers the vaccine will give me?

    Hopefully something useful like flight or perhaps the ability to teleport would be nice? Zap to a secluded beach somewhere in the Southern hemisphere with a fold out chair for a few hours and then back home for a nice cup of tea.

    Knowing me though it will probably be something poo like the ability to understand End User Licence Agreements on software installations.
