Replying To FullOfPorter:  "If you are worried about that then you should be terrified of your phone. The social media companies know more about you and your personal details, which they trade for money, than the government. At least the government is some ways held accountable. Who is overseeing all the data that is being gathered on you through your phone on a daily basis?"
Exactly some people put their entire lives up on social media. Also if you carry a smartphone (almost everyone) then you can be tracked.

Replying To Viking66:  "Wasnt it the right wingers pushing the vaccines? FFG."
There was all kinds pushing the vaccines from Hollywood types to former Presidents but the Left pushed Mandates or forced people to get them.

With respect, I think Viking is talking about what happened in our own country, not yours.

Replying To Tirchonaill1:  "I don't know what FFG are anymore and I couldn't care less, SF are a lost cause,
far as I can see we are governed by Brussels anyway, what we have in the Dail are like a County Council of old. If they are not lefties they are for sure woke."
FF are not socialists and havent been since maybe the 1950s. FG never were. So no, they arent left wing parties. Not sure what exactly woke means, not sure people who describe themselves as woke, or others who describe other people as woke, know any better than I do either.

Replying To Seanfan:  "Most of those against vaccines were extreme right conspiracy theorists.
Did they ever hear of polio, smallpox, measles..... ?"
They probably believe God wouldn't inflict those diseases on themselves....

Replying To updwell:  "Didn't thousands of healthy people die of Covid, I personally knew some who died- never sick before getting Covid but because it didn't affect you it was over played. All these amateur experts on vaccines living online knew way more than experts in the field who have studied this their whole adult lives. I work with an anti-vax religious guy who spent a month in ICU with a ' heavy flu' in his opinion who was lucky to survive. Wake up and just look at the facts and evidence staring you in the face but no conspiracy theorists know more than than the rest of us."
Thousands die of the flu every year. Tens of thousands die of sepsis every year. Plenty of healthy people who got the covid vaccine died with covid also. I personally knew several.

That TirChonaill lad must be buddies with the Irish Partriot from his own parish. Everyone middle or left of middle is woke bla bla bla. It's actually gas that they spend more time whinging about all aspects of life but they call everyone a woke leftie.
