Good grief - utter nonsense shared yesterday by @ABridgen and his ideological cohort claims COVID vaccines are dangerous has gotten huge traction, but its founded on an utter abuse of data. Let's look at precisely why its junk - Strap in, it's a thread... 🧵
Day 6: #BrigidsCross because this doctor has discovered that a short break from work after her pregnancy resulted in 6 months of her career record disappearing into thin air...
With so much vaccine misinfo on Twitter these days, remember 💭
Nobody denies that vaccines can have serious side effects.
The question is how severe and how often they occur compared to effects of infection.
For adults COVID vaccines have always been safer than infection.💉
Lots of talk about RSV + scarlet fever. Very important topics. But they might be drowning out the message that MEASLES VACCINATION RATES ARE FALLING IN IRELAND. As someone who spent lots of time working in measles-endemic regions, I assure you we don’t want a return of measles!…
Many highly mutated forms of #SARSCoV2 are spreading now in Europe & NoAmerica. All of them have evolved to evade our immune defenses, to one degree or another. And some seem to be super-spreaders. Mask up, Folks.
One of the most sensible takes on ‘cancel culture’ I’ve seen. Sensible, honest, smart. I’m posting the video directly as Times Radio tweeted it with a clickbait and somewhat misleading headline that unintentionally confirmed his point. More of this please.
Denmark: 120 Covid variants sequenced in one month ⚠️

Germany is currently experiencing its fastest rate of COVID ICU admissions in the last year... faster than last winter's surge. There are a lot of "pro-spread" evangelists/trolls... don't listen to them, look at the data — it speaks for itself. Get ready for this fall/winter.
BREAKING—White House COVID Coordinator @AshishKJha46 is now discussing COVID—highlighting there are new strains popping up, he says, including those that can “evade” existing treatments. ➡️Anyone paying attention knows the looming crisis. Please get the new bivalent #Booster!
There’s some very sad news at the moment RE meningitis. As someone who survived meninigitis B and septicaemia as a child - thanks to my parents’ knowledge of the symptoms - could I ask the guys and gals on here to screenshot said symptoms and bear them in mind? Thanks folks 💜
Incredible skill & finish 👏👏

1Today would have been Laura’s 30th birthday. She wouldn’t want us to miss this opportunity to remind us that this years students can now get the HPV vaccine. This vaccine saves lives, it could have saved hers, but it can save yours.Please watch and share. https://t.co/cgbmm58igw

There's 3 Covid ICU patients invasively ventilated in Ireland today.
That's the lowest number of confirmed Covid patients on ventilators since Wednesday, August 26th, 2020 (2).
It's also now 6 consecutive days with no Covid ICU patients in the 3 children's hospitals 🙏
