".....Delta is doubly transmissible with high vaccine escape and waning immunity and has raised the bar to achieving population immunity. Uncontrolled global transmission facilitated the emergence of the Delta variant, uncontrolled domestic borders expedited its importation to our shores and uncontrolled community transmission has seen Ireland’s incidence rise to the highest in the EU. The government is responsible for putting us in this perilous position just when our unvaccinated children return to schools which, amidst such high community transmission and negligible mitigations, cannot credibly be deemed safe.
Covid related
absences doubled in a week after schools opened in Scotland with
Deputy First Minister, John Swinney, admitting, “There’s no doubt that pupils
and staff returning to school over the past fortnight had contributed to an
"unprecedented" number of cases”.
Instead of mitigating against a similar scenario here, Micheál Martin, with NPHET as cheerleaders, are already lining up the fall guys: Parents"
"....If the government continues to expose our children to
harm, it’s our job to protect them. Unless parents are prepared to say, “We
do not consent” to exposing our children to Covid infection at school which
could saddle them with long term disability, congenital disorders, organ
failure and cognitive deficiency, our consent will be presumed tacit”.
One day, our children will ask what
we did to prevent them being exposed to infection when masks and inexpensive
HEPA filtration systems could have prevented them from getting sick. Sending
our under twelves to school with masks or chipping in for air filters are
viable options. Deferential acquiescence is not".
