What difference will that make to the requirement to mask up indoors and sit at your designated seat? The unvaxxed have to stay outside the door anyway

What changes in February is that we are hopefully close to the other side of respiratory illness season and therefore will have fewer worries about hospitals being able to cope.

You're probably better off being unvaccinated in Ireland at this point. You can go to all the outdoor events and sporting events you want to. Hotels are fully open to you also to go on a break etc. A lot of pubs and restaurants now have top notch "outdoor" setups with heating and weather coverings with no need to be stuck in your designated seat inside with the masked up vaccinated folks. And a lot of places don't bother checking the cert in the first place anyway. You'd wonder who is actually restricted in this scenario.

How nphet are getting away with it 3 main reasons

1 Irish media

2 No opposition in government

3 Irish mentality of being sheep and trying to get kudos for been best in class

And human nature to blame all ills on a scapegoat as we have seen over the last 2 years like:

• the people who went to Cheltenham,
• China,
• Italian rugby fans,
• School tours to Italy,
• the airports,
• The Brits,
• the GAA,
• hotel quarantine,
• Joggers and their "plumes",
• Keelings and their foreign fruit pickers,
• take away pints,
• AstraZenica,
• house parties,
• Boris Johnson and Donald Trump,
• students,
• people enjoying themselves at Christmas,
• The Brits,
• and now the "unvaccinated".

I agree with you .

The disease among vaccinated people / recovered is mainly mild and breakthrough serious infections is only half of the surge in hospitalisation .

The same people can go to a wedding , and sing and dance and mingle all they like .

If people choose to mingle in pubs they are protected from the worst. If vulnerable choose to mingle , they know the risks at this stage .

I wonder if this is a " saving Christmas " mindset for MM et al ?

Oh and Astra Zeneca

They are unable to announce deaths on a daily basis and only do so every week due to the hack….Anyone care to guess why the HSE are still effected by the Hack that happened in May?

Is it an excuse to hide something? Or are they 5 months later still not able to get their computers up and running?

The "gubbermint" surely

I imagine they are doing it to reduce spread of covid.

There is of course the list that anti restrictions posters espouse , the despised ones , we'll call it The Others ...

Healthcare workers who dare to leave the hospital environment to return to their families , go to the shops , or go out , anywhere in fact . And then go in to work and , the dirty things spreading it to all and sundry, without a care for PPE, or wasting PPE as one renowned COO of the HSE said !

Gardaí who allow people to run riot in pubs , houseparties, and turn a blind eye/ don't turn a blind eye, or gardai who don't wear masks at checkpoints ...outside ..in the fresh air .

Teachers who dared to ask if the children they were teaching or themselves may be at risk in crowded classrooms ...keep the doors and windows open !

The government for locking us down when it should have been let rip, for opening up but ignoring the science that boardsies all agree on , for continuing to open up, however tentatively now, when they were expected to lockdown ;)

The opposition for saying nothing ..

The HSE . Not too much angst here I note considering Paul Reid and co are running the service .

GPs who should know their place and stfu , especially Ray Walley .

The media especially RTE , except Fergal Bowers , cos he never gets excited by the numbers .

George Lee who always gets excited

ISAG Sam McConkey , Tomás Ryan , Killeen et al . for talking about zero Covid and killing babies ( I wholeheartedly agree with this one I have to say )

Profs Luke O Neill and Kingston Mills cos they opened their mouths on the telly and the radio, I mean , what do they know ?

NIAC for not giving the vaccines approval fast enough , for giving information and advice about vaccines for specific groups ,and about side effects, for asking us to take vaccines at all, when some here say we never needed them and they don't work anyhow ?

Anybody in the population who is worried about them or their vulnerable relatives catching it and dying because that is just a myth . Those who restricted their movements or isolated and git tested when told to do so . And those who forget to take their mask off in the car, wears a mask and wash their hands when advised to do so , and obeys the restrictions WITHOUT QUESTION, omg what a sin ! What a pack of sheep !

The people who keep going to get tested because they ...are pushing the numbers up .

And finally ....drum roll....Tony Holohan , Phillip Nolan and those heinous sidekicks in NPHET , for their almost religious zeal in their jobs and their belief that they are primarily interested in public health , when in reality its all about The Power and The Money .

Yes these are the real evil faces of the Pandemic ,indeed.
