Taoiseach Micheál Martin and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet at COP26 yesterday

This afternoon.

Via RTÉ News:

As of 8am, there were 493 people in hospital with the virus, down 22 on the same time yesterday.

Of these, 90 were in intensive care units, down one from yesterday.

Mr Martin said the use of antigen testing is increasing and if people “collectively remain cautious we can avoid the need to have a backward return to restrictions”.

The Health Service Executive said it has issued by post 6,976 antigen test kits to people who are close contacts of a confirmed case.

Mr Martin also said he spoken to Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet at the COP26 summit in Glasgow, who told him that Israel’s booster campaign had been “very successful and impactful” on the latest wave of the virus there.

Mr Martin said that “no one can guarantee anything”, but the vaccines work and Ireland was in a different position to last year.

    …“very successful and impactful” on the latest wave of the virus there.

    Which why they are now planning a FORTH shot. Then again- “Well the efficacy nose dives after about a couple of months so we have to keep pumping it into people” doesn’t really have the same ring to it I suppose.

    Most days the hospitals are discharging about 50 people a day (except weekends of course)

    And today is no different according to the Covid Hub

    **HEARSAY TRIGGERING ALERT**

    I’ve heard from a nurse friend that SOME of the folks that she sees in hospital are people who have a bad Covid induced chest infection, and then work themselves into such a state that they are going to be ventilated and / or die that they end up in hospital and that a little bit of oxygen and a medical professional saying they’ll be ok, calms them right down and they are discharged a little while later / next day.

    **THIS ENDS THE HEARSAY ALERT**

    Hope none of you were triggered…

      Just to give Chris’s link there the weight that it deserves, the BMJ have found some very dodgy practices in Pfizer’s vaccine program.

      “Our latest investigation hears from a whistleblower engaged in Pfizer’s pivotal covid-19 vaccine trial. Her evidence raises serious questions about data integrity and regulatory oversight”

      Ok so…

    WTF this has been widely debunked and discredited.

    where do you find these kooks.

    “Lt. Col. Theresa M. Long, who serves as the brigade surgeon for the Army’s 1st Aviation Brigade, falsely wrote in an affidavit last week that the Pfizer vaccine is made of antifreeze. ”

    how dumb is she….yeah this dumb.

    -“I cannot discern what form of alchemy Pfizer and the FDA have discovered that would make antifreeze into a healthful cure to the human body,” Long wrote.

    (vaccines do not contain antifreeze. Long, like many vaccine skeptics and users on social media, claim the vaccines contain polyethylene glycol that it is an active ingredient in antifreeze)
