I imagine all those people in any form of care that this impacts is not happy as their care would have just hugely diminished.

Why don’t our government tell us which percentage of death were zero vaccine, one vaccine or both vaccines? You would think if the majority of deaths were people who hadn’t had any vaccines they would be shouting about it.

That information is available on the government website. It has been publicised and the majority are unvaccinated.

This is on the vaccine surveillance report.

From eyeballing death rates per 100k is c 5 times higher for unvacc v double vaxed.

Of course a lot more people are vaxed so most deaths are from vaccinated people.

They couldn’t work in care in the UK because they have not had their first jab.

what difference does it make if jabbed or not you can still carry and pass it on so if the elderly aren't jabbed for some reason it doesn't matter if the person dealing with them is jabbed or not they will still catch it.

It reduces chance of transmission, it reduces chance of hospitalisation.

A medical worker has a duty of care to their patients. We expect people carrying out medical procedures to ensure they do not adversely impact their patients health. We expect medical people to wash their hands. We expect medical people to wear the right equipment. We expect medical people to be vaccinated where appropriate.

I understand some people might not like that but it is a basic requirement of the job. Your personal view is immaterial as a medical worker.

Earlier this year studies pointed to vaccination reducing the risk of transmission by 50%. At population level such a reduction makes a significant difference in how rapidly disease spreads... it’s inevitable all all of us will Catch Covid at some point however it remains critical to do what we can to slow transmission and spread infections over time, especially to those in high risk groups. If we don't we will still risk seeing spikes that threaten to overwhelm ICU bed capacity and force gov to reintroduce emergency lockdown measures. I can’t stress this enough, vaccination policies for diseases of this nature are far more about protecting populations than the individual.

It reduces chance of transmission, it reduces chance of hospitalisation.

Obviously that’s useful to anyone, but you can probably see why it might be useful for healthcare workers to have a reduced chance of transmission and a reduced chance of hospitalisation if they do fall ill."
definitely but not for those that they are treating so should it be mandatory for all care home residents to have the jab

It depends whether issues are subject to more than 1 law. In the UK, the Conservatives passed a law to have care workers needing essential vaccinations. If they can't work due to it being illegal, that's probably going to trump other complaints.

It's a fairly standard requirement for employees to need to be vaccinated, whether for travel or due to caring for others.

It's sad that there have been malign influencers pushing people to doubt the virus and our tools to get our recovery strengthened.

I guess that depends on whether people have signed a contract that gives their employer the right to decide whether they should be vaccinated as part of the contract. I would imagine most NHS contracts have something to that effect and therefore, if you have signed it, you have waived your right to making that decision if you want to keep your job.

I assume these people read their employment contracts before they signed them?

the industry will not collapes it will do what it did 20 or 30 years ago it will gain a licence to recruit from aboard our company has done this once this year bringing 30 over and they are in the process of getting more...

care has always had a problem with recruitment nothing to do with the covid /jab at all the only thing covid has done is highlighted it again...

i dont know if we have been lucky or not but every single member of our staff are vaccinated and right from the begining ie last jan/feb ... the only ones who have a problem are the new recruits yet they sign paperwork before being taken on ....

Any employer in the UK can make having the vaccine a condition of employment but changing an employment contract of a current employee isn't so easy. It is still pretty easy to end someone's employment in their first 2 years though.

Surely the no jab no job rule is going to lead to skills/staff shortages in certain areas? I know there are ways and means of filling the gap short term but long term is it practical? Some will, no doubt do what ever it takes to get a job so maybe it’ll all balance itself out….

That’s just a *broad definition* of coercion.

The real question is whether the action of the employer is deemed as coercion in the eyes of the Law. If the employee is in breach of the terms & conditions of their contract of employment, then he / she (the employee) has no legs to stand on.

It's called "consequences of your choices". They're not being forced to do anything. Is having a dress code in an office "force"? No? Didn't think so.

If you want a job, you abide by the guidelines set out. If you don't want to do that, get another job. Simple.

You shouldn't be in healthcare if you don't believe in the science supporting your job.

"today France has started suspending health workers with no pay for not having their 1st covid jab.

this is why france is protesting, for shit like this. No pay? thats criminal and should be illegal. forcing people to take something they dont want? should also be illegal.

