    If it really has been that stressful why does he keep coming back for more?

    Holohans return is so disheartening after beginning to ease restrictions meaningfully

    He comes back because he enjoys the job. Stress is not a deterrent.

    I doubt he has enjoyed the last year and a bit that much. Nobody has. But maybe he likes the job during normal times so he doesn’t want to quit. He is a few years off retirement age yet. Might also distract him from the fact that his wife is no longer around.

    If that's your attitude then why does anyone do anything?

    Some jobs are difficult and someone has to do them.

    I don't think the return of Tony definitely means what everyone thinks it does.

    While he wanted to be the one making the big decision by putting us in perpetual lockdown, he'll also want to be the one releasing us.

    I've long thought that we won't come out of level 5 until he returns and can take the credit himself.

    I don't know if the man is a narcissist or an egomaniac, but if his return does coincide with a significant relaxation of restrictions, it would certainly point to it.

    Jesus. This place - Tony's back, we'll stay in Level 5 now, just wait and see. Also this place - Tony's back, we'll come out of Level 5 now so that he can take credit. FFS.

    Yeah its highly unusual on a forum to have posters with differing opinions. Suggest you try something like twitter. :rolleyes:

    The point is, both versions are from people that appear to have an irrational dislike of a fella who's just doing his job...so, same opinion, different outcome. Twitter is great BTW.

    As a relatively young, very healthy person, please give me one reason I should take this rushed, very questionable vaccine. Because I can think of way more reasons that I shouldn't take it...

    But the government blackmail attempts are a problem travel passports etc

    I'm sure there's a vaccine thread for that kind of question.

    Because it may help you not transmit the virus to someone other than yourself who may be very vulnerable to it.

    What vulnerable can’t take the vaccine themselves?

    I’ve not heard yet of anyone not actually taking the vaccine due to underlying conditions

    If you feel coerced into doing something, you probably are. Don’t do it if you are not afraid to be ostracised. Short term it may be painful, but you will learn that it is really long term that matters.

    When you hear about pregnant women and people in palliative care taking their jabs, I get a sense of wtf - but hey their choice. Am I supposed to now worry about the people who are both vulnerable AND anti-vax?

    I'm a bit past caring for every overweight loudmouthed boomer in existence, is there a line somewhere?

    I believe there are some people who can't take the vaccine for some medical reason.

    In any case it is up to each individual whether he or she takes the vaccine or not. The overwhelming consensus is that they should however.

    I think that not taking it because of a worry about it being "questionable" is questionable in it's own right however as i think the risk of any significant side effects are extremely low.

    Each to their own but people taking vaccines are our way out of this thing.

    True. I read and heard people with ME and autoimmune issues say they can't take the vaccine but all the medical opinion is that patients with autoimmune diseases are far safer getting the Covid vaccine than not.

    I know a couple of people who have convinced themselves that they can't take the vaccine without ever discussing it with their doctors. It's not that they don't want to but they are genuinely convinced they can't.

    Why post fake news?



    "Vaccination centres
    Under the new deal, GPs and pharmacists will be paid €25 for administering each dose of the vaccine in their surgeries or in centres in their localities. An additional single €10 processing fee will be paid per patient. For a two-dose vaccine, such as that being produced by AstraZeneca, the total paid will be €60.

    If a single-dose vaccine is subsequently approved, the total paid to GPs will be €35.
