Committee chairperson Kieran O’Donnell says he is not suggesting antigen tests replace PCR tests. He suggests antigen tests could be used within an hour before going on a plane. | Live updates: https://t.co/4OK6Ul3DqJ pic.twitter.com/NtZF0KjGmj

Dr Tony Holohan says a recent study, in which people were tested with both PCR and antigen, showed just 52% of positive cases were picked up by rapid antigen tests in asymptomatic people. | Live updates: https://t.co/4OK6Ul3DqJ pic.twitter.com/sBvfw8EkZ4

This morning/afternoon.
Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications Networks.
Citing various studies, Chief Medical Officer Tony Holohan said the use of rapid antigen testing, as a means to give people the “green light” to engage in certain activities, could pose several risks.
Meanwhile…
It doesn’t matter what @CMOIreland says.
The EU has considered 4 possible instances for travelling:
– if you had the virus
– PCR test
– Antigen Test
– vaccineHe just CANNOT oppose this!!!!

Meanwhile…
Given the establishment of another task force on Shannon and the failure to implement previous reports on aviation and on #antigen testing, I asked the Taoiseach who’s running the country and for whose benefit. pic.twitter.com/LFZyxQntpa

This afternoon.

Fight!
Holohan warns antigen tests ‘not a green light’ (RTÉ)
This:

– vaccine
Holohoop needs to go- end of.
Holohan only quotes studies when they fit his narrative. Why is he ignoring the peer reviewed papers on Ivermectin? Why is he ignoring the lack of ANY evidence that masks and lockdowns work? Why is he so insistent on pushing the more expensive PCR test over the antigen test? Why are the medical dictators now running the world determined to destroy societies, economies and condemn us all to permanent authoritarian restrictions and constant terror, over a disease that has a 1% fatality rate for the majority?
It is mind-boggling, isn’t it? It’d almost make you believe in some of these conspiracy (Great Reset) theories. However, using Occam’s Razor, where the simplest explanation tends to be the right one, I think we need look no further than basic human nature – in this case, “I’m the king of the castle” syndrome. It can happen even in highly educated, well dressed, well spoken, well paid, well established adults, who made one catastrophic mistake a year ago and want to save face and protect their position by continuing the illusion that they were right, are right, and can do no wrong. They need to be called to account, not only by politicians, but by alternative scientific experts. The inquiry can’t start soon enough.
Imagine been the 1%.
Imagine being able to spell.
imagine classes with less than thirty students, he might have had a chance
Keep dreaming, you might wake up some day.
Tom I wasn’t trying to offend you, apologies, as a poor speller myself I hate when people nitpick on spelling
Imagine trying not to offend someone and realising it was just a dream.
ah it’s yourself
Is it really me or is it another one of your dreams. Do I really exist or am I just like Covid 19.
Imagine if you were a real Dr.
‘Why is he ignoring the peer reviewed papers on Ivermectin?‘
What peer-reviewed papers on Ivermectin?
Great for Michilin to have a Clown Comhairle that aids question-dodging.
Oh ffs at this stage who gives a hoot. No-one is listening to them any more
Pure stubbornness and stupidity.
back last year, Holohan strongly advocated against mask wearing because “people would use them wrong” and “get a false sense of security”.
Sound familiar?
Michael McNamara saying that 10’s of millions of Euros are going to a certain lab every month for PCR testing.
And that the director of that lab sits on NPHET.
Is that legit?
That’s scandalous if true – how the hell could he be impartial if that’s the case?
Cllian de Gasgun?
UCD National Virus Reference Laboratory…
Did not know that.
10’s of millions eh?
That conflict of interest has been bouncing around for quite a while Mick.
But sure we’d need a committee, a sub committee, probably double figure reports and at least 4 takers of minutes at every meeting before we’d even consider investigating it.
Some joke eh?
Just saw this on Dublín City Today

Very timely
#PaddyLast
Quite a summation that video.
Yeah
When it’s laid out in full like that – over the last 15 months, it’s quite jaw dropping. :(
That’s a great video- thanks Micko.
while my smear test is going to take up to three months to get a result and I had to sign a waiver that I understood the results aren’t reliable anyway, fuppin joke
Is that not just a signature consenting to the examination? I didn’t have to sign any waiver.
CMO reports to government.
Governments chief fear is collapse of the Health system, but not the for the human cost that would mean, simply because they wouldn’t get reelected, or be forced out of office.
If they can get another lockdown out of this they sure will.
Easy to to govern. All other business suspended.
Mee-hole gets passed his handover date and couldn’t care less thereafter.
Expensive PCR tests deter travel, which could bring in (at speed, they’ll get in anyway) variants which could trigger a collapse of the health system.
And they’d loose their job.
Fob ’em off with some old guff about antigen tests then it’s off to the Mansion House later in the day to accept a ‘Freedom of the City of Dublin’ award from Dublin Lord Mayor Hazel Chu
Twisted irony in the extreme.

Exactly what kinda gobplops are we living amongst,
that would manipulate a antigen test,
to get a false positive,
So They Can Go On A Plane?
I heard one about a kid doing it so they didn’t have to go to school… obviously a threat to public health…