I hope those workers find themselves another job and the government realise how stupid they are being. this isnt just happening in france, this is happening all over.

It's called "consequences of your choices". They're not being forced to do anything. Is having a dress code in an office "force"? No? Didn't think so.

If you want a job, you abide by the guidelines set out. If you don't want to do that, get another job. Simple.

You shouldn't be in healthcare if you don't believe in the science supporting your job. "

Well said.

The same way the employer has the right to determine who they recruit, and who can stay on the job and who needs to leave.

If it’s a requirement of the job that you should be vaccinated, then the employer has right to request that you be vaccinated . If you don’t wish to have the vaccine, then find another job where vaccination is not requirement of employment. "
and im sure alot will be leaving I agree with you about the contract where I don't agree is with the government or a employer being able to tell you must have something injected into your own body it's just going to bring avshit storm of trouble soon and im double jabbed just getting over catching it .

Totally agree, but sure employers attitude can legally be - if you want to work for me you have the jabs; if you dont have the jabs dont come work for me.

I am not forcing anyone to be jabbed, it is there choice and I am not forcing anyone to apply to work for me, again their choice, if you want to do the latter you do the forma first - and prove it !

Anyone who thinks that mandating vaccinations in any way needs to take a long hard look at them selves.

To insist that even those that have a natural immunity from a previous infection have to have jabs is beyond madness.

AFAIK contract law allows you to stipulate pretty much anything as long as it is not illegal.

As I understand it I cannot have a binding contract with you to kill someone as that is clearly illegal. If you want me to undergo a sterilisation procedure in order to get a job and I agree to that whilst not under duress and being of sound mind then it is probably a legal contract. Whether the courts think that I can agree to that and be of sound mind is a different question.

Absolutly, has no one twigged that common medicines that have been used successfully to treat covid have now been restricted.

No one twigged the gov have never said stop the spread, they only ever say slow the spread.

Why do you think the airports where left open when everyone was complaining it would be too late.

Why do you think at the end of the last lockdown when probably 3 or 4 more weeks completly apart might have seen the end of it in our country.

Why do you think they are allowing people who are double jabbed are still able go put amd about even if someone in there household has the virus....

Why would you even think having 2 jabs stops you carrying and spreading the virus. How exactly does a vaccine stop you carrying a virus on your body or clothes...It doesn't.

If you have the virus and an upset tummy, you are passing the virus. Your stomach acids don't always kill it.

Do you really think the politicians have been jabbed or had a cocktail of tablets to protect them?

They don't want to stop it. They are now making billions from vaccines. They are quite happy and want it to stay in circulation.

Before blanket jabbing everyone, they should be testing people to see if they have antibodies and if they have maybe they don't need jabbing. Maybe natural immunity can cope.

Also, if people can have covid without symptoms then maybe they can also have long covid. If someone with a current flair of the virus gets jabbed it is not good at all.

Long post, but it annoys me when people just accept everything they read. Particularly when it states daily numbers are estimated, that was on a daily news programme.

Never heard anything more stupid.

In fairness it doesn't need to be linked to a passport database, you are given an antibody test, then it is your choice if you go ahead to be vaccinated. Self agency in your own decision with gained knowledge by the test. In terms of practicalities, one more step yes, but knowledge of natural immunity would result in less wanting the vaccine, then the booster and subsequent injections. Plus just because somethings a it more difficult doesn't mean it shouldn't be done. Like stopping smoking / being obese, hard to do something about it, but better to stop, but then again most just get jabbed instead.

Sounds like you're forcing someone to undergo a medical procedure under duress (y'know, with the pandemic and everyone fearing for their jobs and how they're gonna pay the bills and all that). If they suffer any adverse reactions from the jab I wouldn't be surprised if they have strong grounds to sue.

"We should offer every one of them residency if they come here and work for our NHS for at least 5 years."

Before you make such a genius statement why not take a look at the initial rates of infection within clinical settings and understand the consequences?

The huge death tolls particularly in the care home setting can directly traced to staff members carrying infection room to room. Likewise if you look at NHS staff and patient infection rates pre vaccination they where horrific.

