Relaxation of Restrictions, Part XII *Read OP For Mod Warnings*

It could be just my feeling, but looks like the news of somebody getting fired for not being vaccinated, would be accepted as a victory of the rightful over the unjust. If this is really the mindset, and I am quite sure it is, then this country and the world in general are really going down a slippery slope. I am confident that in europe such discrimination won't happen, e.g. working from home will be offered where possible to whoever cannot take a vaccine, actually would be quite funny if the "unvaxxed" (as somebody like to call them) will have the benefit to work from home while everybody else will be "forced" to go to the office, but at the same time it will contribute to a 2 tier society even more. Really fun times ahead of us, they managed to twist the facts in a way that convinced people that the new boogey man are now the unvaccinated! In the 80's was the gay community to be avoided at all costs because they could spread their HIV virus, then was the turn of Muslim and whoever had a "different" skin color but nowadays the new threat are "the unvaxxed" .. god give me strength...

It's a racing certainty that a new DEADLIER ! variant will emerge from the wings in due course,it may well be another Covid,but more likely to be something new and FAR more deadly,unless one distances,washes,or injects yet another chemical into the body.

We now know the screenplay,and it's based upon FEAR,which is now a far greater pandemic than Covid ever was.

How we (The People) are to ever regain our freedom and/or self confidence and respect is entirely up to ourselves,but I doubt that Irish sentiment will ever rise to the levels elsewhere in Europe..

A slow awakening is the best we can hope for ?

You couldn't make this shite up

A number of posters on here seen very happy to segregate their fellow citizens and classify the "unvaxxed" as second class citizens and to treat them accordingly. I always wondered how authoritarian regimes could possibly come into being, but the last year and a half has shown that large swathes of society are very happy to go along with whatever the "authorities" tell them to do and to persecute bogeymen in society. In this case the "unvaxxed".

Yes of course. I've posted about it here over the last few months. Got jabbed April/May. What relevance does that have to anything??

I thought NPHET were an advisory body, but now they are giving "options"? Every other nation in Europe managed to implement testing as part of their reopening. But not here due to NPHETs anti science view of antigen testing.

Every other nation in Europe reopened including the use of antigen testing to allow those not yet vaccinated partake in those parts of society. But not here. Why not? You can check in with Philip "snake oil" Nolan if you need an answer.

Vaccine coercion really isn't a great look you know.

And many of the younger people couldn't even register for a vaccine until very very recently so they were being excluded from parts of society for something they couldn't even get their hand on. Not a great look.

This of course leaves us in the ludicrous situation where someone can fly abroad on the strength of a test only, dine indoors abroad, mix with any number of people, fly home on a plane and mix at home when they land. But they can't go into a coffee shop or restaurant for a drink or food indoors in this country!! Absolutely ludicrous, but no surprise to see people trying to justify this as perfectly fine.

No comment on the fact you can fly abroad, or even just drive up the road to NI, and partake in all these activities without any vaccine?

No comment either that many younger adults are still awaiting their vaccines. Even those who want them at still awaiting appointments and won't be fully vaccinated until well into September yet are excluded from parts of society here.

I wonder why you are ignoring this? Do you think that's acceptable? I presume you do as long as it doesn't affect you right?
