Parents,

You may have heard about or even seen clips from the UK Covid "inquiry" aka circus this week where it was suggested that children were deliberately infected.

The Irish government wants to assure you that nothing untoward like that happened here as our private COVID evaluation will find.

And no we're not going to change anything.

And no you still can't have the boosters.

Or the better vaccine Novavax.

Or antivirals

And don't bother testing it's too late now really anyway

Enjoy

Apologies once again.

Just a heads up parents. I know we told you that kids aren't really impacted and so we denied them boosters even though they were recommended by the AAP for all 6m+

But actually it turns out each reinfection doubles their risk of long Covid.

Bit of a miscalculation there. Sorry about that.

Ironically the MAHAs advocate for the maximal infection of children with brain and immune system damaging SARS2. Which leads to more pain and fevers. And all the other pathogens which are strongly linked to autism. Worsened by air pollution, also linked to autism. CLEAN THE AIR IN SCHOOLS

CMO Ireland (parody) @cmoireland.bsky.social · 16d

It's time to put HEPA filters in classrooms

Allow all Irish people the best vaccine Novavax.

Stop lying to people that only 60+ or 80+ need to worry about Covid when we know women in 40s are at highest risk of long Covid and long Covid in children has now overtaken asthma as no.1 chronic illness

⚡Please watch this powerful, emotive & furious speech by Violet Affleck at #UNGA80

She rightly states that for children there has been a neglect of the highest order, even though we have the tech

"Our present is being stolen in front of our eyes"

👉Clean Air is a human right

Yesterday, history happened at the UN: For the first time hundreds of orgs signed a global pledge declaring that healthy indoor air is a human right.

Healthy indoor air is a key tool for preventing pandemics, building climate resilience, and increasing health equity. We need it everywhere!

Adelaide specialists continue battle over long Covid.

One Adelaide clinic is still seeing 20–40 patients daily with fatigue, brain fog or muscle weakness from long Covid.

Between 5–10% diagnosed with Covid face long-term symptoms that severely disrupt their lives.

Please note a vaccine alone WILL NOT PROTECT YOU. Wear a respirator with a good seal, N95 or better, for as long as you can. Remember that covid is airborne *and* can linger in spaces for several hours after people have left. #covidsafety #covidisnotover

Here in the UK we don't need an RFK to do vaccine denial, because our government in its infinite wisdom has already decided not to offer Covid vaccination on the NHS to under-75s. Utterly moronic. We are heading for another round of major Covid distress before too long.

Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran.com · 29d

PSA: If you haven’t yet, it may be a good idea to get your COVID shot this week.

Reports suggest that CDC may further restrict COVID vaccine access to people aged 75 and up, unless you have an condition.

The committee that advises the CDC on vaccines meets this Thursday.

RFK Jr.’s CDC may limit COVID shots to 75 and up, claim they killed kids

A battle is brewing over mRNA vaccines, which could intensify backlash against Kennedy.

How can we trust anyone with nuclear power? It's clear no one is left in the world who knows what the f they're doing. We're living in Idiocracy now. Everyone's freely allowing themselves to be repeatedly infected several times a year with a brain damaging SARS virus for one thing.

And we just leave a vacuum for antivaxxers to fill.. and completely ignore major studies coming out daily since decision to live with Covid like the flu that confirm that's been a huge mistake.

Why is it that the cardiovascular harm of Covid can be discussed openly on US media, but in Ireland we get a tweet but no news report?

The HSE FADA report gets zero coverage.

The fact women in 40s are at highest risk of long Covid gets zero coverage, high risk of cardiovascular harm.

We're still seeing great promise of COVID nasal vaccines with various vectors, preventing infection and transmission, but the HHS cancellation of US support will very likely derail the progress that has been made
