NHS Manager asks why the Government is hell-bent on enforcing mandatory Covid-19 vaccination for NHS staff
Sun 5:46 pm +01:00, 3 Oct 2021 9
In the absence of an impact assessment, Parliament has recently voted to mandate COVID vaccinations for care home staff. Consequently, it was anticipated that a consultation would commence regarding introducing mandatory vaccinations for healthcare staff and other care workers. That moment has now arrived, and the proposals also include the mandating of influenza vaccinations.
As a healthcare worker who chooses not to be vaccinated this will impact me personally. However, the implications of mandatory COVID and influenza vaccinations are much broader and raise moral and ethical question for policy makers. Below I set out reasons why I oppose these proposals.

Workforce implications
It is worth reminding ourselves that the staff in question are the same ones heralded as heroes for sacrificing themselves and caring for COVID-19 patients during the height of the pandemic. They did this work in the absence of sufficient knowledge regarding the risks posed by this virus.
Now the very same staff are being penalised and vilified for wishing to refuse or delay receiving the COVID-19 vaccination. There are already high take-up rates – exceeding levels recommended by SAGE – of the covid vaccine in the health and care sectors. 92% of NHS trust staff have, at the time of writing, had one dose of the covid-19 vaccine and 88% have had both doses. The uptake of influenza vaccination has been high in NHS providers in recent years. Proposing to mandate the flu jab in a year where flu has been eradicated seems illogical.
Although there was no ‘proper impact assessment’ regarding mandating the vaccine for care home staff, there was an ‘impact statement’ which forecast a potential loss of up to 70,000 care staff in a sector already experiencing high vacancy and turnover rates. If a similar impact is anticipated for healthcare, then this will have a detrimental impact on the patients and residents we are duty-bound to protect.
Status of the vaccine
A key point to make here is that, in the UK at least, these drugs are still not licensed. The vaccines were given temporary authorisation for one year after an extremely rapid period of development. Prior to COVID-19, vaccines have taken years to be developed.
The track record of some of the vaccine manufacturers is either dubious or non-existent and furthermore they are exempt from liability. The current UK vaccine compensation scheme is both insufficient and under-staffed (there are four people working in the department dealing with vaccine damage applications).
Effectiveness of the vaccine
The vaccines were initially hailed as a ‘miracle of science’. However, it later transpired that the vaccines are not able to stop transmission of the virus or prevent recipients from having COVID-19 symptoms. The quoted 90+% efficacy of the vaccine was based on the relative risk reduction (RRR) between the vaccine trial cohorts, whereas a more accurate but less convenient measure is the absolute risk reduction (ARR) which is less than 1% for the Pfizer vaccine and just under 2% for the Oxford vaccine.
In terms of its impact and the vaccine being our ‘route to freedom’, the results appear unsatisfactory and inconclusive. It has been claimed that the vaccine breaks the link between COVID-19 cases, hospitalisations and deaths. However, data presented at the latest coronavirus press briefing indicates that all metrics were higher this year than at the same point last year.
More deaths have occurred so far this year than expected (when comparing to the pre-pandemic five-year average), and we have observed almost the same level of COVID deaths in 2021 as in 2020. The most recent Public Health England technical briefing on variants of concern indicates that there has been a greater proportion of deaths from the Delta variant in the vaccinated than in the unvaccinated. Individual freedoms are still restricted in terms of international travel. The on-off proposal to introduce vaccine certificates to enter venues appears more like a route towards tighter social control than a return of our freedoms.
Dangers of vaccination
All vaccines, including the new ones for COVID-19, carry a small risk of serious side effects. Historically, and more recently, we have seen this with birth defects associated with the Thalidomide drug and narcolepsy resulting from the H1N1 swine flu vaccine. Adverse reactions to the COVID vaccine are to be reported to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) Yellow Card scheme from which the results are published weekly.
The latest publication reported almost 1.2 million reactions and 1,645 deaths related to the COVID-19 vaccine and these numbers are likely to be under-reported. Recent data published by Public Health Scotland indicated 5,522 deaths had occurred within 28 days of a COVID-19 vaccination.
Although they have been requested in Parliament, such statistics are yet to be made available in England. If we were to model the same data for England based on the number of vaccine doses administered, we can expect to have witnessed 55,840 deaths within 28 days of the COVID vaccine. During that same period, 57,271 deaths were reported in England within 28 days of a positive COVID test.
Much of the above information is not easily accessible or widely publicised, bringing into question how informed the consent is for vaccine recipients; informed consent being a key tenet of the Nuremburg Code.
