I reckon you smell your own shit and think it smells great

I'm all for his right to smell his own shit, unfortunately he's intent on making others smell it too

That's actually what the dogmatic posters like yourself and Milltown do.

Our CMO keeps moving the goalposts

Only 5 weeks ago the vaccines were our way out of this. Only today he said the vaccines are not the way out of this.
Why is he giving radio interviews is beyond me. Advise the government and give a briefing every week. But when he is on every airwave most days is annoying

3 cases in Omagh Fermanagh

Milltown have you got the slippers on. I'd say you haven't done much in a year.

Think you'll find it's the virus and it's variants moving the goalposts, not the CMO

And they do so because they were let by governments all around the world

The virus and its variants don't care about your feelings

Word of the day alert

But he said in January vaccines were the way out?

What has changed now?

Sure there has been no reported SA cases in Northern Ireland

Did he seriously think it wouldn't mutate?

He is enjoying his new found fame.

Why not give people hope instead of the scaremongering?

The CMO deals in facts and bases his comments on his medical experience and knowledge. You'd have to be a sadist to enjoy going on the national airwaves everyday to announce how many people have been infected, died, are in ICU beds etc because of Covid.

It's people's impatience to end the lockdown in December that pressured the government (and opposition TDs) in Ireland to end the lockdown (against NPHET'S advice) in December. We all know how that went!

You would hope people might act more responsibly this time and the government will end the lockdown based on Covid figures/vaccinations rather than pick a date in 4/6 weeks timer as people want to go out drinking on Paddy's day

More ascribing of bad faith - which itself is a textbook bad faith strategy

Let's be clear why you do that - it's to encourage people not to listen to him

"Sure there have been no reported SA cases in NI"

Do you seriously think that will remain the case?

It's likely in Ireland because it certainly is in Britain and it's likely plentiful in Europe, big outbreak of it in Austria over the last few days

Vaccines are part of the way out

When Sam McConkey was on radio this time yesterday it seems all those who were desperate to slate him didn't even listen to what he said

He said we need a 3 to 5 year PLAN to deal with Covid - and we DO - this does not necessarily mean lockdowns at all - it won't if the public health experts are actually listened to and we do what we need to do

The alternative is to say "don't plan"

Which would be really f**king dumb

What sort of person wants no plan

A lot of people online, by the looks of things, presuming all of them are real

But sure we all know internet experts are the real experts, don't we

"Experts" like Professor Parkinson and Professor MacKenna and Professor 62942482

"Experts" like McConkey have a seriously bad record of what they had said so far.

He is far from credible but bizarrely seems to be given a platfrom to get it wrong again and again and again.

[sid waddell]

McConkey has been one of the most responsible public voices during the whole thing

We need much, much more of him and much, much less clueless internet blowhards like you

[Rossfan]

Can ye all PLEASE put that poster on IGNORE?
Thanks.

Look at princess lobbying posters to do what he can't even do himself.

Absolutely pathetic.

As I told you already he's been less than responsible with his over the top death predictions.

Last week he came on the news talking about vaccines and he literally made zero sense. Contradicted himself a few times, was rambling a lot and mumbling answers. A complete and utter bluffer

He has been unbelievably wrong and out of touch.

What planet are you living on Sid?

On the contrary, he was spelling out what could happen - and he was entirely correct to do so

That's proper, responsible public messaging

You're an internet blowhard who thinks they know more than than McConkey

You should get onto the Royal College of Surgeons, see if they agree

This is Goebbels levels of propaganda.

McConkey has zero credibility at this point.
