Nothing to do with them making such a mess of vaccinations then? You certainly can't accuse Bojo of that.

She said the White House was "reviewing" Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which grants social media companies legal immunity for content which users publish on their platforms.

Who says it's misinformation though? Because it goes against the official government statement?

In that case, anyone tweeting anything contrary to the official British government statement regarding  Ballymurphy, Bloody Sunday, Aidan McAnespie etc etc, is spreading misinformation too, and therefore need silenced?

"Cancel culture" is one thing but this is potentially very insidious, be careful what you wish for!

The five-day moving average of cases has increased from 300 to 1,189 cases per day over one month

Donegal has 725 per 100,000; Louth is 474 per 100,000; Dublin is at 307 per 100,000; Limerick stands at 258 per 100,000; and Galway has 257 per 100,000
Tánaiste Leo Varadkar said earlier on Wednesday that he expects the fourth wave of Covid-19, driven by the Delta variant, to peak at 3,000 to 4,000 cases per day but with very low hospitalisation and death numbers.

Obviously these new variants are going to have less deaths.

Is there a big difference in the mortality rates on the new variants? i.e. is Delta more deadly than the beta etc. i know death rates are lower now because of the vaccine as a) if you are vaccinated the likelihood is you will not be as sick, b) treatments have improved significantly and c) a greater proportion of the people catching covid now are now more likely to be younger so are naturally less likely to be seriously ill.

Hopefully reading this is a wake up call for all those who refuse the vaccine.

So is this also saying 40% of those admitted to hospital with Covid have had the vaccine?

Yeah, good point. But they conveniently didn't mention that bit.

Because it might not be correct. The 40% would also include people with only one shot. Regardless of that. 40% v 60% is a significant difference.

Plenty of people have not got the second dose, which is daft, why go and get one dose and then say, nah I'll not bother with the second? Nuts

Either get no vaccine or get both
