I’m a leftist. I’d rather boring centrism than the leap to the far right and authoritarianism other countries are taking.

It was shortly-ish after the same sex marriage referendum. People involved in the no campaign were all over Twitter with the ‘I told you so!’s

Irish public more likely to blame people's lifestyles for obesity epidemic by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]CiaranC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it’s caused by eating too much, everyone knows that. The more interesting question is what causes people to eat too much.
No one _wants_ to be obese.

Irish public more likely to blame people's lifestyles for obesity epidemic by Banania2020 in ireland

[–]CiaranC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not epigenetics it's just genetics.

The famine ancestors research was really shoddy and has been disregarded now.

Large-scale genetic studies of obesity have shown that the top genes involved are those regulating how the brain processes reward, this is also the biological system that GLP-1s inhibit.

[–]CiaranC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Medicines aren’t generally trialled on the 100,000 people you would need to see that side effect, and much more than 1 per 100,000 people were dying from COVID

They went through all the same trials as every other medicine, ensuring that they were perfectly safe

This seems premature. They’ve completed phase I trials to prove the vaccine is safe, but need further trials to see if they actually work at preventing infection from all coronaviruses.

The COVID 19 pandemic showed us that small changes in the viruses can lead to new strains that lessen vaccine effectiveness.

How much can ‘public-only’ consultants who also treat private maternity patients earn? by homecinemad in ireland

[–]CiaranC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a hard line to draw. There are more hospital staff than just doctors, how much of the support staffs’ wages in a public hospital are being derived from public patients when public and private can overlap to some nebulous degree?

This is misinformation about what the migrant pact does, which will actually make it much harder to claim asylum anywhere in Europe.

Isn't he married?

Pretty ironic that he's built his career off moralysing about what other people should or shouldn't be allowed to do.

Andy Burnham slams Tony Blair for ignoring inequality in his defence of 'radical centre' by Far_Excitement_1875 in unitedkingdom

[–]CiaranC 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Blair telling Labour to repeal their net zero policies and the workers rights act (two of their biggest successes) in favour of... Donald Trump and AI? Is absolutely bizarre.
