We Are All Unvaccinated II

I'm sure it was because people didn't wear four masks:

The number of Covid-positive patients in Irish hospitals now stands at 513 – figures not seen since the end of the infamous third wave last winter.

101 of these are in ICU this week – an increase from the 74 seen last week.

CMO Dr. Tony Holohan said that he was “increasingly worried about the rising incidence of the disease nationwide.”

According to the Irish Times, Dr. Anne Moore, who is a vaccine specialist at UCC, said cases would increase until there was a “transmission-blocking vaccine,” as whatever protection from transmission the current vaccines offered had already begun to wane.

“I think we will eventually have to boost the rest of the population…because we are going to see a huge increase in the number of cases,” she said.

To date, over 91% of the Irish population over the age of 12 has been vaccinated, making Ireland the most vaccinated country in the entire EU.
