    Interesting how almost every thread is identical. Conspiracy supporters with no coherent conspiracy, just resorting to being contrarian and pedantic for the sake of it.

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

    It would be pretty reasonable to expect for it to be proven that it's vaccine related... Out of interest, where do you stand on the hpv vaccine and mmr vaccine? Do you think we'd be better off without them?

    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.

    God your thick

    They found better treatments

    Where has influenza gone ??

    "In Ireland, between 200 and 500 people, mainly older people, die from flu each winter.

    Every year, around the world, flu causes between 3 and 5 million cases of severe disease and up to 646, 000 deaths."

    Of course I can. But not sure why I should just drop the point cause you cats want to run away from it.

    Perhaps you could try addressing it?
    But I predict more deflection and running away.

    Which is more dangerous, Covid or vaccines?
    The evidence says it's covid by a factor of at least 10000.
    You guys are saying it's the vaccine.

    Why be more afraid of the vaccine than covid?

    Only because you guys keep trying to deflect away from it.
    You keep trying to deflect away from it because you can't address it.
    You can't address it because your beliefs aren't true and are based on irrational nonsense.

    If that's not the case, please address the point.

    We can address the point after we address the one that's been left hanging.
    From experience, I know that if I try to address this next point, you guys will likewise ignore the explanation and counter points and try to deflect from that one too.


    The topic of the thread is not the flu, it's the vaccine.
    So, why are you more worried about the vaccine than covid when covid is ten thousand times more dangerous?

    Again, I predict you won't answer and you'll deflect.

    There's been a huge degree of care taken by people that would be absent most other years. Eg distancing and masks. On top of that, we barely even have inward travel to the country plus it's less infectious than coronavirus. So all of this adds up to no flu in Ireland. Every country has faced a decrease in flu because of measures.

    You mean when social distancing started? When people worked from home instead of packed into offices? When less people used public transport? When less people were out socialising in packed bars and clubs?

    Its almost as if this proves social distancing and lockdowns work.

    So people should be able to make any ludicrous claim they want and not answer when questions are asked? Is it an echo chamber you want where only people who agree with you post?

    Its never ceases to amaze me how many conspiracy theorists get angry like this when asked to back up thier claims. Why dodge the questions?

    Everyone is entitled to post here. This is a discussion forum. Regardless what side of the topic you post an opinion on, prepare to DISCUSS it further and expand on it.

    As stated above, this is not a echo chamber for one side of any topic.

    Sure.
    I'm asking you to elaborate and explain your position.
    You aren't actually doing this for some reason.

    I'm simply asking you to explain why you and other conspiracy theorists are so afraid of the vaccine when it's been shown that covid is far more dangerous.

    To me, this doesn't make sense. So I'm asking you why it makes sense to you.
    For some reason, no one seems to want to answer this (or any question) but they won't explain this reason either.

    Again, I don't understand how "please explain and elaborate on your position" can be taken to be somehow trying to limit or stop those positions being expressed.

    so you think its perfectly normal to be sent for a COVID test if you show up at your GP for a skin rash on your leg pre Level 5 lockdown and also having GP's saying they wont see anyone at their surgery without getting a COVID PCR test, but then as soon as L5 hits, the number of tests and people being sent drops significantly?

    It's a straightforward question. Why did cases increase in March/April and then decrease just after that?

    If you can't answer, then try this: you're running a country, suddenly a very infectious disease hits, you need to reduce it spreading between everyone, so what do you do? (whilst balancing the economy and other factors)

    So too did the positivity rate.....from over 7 percent to circa 2.5 percent......it's fairly basic matchs here.....
    People's close contacts went down on average over the periods of increased restrictions....less people need to be tested as a result....
    Any btw, doctors requirements did not chance before and during the last set of level 5 restrictions....

    So what is the latest conspiracy theory on C19 ?

    It's there we have to deal with it.

    One thing I do remember from back in July, 2 Japanese high up virologists said covid19 couldn't have come from bats to humans, plus one of the worlds best scientists at looking at bat virus's (cause they carry so many) also said it might of come from a bat originally but, it looks very unlikely that this strain came purely from a bat, the non scientific term she used was "far too complicated to have solely come from a bat"

    It certainly isn't too far fetched that something happened in a lab near Wuhan.

    Other than that it's there now, so are vaccines, and if you research and have a good look at the vaccines, they are relatively very safe.

    The issue with this is there is a overwhelming number of virologists and experts who maintain it made the jump from animals to humans, so much so that it's current consensus

    It exposes that the position is baseless, and some people don't like that.

    It's the double-whammy of demonstrating that someone is not just deluding others, but deluding themselves. And in most cases can substitute deluding with "lying to".
