Neither do we rely on data that hasn't been checked by the regulator, and we don't let any old plant anywhere in the world produce medicines. When we inject someone with something that hasn't been approved and it ends up killing them or they grow another arm, we'll have the loudmouths looking for inquiries long after Covid is only a memory and asking how this was allowed to happen.

The other 2 million of the population in Ireland are children, pregnant women, allergies, anti vaxxers btw, i'm assuming pregnant women and children won't have a vac available to them Can you use that knowledge to have an educated guess on hospitalisatons, cases per day, deaths etc I'd like to see your projections of what a working well vaccine can do

jackryan34 wrote: » I know its an ask But we had all these models showing us what would happen without restrictions when we had no vaccine. Now we have a vaccine and we know they work I'd like to see a real world model of how it looks with no restrictions, 60% of population vaccinated and winter conditions Has anyone seen such a model? Not a Utopian model with 100% of people vaccinated A real world that includes anti vaxxers, kids, pregnant women etc I think 60% total population vaccinated is very realistic for us this winter 21/22
