    Mr Donnelly also confirmed that the State had indemnified drug companies against any liabilities arising from complications with the vaccine.

    And why are they doing this?

    All of this has been addressed multiple times in these threads.

    Yup



    Think. This is quite simple stuff. Why did Covid cases decrease and then start increasing again?

    Because they ramped up and slowed down testing in and out of lockdown
    And before you ask how? Proof?

    I know people working at 2 test centres and they confirmed this but I’m wasting my time anyway as the doubters will say otherwise

    While seasonal influenza (flu) viruses are detected year-round in the United States, flu viruses are most common during the fall and winter.

    Covid test figures fall for seventh week
    The number of people being tested for Coronavirus in Cavan has fallen for the seventh consecutive week.

    Because it tries to give people confidence that the vaccine is safe

    If you trust this government then you don’t know your history

    I'm pretty sure if the smallpox or polio vaccines came out, there would be legal cases and conspiracy theories. That's effectively the rationale, they simply wouldn't be worth the risk if the pharma companies were sued for every 1 in a million side effect. On top of this, this would not apply if they were knowingly covering up side effects etc.

    You don't think less testing as numbers went down in late October into November was as a result of lower numbers getting the disease, as a result of increased restrictions and as a result less contacts to be tested....

    let government take the risk so would you agree if someone is harmed they should be compensated

    Nope, this isn't some trick, and I don't even know what you are going on about in the above. All of this has been patiently explained in this thread. If you are paranoid this thread is all a "trick", you can go and ask on any medical forum.

    Again, the chances of side effects of vaccines are thousands of times less likely than dying from covid.
    No one seems to want to acknowledge this point...

    Normally vaccine companies take on liabilities, but that's with normal vaccine development cycles. In this (exceptional) case they are being asked to speed up that process, so the government is taking on liability.

    So you can sue the government if you are harmed ?
    Are taxpayers onboard with this ?

    It's next to impossible to believe some posters, who I presume are adults, in this thread are not trolling.

    When cases surged in Mar/April, why did those cases start to decrease?

    The answer is not "flu season", what is the answer?

    In certain cases the choice is a) no vaccine for the foreseeable future or b) government liability. It's a representative government, so they've made the decision.

    They increased when the flu shots came out ... coincidence? ... and they decreased again due to herd immunity .. no need for vaccines

    Again, why are you guys so worried about side effects when the chances of them are far far smaller than the effects of covid?
    You keep saying that covid isn't dangerous. So then this must mean the vaccine isn't dangerous either.

    The fear here is not rational.

    Tests were in short supply worldwide if you were following the news you would know this
    And stop asking silly questions

    have you a source for the government accepting liability ?

    Less tests equals less positive cases
    What part of that do you not understand?

    And less positive cases means less tests....what part of that don't you understand?
    There were up on 112k test per 7 day week with a positivity rate of over 7 percent in late October.
    Last time I checked there were 75 odd k tests done in the past 7 days with a 2.6 percent positivity rate.
    I think there's a fairly static 15k tests a week reserved for environments where regular testing is required.

    As case numbers go down so too does the requirement for testing in the community.....


    Again the logic you are using is as flawed as it gets.....

    Those of you saying less testing is the reason for reduced cases as opposed to people adhereing to restrictions is as flawed a logic as you get when the numbers show otherwise......

    It's nothing to do with the flu. Why did the Covid cases generally decrease after the initial rise?

    I'll ask again, it's quite simple, why did cases decrease after the first increase?

    The number of people in ICU wards, on ventilators, started to fall after the first rise, why is that?

    There are children who can answer these questions.

    I heard off my friend that the vaccine can give you a rock hard erection and a serious urge to plough the living **** out of a few birds. Sounds quite fabulous to be fair.

    Yes you can yes they are.

    Easily? Or would it be a very long drawn out process, lots of documents, reports, costs, time and labour?