Alternative approaches
Considering the vast number people who have tested positive for COVID-19 and recovered, one of the many elephants in the room is how many people are already protected from this illness. A recent study by Oxford University claimed that:
- the vaccinated are less severely infected but are more likely to become infected
- they can transmit COVID more easily than those who recovered from infection naturally
- natural recovery is more wide-ranging and lasts longer than vaccine-induced immunity
Given the low risk to healthy, working age adults there is an argument that it is safer to build upon the natural protection that already exists to such illnesses than it is to vaccinate.
Even the government has struggled to decide which is the most effective action against this disease. Earlier this year the Prime Minister claimed that it was the lockdown, not the vaccine, which curtailed the impact of the second wave. Whereas, a week earlier he had claimed the vaccines had prevented over 10,000 deaths.
The recent announcement that the MHRA had approved the first treatment for COVID-19 must also bring into question the status of the vaccine.
Despite the ethical questions and contradictory evidence surrounding the safety and efficacy of the COVID-19 vaccine, the government appears intent on making its receipt a condition of deployment in a health and care sector that is already struggling.
In WW1, conscripted soldiers, some as young as 15, charged German machine guns, knowing that they were likely to be killed, as it was expected of them. No one was asked to bang their dustbin lids for them. Nurses and Doctors, chose their career, and no doubt many of them basked in the Covid NHS hero worship. Well it’s wake up time. Many are either bound to know that we are in a really major attack upon our world, or, what?, they’re stupid?, brainwashed?. I don’t know, but without them, the plandemic couldn’t work, so they needn’t come to me for sympathy. Get the fuck on with it like the rest of us have to.
“No one was asked to bang their dustbin lids for them.”
The naivety of the stupid ‘goyim’ is truly shocking.
I keep in touch (occasionally) with a retired NHS doctor friend who bailed out many years/decades ago when she saw where it was all going. I honestly think the UK’s NHS is ‘Gone With The Wind’ so to speak. It’s so corrupt that it’s beyond redemption or repair.
Get rid of it and start again after hunting down doctors who are happy or prepared to cause more harm than good in total violation of their Hippocratic Oath.
I spent three decades in the military and saw lots of comrades die. There but for the grace of God go I methinks!
The reserve parachute has always opened for me (twice) after a main malfunction and cutaway. A couple of friends weren’t so fortunate and hit the deck at night at 120 mph when their Hightfinde AAD – designed to operate at 4,000 feet approx – failed after exiting at 25.000 feet. Always keep track of altitude and time is the answer – 2 minutes from exit to Mother Earth.. Some learn the hard and final way.
Growing old is a kind of curse when you think of comrades who didn’t make it – but they chose to serve and knew the risks.
The Draft is history but we have a kind of Economic Draft/Conscription. It’s not fair on those who genuinely want to serve but are virtual cannon fodder.
The military made me and continues to look after and thank me to this day for services rendered.
Today’s Armed Forces have become perverted by subterfuge and subversion. I don’t know what the answer is. but we still need the Armed Forces as there are a lot of bad guys still out there.
The Illuminati usually kills off its useful idiots once they’ve been used.
Indeed Tap. I’ve cooled down since commenting.
It’s a fair comment ian … whether in anger or not.
These are desperate times Ian.
Don’t ever think about ‘cooling down’ but get even more mad every day, then we can get even more even with the scumbags that have brought this about.
I’ve seen serious behavioural changes in those I know who have been jabbed. They’re not the same person and probably never will be again.
They fall out/start an argument over absolutely nothing. They’re at war with themselves.
Only yesterday a good friend took offence for no reason when I bought my misses a drink who was sat at their table. I was sat at the bar chatting up the bar-staff. It was totally out of character and almost as if I had made a pass at his misses who was sat next to him.
He was given a severe dig by others to watch his step as I don’t go looking for trouble but rarely walk away from it.
His hostility took me completely by surprise.
Jabbed for sure.
WW1 soldiers were eliminated with Spanish flu vaccines same as Gulf War veterans disabled with Squalene. They imagined the enemy was the other side. Now people imagine their doctors are their friends. Medics are the new version of disposable killer.
Well put Tap. It has always been the same deceitful game of thin out the cockroaches. What concerns me most this time round, is that the peaceful ,tv watching, mainstream “normies”, walk into the trap easily. What’s left are the more awake, less trusting, awake, rebellious types. What will they do to us after the mass dying takes place?
