Would you be happy for your children to receive covid-19 vaccine

That Orla Hegarty loon spent all day yesterday posting no fewer than 18 photos of groups of children in foreign, clearly better than us countries wearing their masks. Mostly continental Europe.

She doesn't seem to realise that from what I can see France, Holland, Austria etc seem to be catching up/ overtaking our rate (it was big news when we had the highest rates in Europe, seems to be a non starter that we seem to be plateauing while the EU catches up and exceeds us)

Here's a question re this school masking thing.

What happens if a six year old refuses to wear one because his/ her dad refuses to engage in pseudoscience and fear porn?

What happens if six year old Jack or Ellie tells teacher "my daddy said that masks don't work and I don't need to wear one because usually only old people get very sick, and my granny and grandad had their booster shots so they won't get sick if I catch it".

I used to see quite a few very young kids wearing them, tbh that was harmless, I know from mates that at the start a lot of kids wanted to wear one in the shops as kids always want to ape what all the grown ups are doing.

But what happens if the child parrots the above statement with the same vigour as they have been trained to scream and run if a man in a playground comes up and asks them if they want to come see some dogs. Because that is what it is, self protection advice when engaging with unscrupulous adults.

Could the child be suspended?

Sent to a specialist unit for unteachable miscreants?

You feel sorry for a child whos parent engages in science? Who reads data, statistics, reports, studies, rather than taking the advice of some Yes Man from NPHET who tells the public I have read the science on your behalf because you're too thick to understand it, and here's what it said?

There are a lot of pathetic people out there.

2 in every million UK under 18's died from, or with, Covid. UK under 18 deaths are somewhere over 4000 per year. 2 in 2200 deaths had something involving Covid. Chicken Pox kills 1 per 100,000 sufferers per year in comparison. Meningitis has been a far more common threat to children throughout even our medically advanced era yet social distancing and masking was never entertained.

Figures from Karl Deeter and John McGuirk on Kieran Cuddihy's show on Newstalk yesterday around 4:30. A refreshing breath of sanity in our media.

Lemme guess, John McGuirk is an unreliable source because he goes to Mass or something.

Teenage girl is left bed bound for a fortnight, in her own home, in the middle of winter, with a virus.

An unprecedented episode LOL. I wish this girl well, but there's as much chance of me riding Margot Robbie as there is of this young lady suffering any sort of lasting impact from her brush with Covid by, and I'm casting the net wide here, mid January. In all likelihood she will be 100% well before Christmas.

I still recall the country going into lockdown in 1997 when I spent 10 days in Temple Street with a chronic flu that led to the feeling in my legs all but disappearing for quite a few days.

It's actually quite hilarious when Branch Covidians use examples of relatively minor things that have happened to healthy humans since the dawn of time as proof that Covid is something new and unpredictable.

I was bed bound for a week back in 2001 aged twenty three , got a very bad flu , was hallucinating and everything , never got close to a dose like it since , it happens