Covids greatest strength as a virus is its ability to spread, whether hospitals or indeed the care system you will find the most at risk groups for serious infection and death from Covid so why on earth would you promote a concept that endangers them or indeed or careers and their ability to maintain the services?

The team from the red zone I worked on suffered a 78% infection rate amongst staff in the first four months of the pandemic. We actually lost a senior sister to covid from our team, we had another 4 members of staff leave with long term issues (in the main long covid) as they could no longer perform their duties. Whilst we obviously couldn’t infect those already infected there was a direct affect on their health as our numbers where stretched through absence and thus our care ratios and ability to react suffered.

My team like most in the care/health sector couldn’t wait to get vaccinated, we don’t have a single person who opted against taking the vaccination at the earliest opportunity. Whilst I appreciate a limited number of people have strong views on ‘the right to choose’ I would ask what their views would be on a scenario where a friend/relative/themselves was infected by staff in a care/nhs setting and suffered serious illness as a result?

This is on the vaccine surveillance report.

From eyeballing death rates per 100k is c 5 times higher for unvacc v double vaxed.

Of course a lot more people are vaxed so most deaths are from vaccinated people.

when is the data from because a lot of people died before vaccine was give so that might be incorrect if its deaths from start of covid "

"today France has started suspending health workers with no pay for not having their 1st covid jab.

this is why france is protesting, for shit like this. No pay? thats criminal and should be illegal. forcing people to take something they dont want? should also be illegal.

I hope those workers find themselves another job and the government realise how stupid they are being. this isnt just happening in france, this is happening all over.

You're right. Best to let people who are more likely to transmit the disease care for them. That way we can kill off the more vulnerable and get on with our lives.

That's the best way to get through the pandemic right?"

They might find themselves in bother with the HSE.

Employers have duties to control the risk of harm to people their work may affect this includes non-employees as well as employees. Section 2 of the HSWA is relevant in the context of coronavirus prevention as employers must: Ensure the health, safety and welfare of their employees.

They should be paid what they worked for and politely dismissed. Not sacked with no pay.

They are risking being ill and needing sick pay, pay without work? Why would an employer want that risk when he can employ people that pose little threat of that happening? We are living through a pandemic after all.

New government regulations coming November this year states anyone wanting to work in a care home must have at least one dose of the jab and anyone going into those homes must provide evidence of being vaccinated.

I didnf really want the jab so early but got in in January this year not long after I started my job, because I felt I would be the odd one out not having it but I'm glad I did now with these new regulations coming in.

That said, I always found it quite strange that everyone's post had to be isolated for 72 hours yet their newspapers can just come straight on in and when we were allowed vistors back they had to isolate any gifts but was allowed to take all the coats and bags in and let their relative use their mobile phone without gloves on....I do find the government rules and regulations most odd.

its goverment and CQC registered homes we have to abide by the rules set out by the CQC we have regular inspections to make sure these rules are being followed ..

there a saying once your registered with the CQC then in affect you work for the CQC thats why registered managers and provider are so strict with the rules ignore these rules and they will shut you down ..

so everyone can moan as much as they like and disagree as much as they like but the rules are/have been put in place the dates gone for the first jab and then theres the date for the second jab to be completed by ..

we had a union confrence meeting with managers and porvider's and owners most of the problems with staff not being jabbed are in the big cities london / brum / mancheter / bristol mainly ... this is having a affect with familys of love ones now as familys want them moved away from these problem homes we've had 7 transfers in the last few weeks mainly from london and surrounding homes...

alot of people are forgeting the families have a big say and can move family in a heartbeat away from homes where they feel there family are not safe..

*Bangs head against wall for umpteenth time*

So just to look at this logically

1 get vaccinated to protect you from Covid

2 vaccinated can still catch (but not as bad) Covid and pass it on.

3 unvaccinated are a danger to the fully vaccinated therefore should be isolated from the vaccinated to keep the vaccinated safe (back to point 1, is that not what the vaccine is meant to do)

4 the majority of Covid deaths are now fully vaccinated.

These are not my opinions, but information given to us by our governments.

And as usual, any information from governments makes no sense at all.

