1- “.. with COVID-19 infection rates rising despite Ireland boasting one of the highest vaccination rates in the world, ministers scrambled to put some mitigation measures in place to minimise any further spread and keep the whole economy open.”

Welp.

2- So now they’re back to stupid shit..👇

“..facemasks should be worn at all times other than when people are dancing, drinking or eating, and clubgoers must also stay one metre apart in a supervised queue at the bar to order a drink.”
3- More. Let’s just outlaw fun.,👇

“Neither should they encourage fans to sing along, the guidelines said.”
4- So much for the spontaneous “Let’s go to the pub”.

“Nights out will also be less spontaneous, with anyone attending a nightclub required to buy a ticket online at least one hour in advance to assist with contact tracing,..”
5- And of course you still must be vax’d .

“The measures, which include the continued requirement for vaccine certificates to gain entry to pubs, restaurants, nightclubs and indoor live entertainment venues, are likely to last until at least February,
6- To recap, the abject failure of vaccines to do their job leads to renewal of dumb non-pharmaceutical interventions.

But of course you still must have your vax certificate.

Makes perfect sense.

And.. another Arizona Cardinal (the head coach) goes down with a breakthrough COVID case.

The Cardinals are 100% vaccinated.
PS- Apparently not just the head coach.
PS2- The Cardinals were on the cusp of “intensive protocols”, so perhaps we’ll see what that is.

1- First of all, framing that Biden is a victim of circumstance is absurd.

But wait, there's more lunacy (cont).
2- Except for two notable Senators that media and activists chase with Kayaks and chase into bathrooms...

...who are blocking Biden's entire legislative agenda, sure..👇🏽
3- It sure is good to be Dem.

You don't CAUSE anything. You just "preside over" or "face criticism" for your completely self-made disasters.

1- "The number of COVID-19 infections in Maine has jumped 35 percent since July 1.."

I can #SaveYouAClick re why this is happening. The vaccine effectiveness wanes rapidly over time.

pressherald.com/2021/10/07/qa-…
2- "While Maine has among the highest vaccination rates in the nation, some fully vaccinated people are still contracting the coronavirus – and some have been hospitalized or died."

As with all these stories, first acknowledge the obvious. Then spring to the defense.
3- "That’s because the vaccines do not prevent infection with the coronavirus. Instead, vaccines are designed to teach the body how to fight off an infection by triggering an aggressive immune system response that will hopefully prevent severe illness."

That's not what was sold.

1- Welp this is quite something, worth threading.

"The growing split between Biden’s team and outside health experts on boosters threatens to disrupt a key source of support the administration has relied on to sell its vaccination drive to the American public."

Rut Roh.
2- "It undermines credibility not just for [federal health] agencies but for the administration overall,” said Irwin Redlener, director of the Pandemic Resource and Response Initiative at Columbia University. “Somebody needs a communication lesson. Maybe many people do.”

Ouch.
3- "The Sept. 27 call was originally planned for the week before. The White House abruptly rescheduled it after the CDC’s independent vaccine advisory committee recommended that the Pfizer-BioNTech booster be reserved for high-risk groups, including the elderly."

Clown show.

1- “Moreland, who was activated for the first time this season against the Panthers, is the sixth Texans player to be sidelined due to an illness.”

Lol, the memo must have gone out to stop calling it COVID.

2- Yes, what on Earth could this mysterious “illness” be.

Siri- How do I stop bringing attention to high # of breakthrough cases in almost all-vax’d NFL?

Siri response: 👇 Image
