The Irish Times has published a full page ad criticising the government’s lockdown response to the Covid-19 virus titled “To Our Leaders”

The ad which was paid for by Moorezy Holdings Limited and is believed to be work of tech entrepreneur John Moore who founded 3D4Medical, a medical technology company, highlights various facts in relation the Chinese virus taken government websites.

The ad, which has no doubt upset some powerful people in Ireland’s political and media established listed a series of facts that can be found on the HSE’s and other government websites including:

“FACT: The current life expectancy for Ireland is 81.5 years.

FACT: 94.61% of the people who have died from Covid-19 had other underlying health issues.

FACT: A total of 20 people have died from Covid-19 who were aged under 44.

FACT: 2 people have died from Covid-19 between May 24th and October 6th, 2020 who were under age 44.

FACT: 76 people died from car accidents last year who were aged under 45.
-For people under 44, almost 4 times as many have died from car accidents than from Covid-19.
There is literally more chance of dying from being hit by a bus, a car or being in a fatal traffic collision than from Covid-19 – yet our government is not stopping people from driving.

FACT: In Ireland, if a person dies from a heart attack, a stroke, cancer or even having been hit by a bus and if that person also tested positive for Covid-19, their death is reported as a Covid-19 death even if the death was not due to Covid-19.”

The ad also featured a graph showing the death rate in Ireland from Covid-19 and demonstrating how it has practically flatlined in recent weeks.

The ad has triggered an angry response by some who support the Draconian lockdown imposed on them and their families because of their own media induced fear and other psychological issues.
