    If #Covid19 is now ‘predominantly a disease of young unvaccinated adults’.
    And it poses close to zero risk for healthy unvaccinated adults –
    Thus and therefore: it’s all over. Hurrah

    The war is won! well done everyone!!

      We were always at war with the virus, I mean climate, no it’s the virus – today at least. Corporate Capture.

      Dead on lads,

      47,282 Covid infections in Ireland currently.

      55 in ICU.

      That’s 0.16%

      The emergency is clearly over if we’re talking about a disease that puts 0.1% into the ICU. (And 0.6% into hospital)

      And these muppets are talking about restrictions until next year?

      Jesus we need to cop on.

        I came across some definitions of ‘totalitarianism’ and it’s hard not to see comparisons with what’s happening all over the world. not least the totalitarian reaction to individuals who speak against or question the ever changing ‘rules’ of the regime. they are rounded on because the regime is right and the ‘rules’ cannot be questioned.
        it’s mass control lads make no mistakes.

          many Irish people are so utterly mindless and stupid they actually view their unquestioning obedience to authority as a virtue. Those who question authority in any way are the problem in their eyes. It’s like the upside down of how to have a healthy liberal and progressive democracy. I mean, who are these people to question voices of authority such as the Big Pharma and Bill Gates funded WHO? Or the unelected civil servant ruled NPHET? Who do these people think they are referring to advice and opinions from experts who have not been government approved? How can they believe in information the government says is false? This is the mindset of the fanatical Covidian.

          These voice of authority following imbeciles are the epitome of the mob, whipped into an hysterical frenzy of fear induced by repetitive fearmongering from media and official sources presenting a false narrative of an existential threat.

    ”The most vulnerable population at the moment…are the ones who received three vaccine doses but not the fourth…they walk around feeling like they are protected because they received the three doses…must quickly get vaccinated with THE fourth VACCINE DOSE…”

    I can see it coming

    Can’t wait for the doublethink cohort’s to defend this. Anything to avoid the cognitive dissonance, The longer you leave it, the more it will hurt.

    If the median age of those in the ICUs is 55 [1] as of yesterday then how is it a disease predominantly effecting young adults? That would suggest its predominately a disease effecting middle aged adults surely…

    [1]https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-40365128.html

    That probably wouldn’t fit the narrative though, given 98% of people over 50 are fully vaccinated…

      1. Zaccone

        If half the cases are people under 55 and half are over 55 its very obviously statistically not “predominantly young adults”. With a median age of 55 very few ICU patients are people in their teens/early 20s.

        For “predominantly young adults” to be statistically accurate it would require a median age rather lower, say one of 25.

        1. Oro

          I think you’re looking at the wrong group for the median age part. The ‘disease’ group is anyone suffering symptoms not people requiring hospitalization (Altho obviously would include them). So presumably the people that are suffering symptoms are of a younger median age.

          1. Oro

            I don’t think you really know what that word means. In fact, throwing vague suggestive statements at people (like you’re doing now) in order to invalidate their point is more akin to gaslighting than what I was doing, which was engaging with some of the points the other commenter made.

            Unless you start to engage with what is being written I’ll not be bothering to reply to you from here on out no offense.

          2. Slave to the Rhythm

            One of the worst commenters ever on the site IMHO Oro, twice as boring and repetitive as ABM, three times more annoying than the Kiwi one whose name I don’t remember, and the other jackass who signed back in for a while as ‘An Accountant’ and four times worse than Charger or Memes…and they were bad..
            How do you like them stats?
            I can provide an independent link as well if you want..

          3. Oro

            That’s a PTSD inducing comment if I ever saw one haha (in full agreement of course). Altho I must admit I don’t remember the kiwi to begin with, yet alone the name they used!

          4. Man On Fire

            @ Oro,

            Of course you’re in agreement, your need for ally gaslighters is palpable.

            As for the slave, I wouldn’t bother wasting my time.

            Give my best to boxy, would you..

            ROFL

            People suffering mild symptoms are essentially irrelevant though. It doesn’t matter how many people have a mild cough. They’re not effected by the disease.

            The only cases that matter are the ones requiring hospitalization, and particularly ICU usage – because thats where the bottleneck in our healthcare system is. And because they’re the ones that result in death/serious illness. ie these are the cases where people are actually effected by the disease.

          6. Oro

            No sure, but when you’re talking about patients with ‘covid 19 disease’ that is determined by someone suffering symptoms, no matter how mild. So that is the group that is being referred to.

          7. Slave to the Rhythm

            You needn’t bother MOF, I sort of feel a little bit guilty taking potshots at you like that, as you are such an easy target. but sure look, if you get some kind of thrill or gratification or whatever out of doing what you’re doing here, then what harm, without the outlet the internet gives you you seem like the sort who would be crying into the bottom of a pint glass in a dingy pub in Cricklewood in more distant times … so your bedsit analogy is apposite – for yourself – lads like you do project a lot though

            @ Slave to the Rythym/ Oro: how is Don Pigeoni? Still in lockdown? Those animal cages in lab-rat-tories aren’t good for a person’s health.

            Mind yourself.

            P.S. Don’t mention the Bird Influenzaaaaaaa!

      ICU isn’t the only criteria.

      The median age for a case over the last 14 days is 25.
      12,500 people under 25 have had a positive test in the last fortnight.
      Half of the positives cases were aged between 13 and 34.

      And 69% of the people that had a positive tests were showing symptoms at the time of the test. (17% no symptoms, 14% unknown)…. note: Symptom status is recorded at the time of test and is not updated, therefore a proportion of the asymptomatic cases may subsequently develop symptoms however this will not be captured in the data.

      So, yeah, it is predominantly affecting the young.

      #Covid19 is now ‘predominantly a disease of young unvaccinated adults’ Professor Philip Nolan, Chair of the NPHET Irish Epidemiological Modelling Advisory Group, says.

      Does he mean CoVid-19- meaning symptomatic as diagnosed by a doctor or just SARS- Cov-2 PCR positive infections? Surely someone in his position would not be mixing up the two- that would be negligence of the highest order.

      Why is someone who is a modeller making such statements in the first place?

    1. Chris

      Shh, you’ve got to ease them out of the narrative – not go full “luck, it’s the ……..”
