They will all give us the "Myself and my family are quarantining" line, before having their own full house Christmas Party on the 25th. And RTE have no credibility on the issue, having had their own retirement party in house, in spite of telling the rest of us not to go to funerals.

Not one journalist has questioned the efficacy tests from any of the pharma companies, in spite of the fact that there is no independent verification of their results. And many of those same pharma companies, particularly that company that RTE put in the mouth of a child on the Toy Show script, have had serious legal issues with the marketing of their previous products.

generalgerry wrote: » Luke O'Neill said that he would be the first to take the vaccine when it becomes available. I thought this was a little odd, given that none of them have been approved as of yet, and nobody has been told who is taking liability for the vaccines in case of injury (which he himself admitted live on radio will invariably be caused). So maybe Luke will be at the top of the queue followed by the TDs.

Its the same propaganda from RTE. they have a set view of the world, and they mainly only have experts , commentators etc on their shows who back up ,what they consider to be the ' correct view' . Consider the reception someone like Brendan O'Neill gets on the Claire Byrne show, compared to the questioning that any of the anti brexit commentators get . The attitude seems to be, if we dont like what you have to say, we wont be broadcasting it

And then spouting on about making her name in peer review publications as if this meant that we should trust her over doctors and scientists. I also think she said that people should do their own research or something asking those lines. Almost Gemma-lite if you ask me. I am going to get crucified for this but Norah needs to remember she is a trained nurse, and a long time out of that game. She should leave the advice on vaccines to those trained to do so-scientists and doctors, who are up to date with the latest technology. Also if her friends are coming to her for medical advice, as she claimed, really she should be telling them to go to their GP (or someone trained to give the proper advice and help) Shame on rte for giving Norah a forum to spout her crap on. Disclaimer-I know nurses are one of the most crucial parts of the health system, are greatly undervalued and the system would fall apart without them
