    Daily Star scare headline about an invasion of jackals. Better re-read Frederick Forsyth’s novel The Day of the Jackal to see how we can outwit this wild animal menace.

        Yeah, and those paddle boards and waterskis Patel wants patrolling the channel are no protection from a jackal.. they just bite their way through and swim on..

    Clip of Dr Angelique Coetzee, chairwoman of the South African Medical Association, speaking earlier today about the Omicron variant on the UK’s LBC station:

    “After 4 weeks(of observing Omicron cases), there’s no reason why you can’t trust us when we say to you: this is mild disease. We’re not saying there won’t be sick patients; we’re saying the majority is mild. There’s no need to hospitalise any of these mild cases. There’s really no need. And these cases recover within about 5 days. Whether you’re a child. Whether you are 80 years of age. Whether you have been vaccinated. Whether you have not been vaccinated. Whether you have suffered from other mild diseases, other co-morbidities, this is what we see. This is the real life. This is the real experience.”

        Omicron spreads faster and weakens jabs, says WHO

        The World Health Organisation has said that early evidence suggests Omicron causes “a reduction in vaccine efficacy against infection and transmission”.

          But is, generally, harmless and poses no threat of death to healthy human beings.

          I’ll be waiting a while for that citation.

      Did you even check what his actual condition was?

      There are plenty of people who use gyms for medical, and especially physiotherapy reasons- the fact that this man has written to Donnelly means he probably has legitimate cause.

      Doctors are advising people not to risk CoVid-19 vaccines because of under lying health conditions and they would be failing in their duty if they did not do so.

      Listening to Kenny pontificating to that man, it really exposes him as the pompous, over-privileged buffoon we know he is . He’s completely detached from the negative repercussions he’s causing in the lives of the ordinary people who he chooses to demonise on his poisonous radio show.

      A couple of examples of his idiocy which stood out for me:

      “There’s two year old kids in masks in Bermuda. Not a bother on them”!
      __________

      -“You put me in harms way, right-”
      -“But you’re vaccinated”
      -“What?”
      -“You’re vaccinated!”
      -“..Yeah..but ..(*adopts full radio voice mode*) we know the Omicron is probably twice as big a spreader as Delta..” blah blah

      He just proved Pat right, some crazy person coming up to him and recording him with his phone in a threatening manner.

      1. SOQ

        Was he going to hit him with the phone or something?

        Kenny was called to account by someone who took offence at his hate speech. If he is not prepared to be challenged on such rubbish then maybe he should stay indoors.

        1. Tom J

          I take offence at most of the bull poo you post, but I’m not going to go looking for you and approach you in the street, only crazy people and thugs do that.

          1. SOQ

            He got challenged on it- if he’s going to be spreading hate then he should be prepared to receive some too.

    Luke O Neill informs us that his antigen test showed positive “within seconds” https://www.independent.ie/world-news/coronavirus/professor-luke-oneill-hails-power-of-antigen-testing-as-he-tests-positive-for-covid-41144845.html.

    Sure isn’t he great? Everyone else is instructed, by the HSE as regards antigen tests, “ Wait for the recommended time on the instructions leaflet – usually in 15 minutes.” Lukie boy’s test showed in 2 seconds. Woweee

    The HSE must have send him out a super duper faster test.

    Is there a test for Walter Mittyness?
