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

Took issue with the notion that pharmacy locum payscales aren't related to HSE level of spending. Pharmacies rely heavily on HSE for their income and are a strong vested interest group in the sector. They're directly related. Don't have an issue with the work, just don't mis-represent who's paying for it.

As an engineer you could, provided you don't use your current employers softwares, meet any contract stipulations that work is-pre agreed, and get the required levels of insurance.

Make whatever money you like - however bragging about your income is very much a "nouveau riche" type of thing.

You wouldnt catch us old money types at that

Might as well merge with the Covid 19 Part XXXV as its just a free for all on these threads lately.

Indeed , not at all sure how we've got here with some extraordinary nonsense 🙄

The faux outrage from all sides is strong this morning

Always the Anti Vaxxer shout, its getting boring now

Nice lazy stereotype you have there! I don't see it bearing any resemblance to reality though.

I don't see anyone saying they're antivax? Anti-mandatory vaccination maybe but that's a reasonable point given our high levels of vaccination and the idea of personal choice.

Maybe you meant "far right" - although we don't have any of those either! This is not America and Facebook or Twitter are not reality!

Posted on that in the Schools thread as I heard it on the news earlier. Sounded to me that someone got legal advice over the weekend.

Right decision - nothing stopping kids wearing masks if they want/feel safer but forcing it on everyone in a classroom was always a ridiculous overreaction.

That's a terrible slur on Headless chickens 🐔 😁

I'd say it was more the Public and indeed Teacher, Parents outrage at the disgraceful bullying tactics exhibited by clueless civil servants in the DOE ,led from the front by thr odious and equally clueless Norma Foley 😏

that's about the sum total of it

holding any concerns whatsoever about the vaccination programe is enough to earn the moniker

sure we're at the absurd situation whereby fully covid vaccinated individuals are being tagged as anti-vaxxer for even daring to question any aspect of the vaccine or its rollout.

those reflexively resorting to howls of anti-vax are just as dimwitted as those they purport to be so much smarter than.

one would have to question the caliber of legislators we're burdened with if legal advice is sought after the fact

Wouldn't be the first time, and your question is of course both entirely valid but also not a surprise

When you have the likes of Helen McEntee rewarding and encouraging illegal immigration for little more than the "feelz" (it's the "right thing to do" she says) and social media kudos, you really have to worry the direction this country is going in generally.

It also now encompasses anyone who thinks ticketed nightclubs and 9 euro meals don't stop the spread of disease. Or who question why we are being told by govt that children are catching covid on playdates and sleepovers but never schools.

I'm vaccinated, I believe covid is a real disease with serious consequences for *some* cohorts.

But I also believe we have failed to learn or adjust our approach at all from the 1st 2 weeks in March 20. We are still focusing on nonsense unscientific tinkering. We are repeatedly being treated like absolute gombeens by the govt and nphet and we have failed to implement measures that will actually save lives - like increasing hospital capacity.

Not unquestioningly swallowing everything nphet says does not make you far right or anti vaxer.
