“Primary care is anything but closed, we are stretched to the limit with Covid, with respiratory illnesses and with all the other things that you cannot get into the hospitals because our hospitals are full. All the people on those waiting lists who are in pain waiting on their operation and cannot get in because the beds are full.”
Dr O’Hagan said the planned relaxations of restrictions “make no sense”, and queried why vaccine passports were not being made mandatory. “I understand we need to get the economy going again, I understand nightclubs have been closed and they need to get back, and whatever it means learning to live with this virus, but if we look around us and look at other jurisdictions and countries, we can see that they are opening up the sector but they’re doing it in such a way they are looking to see who is vaccinated and who isn’t, because you have got to remember, our 18- to 29-year-olds – one in four are not vaccinated.
“Those are the people likely to go to the nightclubs, so are we really saying that it makes sense to let all those people into the nightclubs without looking at their vaccination [status]? “If you’re vaccinated you have less chance of getting Covid. If you do happen to get it while vaccinated you have a much lower chance of spreading it, you have a much lower chance of getting long Covid and you have a much lower chance of being admitted to hospital.
Is Neil concerned?
