On June 9th I received an email from an Irish Nurse who wanted to tell her story.
Her name is Eleanor McGee.
I responded saying I would be only too happy to help.
What you are about to read is
a warts and all account of the coercion and pressure Irish nurses were put under for the last 2 years. Nothing has been edited out from the email that Eleanor sent to me. These are Eleanor's words in their entirety, this is her story...
STARTWhen Covid commenced particularly around March 2020, I was incredibly concerned in general like the rest of the population. I was one of the first to think about closing our borders and stop international travel. We allowed, Cheltenham etc to go ahead.
Slowly but surely, the news was consuming so many peoples lives.
The first lockdown came and went. I didn't see any benefit to it. It was causing so much social isolation. Our elderly and our children were especially affected. Schools were closing, children working via pc at home, missing their friends, grandparents missing their families etc.
The announcement of a vaccine being worked on sent shivers down my spine. How on earth could they develop a vaccine so quickly? Vaccines take years to develop, yet alone time for clinical trials. I am not anti vax, I have taken nearly every vaccine throughout my life except the Swine flu one as in my opinion that one was rushed too. Something just told me that something was very off.
I was very clear in my thinking at that point, that if they managed to develop such a vaccine, it would be a no personally for myself.
Comment: Given the long-term overreach of biased, leftwing "watchdog" groups, this is a situation which has been brewing for some time.
