RTE’s Six One news broadcast on Thursday 18th November mentioned something that seemed quite bizarre. RTE presenter Dimitri O’Donnell was standing in front of an ambulance announcing “unvaccinated covid patients are occupying almost 20% of the total ICU bed capacity in hospitals today.”
Later in the RTE broadcast, we are told that there are a total of 118 in intensive care.

What RTE’s Dimitri O’Donnell fails to mention is the elephant in the room. Of the 118 ICU patients, a massive 94 people (80%) are vaccinated, leaving just 24 non-vaccinated in ICU.
