    Apparently yes, but only if they are standalone supermarkets with no other stores inside??????

    Grand thanks for admitting you were wrong and there is no need of a vaccine pass to go into a supermarket in France.

    Enjoy your night.

    How did you come to that conclusion from my post? ...or are you trying to spread more misinformation (about me this time)? I've already stated that I disagree with a vaccine pass in this thread. I don't agree with a two tier society.

    Even to go into a mall is bad enough



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭growleaves


    Pretty sure it was just a simple error and not 'spreading misinformation' or whatever.

    Macron wanted to include all supermarkets but felt he had to make a concession to protestors.

    Some Irish people now want the unvaccinated banned from all workplaces.

    Unless this stuff slows down or goes into reverse its not going to end well.

    I agree. Some on here are trying to make it sound worse and say that you can't shop for food though. That's complete doom mongering.

    I admit I was wrong on a technicality ( I hadn't done my full research) but I thoroughly disagree with needing a vaccine pass to go into a mall (or supermarket therein). It's not too far of a stretch to think it might not be applied more widely in the future either.

    Enjoy your night too.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,986 ✭✭✭✭Ha Long Bay



    The poster stated as fact "Well you already need a vaccine pass to go into a supermarket in France"

    This is untrue and a lie. I just wanted to be sure anyone else reading the thread would not try to pass on fake information.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,213 ✭✭✭growleaves


    Or it might have been a mistake rather than a lie. But hey whatever you win boards for the day.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,986 ✭✭✭✭Ha Long Bay



    Or they read fake news and reposted it here? Do you not think facts are important?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,024 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    I'd say calling out bullshít is a win alright.

    It's when someone then makes the leap, as was done earlier, and said it could happen in SuperValu...

    Hardly a lie as you do need a vaccine pass to go into a supermarket in France ( when the supermarket inside a shopping centre as most are). I’m delighted to know that you can however go inside a stand-alone supermarket with no pass. That’s great for the French. I’m happy they have such freedoms :).



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,986 ✭✭✭✭Ha Long Bay



    Ok so when you said "Well you already need a vaccine pass to go into a supermarket in France" this is false they don't.

    You never mentioned shopping centers in your original post and provided nothing to backup a French person cannot go to a supermarket located in a shopping center unvaccinated.

    The fact that a select few people do nothing but play pedantry games in this thread is proof of one thing.

    There is no longer any debate about Irelands restrictions, they are complete bullshit and not even the diehards can defend them any more. They pettily nitpick because that's all they have left.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 18,986 ✭✭✭✭Ha Long Bay



    Upset about 40k people in Croker tomorrow? Reading this thread you would think you have to have a vaccine cert to go go Centra but don't see you complaining about that mis-information.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,693 ✭✭✭✭Red Silurian


    No not at all, we know about 10-15% of cases are in fully vaccinated people, so the 10% unvaccinated are accounting for 85-90% of our cases which is in line with the efficacy figures



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,693 ✭✭✭✭Red Silurian


    I've never seen an rte scare article, can you link one? We've had lockdowns in the past and it has reduced our virus numbers greatly so I'm not too sure what your second point is



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,024 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    What is it about this thread where people feel the need to make up stuff. It's almost as bad as the fear mongering from the media.

    There's pedantry...and there's facts. Don't confuse the two.

    D'ya reckong their figures are 10-15% vaccinated and then a large percentage of the rest are in the category Don't know/Non Vaccinated.

    Because Don't Know/Didn't Ask is very different to Non Vaccinated
