Ah ya.

Let's just ignore deaths and serious side effects associated with the vaccines as they don't suit the narrative.

https://7news.com.au/lifestyle/health-wellbeing/brisbane-teen-reportedly-develops-blood-clots-after-astrazeneca-covid-19-vaccine-c-2868616

How many 18 year olds have died from Covid or being seriously impacted in Australia?

Ah sure fit and healthy people dying and getting serious side effects from the vaccine is all a big laugh.

It's very simple, if you believe not taking the vaccine is safer than catching and passing on the virus to others then don't take it. But with that I'd prefer that you self isolate and avoid contact with others that are likely to have serious issues should they catch the virus.

I'd say with your personality self isolating is very easy, I doubt very much you are in contact, physically with anyone  ;)

The vulnerable have been vaccinated for a number of months now and Covid deaths have fallen off a cliff.

The impact of it on under 40s is negligible at best and very dangerous at worst.

There's also this:

That doesn't suits the narrative though.

The totalitarians aren't interested in anything that doesn't comply with their propaganda.

Vaccines have their uses for the vulnerable categories (the elderly and medically compromised), apart from that their effect is negligible at the very best and downright dangerous at the worst.

It's amazing how the convenience theorists are so close minded, hardly the characteristics of sensible and compassionate people.

Russia currently occupies parts of three sovereign countries.

Russia is in no way a victim of any propaganda campaign, it is a dangerous, rotten, colonialist state, just like Israel is.

Cuba, Afghanistan, Iraq off the top of my head.

If you look at any of these proxy wars between Russia and America, you will generally find Russia are on the right side of it.

But it's the Russians who are the bad guys according to the West.

Right.

Both bad in my view, most superpowers are, stick China on that list too.

Russia are far less of an evil than the USA who are the root cause of all that's wrong in the Middle East and Central America.

The correct answer to this is zero deaths in the 10-19 age group in Australia but an 18 year old girl who was fit and healthy at the time of her vaccine nearly died as a result.

https://www.health.gov.au/resources/covid-19-deaths-by-age-group-and-sex

But let's just ignore that fact as it doesn't suit the narrative.

For fit and healthy under 40s the vaccine seems to be completely negligible but let's have the zealots deny the same science they put up when it suits their narrative.

I think 6 is the only position Harte gets a start to be honest, suits his game, intelligent, good passer, rarely gives it away. Does he have a rival at CHB?

I think he's better at wing back than centre back. Don't think he's a hard enough defender to hold the middle. O'Neill is probably the best option there for now but will need to cut some of the nonsense out.

How do you fit more than 2 of McCurry/Bradley/Brennan/McAliskey/Canavan/O'Neill into a team?

You just can't do it in the modern game I'm afraid and that's where Logan and Dooher are going to have a problem. They are not going to keep all them men happy, Harte got blamed for not utilising those players but they are all to similar in style, small, skillful and elusive but they lack the physicality particularly inside. So it basically boils down to who the management rate and I think Dooher and Logan rate Bradley the highest out of that lot. Harte generally preferred McCurry and McAliskey.

McShane is the key though, he gives us something different inside and hopefully he can return quickly and to his 2019 form. We really lack an alternative there.

I would have to say things aren't looking good for McNulty if he wasn't making the squad at the weekend and was fit. He is the most obvious replacement for McShane and we had McKenna and R Donnelly playing inside on Saturday despite neither of them being inside forwards.

I've yet to see anyone asking for this. The issue some people have raised (and I'm certainly not being critical after one game but we're allowed to discuss these things) is that Saturday's team included McGeary, Meyler and Richie Donnelly in the forward line, none of whom are natural forwards. When you add to this a midfield of Kennedy and Burns, with Cassidy and O'Neill as your wing backs, that is a fairly defensive team. A lot of people would like to see at least one and possibly two of the guys you mention on from the start and I think it's quite possible we'll get that this weekend.

I agree but I think the team was picked with Donegal in mind, a big physical side as we've been bullied in recent matches. If you look at a lot of the teams posters out forward here, some might have 3 or 4 of those lads starting. The reality is it will be, possibly two.

Cassidy and Harte would be two attacking half backs in my view. Burns wouldn't really be a defensive option at midfield though I don't think he warrants his starting spot.

At the end of the day I don't think the selection backfired that much. A fairly ridiculous sending off had a big impact on the game.

The effects of the Famine lasted several generations in Ireland. Israel is a case of collective Holocaust trauma.
This drives the violence.  This paper is worth a read if you have the time.

https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/701010

I dont think Ireland spent those generations creating Ghettos, stealing lands and indiscriminately blowing civilians to pieces. There are evil forces in Israel that are using the holocaust to further their own goals. Its is disgusting that a people so wronged could turn around and do the same thing to another people, a people who were victims of vile propaganda and now using that propaganda style to demonise Palestinians, and to justify horrendous war crimes. Goebbels would be impressed if he was here to see it. It is also disgusting that the UN (especially the Americans) learn nothing from the history of WW2 and fail to act against such a heinous regime as Israel.

The West are very adept in driving a propaganda campaign against Russia but like to turn a blind eye to what their Zionist buddies get up to in Israel.

