The pandemic that wasn't.

Spreading misinformation. Vaccine risk was low and it has saved lives of more than 10s of thousands.
Flu can be bad, which is why as a mitigation freshly designed vaccines for the new strains are free to all vulnerable people in Ireland each Winter. Of over 7,000 deaths in Ireland of people with Covid-19, over 5,000 had Covid-19 as cause of death. It would have been massively more without the free testing, lock downs and the free vaccines.
Also the ICU were overwhelmed, resulting in some increase in deaths from other causes. That would have been also much higher without the masks and vaccines, because otherwise the demand on ICU would have been catastrophic. As it was the Government commandeered all private hospitals for additional ICU.
Of course it is a pandemic and could easily have been very much worse.
