Isn't it funny how rural White people vaccination rates are low because they are dumb, but inner city African-Americans have a low vaccine rate because the system is discriminating against them.

Being condescending to rural Trump voters isn't going to help.

Ok, tell us how to get through to rural white people who think Covid is either a hoax or exaggerated or the measures and safeguards are an affront to their "freedom" and who place far more trust and faith in the pundits and politicians who tell them so rather than medical and public health scientists and professionals? Or rural white people who, according to that Breitbart guy, won't get vaccinated out of spite because Joe Biden wants them to and Howard f**king Stern was mocking some idiotic talk radio hosts and politicians who died after loudly campaigning on their shows for months about how it was all bullshit?

Well getting TikTok "celebrities" into the White House to promote it is not going to do it. Personally I think social media is to blame. Platforms do not do enough to shut down dangerous misinformation.

Linking vaccine scepticism with Trump (who infact is extremely pro-vaccine) and calling Trumpers dumb because of it, only serves to exaggerate the problem.

I fully agree on the social media misinformation. Across the board. Not just vaccines.

As for Trump, he is not "extremely pro-vaccine". You'd think he should be, given the moves his administration, to their rare credit, made to help facilitate the development. He, a man who never hesitates to very loudly and forcefully incite and insult and lie, has been very half-hearted in his appeals to the public to take it, and this goes along with his whole treatment of the pandemic while in office as an election-year inconvenience to be wished away, rather than faced head-on and, if he'd had a lick of sense, harnessed to his benefit to get re-elected. But Trump can't see past the end of his own nose with his unending need for validation and hero worship from his supporters. And as his base is anti-vaccine and anti-mask and see it all as hype for whatever end, he can't be seen to push hard against them.

As for calling Trump supporters dumb, well much of their conduct and rhetoric warrants it. Put it this way, if I was to look over on some of the threads about the north, are all of your postings there (assuming you comment on them) about loyalists and unionists nice and non-insulting?

Controversial point of opinion here by some "free thinkers". But if you disagree with it, that's proof of your confirmation bias. If these authors are not immediately platformed by the corrupt MSM, it will just prove how cancel culture has corrupted the media. Where's the balance?!

Defibrillators are a FIB!
By Toby Dai Young, Ivor McDinn and Auntie Vaxx
The Dictator Magazine, September 28th, 2021

The narrative that defibrillators are life saving devices has gained wide traction for many years now. Here is why that narrative is a lie.

Defibrillators were created by Big Medical Device and are a money making racket! Big Medical Device is coining it in from them. This is a multi-billion dollar industry. Defibrillators cost big money and the vast majority of them never get used. The dogs on the street know that those who say they are needed have skin in the game, they're corrupt and paid off.

What's the use rate for defibrillators? 0.003%? They're pointless. The risk/balance calculation is categorically in favour of not having them. Exercise is good for you, not bad for you! Those who call for defibrillators to be compulsory at sports clubs and schools and anywhere where people go to exercise are therefore saying that exercise is bad for you! Liars!

Defibrillators are an infringement on personal freedom. Nobody asked Christian Eriksen whether he wanted to have electricity shot through him. That's coercion, it's tyranny.

There's no evidence that defibrillators work. There's no evidence that a defibrillator saved Christian Eriksen. Did he recover because of a defibrillator, or WITH a defibrillator? Was it all just a big coincidence? Was he even ill at all? He was probably just tired!

People who defibrillators are used on still die. Therefore defibrillators don't work.

How many people die playing sport? Very few. Almost nobody. People need to accept a small amount of risk. Death is part of life. We should not fear death.

There is no data on the long term safety of defibrillators. How do we do know that all that electricity won't lead to much worse health problems in the future? Nobody can say they won't.

Defibrillators pump radiation and 5G technology through people. We know that radiation and 5G technology is part of the new world order plan for The Great Reset and one world government.

Defibrillators are heart nappies. Whatever happened to all the real men? Can't the woke snowflakes play football without presuming they might die? We're sick of the woke fascists and health mafia telling everybody they need defibrillators. It's virtue signalling nonsense.

We're not anti-defibrillator, we're defibrillator-hesitant.

Those who refuse to respect our opinion are fascists! And we're sick of being talked DOWN TO by the defibrillator police!

We're just asking questions! Do your own resertch!

New drug on the horizon, this would do a lot of good as it works early, and keeps you out of hospital. 

If the US Food and Drug Administration authorises the drug, called molnupiravir, it would be the first treatment of its kind — a twice-daily pill prescribed for five days to patients who have recently been diagnosed with Covid-19.

The US pharmaceuticals company Merck said on Friday that it had stopped the phase 3 clinical trial early after an interim analysis showed that 7.3 per cent of patients on the drug had died or been hospitalised, versus 14.1 per cent of those receiving a placebo

ROI weekly update. Good drop on cases this week, small rise on those in hospital.

8968 cases (353 fewer than last week)
319 in hospital (23 more than a week ago)
60 in ICU ( 5 fewer than last Sunday)

Due for a weekend away next week in Dublin.. was just wondering what the restrictions are down south? Do you need to book everywhere (restaurants, pubs etc) and do you need your vaccine card for places to get in?
