1630217187846680577 “'Once sizable damages have been awarded in a malpractice suit, we believe it will force medical service providers, health insurers, and employers offering coverage for so-called ‘affirmative care’ to revise their positions,'” @Genspect @FergalBowers https://t.co/6zqwCyQ5Jh 37
1629445881698340865 Are there cracks in the ranks of NPHET? Is there some guilt for what they did? Are they concerned that the politicians (and media) have set them up for the fall that is coming? .@FergalBowers, anything to say or still in full belief that what you deleted was the whole truth?! https://t.co/wB4u7E96r9 20
1630228417625960448 Both New York Times and Wall Street Journal have now reported that C19 most likely was leaked from Wuhan lab. When will Irish media, in particular our fearless and intrepid RTÉ health correspondent @FergalBowers run with this story???? 17
1629780769710256129 This Tunisian guy @PatKennyNT @john_mcguirk @BetteMidler in the cap should be on @joeliveline ‘funny Friday’ . I haven’t laughed so much since #JackBenny retired. He’s even funnier than @FergalBowers or @rodericogorman at their best. https://t.co/eYUMoC4qU0 9

1629777421841969153 @FergalBowers @rtenews Have you any comment on this? You played and continue to play a massive role spreading misinformation that is damaging society and the most vulnerable in it. You mocked and slandered the people who tried to bring this to your attention. It was all wrong! https://t.co/g03ytFRTRR 7
1630278348797558784 Can’t wait to see @wereontheditch hose up in this years journalists awards. Surely they’re odds on to win most of them by now?? Or maybe @FergalBowers might stop them with his excellent reporting on covid cases climbing last Wednesday in Tubbercurry in the local bar https://t.co/KeS8mMQv5O 7

1630290912013164545 @FergalBowers @rtenews An inquiry needs to be held into the shocking behaviour of Irish media (especially RTE) during covid. 100

1630264099648012289 @FergalBowers @rtenews "A former member of the NPHET has said that Ireland imposed measures during the Covid-19 pandemic that excessively limited basic freedoms." Eh, we don't actually need an expert to point this out. They locked us in 2km cage. 70
