They’re speaking with mates/family back home and if they’re spouting shite they’re not going to listen to the Irish government campaigns. It has been 2 years
I mean, there’s a certain level of self-sufficiency expected of functioning adults – particularly adults that have the wherewithal to emigrate and start a new life abroad. Not to mention that pretty much everything that was put out by the Irish government about the vaccines was also published by the Polish/Lithuanian/Whatever governments also – it’s not like we had the inside scoop.
I think it’s a bit of a stretch to blame the Irish state not promoting X-language materials for the fact that 66% of Eastern Europeans chose to not take a vaccine in the middle of a pandemic. There is a cultural hesitancy there that those communities must address and take on themselves.
A lad came over to my house to do a job at lunchtime today. The second he got out of the van he started going on about how vaccines do nothing. Was delighted when the dirty cunt turned the job down.
Edit: I see mods are removing disinformation. That’s no harm I think.
There’s is absolutely no amount of messaging that we can do to combat the tsunami of misinformation coming from their countries.
Yeah a guy I train with I believe he was Romanian, him and his parents lived under that dictatorship they had and basically refused to deal with with any government if they could help it growing up like that. I have chatted to him before I doubt anything could convince him.
Easily solved. Make vaccination a precondition of being granted a PPS Number.

Dya know the clock tower on the quay dya?
Cultural relativism and all, but this seems like absolute bollox.
Eastern Europeans here, Black people in the states.
Anyone guess why they maybe have a distrust of the state?
The hse has a three week waiting time at the moment to get an appointment for a first dose. So they could speed that process up if there really want to keep giving people first doses

Only so much that can be done.
