Two sides of Holohan’s tenure on the Examiner then?

Ditto.

The Irish Examiner has it all – well done Holohan, yet again.
Sickening.
So many aspects of our health and legal systems have to change, we need due process through class action suits in Ireland, things have to change, otherwise psychopaths like Holohan will foster and survive forever without being questioned or held to account.
Shame on Holohan, shame on Reid, shame on HSE, FFG and academics and weedy spineless journalists et al., hang your heads in shame, incompetence and a curse on all your houses – if ye can afford one.
Such a rotten country we live in and it’s being facilitated every day by fools.
I took Gracie my dog for a long walk,sadly I stepped in dog poo,despite cleaning it,the smell just lingered……hung around…could not get rid it.
Ever have that feeling about someone,like they following you around kinda like a bad smell.

Six foot two grown man with the biggest balls in Ireland,who just smiles at the ‘help’,then asks for a table for 3,no,no I don’t why,,none,just my big balls and smile,supposedly eats out few times a week on that in Dublin.
Now I’ve been out every day in Dublin for lunch and dinner….and on my way breakfast,better bring my smile huh.
Go ahead big man with the biggest pair balls in Ireland have the last word,ah gwan.
Your post was incorrect wrong,rubbish,more lies as usual.

”at least four months after their third jab” … no big surprise I suppose considering the interval to the 3rd dose/1st booster, also if another nasty variant emerges they’ll quite possibly reduce the interval to 3 months, so we’re looking at 3 or 4 jabs a year until tablets come on stream or a more robust vaccine.
That said, at the pace they’re moving it could well be in place by 2023 so the 4 jab thing might just be for one year – awfully depressing though for people who reluctantly took the initial double dose thinking that would be it.
Johnny
….. Bennett says he hopes health officials will soon approve a fourth dose of the vaccine for relevant populations to protect against infection and serious disease.
Health Ministry official Dr. Sharon Alroy-Preis responds that the issue is under consideration, but that it’s a serious decision….
Why is it depressing? Why would people not do everything possible to mitigate the spread of this plague like illness? Are people really that stupid and or indifferent to the suffering of others?
Broadbag
The vaccines were sold as being a lot more effective and a lot more long lasting than they are proving to be, I’d imagine a lot of people are dispirited by the likelihood of needing 6+ doses rather than 2, it doesn’t make them ”stupid or indifferent to the suffering of others”, one thought doesn’t preclude the other. You can still be pro-vaccine and disappointed with the current vaccines simultaneously.
‘The vaccines were sold as being a lot more effective and a lot more long lasting than they are proving to be,’
There was always the provisio that variants could emerge, and along came Delta. Arguably we caught a break that it wasn’t more vaccine resistant than it is, not that it’s much consolation to the drudgery of the pandemic slog.

Can’t disagree with that Cian. But you can be sure that the pubs will up their prices with the tag ‘minimum alcohol pricing’. What’ll they use as an excuse for for their 280ml bottles of minerals surpassing €3 though?
Cian
Does any pub sell drink anywhere near the ‘minimum alcohol pricing’?
The minimum price for a pint of beer (4.3%) will be €1.93; How many pubs will have to raise their prices above €1.93?
If you’re paying over €3 for your mixer then you have nothing to worry about minimum prices
GiggidyGoo
Watch this space…or most pub spaces, because they’ll use any excuse.
Plus many people don’t use the 280ml minerals as mixers. They drink it without alcohol. Making it a more expensive drink than a pint of beer for the same quantity and. ( Maybe that’s a reason why people drink beer rather than soft drinks in a pub even. )

South African omicron study released – still quite tentative in many ways, and ICU/morbidity data not yet available: https://twitter.com/danielgoyal/status/1473482159415517191
Summary:
‘Omicron seems to cause significantly less severe disease than recent waves in South Africa, but not less severe disease than Delta is currently in the UK. And, almost certainly, vaccines seem to remain remarkably protective over severe disease….
Good news = vaccines work.
No news = Unmitigated Covid-19 will cause problems.’
SOQ
IT amuses me how some people will tie themselves in mental knots to claim credit for vaccines when the thing behaves exactly the same irrespective of vaccination rates.
Nigel
‘the thing behaves exactly the same’
That’s some quality analysis right there.
SOQ
It affects the upper respiratory tract only, in the same way as a cold- that much is well accepted. A few may develop complications- same as a cold. Most get over it pretty quickly- SAME AS A COLD.
Nigel
Five and a half million people have died of it, and many many more experienced severe illness and many of those will suffer long term effects LIKE A COLD.
Chris
“God knows where he’d be now without three jabs.” – ‘That means its working!’ etc The memes are real. Unfortunately, I doubt some will ever put two & two together.
SOQ
So strains don’t matter any more is it? No huge increase in hospitalisations or deaths in South Africa and no extra restrictions either. All evidence so far suggests that the Omicron strain is mild- like a cold.
As for being jabbed and getting very sick- time will tell as to what the real story is there because if the vaccines work as promised then that just doesn’t make sense.
Nigel
‘All evidence so far suggests that the Omicron strain is mild- like a cold.’
Except the data for ICU/morbidity isn’t available, so you only ‘know’ that in the sense that you decided it was the truth as soon as it emerged. ‘As severe as the Delta in the UK ‘ is hardly all that mild.
You declared Covid no worse than the flue back when this started. five and a half million covid dead later, you’re still trustng your own expertise on the matter.
GiggidyGoo
When you rely on a link to a report which, in the first sentence of your quotation uses the phrase ‘seems to’ and goes on from there, your understanding of the word ‘analysis’ leaves a lot to be desired.
Nigel
When your entire assessment of an analysis of an early report of an ongoing epedemilogical event fraught with uncertainty event is shaped by two words which express nothing more than the lack of definitive conclusions so far, you’re not really fit to judge.
I’m really sorry it can’t quite match your stunning insight about what word you get if you mix the letters around.

For anyone assuming that getting jabbed would give them freedom- dream on. Passes set to expire after 9 months. A wild lot of long term planning going on for a virus which is shaping up to become endemic in the next season? Assuming it has not already of course.
Yes, that fits with my understanding, though I’m strugglling to relate it to your use of the word. ‘Long term planning’ is literally part of making a disease endemic.

Is it a competition or do you generally follow the news from over there ?

Ah now it’s not even approved,jaysus.

Ha! It’s on RTE ya absolute melon.
And yes, I’m sure they won’t go ahead with it.
Oh My God Micko you get your ‘news’ from RTE-i forgot your generation relies on it.
Unless you’re 19, we’re the same generation ya dope.
Now try again
Dope.

Stay classy Mucko-anything good on RTE today :)
RTE….better than most your ‘sources’ in fairness,but still ah cmon it’s funny,it is.
Did I hurt your wee feelings?

Not at all I think your hysterical.
In so many ways.

Keep us updated on RTE news,I tend not keep up with it.

Looks a lil hard to take up that ‘offer’ Micko,Jesus Mary and Joseph with the hysterics.
Why have one potent jab where four will kind of maybe give you protection.
Why is it depressing? Why would people not do everything possible to mitigate the spread of this plague like illness? Are people really that stupid and or indifferent to the suffering of others?

You can still be pro-vaccine and disappointed with the current vaccines simultaneously.
Sold to who exactly on that basis? Only a dumb fupp would have thought they would get immunity with a vaccine
What risk? Spell them out for us there
Who mentioned immunity?
