Point is, we’ve had enough of these selfish anti-vaxxers
WE’VE reached the stage now where we have to make life as difficult for Ireland’s unvaccinated as they apparently want to make it for us.
Don’t want to get jabbed to protect yourself or the people around you? OK, then you won’t be wanting to eat or drink indoors, travel anywhere or be in the cinema, school or workplace.
Nobody can force you to do the right thing – but we can take measures to protect ourselves and our families. We’ve had enough, the rest of us want to get on with our lives.
There’s still around 370,000 people in Ireland who have yet to get the jab.
A small proportion may have a good medical reason not to and some have yet to be reached but the Irish Pharmacy Union reckons around half of them are committed “anti-vaxxers”.
And if you don’t know any of them, drop by your local hospital intensive care unit any time over the coming months as these eejits will be packing the place out, blocking critical care for others. Almost two years into a deadly global pandemic, these are the hard-core cranks, the wildly misinformed and the outrageously selfish.
They are the kind of people who shout at healthcare workers and parade their ignorance and recklessness around in our streets, waving stupid signs.
They won’t believe their own doctors and the world’s leading scientists – but they will believe some eejit called @Realvaxtruther97 posting idiotic crap about 5G masts and Bill Gates on Facebook.
They are the people who are willing to risk their health – and the health around them – with a deadly virus that has killed millions but reckon that the scientifically-proven vaccines that can protect us all from that virus are “too risky”.
They are “doing their own research” in the same way they presumably did the last time they got a tetanus shot.
Of course, when they actually end up fighting for their lives in hospital, they’re using their last breath to say they should have been vaccinated.
Well, the country has had enough of them. A survey this weekend found more than three-in-four Irish people think the unvaccinated should be subject to Covid restrictions to combat rising case numbers.
They’ve made their decision so they can stay home with their nutty Facebook posts while the rest of us get on with our lives.
