Quote from: Jell 0 Biafra on November 02, 2024, 01:07:10 AMWhy get the flu jab but not the covid? If anything, I'd be going the other way.

I'd planned on both. Getting the flu one at work this week. So the other depends on when I bother my lazy arse to get it done. Did both at the same time last year for convenience.

Does recent reports  of vaccine damage and the ultimate safety of the vaccines  ( which lets face it , we don't  really know yet) , not make you worried    about getting another covid  jab?

We certainly do know a lot about the damage caused by Covid, and there is little evidence that damage of vaccines is in any way on a comparable scale. There have been billions of Covid vaccines, yet very few problems and the link between the vaccine and the people with problems is unclear in many cases.
This is a bit like the seat belt debate concentrating on the possible of the seat belt not opening or of having a sore shoulder if it prevents you flying through the windscreen.

I have a mate who had his head turned by antivaxxers in his extended circle once he had young kids back in the 00s (we're talking MMR etc). We actually had to stop discussing it because he got so upset when I pointed out the illogical

Some people are just wired differently I guess.

The greatest majority of people that I know who questioned the mRNA Covid vaccines ( I'd guess you would call then Antivaxxers) have no issue with MMR,flu vaccines etc.
    One simple (actually 2) questions for you. Do you think there was enough clinical evidence at the time to justify administering the covid vaccine to under 12's?
    If those coercive factors weren't in play( like children not being allowed to attend class) would you do it again?

Quote from: Milltown Row2 on November 24, 2024, 12:26:19 PMIs anyone giving CE any chance today?

I liked their approach last day out

What would the tactics be to stop the brothers?

Ec are 4/6 CE 2/1. 13/2 for a draw. Handicap is +1.
    I think there is a bit of value in 2/1 for CE .

Quote from: downtothecore on November 10, 2024, 08:35:49 AMCrosserlough showed they are fine team and probably the best to come out cavan I have seen in last 15 years. They should dominate Cavan championship for a few years and have good go at winning Ulster in the near future. Kilcoo experience won it last night but know they have to improve if they are to compete to win any further games this year.

Kilcoo on the way down, all clubs domination die down after a period

Couldn't pick a winner at the minute

I think that is very true. With Corofin knocked out I assume kilcoo will be the bookies favourites for not just Ulster but also the AI.
    Don't think that's justified. In the past maybe, but some of their most experienced players getting on a bit in age. Definitely not at their best. Eugene Brannigan, usually a star performer was substituted. Lacey not afraid to make the big calls. They can definitively improve but I have my doubts.
    Saying that Crosserlough are a top team, much better team I thought.
     As you say wide open at this stage.

Quote from: samuel maguire on August 22, 2024, 10:30:12 AMI think the whole trans stuff is a load of shite myself. These people are mentally ill in a lot of the cases.
Me too but sure as long as they aren't doing any harm it wouldn't annoy me too much. If you want to start chopping bits off yourself and wearing dresses go for it.

didnt know you boys had degrees or any sort of expertise in the area of mental health.

Honestly, on this matter I'd sooner trust the instincts and intuitions of the "unqualified".

Trans hasn't become normalised due to us reaching the next stage of human evolution. It has become normalised because it has been lobbied, marketed and monitised, through an industry that is given credence by mental health professionals.

The most disturbing thing though isn't that the industry exists. It's that people who in most other facets of life are pragmatic and logical, place mental health professionals on the same pedestal we used to place priests: ie they're the good guys, the incorruptibles.

That didn't turn out so well.

I actually agree with you on all of this. Interesting to see how rapid these gender identity changes have been introduced/adopted. You're really only talking about a handful of years.

Quote from: Truthsayer on August 01, 2024, 07:15:35 PMTotally had my fill of Irish boxers being robbed in the Olympics. So corrupt. That girl Morehouse was totally cheated there. Definitely won the first and second rounds. A hometown decision. Olympics and boxing need to part company.

Absolutely scandalous. Blatantly obvious she won.
