This morning.
Via BBC:
Dr Anne McCloskey, a former Aontú councillor, expressed concerns about young people being given the vaccine.
The Health and Social Care Board (HSCB) and Western Urgent Care (WUC), where Dr McCloskey works, are now investigating, the Belfast Telegraph has reported.
Dr McCloskey told BBC News NI that she stands by her comments.
In the nine-minute video, posted on Sunday, she made a number of claims including that there is not enough evidence that it is safe for young people to be vaccinated.
Dr McCloskey said she was “distraught” by the number of young people “damaged” by “unlicensed and unapproved” vaccines.
She said many young people have been “coerced, bribed or bullied” into being vaccinated and that vaccines are “malevolent”.
That’ll learn her.

Chief Medical Officer Dr Tony Holohan
Last night/this morning.
Chielf Medical Officer at the Department of Health, Dr Tony Holohan said:
“Over the course of the last seven days, 32 people with Covid-19 were admitted to critical care facilities and today, there are a total of 60 people with Covid-19 receiving critical care.
“The median age of those in ICU is 55 – this means that 50% of the patients currently in ICU with Covid-19 are aged less than 55 years.”
Dr Holohan added:
“While our vaccination programme continues to offer great hope, at this point in time, only 53% of 16 to 29 year-olds are fully vaccinated. This age group continues to account for the highest incidence of Covid-19 in our population.”
Half of Covid ICU patients under 55, says Holohan (RTÉ)

Carrie Baxter – Something In The Water
Yoga mat blues.
London-based, Waterford-born singer Carrie Baxter (top) offers a new look at old habits on the new single from her forthcoming EP What Now, due October 22.
Carrie says:
“This song is very much written in retrospect. I wrote this song both from my own personal experience and from situations I have witnessed. There was a point in my life I thought perhaps meditation and yoga sessions would save me and outweigh the awful things I was doing to my body – but I was young and naive and failed to recognise that the real practice is out in your life, not on a mat! Thank heavens I am wiser than the situations in this song now.”
Nick says: Here comes the sun salutation.