So make up your own minds what to do people.

Driving sober helps protect against dying in car accidents as you are more in control

Driving sober doesn't prevent accidents entirely.

Drink drivers can cause accidents and so should be prevented from driving.

Most accidents involve sober drivers.

That all feels coherent to me. The argument is people can take action to reduce risk bit can completely remove it, and the actions of others can increase an individual's risk.

The challenge is balancing the risks and rights if the individuals. I think that is where ppl draw different lines when it comes to principal.

Seeing as it's less than 10% of adult population that no had at least one jab so unless they aa work in the same industry I can't see this being a problem.

Healthcare staff have a duty of care to protect their patients. I don't see why vaccination is not part of this.

Great idea, I don’t think! And if there’s a shortage of healthcare workers? Any plans for that? How about those whose treatment suffers due to the shortage, which is about to happen to care staff here. Or is it too much fun enjoying the gross division this is creating?

Healthcare workers were hero’s 12 months ago. Now people want them sacked for making their own minds up about a vax as choosing not to have it.

How far would you like to go? Sacked from other jobs too? Totally segregated? Banned from everywhere? Walk round with a badge on? Covid has turned fond into right maniacs. And not only that, but maniacs who think they’re the virtuous ones.

This division is gross, and is going to create infinite problems in society.

Yellow fever isn’t covid. And not many countries require that anyway. And travelling between countries is not the same as being excluded from places in this country, when a negative test or natural immunity is sufficient.

If this happens domestically it will not be pretty.

People banned from driving are quite capable but cannot drive legally. They present an unacceptable risk to the other road users because of their prior actions and decisions. The same applies to struck off dentists.

Would you advocate those groups being allowed to drive or practice?

Unvaccinated people spread the disease per capita more than vaccinated ones, contribute more to the creation of mutant variants and are more likely to need hospital treatment thereby putting at risk people who would otherwise need the hospital.

The government are encouraging people to take action to protect themselves and others.

Not sure what is frightening or unwilling to think on the subject in my original post.

If you catch Covid-19 and wind up in ICU they are likely to give you dexamethasone and other corticosteroids (prednisone, methylprednisolone), maybe Tocilizumab and perhaps monoclonal antibodies. Do you refuse the medicine they give you because of its "rare side effects"?

The discussion is about french health workers being suspended nothing to do with people being excluded from places. Negative tests cannot be accepted in place of vaccination for that scenario as it's not practical to test every day and natural immunity hasn't got the same documented evidence of protection YET.

For the record though we would gladly support vaccine passports for certain venues and the vast majority of people would comply same as they do to enable foreign travel.

In your bed

I'm not really for vaccine passports as I think that shifts responsibility.

Vulnerable people/high risk groups have a choice about attending venues and knowing the risks..

High risk groups have no choice over having to get medical treatment.

This is the key issue, medical professionals work with the high risk groups every day and this disease hits those groups hardest.

This is why it is mandatory for those professions.

If the disease showed symptoms on day 1 then you could rely on sending medical professionals home like they would for say the flu or winter vomiting bug.

But as it is asymptomatic for many, you could have doctors and nurses infecting many vulnerable people before they found out.

Ensuring they are all vaccinated lowers this risk to the most reasonable level we can expect at this moment in time.

I need to understand this. If you want to legally drive you need a licence. If you want to be a dentist you need qualifications. If you want to travel you need a passport, etc. etc.

What is so special about a vaccination that you can say you won't have it and still expect the same rights as those that did have it?

Because it’s a terrible and lazy comparison. Driving without a license and performing unqualified dentistry on people is far more dangerous than unvaccinated people are to vaccinated people.

Would you advocate those groups being allowed to drive or practice?

The government are encouraging people to take action to protect themselves and others.

Not sure what is frightening or unwilling to think on the subject in my original post. "

Fat people are more likely to take up a hospital bed. Shall we ban them from buying cakes? Jesus this forum is insane. 18 months of this and some are literally brainwashed by fear. Everything must be done to minimise covid risk! Infectious disease has existed before you know… and we take our chances.

This forum shows the real damage done to society. People are literally covid brainwashed. It’s incredible.
