Those that cannot take the vaccines for medical reasons are being discriminated against also. Not just people, like myself, who won't be coerced into taking an experimental vaccine for something that doesn't affect the vast majority of the population.

But the selfishness of those who refuse to take the vaccine does affect others and thousands in this country have died of Covid. Last week someone requiring a transplant had to have their surgery postponed because of a lack of available ICU beds being taken up by COvid patients, more than half of whom wouldn't get vaccinated as required.

If those who insist that they don't want to be vaccinated despite the medical advice were to similarly forgo any medical advice for treatment in an ICU bed then fair enough, but they seem to want to follow medical guidelines when it suits them and meanwhile screw everybody else

How do you know that those unvaccinated didn't have a medical reason not to get vaccinated?

One person had surgery postponed, do you know that young healthy people have died directly from taking the vaccine when covid would probably have been no real problem for them?

Bollocks. Hospital staff are run into the ground and large numbers on sick leave.
The government has had 16 months to sort out emergency treatment services and did feck all.

I had a lovely pint in Dennehy's last night. Definitely the nicest pub on Cornmarket Street.

Don't answer if you don't want to, but how much money do you spend a week on drink

I think I've saved about 100k in ten years.

Add a pack a fags a day and you're up to €150K a decade. You'd buy a savage car for that

€20-30

My pint in Dennehy's was ca. €4.

There's good value if you shop around

A medical reason not to get vaccinated is someone following medical advice not to get vaccinated. The vast majority of people in this country are following medical advice to be vaccinated. There are some who think they know more than the doctors and immunologists and refuse to be vaccinated, but still want medical care and attention if they are adversely affected by Covid. And they think they should be just as entitled to all our health system has to give every bit as much as those who followed the health advice.

It's akin to someone being told of and deliberately ignoring the "Beware of the Bull" sign in a field, ambling across the field, and then getting all indignant if they're attacked by the bull.

If you want to gamble with your health by not taking the vaccine, then that's your personal choice (even though it adversely affects others) but don't come looking for sympathy and society's help if your gamble to refuse to adhere to the mores of society doesn't pay off.

In this country we drive on the left hand side of the road. If you come in from abroad and insist that you should be allowed to continue to drive your left-hand-drive car on the right hand side as you always have don't be overly surprised if you're involved in an accident with on-coming traffic.
