Tens of Thousands of 12-15 Year-Olds Vaccinated in Ireland as Roll-Out Extends

by Michael Curzon
15 August 2021 2:57 PM

There have been long queues outside vaccine clinics in the Republic of Ireland this weekend, with parents waiting in the rain to take advantage of the extension of the country’s vaccine roll-out by getting their children ‘jabbed’. Sky News has the story.

While the youngsters could get a shot from Friday, the roll-out began in earnest on Saturday with long queues seen outside vaccination centres.

The Republic of Ireland joins the likes of the United States, Israel, France and a number of other nations who are inoculating young people against Covid.

The U.K. has taken a different approach, with vaccinations only offered to 12 to 15 year-olds with certain medical conditions, or to those who live with vulnerable family members.

In Ireland, about 75,000 in the age range had registered for an appointment by Saturday, with bookings having been open for 48 hours.

Parental consent is needed, with the Pfizer or Moderna jab on offer.

Bill and Sarah Shelley, aged 14 and 12, were taken by their father Michael to get a vaccine in Dublin.

The family queued in the rain to get their shots.

Michael said: “We’re very pleased, I’m delighted they’ve got their first vaccine. …

More than 80% of adults in the Republic of Ireland are fully inoculated, and some 90% have had at least one dose of a vaccine.

The Health Service Executive wants to vaccinate those in the 12-15 range “rapidly and quickly”, and that the decision marked a “very strong point” on the country’s fight against COVID.

Another 2,074 coronavirus cases were reported in the country on Saturday.

There were 229 people with COVID in hospital, 43 of whom were in intensive care.

Worth reading in full.

They want to do it rapidly and quickly. Do they have vaccines against tautology?

Why, the vaccine doesn’t prevent transmission, so it won’t stop them giving it to Granny (who is anyway also vaccinated).

Karl Denninger’s excellent Market Ticker blog just reported on this paper: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733 describing vaccinated Vietamese healthcare workers giving the delta variant to each other and presumably to their patients. Viral loads were 251 times higher than was typical of the original strains. Are the vaccines starting to enhance transmission?

He doesn’t pull any punches! And gets a lot of up to date data/reports.
Hospitals are the very last place you want to be, i think we knew this from the beginning but its getting clear from the studies now. Giving people ‘leaky’ vaccines for a coronavirus is just stupid and dangerous, again its being confirmed by the numbers.
Will this change anything? Not a chance, because they don’t care, its not important, only the control mechanisms via biotech IDs are important. We are virtual prisoners and its getting worse.

You’d think that, with all the past scandals involving young people in Ireland (dodgy clergy, Magdalene laundries, unmarked graveyards of small bodies etc.), they’d be a little more inclined to protect the young in ways better than filling them up with this stuff.

Dodgy government as well, but apparently criticism of the political heroes of the Free State wasn’t allowed. They didn’t have these problems in the North, or nothing like as bad.

In Ireland they had few excess deaths in 2020, the April spike in deaths was of course unusual but it displaced mortality from later in the year, so overall it was an unremarkable year for mortality. But people have been persuaded they’ve just been through the Spanish Flu.

Yes. Despite reservations about Euromomo modelling, it does starkly show up the total lack of any significant event in 2020.

You have to laugh at the frantic lack of faith in a nation notably steeped in religio-babble.

A long time since there was much “faith” in Ireland. And “religio-babble” could probably mean pretty much what you want it to mean. For myself, I have to admire the people who defied their governments, whether under Cromwell or the traitor Varadkar, to continue holding their services at the “mass rocks”.

You have hit the nail on the head. The Irish have been programmed, throughout their history, to rely upon a mother head. Until recently this has been the catholic church, but now this susceptibility has been transferred to the government, EU and WHO. It is frightening to see the slavish adherence to covid edicts, and the finger pointing at those who do not agree, from such a people.

Yes. There are just too many of them and they are self-selecting theirselves for early elimination, that is a cunning scheme. Sometimes you just have to admire Bill Gates, evil though he is.

They think it’s a normal vaccine that will protect their children from getting ill from a virus that doesn’t make them ill…

Beyond parody now. Not sure in what universe this makes any medical sense. Obviously helps in further isolation of the unvaccinated but aside from that?

They also had a tradition of protecting children (and mothers) until the traitor Varadkar.

Jonathan Swift suggested that surplus Irish children be eaten in time of famine.
The Irish seem to be heading in that general direction.

I have run out of words to describe what I think of these parents who are getting their young teenagers vaccinated! Naively I had assumed that parents would have their children’s best interests at heart but, wrong again. I suppose I should know better after 18 months of this dystopia.

It is not only the jabs they are subjecting thier kids too. Brainwashing them also happens.

I was on a ferry two days ago and two kids came out about 10 and 12 years masked up followed by their Mum – also masked. I heard her no need to hand wash but sanitise, you must sanitise!!!!

Needless to say they complied with her exhortations.

Sad innit? Guess they will grow up to be risk-averse, frightened individuals.

Shame on Ireland, shame on the Catholic Church that closed its churches without a thought and now will not speak out against the blatant harm/murder of Ireland’s children.
