  1. https://www.newsweek.com/anti-vaccine-speaker-pasquale-bacco-repents-fan-dies-covid-italy-1678504 An Italian anti-vaccine speaker has expressed remorse about his actions after he discovered that a follower of his, who died of COVID-19, had videos on his cellphone of speeches that he had made. Pasquale Bacco is a doctor who was a prominent anti-vaccine activist in Italy, taking part in numerous rallies and speaking events. But now, Bacco, who has more than 7,000 followers on Facebook, said he was a believer in the effectiveness of vaccines in an interview with Italian daily newspaper Corriere della Sera.

"He had on his mobile the videos of my rallies at the demonstrations of the unvaccinated. The family told me that he was a fan of mine," Bacco said. "They didn't tell me with anger, on the contrary, and this hurt me even more. I feel like that death was my fault. And the thing still bothers me today. For me it was not a creed. When I saw the reality with my own eyes, I realized that I was wrong." The interviewer then asked Bacco whether he felt guilty about his actions. NEWSWEEK SUBSCRIPTION OFFERS > "I think that those of us who went up on those stages have some deaths on our conscience. All of us anti-vaccine activists have been great cowards. We went to the squares and when we spoke we knew that people wanted to hear shocking things. So, you provoke more and more." "We were really big bastards, I don't hide it, that's the truth. For this I have asked for forgiveness from everyone, but that forgiveness is useless." Bacco said he spoke at around 300 anti-vaccine protests and was the only young doctor with experience among the speakers. "What I said was pure gold for people who are afraid and looking for certainty. You don't realize [you are losing your rationality.] You lose your mind while being a rational person. At that moment a dangerous process takes place. That anti-vax is a faith and you become a god." "You enter absolute madness. The anti-vaxxers are people who are very afraid and find security in you." Bacco said he is now trying to "remedy" his mistakes. "I speak, I reveal the background. I try to make people open their eyes. I got vaccinated, I am suspended from the medical order for six months and I have not appealed because I feel I was wrong and I accept it. Being an anti-vaxxer can be a business and opportunity turns a man into a thief."
  2. I'd appreciate if somebody could PM me an IPTV provider. The one I use is good, but it's fairly expensive. Sub is up in March so I think I'm going try something else.
  3. I'm all for open dialogue etc, but claiming to be "pro choice" and then making fun of peoples choices with endless memes is not doing yourself or the discussion any favours.
  4. I thought this study was from last year some time and wasn't there a lot of scepticism surrounding it? https://www.science.org/content/article/too-good-be-true-doubts-swirl-around-trial-saw-77-reduction-covid-19-mortality https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/ivermectin-study-itajai-contains-methodological-weaknesses-questionable-conclusions/
  5. I could be misremembering, but I think there is a rule and it's 10 days.
  6. This looks excellent. No release date as of yet though.
  7. https://www.irishmirror.ie/sport/soccer/liverpool-sadio-mane-jurgen-klopp-25440323 Seemingly it was precautionary and nothing serious.
  8. Are there any illegal streams that I could report before I go to bed?
  9. Yeah, that would be him alright. I went to De La Salle and I think he was a few years behind me.
  10. Yes, I agree and normally I wouldn't give a shit, but I know Andrew Holden (not personally) as he is from the same town as me and we have mutual friends, two with whom I work with. According to both of them, you couldn't meet a nicer fella, loves Everton, but definitely not bitter. His Facebook page is much like his Twitter account, totally reasonable. So unless he's a complete psychopath and is fooling everyone I don't think he's catcherintherye and I think it's out of order to have his Twitter account profile posted on a public forum.
  11. Gutted to hear this news today. Cancer truly is a cunt. Clem was my dads favourite player (so much so that when I was born in '73 I was named Ray) and he also died from cancer at 72. Today has opened a floodgate of memories and I'm feeling quite emotional. RIP YNWA
  12. For anybody that's interested, Sean's wife has written a book on his difficult journey and was on Today FM's 'The Last Word': https://www.todayfm.com/podcasts/the-last-word-with-matt-cooper/martina-cox-always-going-fight-tooth-nail-sean Also, tomorrow on the same show, Klopp will be talking about Sean and the long-standing connection the Irish have had with Liverpool FC.
  13. Fuck this game, fuck this league, fuck VAR...Just fuck off, fucking seething here.
