    Refusing to get the vaccine is a reliable indicator, and you actively refused to get it long before you happened to catch the virus.

    And are still refusing. Remember, we are all in this together.

    MERS is still out there, and no flu has ever been ‘eradicated’. SARS is hopefully gone, interestingly the last outbreak was thought to have escaped from a lab in China.

    I'm not refusing to get it. There's a massive difference between refusing to actively go out of my way to get a vaccine and being not arsed. If some lad landed into my workplace and said I'm here to vaccinate you, I'd stick out my arm and say, "Work away."

    Why would I protest and give the media and people like yourself exactly what you want?

    What’s the difference? Your attitude? Doesn’t affect the overall numbers so it’s a meaningless distinction you’ve created for yourself.

    Can you explain how my laziness turns into being anti-vax in your head? I'm not anti-vax.

    Also bucketybuck reckons I'm still refusing the vaccine now. He fails to appreciate that I don't actually need it now and have the EU Covid Cert to prove it.

    Strong justification there for vaccinating the under 18s



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭bucketybuck


    Vaccine centres all over the country, pharmacies able to give out the vaccines and you want to pretend that you just couldn't be arsed. Plenty of time to play games online though, getting a good laugh telling people things aren't restricted as long as they just don't go to them.

    Just admit it, you have had ample and easy opportunity to get the vaccine but are refusing to, you are an anti vaxxer.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,969 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    How many times do I need to repeat myself? I don't need the vaccine. Also, you keep repeating the falsehood that I've told people things aren't restricted as long as they don't go to them. I've asked you for proof of this and you can't show any. Stop it please.

    Italy on about mandating vaccines for employment

    https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/italy-make-covid-green-pass-mandatory-workers-minister-2021-09-15/

    We're never going to be out of this. The pandemic will pass but all we've done is introduce lots of authoritian laws that are as much of an issue longer term.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,341 ✭✭✭✭bucketybuck


    Get vaccinated, it is the right thing to do. You can drag your ass up North to a festival, I'm sure you can drag your ass a few minutes down the road to a chemist.

    Do the right thing.

    OK, let's move on - a poster is entitled to make their own mind up as to whether and/or when to get vaccinated without the Boards community looking to take a decision for them



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    did i see in indo on monday something about government not wanting as much testing being done, unless very sick?? whats that bout?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 25,062 ✭✭✭✭lawred2


    It's about realising that we have to move on and live with this. The vast vast majority of cases are at worst a mild illness.

    Time to stop shutting down aspects of society because someone has the sniffles.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,188 ✭✭✭Dickie10


    would i be right in saying then that with that case numbers will plummet? may not mean theres no covid around just no cases of it? i suppose it will peter out from the news then over the next month or two. definitley found its slowly disapeering off media. clare byrne show the other night and not one segment on convid, has to be the first since early march 2020.

    The Examiner is reporting an old Dunnes premises in Cork city is being converted to a vaccination centre. Possibly a silly question, but why do we need this, at this point in time?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,579 ✭✭✭✭stephenjmcd


    What you saw was a HSE plan on how to transition from mass testing to testing only those who are quite sick, mild illness wouldn't be tested.

    HSE also said it won't be adapted in the near future so nothing changes any time soon



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    It will be interesting to see when Sports start to classify it as a regular illness. We're still seeing games being called off, players/coaches still having to isolate if they are close contacts etc. The virus is going to be around for at least another 5 years. They cannot keep on doing this for some of the fittest people we can find.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 936 ✭✭✭darconio


    The virus is going to be around for as long as the population will listen and comply with whatever the "health experts" tell them.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,876 ✭✭✭✭astrofool


    Presumably you've been out protesting against the experts then?



  • Posts: 10,049 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Wheras it will disappear if we all stick our fingers in our ears and shout lalalalala! If only we did that when it first emerged



  • Posts: 10,049 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Except that’s entirely consistent with what was said yesterday if anyone had bothered to read past a headline



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,159 ✭✭✭✭Gael23


    are visitor bans in hospitals being relaxed as part of the ending of restrictions?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,969 ✭✭✭Penfailed


    If we stop listening, the virus will disappear? Sounds plausible...

    If you read full articles instead of just headlines you’d see he’s been consistent on this.
