    Covid has been a bonanza for the GPs

    First they got the phone consultations and now they're moving on to the 60 euro jabs

    I don't begrude as they had a role to fulfill and they did

    £12GBP or €13.80 over the border...perhaps they have less admin.

    They do, the GPs are not doing any real admin or scheduling, NHS is looking after that. They also have lower cost of living and wages too. Ireland is expensive, has been for ages.

    Yup, cost of living is 20-25% cheaper in the UK. On the flip side average wage is more than 25% higher here.

    As a consequence of emerging variants we seem to be gravitating towards an annual Covid jab for the vulnerable and the cautious. It therefore makes sense that we open up without delay once these groups have had their initial vaccination.

    The initial buy in will be high but annual jabs will be a different matter. The uptake is likely to be little better than the flu. If we are unlikely to get everyone to take a vaccine next year and every year, why wait until everyone is vaccinated now to start opening up?

    Honestly? Do you believe that the whole population will take an annual vaccine?

    Rarely accurate figures any day. The daily reported spikes are consistent though.

    The headline is sufficient to explain. As I already asked you, do you believe that the entire population will take an annual vaccination?

    They won’t unless forced so the annual vaccines may have to be mandated.

    We saw the same with masks. Most people wouldn’t wear them until forced.

    We will see in time what the new normal looks like.

    It will be far higher than the flu.

    You think vaccination will become mandatory, yet despite the inherent benefits of various vaccinations for measles, flu, etc non mandatory ? Hilarious the nonsense some people come out with.
    Huge difference between wearing a mask and an injection .

    For an annual vaccine? For a vaccine this year it will be huge, but annually, I very much doubt it.

    The uptake of the flu vaccine is poor resulting in the hospitals being overrun every winter. We can’t allow that to happen with covid as it is more infectious. We couldn’t even get most of the nurses to take the flu vaccine.

    So how will you get the population to take an annual vaccine?

    The only way is vaccine passports where those not vaccinated are denied access to a variety of events and establishments.

    So you want to take away the right to body autonomy? Almost like the recent referendum never happened.
    I will be taking the vaccine when available if it means my life gets back to normal, but I respect the right of others to decide for themselves.
    Perhaps change your name to Jack Boot, it would reflect your attitude better.

    A vaccination passport has already been ruled out by the UK authorities.

    I’m only saying what may happen. Alternatively, we may have periodic restrictions when thinks get out of hand, or we just let carnage happen in the hospitals from time to time.

    This is it ,it's kinda obvious since the beginning that restrictions on non -vaccinated will drive uptake

    Not sure on the other part of polesheeps post

    I had no idea what he was saying

    They'll probably just mix it in with whatever they're using for chem trails
