I really don't get why you'd mention masks and social distancing. I live on this planet too, don't you think I've heard that before? If masks and social distancing work so well then how come we are facing a "worse" second wave when compliance rates are through the roof?
(as much as RTE would have you believe otherwise) Seriously, when was the last time you saw someone go maskless in Dunnes? Do you remember, before July not a single person wore a mask. Even my mother thought the idea of them was ridiculous.
EDIT: Actually a little experiment: Next time you are in a shop count how many seconds you can go without hearing or reading "mask", "mandatory", "covid" or "social distancing". If you can beat my current record of 4 seconds then well done!

I am even starting to doubt the number of Covid deaths there are in Ireland. Nearly a year in and we've still no real stats on those deaths regarding underlying illness etc. Is it still a case of a Covid positive person that gets run over by a bus still dies of Covid nothing else?!!
And young people, why should they even want to be vaccinated when it doesn't even effect them any more than a mild cold.
Lots of questions and doubts buzzing around my head, but I'm sure i will get lynched now for daring to even mention them!

They then spent four days ringing me from three different numbers, so many calls I put the phone on silent. I'm having no hand part or act in this charade and even though I'm in the so called at risk category I won't be taking any vaccine.

naughtynaughty wrote: » Now, to address my "hypocrisy" I have 3 points. Firstly the virus has been around for more than a year, vaccine efforts have been around for at most half of that.
naughtynaughty wrote: » Secondly, the vaccine is man-made and acts on a virus that even you say is not very well understood. Humans are quite flawed and terrible things can happen if we **** this up.
naughtynaughty wrote: » Thirdly, whether or not this disease is bad (I think it's probably not going by "initial evidence" shall we call it), why introduce another variable into the mix? So, we're already in a bad situation where we have an at least somewhat bad disease. What happens if we really mess up with this and it's worse than the disease?

King Mob wrote: » What about the people who can't get vaccines for one reason or another? Either due to immunodeficiency issues or allergies?

There are already so many people on this planet that we are not only trashing it with obscene amounts of pollution, but we are actually warming the planet. Why not let the strong survive and the weak die off? I'm not saying that because I am strong, I'm saying that because that is the natural order. My disappointments with this virus is 1) that the people can be so easily controlled and 2) that it's not deadly enough. Wouldn't you like a world where just the strongest survived?
