This morning.

You think it’s all over?

Via The Irish Times:

With 95 per cent of adults in Ireland having received two Covid-19 vaccine doses, and more than two-thirds having had a booster, the flow of people passing through the country’s vaccination centres has slowed to a trickle. A system that had built up enough capacity to provide more than 500,000 jabs in one week in December is now called on to administer just a few thousand every week.

The success of that programme, which gave Ireland one of the world’s highest vaccination rates, has saved many lives, spared countless others from serious illness and was a key factor in enabling the Government to lift most public health restrictions last month.

Yet, at home and abroad, it is vital that the focus remain on vaccines. The potential for the emergence of new Covid variants and the likelihood that further boosters may be required means that states must maintain stocks and rollout infrastructure for rapid use.

Efforts to reach communities that have so far resisted vaccination must continue, and the misinformation spread by Covid deniers and conspiracy theorists must be fought with facts, reassurance and scientific rigour.

Seem to be taking it well.

      Science is useless if it doesn’t change when new information comes to light: the falsification principle of Karl Popper.

    The booster rollout was poorly handled but fortunately Covid is weakening as it mutates so I don’t think it’s something to be overly concerned about.

    That 90% of the Irish adult population will drop dead when Billy G flips the 5G kill switch that activates the lethal nanotechnology embedded in the first two shots however is terrifying.

      I find the ” it’s totally fupped up your natural immunity…for everything else ” school of thought, a much more frightening prospect.

        If you mean the lies and misinformation being spread by anti-vaxxers and science deniers?

        I agree with you that it is frightening that the toxic spread of such such lies might have a negative impact on the uneducated and the gullible conspiracy believers against vaccination.

        If you genuinely imagine that superb, worldwide and peer reviewed immunity enhancing vaccines, that have saved countless lives can somehow negatively impact your immune system, please talk to a professional health care provider e.g. your doctor for reaasurance.

          my doctor is only so by default here and she’s actually useless, she talks non stop about herself, didn’t spot a condition I ended up bringing my child to hospital for despite my concern and had to fucking google my own condition. It’s impossible to get another doctor in this locality, but i wouldn’t trust her with a sore throat

          ‘please talk to a professional health care provider e.g. your doctor for reaasurance’

          If he is going to spout out a spiel like your piece of ‘pro-vaccine/anti those who disagree in any way’ propaganda, it would not reassure me at all. I’d want to talk to someone who (whether he thinks these vaccines are good or not) would give considered and reasoned answers to my questions and who would recognise that there are genuine causes for concern, for some of which only time will provide answers.

          “science deniers?” Damn right John!

          I used to be a big science guy, but then Covid happened and I found myself on Facebook at lot. One rabbit hole led to another and I joined the “Church of Anti-Science.”

          I now believe that planes are kept up in the air by magical pixie dust and that the magic box I’m writing this on is powered by my thoughts.

          I’ve also stopped going to doctors, and am now treating that massive lump on my neck with a combination of eskimo earwax and toe hair clippings.

          It’s great that Covid has helped me to deny ALL science, and not just a teeny tiny section of new emergency use science, that people could use to label me in a lazy silly way to make them feel better about their own rushed compelled medical decisions.

          Thanks Covid – you’re the best!

          John, you are a Science Denier, a spreader of Disinformation & ignorant, superstitious nonsense, a Fact Denier, in fact, a Reality Denier. You’re talking utter nonsense about things you know nothing about, that much is evident from the gobbledygook you’re spouting here. You think the mRNA Gene therapy shots have been “peer reviewed”? Nobody peer reviews a medicine, they peer review scientific papers.
          Your ignorance inspires your arrogance in describing the gene therapies as “superb”, when you have no idea whatsoever whether they’re superb or toxic crap, you silly, silly spoofer.

        yeh, i don’t believe any of that tbh.
        the one thing i learned from this pandemic is to ignore ALL of the shrieking bastards who tell you to be afraid all the time because they are liars, every one, to a man.
        bastards.

        3. Broadbag

          Exactly, there’s fearmongers on both sides, ignore them all, read as much as you can and make informed decisions, not based on govt ads or some weirdo on TikTok.

          1. SOQ

            TikTok is the largest social media platform in the world and has proved itself to be a very effective means of communication- especially for CoVid-19 stuff censored or banned by the legacy media.

            Like this- “During a Catholic Mass in Perth tonight a policeman allowed himself in, strutting up the aisle demanding correct mask behaviour & checking exemptions.

            Where have we seen this behavior before in history?”

            https://www.tiktok.com/@pervicalschmancer11.0/video/7065048500186336559

          4. Broadbag

            TikTok is great craic but it’s no solution to ‘legacy media’ it’s the equivalent of listening to a man on the corner ringing a bell screaming into the wind about the end of the world. Also if it is ‘the largest social media platform in the world’ that’s hardly a great selling point, what was the previous largest, Facebook? Popularity does not equal factuality.

          5. SOQ

            Yes there is a lot of fluff but some fantastic interviews on it too- if you know what you are looking for.

            https://www.tiktok.com/@griztoc/video/7063210837565033733

            @Broadbag- perhaps you should be asking why so many people are turning away from the so called ‘experts’ rather than what or who they are turning to?

            The stench of corruption is now so bad now that many people do not believe a word coming from the likes of The Pfizer Time or RTE- that is the real problem.

          6. K.Cavan

            You make a good point, Broadbag, in attesting that your government can be trusted about as much as some random person on Tiktok.
            Kind of worrying that, don’t you think?

  5. SOQ

    Efforts to reach communities that have so far resisted vaccination must continue, and the misinformation spread by Covid deniers and conspiracy theorists must be fought with facts, reassurance and scientific rigour.

    The Pfizer Times in full sales pitch mode. – I actually feel like I need a shower after reading that. Why are they so bothered about such a small percentage of people, if their scientism is so correct?

    1. K.Cavan

      Firstly, the government & State have lied their way through this entire scam, so it’s safe to assume that the claimed figures for the quaxx are about as trustworthy as their reassurances about its safety.
      Secondly, as life expectancies & health outcomes deteriorate across all age groups of quaxxed subjects, they don’t want an unquaxxed control group continuing to enjoy the same levels of health & life expectancy that our population enjoyed, prior to this diabolical campaign.

  7. Chris

    It’s just propaganda, using the same rote terms as always. It’s not meant for a critical thinking audience, but it does reinforce it’s message to those that believe it.

    1. K.Cavan

      It’s moved very much into advertising now, the latest HSE notices are quite clearly consumer-oriented, mainly consisting of the phrase “Everyone needs a boost”. They might as well be selling these fools breakfast cereal.
      At this stage, though, it’s hard not to conclude that anyone still falling for such transparent nonsense is simply a victim of Natural Selection.
      Going for a second booster will be the fourth syringe of toxic muck & according to Japanese scientists, the only ones to do their own testing, that puts them half-way, as eight injections will lead to 100% mortality.
