    Vaccine roll out plan for Ireland to be announced next week.


    The 11th was the previous plan. Next Friday is the 11th

    Unless they move it to the briefing next Monday

    We are doing the same- kids finishing school on the Friday before Christmas, isolating as a family for a week and getting tested the day before Christmas Eve before making a bubble with elderly parents for Christmas. We know it’s not bullet proof but there will be hugs and no plastic cutlery!
    We are using the drive in facility at the airport.

    Word of warning, Claire Byrne has Sam McConkey on at half 10 to tell us why the vaccines might not live up to expectations. The perfect Christmas present for the public. Shower of pricks

    Maybe they have Gerry Killeen, Anthony Staines and Thomas Ryan booked in too as part of a tag team to really drive the woes home. Disgraceful.

    Can't wait till we are starting to pull clear of this bloody thing so that I dont have to listen to these fellas anymore.

    I guess he didn’t hear the results about the 94/95% efficacy. My advice just don’t watch the moron.

    .

    I’m sure they’ll be on proposing restrictions for other issues when Covid is gone no doubt.

    These fûckers just love the limelight and will say anything to stay relevant. Hope there’s a counter argument against the donkey!

    Will those on health insurance get first dibs on the vaccine?

    My counter argument is, the remote control. Not listening to him.

    RTE would be better serving the public playing that 6 minute clip of Dr. Fauci.

    It took him just 6 minutes to explain a pragmatic approach for the next few weeks/months and to ease the fears people may have of the vaccine.

    RTE are doing the public a disservice, again.

    Light article on natural and vaccine induced immunity. Lots of it has been covered here in this thread, this one is just a condensed version with some comments about SARS-cov-2 vaccines and natural immunity as well:

    https://www.nature.com/articles/s41591-020-01180-x


    P.S. I personally prefer the term 'wild type' immunity, I think it has a more appropriate ring to it.

    It’s actually irrelevant. Only the vulnerable and health care workers will get the vaccine first. If very few of them have adverse events them the bulk of the population will line up for it.

    No. If privately insured patients get it privately it won't be "dibs", it will be from a parallel supply chain outside the public one.

    randomly came across this in my internet travels. anti vaccine sentiment is a big problem in pakistan and neighboring muslim countries and with good reason; after the CIA set up fake vaccination clinics in 2015 to help gather intelligence and capture Bin Laden. they wanted to gather DNA from bin ladens many relatives. since then, many vaccination workers have been killed by militants.

    Gerry Killeen is actually very positive since the news of the vaccines came out believe it or not

    Hence he'll likely never be seen in the public eye again

    Don't see it mentioned in any of the articles but with a wife that is a healthcare assistant and being first up in a few weeks to get the vaccine, which she is happy to get btw

    Will there be indemnity on the manufacturers if there is side effects?

    Read there won't be any compensation or legal obligation if side effects do happen

    My question is why?

    Do they not have faith the vaccine is safe?

    Why no indemnity?

    VW wouldnt sell a car without a warranty

    Seems strange not to have it

    Simple bit of research will give you your answer, been widely covered.

    The state is providing indemnity & Donnelly reconfirmed it on national radio over the weekend. Of course there's a legal route to take if anyone did have side effects.

    Don't believe everything you read.

    Statements like Fauci’s above bring positivity and a feeling that there’s light at the end of the tunnel to an extremely fatigued people.

    I don’t think they realise quite how fed up people are of this. If you told them it’ll all be over soon but we need to double down it’ll provide us with something to look forward to. Instead in Ireland it seems to be “don’t be getting your hopes up there get back into your house and gaze at those walls for another while”.

    Exactly, if people listen to this clown McConkey they'll lose hope and say "**** it I'll do what I want".
