Personally I would aim for 100 max Vit D, and not take supplements when we are in the sunnier half of year. Plus consider occasionally taking vit K with it. I read somewhere along the line it CAN make blood sluggish. I take very moderate amounts and roll up my sleeves when outdoors and sunbathe for a while each day when summer comes.

I think non use of antibiotics to treat secondary bacterial infections when Covid struck may be eventually recognised as a problem. Plus other things.

I saw that. The article even acknowledged how small the risk to young children from Covid. But sure stick it into their arm. I'm not going to say any more about what I think about that.

One would want to be off their trolley to consider putting that soup into an infant. They are scraping the barrel now for the pharma and doctors on this cold.

Don't know what thread to put it in, but if you have a subscription to the Indo you can read all about how Professor Martin Cormican was against many of the measures NPHET took, but his arguments were not listened to - in my opinion, he should have eschewed his fancy appointment and spoken out earlier before so much damage was done. I'm thinking especially of the terrible funerals, with people watching their immediate family buried via Zoom. And the elderly deprived of family contact for long periods of time. Plus all the children... anyway, it's almost unbelievable to think back.

Yet another who speaks out, too little, too late.
He gets no 'pass' from me.
He is as culpable as the rest, and probably even more so as he knew how wrong it all was.

I saw my dad three times from the nursing home lockdown in February 2020 till he died in October 2020.

There were times when he didn’t know me anyway but this made it worse and I think the last time I saw him (through his room window while I was outside) just confused him n
more.

I know we had to do something for Covid but did we do what we did purely for good headlines (seen to be doing something; rather than doing something) - or was it actually led by good science?

I used to think the latter but I no longer do. I’ll take whatever booster is going as it’s harmless to me, and the government might go back to certification for travel etc - but is it effective ? I doubt it.

I'm so sorry about your Dad. It must have been absolutely horrible not to be able to visit him properly. I sometimes still can't believe how cruel things were. It was trauma for people.

On an aside, I've seen interesting studies recently that show grandparents immunity is kept strong by their grandchildren. That was another cruelty. Stopping grandparents hugging their grandchildren. So many weirdnesses.

I know there was a huge sense of urgency and alarm - but how much of it was fabricated? Yale professor Ioannidis had his low IFR study done in May 2020 and it has proved correct.

A lot of people are gradually changing their minds on things. I don't feel cross about people having been scared into beliefs. My closest friend was crying at me for not taking the shots, she thought I would die because of not taking it. So I know people were very caught up.

I will never take a Covid vaccine. And if they reintroduce discrimination against people like me I will chain myself to the railings at Dail Eireann.

How can it be wrong to stop/curtail COVID spreading in nursing homes??


The government this week,has refused to publish and are attempting to coverup a 500 page report into the disaster that unfolded in a single nursing home....we have worst shower of cunts ever to run a country over us here

I guess this exposes what he was really saying at the time

Another conspiracy theory goes mainstream. How is disinformation going to be managed at all. Do you remember when you were a fascist loon for saying this?

Much as I hate to admit it, I'm not the FBI/ US Energy Department 😔

The article says from research. Here are a couple of screenshots though the article is long and I can't find the share token I read it with now. Things move on fairly fast in my world, Setanta!! 😊

It's just I deeply distrust anything comes out from the US intelligence community,and I question the ability of most western media (including our own)to report neutrally on Chinese affairs


I don't discount the theory,feel the one china wanted kill it's old from the 1 child era to be plausible....but all that glitters isn't gold as regards info on conspiracies

Being leaked from a lab doesn't imply on purpose. My opinion is accidentally or negligently leaked. It's crazy that people are allowed to work in such dangerous ways with viruses. I also think it was US funded research but no mention of that
Purposely leaking would be a whole other level of evil and I have not considered that as likely.

