“I would love a covid vaccine, but I can’t get one.”
Woman desperately seeking covid vaccine contacts Liveline
“I would love a covid vaccine. That’s the goal in coming on here today.”
A woman desperate for a covid vaccine contacted Ireland’s national broadcaster to make public her plea for help.
Lara Lawless, from Co Kildare, told RTE’s Liveline she desperately needed a covid vaccine but no vaccine was available to her. Ms Lawless told presenter Joe Duffy that she had the immune system of a ‘ten-month-old baby’ following stem cell treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukaemia.
She was told she needed a covid vaccine because she is immuno-compromised as a result of the treatment and set about obtaining a vaccine through multiple channels.
She tried her consultant first, then her GP, then a pharmacy and then resorted to the Health Service Executive (HSE). Finally, in desperation due to her inability to obtain a covid vaccine from any source, the woman contacted Joe Duffy and shared her story on the national airways.
“The problem is that according to present guidelines, there are vaccines available and they are just being given to pregnant women. But for people like myself in vulnerable situations, they are not available,” she said.
“How the chemists are running it at the moment is that the Spring/Summer programme finished at the end of June. Then they start the Autumn/Winter programme at the end of September. But these are just for boosters, they are not for vaccines. So in the meantime, they don’t stock any covid vaccinations,” Ms Lawless said.
“The other thing I found out is that chemists and GP’s can order covid vaccinations but they have to order a minimum of fifty. They can’t just order one. So obviously if you order fifty and they are not taken up, they go to waste.”
“So are you saying chemists won’t do that?” Joe Duffy asked.
“Yeah. Chemists and GP’s. Now that’s not what chemists and GP’s have told me, but it’s what the HSE has said.”
Joe Duffy read out a HSE statement sent to Liveline following a query on the woman’s behalf.
“The HSE says: ‘There is no shortage of vaccinations.’”
“‘GP’s and pharmacists requiring vaccines should place an order (they don’t say minimum of fifty) through the normal contact channels. The HSE is in regular contact with GP’s and pharmacies throughout the country to ensure there are locations….’ but you say, these words are all fine but the action isn’t there,” he said.
“Exactly. As it stands right now, I need a covid vaccination. I need one because part of my recovery is to get back to normal life, which requires me to get on public transport, which is dangerous for someone like me. I don’t think people are aware of that. The other thing is that I can use my voice, I can say what I need, there are a lot of people out there that can’t,” Ms Lawless said.
“I wonder is there any pharmacy or GP listening that for other people had to order more vaccines and they’ve some left, if the HSE is saying you have to order a minimum of fifty. Sounds odd but…”
“Well as it stands I have a query in again with the HSE and they told me as of (last) Friday that I need to wait two to three weeks for a response. Which to me is shocking,” she said.
“I have been managing my life and my safety very well for the past nine or ten months. I am due to start my baby vaccinations tomorrow and the covid vaccine is probably the hardest one to find!”
“Bizarre,” Joe Duffy said.
Ms Lawless was first diagnosed with Leukemia in 2017. She went through treatment in Dublin’s Beaumont Hospital where she underwent three rounds of chemotherapy and went into remission.
“I was great, I got on with my life, I was pretty healthy, working a physical job and loving life,” she said.
The cancer returned and in April 2023, the woman said she was ‘re-diagnosed following check-up blood tests.’
Joe Duffy resolved to try to help the woman obtain a covid vaccine.
“Well we are going to try and get the vaccine rapid, the covid vaccine. Any particular one (vaccine) Lara, in terms of the name?”
“Well I just need my primary vaccine,” she said.
“Your first one,” he said.
“Yes,” she replied.
Joe Duffy then put a call out over the airwaves for any GP or pharmacy that might have a primary covid vaccine available.
“I presume your immune system is compromised Lara, for a while at least?”
“Yes, well I am classed as immunocompromised. I am classed as having the immune system of a ten month old baby. So I am susceptible to measles, you know, shingles, everything.”
“I would love a covid vaccine. That’s the goal in coming on here today. Preferably without having to travel too far. But, yeah it’s just something that people in my situation and vulnerable people in general should have easy access to and don’t.”
“I’ve always been a fighter, I’ve always been able to fight for what I need and fight to be heard,” she said.
Ms Lawless told how she had two rounds of chemotherapy in Beaumont Hospital and two rounds of radiation in St James’s Hospital before receiving a stem cell transplant.
“That chemo is very, very aggressive, it makes you very ill and basically destroys your own bone marrow in order for the stem cells to grow new bone marrow,” she said.
“How long have you been looking for this Lara? I’m going to get annoyed now if it’s a long time,” Joe Duffy said.
“From the HSE, since July 18 because I didn’t know I could contact the HSE live number, to get it. My first stop was my consultant, the next stop was my GP, the next stop was a chemist…”
“Because you presumed it was going to be straightforward,” Joe Duffy said.
In the closing moments of the show, the presenter announced to listeners that the HSE had been in contact with the show to say they would be in touch with the woman directly ‘in the next hour.’
“Keep fighting will you?” he told the woman.
“I’m not here to start a cause or anything but people in my position should be given easier support to get what they need to live the life they have fought for,” she replied.

From the Secular Holy Sacrement of the HSE to oblivion. Yet at the same time it also sounds staged? This government loves this stuff like Harris moving into a palace - like a king - after makey-uppy 'in danger from Far Right' concocted bullshit.
The Establishment in this country are psychopathic oppertunists and/or delusional psychotics so anything is possible with them. If the woman's story is real then I hope she recovers. Either way, just one more day in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.
Here's a thought. It's reasonably well known at this stage that the vaccines are about as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike. They neither stop you getting convid nor stop you transmitting convid. This has already been admitted and is not in dispute.
What has not been admitted is the suspicion that the vaccines are possibly responsible for the spike in excess deaths since their introduction.
This has lead to a sharp decline in demand for the poison, I mean vaccine.
It's possible that this has never crossed the mind of this woman but how likely is that.
What is far more likely is that they have such a sharp decline in demand and such a stockpile of unused "vaccines" that they ( the powers that shouldn't be) are trying to drum up some interest in this product.
Either way , I wish this patient well and hopefully she makes a full recovery from her illness but I would caution her against taking anymore toxic chemicals into her body.
