Who Will They Blame When Everyone is Vaccinated? Waterford County, Ireland, Provides The Example Irish Quandary: Blame When Everyone’s Vaxxed? No one seems curious about the prevalence of the disease in an almost fully vaccinated population. In the Republic of Ireland,health officials are running out of people blame. This has become embarrassingly obvious in County Waterford. As reported in the Irish Times, the nation’s establishment newspaper, two of the three most COVID-infected electoral areas in Ireland are located in the county “with the highest of vaccination in the country.” In Waterford, a remarkable 99.7 percent of adults over the age of 18 is fully vaccinated. The Waterford news caught my attention because the first American “Cashill's” hail from County Waterford. My great-great-grandfather came America in 1847, “Black 47” as they called , the mid-point of a potato famine that saw more than one million Irish die from starvation or disease and another million flee the country. For all their travails, the Irish were a hardy, freedom-loving people then. With some notable exceptions, they are neither anymore. I visited Ireland often over the years, lived on two occasions, and watched the imperial Left slowly squeeze the heart out of Irish culture. The Ireland of today is not the Ireland of the Easter Rising. is an Ireland whose almost total submission to the COVID authorities was as predictable as its giddy acceptance in 2018 of abortion on demand. Embarrassed by Ireland’s traditional Catholicism, the nation’s media and government elites been busily importing the whole enchilada of woke values concocted in the U.S. and codified in the EU — unrestricted sexual freedom, radical feminism, gay rights, divorce, alternative family structure, gay marriage, thoughtless immigration, anti-Americanism, and now COVID mania. With their near lock on what the Irish hear and read, the elites largely shamed their fellow citizens into acceptance or silence. Unlike America, Ireland has no effective alternative media. As a result, the range of acceptable opinions on controversial issues is as narrow as a country lane. In its most orthodox moment, the Irish Catholic Church could not been more oppressive or vengeful than the monolithic Irish cultural establishment of the early 21st century. With the arrival of COVID, that establishment showed the common people its teeth. As late as April 2021, Irish citizens were not allowed travel more than three miles from their homes. All schools and churches were shut down, as were all bars, restaurants, and construction sites. Even after Ireland “eased out” of these restrictions in April, travel was limited miles and people were still not allowed visitors inside their homes. Despite the recent surge in cases among the fully vaccinated, Ireland is just now easing the restrictions on wedding and church attendance and outdoor gatherings. Indoor in bars and restaurants has also resumed but for for those are fully vaccinated or can prove they recovered from COVID-19 in the past 6 months. The arbitrary evolution of Irish COVID policy over the past 18 months has made it clear that public health officials and government policy makers no idea what they are doing. If proof were needed, County Waterford provides . According data published on October 21, Waterford City South has the nation’s highest 14-day incidence at 1,486 cases per 0,000 and Tramore-Waterford City West has the third highest at 1,2 cases per 0,000. This is despite internal travel bans and the county’s more than 90 percent vaccination . Although Waterford is running three times the of the nation writ large, Ireland as a whole is not faring particularly well, especially given its draconian restrictions. In the seven days preceding October 21, Ireland reported 2,026 new cases. To put that in perspective, wide-open Florida had 2,262 cases during that period with a population more than four times greater than the Irish Republics. Most major newspapers reported on the Waterford quandary, but they do so without any serious reflection. No one seems particularly curious as how almost fully vaccinated people can be spreading the disease among its members. Indeed, dissent on just about any COVID-related issue comes at a . The case of former University College–Dublin professor and Irish Freedom Party chair, Dolores Cahill, is instructive. Prior her emergence in the anti-vaccination movement, Cahill had been considered a “superstar” of Irish scientific research. Cahill’s standing in polite society began unravel in March 2021 when she was induced resign her Freedom Party chairmanship after “making unsubstantiated claims at an anti-lockdown rally.” In August 2021, readers of the Irish Times learned that a bench warrant had been issued in London for the arrest of the “prominent Covid sceptic and anti-vaccination campaigner.” Among other offenses Cahill was charged with holding “a gathering of more than six people in any place.” By October 2021, the month that the Waterford numbers were making a hash out of all official vaccination claims, the Irish Times was trashing the now “former” UCD professor as a “conspiracy theorist” and “one of the main purveyors of anti-vaccination misinformation.” As the County Waterford numbers make clear, Irish health officials and policymakers do not know what “misinformation” is. They do, however, know what power is, and they will do what they must hang on , freedom be damned. Civitates meridienses iterum orientur," "The southern states will rise again." |
