Reply to: Compulsory Covid vaccinations

[mattster]

I know there is precedent with other vaccinations for some roles in the NHS but is covid truly an equivalent disease that warrants this level of mandated vaccination?

In care homes? Certainly, I would have thought. From memory, some care homes lost 30% + of their residents to Covid in short order. It is an absolutely lethal disease for the very old/infirm.

I listened to a bit about this on the radio before I got up this morning. One care home group already put in place policies that they wouldn't hire staff who hadn't / wouldn't get vaccinated and won't take on new residents who won't accept a vaccination. They say that because they have a statutory duty to keep residents safe (I forget the exact terminology) that is sufficient to not fall foul of anti-discrimination clauses in employment law.

I completely understand where they were coming from, and where HMG is coming from. I'm just not comfortable with it. I know there is precedent with other vaccinations for some roles in the NHS but is covid truly an equivalent disease that warrants this level of mandated vaccination?

But surely if the vaccine is as amazing as they say it is, as long as the care home residents are vaccinated it makes no difference if the staff are?

No. HTHBIDI.

You can be sure the legislation will be much broader than the current Covid pandemic and just care homes.

It will be proportional - two jabs per online account on CUK...

Ignoring, for now, your obvious lack of understanding of what the vaccine does and does not do, who is "they" and where have they said it is "amazing"?

It has to be.

There will be pandemics in future.

Have you never wondered what's in all those hand "sanitisers". They don't just sterilise your hands.



Time for this again:

I believe in getting immunity the old-fashioned way: By letting a bat virus take control of my lungs and turn my face into a disgusting plague fountain while my immune system desperately Googles 'how to make spike protein antibodies.

You hoping to improve your looks then?

It'll probably come to that if they are ever able to aerosolize the vaccine, with little "air fresheners" installed outside tube stations and similar

Cos my mate Maxine who is on furlough from the nail bar on the high street said it's full of nanobots to turn us into zombies.
How would these melts have coped in the days of smallpox and TB?
