April 2020: Clap our heroes

It's a disgrace.

Had a year for people to get their vaccines, if they ain't done it by now they probably never will. Also think it's a disgrace that the NHS staff are being treated like this.

At this moment in time , they have 4 months to recruit potentially 73000 people ..

I'm guessing that won't happen , so basically the NHS is in for a huge shock

Goodnight

Why are people so hellbent on people losing their jobs ? The very people you all clapped last year ? Weird as fuck because it hasn't bothered people from the day the vaccine released to now ? And they will still be working until March? What measures do they take now that suddenly won't be good enough in March?

Health workers have always been required to vaccinate against illnesses that can harm their patients. Where were you before arguing against that? What’s so special about the Covid vaccine?

They’ve had a year to get a jab, numbers aren’t high enough so now a hard deadline is in with time to get fully vaxxed. Would you rather they just sacked people on the spot?

You’re making out like the gestapo are out holding down people while crazed Dr Mengele jabs experimental drugs in them. All that’s happening is a condition of employment is being brought in with a decent grace period to comply or find a new career.

Covid vaccine: People told to travel 100 miles to register overseas jab

People vaccinated abroad must register their jab in person - but only 16 sites are available to do so.

Thats been happening for years and some of us have been banging on about it for years. It's the oldest trick in the capitalist play book.

I'm very much for the vaccine and health care workers being vaccinated for obvious reasons. That being said, the thought of someone losing their career over it doesn't sit well with me.

Aren't the NHS going to deploy people away from front line rolls rather than sack them?

Either way, if the hospitals start getting overwhelmed having an ICU nurse either on the dole or shuffling papers in an office doesn't make sense just because she's not jabbed.

Yes. If you won’t take basic hygiene measures you shouldn’t be working in healthcare.

What i wanna know is, with the NHS already severely understaffed, how are these 60000 doctors and nurses and care workers (lets take off 34000 that may be in day an admin role) going to be replaced?

Let alone fucking adding numbers of them.

Its going to collapse, the whole system. We're already at 6 millions on waiting lists, We're already seeing people struggling to see GP's, i really see this as the end of the NHS. Cant see it carrying on after this whatsoever

So you'd rather an ICU unit hada10 to 1 patient to vaccinated nurse ratio than a 2 to 1 with a mix of vacinnated and unvaccinated nurses?

I know someone who runs a complex care facility which already has perennial staffing issues, this will kill them (literally), it doesn't make sense.
AndI say this as someone who wishes every adult would just go and get their jabs and boosters and be done with it

I've started looking into going private.

Dont have a pot to piss in most months with expendable income but id rather be destitute and know my children, partner and myself could get a lump checked out or blood tests done within a fortnight instead of being pushed down the list because of a variant

Id rather people got vaccinated but no I don’t think keeping unsuitable staff on who are in breach on contract is how you solve a staffing issue.

I’m not sure where you’re getting your numbers wrong but it’s nothing like that many

My ratio numbers? They were just examples.
But I do know that at the height of the Pandemic the ratio was way above what it should be so removing staff will only make it worse if ICU becomes as full again.

You’re talking maybe 5% of staff at worst. The NHS is understaffed as it always has been. That’s not the fault of this policy. That’s because the pay is garbage and they don’t have enough funds. More people who work with my missus have been leaving to work in retail or other industries than have refused the jab.

I don't disagree, but when you've already got staffing shortages don't make it worse.
It's like the lorry driver shortages. Brexit didn't cause it but when you've already got shortages don't remove 20k drivers from the available pool. It's not logical.
