Wednesday.
Verona Murphy’s assertion that vaccinated and unvaccinated share the same risk of spreading the rona has come under scrutiny from The Journal‘s fact checkers.
To wit:
Right.
Cleared that up.
Wednesday: Reckless People
Thanks KN
Meanwhile…
I’ll correct you : the journal has consistently published your press releases.
That fact check is an embarrassment for anyone with a functioning brain.
Vaccinated also transmit, *likely*indicates probability.
Also you’re a minister & you are behaving like a crèche child.

She dun de resurch!
You clearly didn’t https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8481107/
Needs more horse paste.
The Journal? Ha ha- as factcheckers go, they’d make good hairdressers.
I always envisioned you as a hairdresser…no idea why ;)
That would be you projecting your internalised homophobia.
The rougher the estate, the camper the gays.
Your background is?
Are you missing Moyross on a glorious winter evening?
Fluffy has homophobia?
Good grief.
GAAAAY FIGHT!!!!

Sorry, I could’t resist that lads ;)
Crossmaglen actually.
Nah just manbags
Nothing to see here really
She’s said nothing about being briefed by Interpol, MI5 and the UK Border Force about the dangers of unvaccinated hordes swarming onto Wexford bridge, wheezing and spluttering and coughing all over people. Maybe she’s out of the loop these days.
Mostly false = Partially true.
Words are funny… depending on how you frame them.
The real question is why did Donnelly accuse her of spreading ‘anti-vax information’ in the Dáil
The Journal fact-checking is quite annoying, gave up reading it, they come out with their judgment, and when you read it your none wise if they are correct or not.
One of the key problems with this whole thing is standards in journalism were in the toilet before it started and most of the media outlets appeared incapable of carrying basic journalism and instead have been writing opinion pieces and cherry-picking what information is presented.
The Journal Fact Checking? Is this a wind-up? How about running a fact check on the comments – when they’re still allowed. Not that those comments are a source of disinformation or anything…
Person says something obviously incorrect (also, said in an ambigious manner to score political points… Verona “I’m on both sides of the fence” Murphy is a master at this), people correct them, comments section kicks in to say why the correction is wrong… the future is bright…
What she said isn’t incorrect, the most comprehensive study taking in 68 countries proves her right:

Why do you persist in lying?
Aren’t fact checkers such a charm.
Verona is mostly right. A simple logic test proves this. At 90+% vaxx rate the R0 is still > 1.
If the vaxx stopped transmission the virus would have pettered out by now.
Waterford anyone ?
They found that the Facebook fact checkers on Covid topics received funding from none other than the Big Pharma companies. The fox guarding the henhouse, as they say. The Journal comment section is filled with Covid Karen’s and Stephen McDermott appears to be the Journal’s chief Covid propagandist. A trick they often play is to “debunk” a claim that sounds similar to an actual claim being made but that is actually different. Often they find an obscure tweet of that claim. When a reader then comes across the actual claim they mistakenly believe, oh, I heard about that one, and saw it debunked. They set up strawmen and knock them down.

This one is less far-fetched than most of what comes out of VM’s mouth… otherwise knows as an FG sleeper agent…
It is amusing that a site that featured completely false energy cost statistics yesterday is insulting another site’s fact checking. Broadsheet does not check facts.
The facts are self evident.

How dare you suggest this site disseminates unchecked ‘facts’!
Bodger’s journalism is rigorous and unblemished. Like how he says Biden stole Trumps presidency, the moon landing was faked, vaccines gave Bob Odenkirk a heart attack, nothing can stop the Kraken storm that is Qoming, Alec Baldwin shot that woman because anger issues and many more…
Pulitzer Prize stuff
They won’t be getting the Pfizer Prize anyway.
Obviously the moon landing was fake..!!!
Internalised apparently…
I’m off to scream in excitement over a new ABBA album
Did you see my vice article link earlier?
Wouldn’t worry about it Hun’
That SOQ has never gotten anything right
Not about me
And now you
Chat later
All gays have internalised homophobia- it is just a question of how much.
If you don’t recognise it within yourself, then how will you check anything other than the overt in others?
Ah de Gays a great bunch of lads
Apart from Leo and his crew- a cross between Thatcher and Hitler.
Ah now they got stuff done in fairness
lol you would have loved Hitler. If you were around back then (and the internet existed) I can literally imagine your comments.
The Journal has a brass neck setting itself up as some kind of arbiter of truth. It’s been driving down standards for years along with its selective reporting and plain old censorship.
It could have been a good alternative to traditional media but instead it’s just a nursery for most of its journalists hoping to get a gig at a bigger organisation and are willing to toe any line to do so.
I suppose these middle class Arts graduates need to work somewhere. If it’s not an NGO it will have to be churning out low grade half-truths on the Journal.
If you don’t like it what the fuc* are you doing here. Bloody trools infecting everything online.