The US are actively doing research on omnicron varient,to establish why it's less deadly than older ones.....theres research been done on commoncold with 50 years to try find a cure/eradication of it



The theory roughly runs,china because of its historical 1 child policy now has an excess of pensioners Vs workers and wanted to curtail it's worst demographic crisis in nursing homes



Though any evidence I ever seen,suggest it was a pangolin,what ate a bat and infected a worker from that food market causing the first superspreader event.....the search of protein from wildlife could be traced back to a bad swine-flu outbreak in 2018/early 2019 and mass culling of Chinese pigs (if yous can recall Chinese factory inspectors turned up here during beef protests summer 2019 to inspect meat factories)......so the likelyhood of it being from eating wildlife always seemed to most practible

For reasons I came across this article from October 2020 just now. It's very poignant to think this man lost his really great job, removed by the HSE, and he was completely correct with what he said. Dr Martin Feeley. I hope he is well and happy.

https://m.independent.ie/world-news/cor ... 85808.html
Dr Martin Feeley changed the course of the national conversation when he said we'd lost perspective on the threat of the virus and needed to take a different approach at this stage of the pandemic. The brutal social and economic costs are outweighing the public health benefits, he believes.

He called for an end to "draconian" restrictions to allow the young to be free to: "Live a life, rather than just exist a life."

Dr Feeley's controversial view came at a heavy personal cost - he lost his role as clinical director of the Dublin Midlands Hospital Group, when the HSE said his position was untenable. Of that, he says he has "no regrets".

His much-talked-about appearance on RTÉ's Prime Time on Tuesday was powerful, as his stance had an intelligence and kindness at its core - a streak of what Martin Luther King called "tough-minded tender-heartedness".

One stark truth hit home like a missile. "I can tell you, the mood of the country is depressed," he told Miriam O'Callaghan. "Someone has to stand up for these people.

What exactly did he mean by that assessment of the country's psyche?

"The country is depressed," he explained in an interview with the Sunday Independent. "They're depressed - and what is even worse, individuals are scared, they are frightened. It's partly fear. People are living in abject fear. We are in a panic.

"If the Spanish Flu was sweeping across the country, it would be good to be frightened, it would mean people would mind themselves. But the Spanish Flu is not sweeping across the country. This is not an indiscriminate killer - we know now it is a condition that discriminates heavily against people we can identify."

Originally from Co Roscommon, the doctor says he has heard reports from the north-west of concern about the rate of suicide in the region. "Suicide is the ultimate metric of depression. The real picture of it won't emerge for another two years. This is the tip of the iceberg that doesn't accurately describe what is under the water.

"I am just saying: we should look at the cost - no-one is looking at the cost. Not just money, although that's a part of it. It's the lifestyle, the cost to quality of life, to youth.

I remember him on the tonight show and spoke well. That time it was Matt Cooper iirc who interviewed him.
He is doing just fine career wise I’m sure, who would want to be a shill.

He is talking to Niall Boylan on classic hits right now, check out the podcast when it's out later.

Niall was also the ONLY journalist on Radio talking honestly about this - an absolute disgrace and RTE should be ashamed.

In case you have not heard the latest. Some journalist who I don't know (Isabel something), who apparently everyone hates, disclosed thousands of WhatsApp messages she got screenshots of from Matt Hancock.

And you can be sure the same fascist collusion between government and media went on here. It was a militarised operation. I honestly don't think most people have the foggiest notion how sinister the past three years were. Everybody just wants to go back to the holidays, and popping in for a bite, and pints. But you have come through an authoritarian extravaganza and don't think they won't turn it back on when it suits...to save the planet or some such bollox. And next time you may not be willing to do the thing they insist you must do.

Hopefully this inquiry will establish why the government let it get so bad,no island in the world suffered like Ireland did..... thousands upon thousands of people needlessly dead,and they done feck all to try slow it down from coming into the country.

Went as far as to introduce a taxbreak to encourage socialising in middle of a pandemic, horrible shower of cunts running this country