You see all the hysteria about Trump, all those American presidents - they're all the same - vultures. Biden should hang is head in shame.

https://www.rt.com/news/523566-vaccine-side-effects-sweden-astrazeneca/

An official tally of suspected side effects resulting from Covid vaccination in Sweden has surpassed 30,000, with the majority of cases occurring in people inoculated with AstraZeneca's shot.
According to the Swedish Medical Products Agency, as of last week, the Scandinavian nation had received 31,844 reports of adverse reactions linked to the rollout of Covid-19 vaccines. Sweden is currently offering three variants of the drug. There are currently 2,103 reports of side effects from the Moderna shot, while the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine has been associated with 9,117 health issues. But the number of suspected adverse reactions from the two shots seems relatively small when compared to the 19,961 reports linked to AstraZeneca's Vaxzevria.

The most common side effects for all three drugs were fever and headache. Other reported adverse reactions included nausea, joint pain, and dizziness.

Notably, the AstraZeneca shot only accounts for about 26% of the roughly 2.7 million vaccines that have been administered so far in Sweden, but makes up around 63% of the side effects reports.

Of the nearly 32,000 reports, 663 cases have been registered where it's unclear which vaccine was administered. Two-thirds of the reports have been submitted by the general public. The agency cautioned that individual reports do not necessarily demonstrate a correlation between the medical episode and the vaccine.

Ebba Hallberg, an official with the Medical Products Agency, told Swedish media that it was unusual to receive so many reports of side effects, but noted that the figure was likely high because of public focus on the new vaccines. Healthcare providers are likely only reporting more "serious" side effects, the official theorized. Hallberg also said that it was possible that AstraZeneca was overrepresented in the data because the shot was given to many young people and healthcare workers, who are more tech-savvy and would therefore be more likely to report an issue.

According to one Swedish outlet, the agency has received more reports of suspected side effects over the past several months than it typically does over four years.

In March, Sweden was one of several nations to temporarily suspend the use of the AstraZeneca jab, following reports of abnormal blood clotting in recipients. AstraZeneca, as well as the European Medicines Agency, have insisted that the vaccine is safe after it came under scrutiny.


Since then, new reports have linked the drug to severe medical episodes, and even death. Earlier this month, a 35-year-old female medical worker in Vietnam died from anaphylaxis after being injected with the jab, in what has been described as a "very rare" case of adverse reaction to the vaccine.

I think it's just frustration at the much a muchness players. These players are all top level, don't make that mistake but sometimes Tyrone could be a bit more adventurous in picking an attacking player over say, one of the attritional men. But it's not a normal situation at present.

Can't really say much, the new management have been dealt a tricky enough task. 4 Ulster clashes in a row in your first 4 games (assuming no qualification in league) is hard to implement anything other than what you know. You are straight into a dogfight and no matter what they say, they won't want to make a habit of losing straight in the door.

Our forward line on Saturday had 4 defenders in it.

Factually incorrect, the two Donnelly's have played the vast amount of their football at either midfield or the half forward line. I've never seen Richie Donnelly playing in defence at any level for Tyrone or Trillick.

Indeed Michael Cassidy and Peter Harte who were named in defence have played a lot of their football in the forward line through their careers.

Meyler scored a point on Saturday, had another ruled out after it was called back for a free that was then pointed by Donaghy.

He contributed that while doing a great job on Ryan McHugh.

McGeary broke up a serious amount of play in the middle of the pitch and was linking our attacks extremely well and also scored a good point in the first half.

It's clear some people obviously never kicked a ball in their lives.

McGeary and Meyler were easily two of our best players Saturday so it's bizarre to single them out for criticism.

Managers love McGeary because of the intensity he brings. It's a throwback to the teams of the noughties the way he is able to close the space and make contact. These are great qualities and he can also take a score, and he's just been appointed vice captain so Logan and Dooher clearly rate him highly. However he does consistently give away cheap free kicks and pick up bookings - there's no point in him looking to the ref in frustration every time this happens, he needs to clean up his tackling style or at least stop giving away frees in the scoring zone.

Meyler is by all accounts the fittest player in the panel and has proven himself over the past few years to be our go to man marker for the opposition's danger man in the middle third. He's done effective jobs on the likes of McHugh, Fenton and Sean O'Shea.

So I do think both lads are good players and worthy of a place in the team but don't think both offer enough of a scoring threat to take up two forward positions. One should be named at wing back and one as wing forward. That then leaves us with 5 positions to fill with out and out forwards who can contribute on the scoreboard while also working back when required.

Your forwards don't necessarily need to be scorers though. It's certainly something both Meyler and McGeary need to improve but you look at other teams and scores can come from everywhere. Donegal have guys like Mogan and Ban Gallagher who can get scores from defence, Dublin have had Keegan and Durcan etc. McKenna for instance missed about four or five great chances Saturday.

Rather than McGeary and Meyler not getting the scores (it's not really what they are in the team for) - it's the likes of Harte, Donnelly and McKenna who were the disappointments in that regard.

I do agree we need more of a scoring threat in the team, positions are really not that relevant anymore - both McGeary and Meyler are in the team to play certain roles regardless of where they are named. The team named Saturday was a physical one to combat Donegal's size I think. I can see at least one, if not two of Brennan, McCurry, Bradley, McAlsikey, Canavan starting against Armagh.
