Waldo 96 #1 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Saw that coming, health workers had the gov over a barrel, sacking 10% of NHS workers was something unthinkable. Still think it’s a bit selfish and crap (of the NHS workers not getting vaccinated). You’re not getting vaccinated for your own benefit, but for everyone else’s benefit. These 10% are happy for everyone else (well, most people) to get vaccinated but not risk vaccination themselves? Wonder if they would they be happy for everyone to just think of themselves and for no one to get vaccinated?

lindylou53 18 #3 Posted February 1, 2022 Fair enough-it's their decision but similarly it should be our right to refuse to be treated by a doctor who hasn't been vaccinated. They can't have it both ways. Also it seems unfair when carers weren't treated similarly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
The_DADDY 3,475 #4 Posted February 1, 2022 A predictable decision but still a welcome one. Threatening people with the sack for not having a jab was always going to fail at some point. 1 minute ago, lindylou53 said: Fair enough-it's their decision but similarly it should be our right to refuse to be treated by a doctor who hasn't been vaccinated.

Waldo 96 #5 Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) I think the gov played it wrong, making threats they were unable to carry through. I think a different approach may have worked better, making changes slowly over a longer period of time, replacing unvaccinated staff with vaccinated. Mind you, if you ask me, most of our gov (certainly Boris and his cronies) are self serving morons; so no big surprised they’ve made a hash of it.

rollwithit 12 #6 Posted February 1, 2022 they were saving lives well before the tax rollout without any issue. clap then sack? Was all a bluff. The human rights act in its present format won't allow it. however, the reforms tot he act are in the consultation phase. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If a NHS worker thinks not having covid vaccines is a good choice then how can their judgement on looking after patients be trusted? Or you could look at it this way 10s of 1000s of medical professionals refuse to be jabbed, they may know something you don't?

They’re going to be more clued up than the general public. I remember the anaesthetist who announced he wasn’t getting jabbed when, I think it was the chancellor was visiting. He said he’d already had Covid and didn’t think the efficacy of the jab (considering he had anti-bodies anyway) would be worth it. Think he also said the vaccine only protects for a couple of months.

Of course they do but I'd guess a fair few of those weren't able to stand up to the "nudging" and coersion, many probably felt it was right for them and others but the fact so many have refused it tells me a lot.
