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

The point was to grab papers from before the current overload of papers from the latest vaccines, but you can pretty much go "X vaccine myocarditis" to see papers from the past covering it.

Happy reading.

Heard from someone teaching in EU who said most of their day was trying to keep masks on 6-7 year olds and to get them to keep any kind of distance!

Really? I don't think there's much support for that. Personally, I think it's ridiculous. Adults can't even wear masks properly, what chance have kids. Pointless exercise.

Maybe don't trust either and try to use your own cognitive ability?

Why? Are you scared of the virus BanditLuke?

I don't support masks in primary school.

However a study comparing schools with mask mandates vs. schools without mask mandates from the US found that those without masks were 3.5 times less likely to have a coronavirus outbreak:

Masks do work at containing spread, that is unequivocal.

The question is whether we need to be containing spread at the school level or can we keep the cases and hospitalisations at a manageable level using other methods.

Have NPHET ever blamed anybody? I know certain govt politicians have but I'd take no notice of that

You want to blame somebody then blame the person who decided to make Ireland a wet and cold country where respiratory viruses thrive in the winter

Oh no, back to level 5 lockdown so.

🤮 The media continues to scrape the barrel.

What is beyond me, and I mean I am either too dumb to grasp it or it's such a logic reasoning that is impossible not to follow it, is:

The injection doesn't work as it was promised, this is an inconfutable truth, it may prevent serious hospitalization in certain instances but we will never know because we don't have the proof that, if we didn't vaxxed 94% of the population, the same would have happened. We can only rely on data from other countries, well we should use also Israel, Gibraltar and iceland for example and draw our conclusions.

The vax was designed for the first variant: it may have been more effective back in march 2020, but we have already noticed that with the evolution of the virus its effects are waning. Why people are racing to get a booster of the same vaccine? They already mentioned that is not effective for the new variant, so why the stampede in the vaccination center?

The vax cert doesn't in any way prevent spreading the virus/killing the virus, increase mortality/decrease mortality: it was designed to keep track of the vaccination status and it should have stopped there. Our politicians/eminent virologists thought differently and have imposed it as an instrument of discrimination: with that many vaccinated ,imposing the vax cert mandate, has been like mandating that only people with a nose can socialize.

Face covering are not working and, in the way they are used, aren't effective in any way to prevent transmission: imposing this to children is the next level abomination. Whoever is hiding behind the narrative that it has been done to protect the community, is in reality thinking about his/her old self: what else are we prepared to accept before it's too late? We comply because we want it to end, but it will never end because we comply

LOL - that made me laugh but sadly your satire is reality

As what have I achieved - I'll always defer to eamon dunphy on this one

while i'm not near 63 yet...the sentiment remains.
