Should everybody with those views be imprisoned? Or just teachers with those views?

Sounds like you are looking for your own personal echo chamber. People who do not subscribe to your views are not antivax and it's a sign of a lazy mind that can't distinguish between those who oppose vaccination, the real anti-vaxxers and those who have questions about measures being utilised by government.

What's more shocking, is that a teacher doesn't allow people have or discuss opposing views.

You want people to see what you see in the video. Anyone that doesn't share your view are 'completely incapable of understanding the video'.

But thank you for your concern.

There's a few socks in that video PJ.

Why would anyone think that newspaper is a reliable source. People need to grow up and be more sceptical of such publications.

Part of the trouble with what's going on is it is something we've been doing for 20 months, just reacting to the circumstances of this virus and there is no sign of an exit plan. In May 2020 we saw one with all those different levels and stages. We moved through each one of them pretty much as promised even if later last year it turned into made-up jigsaw levels. Since then it's been all about what NPHET models say, unfortunately.

There's no real way to present an exit plan at present but at the same time this government really does not look like it's prepared to prepare one either. What looks more likely to happen is that some random day in 2022 things will suddenly look like normal. That's just not the way to do things and the ease with which some people have switched their brains to an imminent lockdown mode is not at all surprising.

I suppose we urgently need to see some information about Omicron and the actual risk it may pose but we also need to see signs early in the New Year that the government can come up with an exit plan.

They are trying to keep the schools open. If teachers are absent due to being close contacts, they can't come to work. If enough teachers can't come to work, they can't find the subs and they won't get rid of the 'isolate for 10 days as a close contact' idea, then the schools will close. The kids can't sit in unsupervised rooms.

There is a staffing crisis because so many are out and sitting at home as close contacts. They weren't doing this before that 'close contact isolates for 10 days regardless of vaccination status'

If it isn't about keeping the schools open, then why is school the only environment that children at this age group are being asked to wear masks in?

Suggesting that there is some ulterior motive to it is either bandwagon hopping or we are back to making stuff up.

Then why demonstrate on a new born doll ?

“a little odd” ?

It was off the wall , agenda filled , brainwashing is what it was.

Because most people don't have full size anatomically correct mannequins lying around the place?

Listening to news talk there with Gavan Reilly, David Cullinane is an absolute tool! Not once did he blame Nphet for anything! All the government, slow with antigen, slow with schools etc! It was all public health advice and snake oil Nolan driving their own agendas! Sinn Fein are another useless bunch of twats! Populist politics! Reilly kept saying it was Public health advice, in one ear and out the other with cullinane!!

I find Brendan quite balanced actually. He does try to play devils advocate but he is nobody's fool.
