Netflix to Demand Proof of Covid Vaccination From Key Cast and Crew

by Michael Curzon
29 July 2021 10:42 AM

Netflix has become the first major U.S. film studio to announce that key cast and crew will have to show proof of Covid vaccination on TV and film productions.

Far from hitting back against this ruling, actor Sean Penn – who is likely not alone in his belief – says all staff at the organisation, not just those who are deemed ‘key’, should be forced to get the vaccine. He is refusing to work on his new show Gaslit until all those who would be around him have been jabbed. BBC News has more.

According to reports, the U.S. streaming company will require that ‘Zone A’ personnel – actors and crew in close contact with them – must get the jab.

Other firms such as Google have said workers must get vaccinated before returning to the office. 

The policy will begin at its U.S. campuses and then be rolled out globally for its 144,000 employees.

Netflix has implemented the move after new standards were recently agreed between Hollywood unions and studios that would allow companies to implement mandatory vaccination policies for key cast members and crew. 

However, the actor Sean Penn wants the policy extended for all members of production, not just those classed as ‘Zone A’. …

Netflix is making the move after the U.S. Disease Control and Prevention announced earlier this week that masks will once again have to be worn indoors even by people who have been fully vaccinated.

As the BBC News report points out, Netflix is not the only company to demand proof of vaccination from its workers.

In June, Harry Potter publisher Bloomsbury said staff must have vaccinations ahead of their return to the workplace.

“The simple fact is that this virus is still extremely dangerous,” it said.

In the U.S., JP Morgan said in June that it would instruct staff to log their vaccination status on an internal web portal, with fully-jabbed employees being allowed to discard face masks at work.

Goldman Sachs bankers also have to disclose how many jabs they have had before returning to the office.

Worth reading in full.

The US is a very litigious country. Surely all it will take will be a successful lawsuit for damages caused by this policy. I guess that then if they change it so that people do NOT have to be jabbed, they will get people who get a Covid infection suing them for that. Oh what a pickle.

The onus should be on the jabbed and those pushing the vaccines, that aren’t vaccines, to prove that the work. That won’t be easy and is likely impossible.

The solution to this, I think, might be Sinovac. Sure, it’s not terribly effective, but it is a traditional vaccine and so maybe it’s a bit safer. Because China has the WHO in their pocket and everyone in the world wants to get Chinese tourists back into their equivalent of Bicester Village… I’m sure that it’ll be widely accepted as a vaccine for the vaccine passports even if it is only a little better than saline solution at preventing COVID-19.

The UK version is Valneva which seems to be heading for approval on the 12th of Never .
In the UK I don’t think there is anyway of getting Sinovac or Sinopharm

We know from SARS and MERS that using whole inactivated virus causes ADE, in animal trials at least, leading to the abandonment of the trials.

We have cheap, generic drugs that prevent and treat Covid. We don’t need more vaccines, we need a complete shift in government policy.

The one most likely to cause ADE you mean? And yes, I do think the Chinese are probably giving their citizens saline, unless your credit score is too low, in which case you probably get the real McCoy.

Public/private employer insists workers are fully “vaccinated” before returning to work – “m’kay, here’s an letter of acceptance of liability for harm and/or death if my employer makes it mandatory to be vaccinated using an EUA”

Then just wait. Don’t quit, wait until they terminate. Then litigate. 100% of businesses would collapse with an immediate reduction in staff of 5-15%. Walk. Call their bluff.

Yes indeed. Employers and others pushing these experimental products should be asked by employees etc to sign a watertight legal contract to the effect that if vaccine damage occurs then they will pay compensation to the injured or their heirs. As they tell you that the “vaccines” are so safe, they should have no problem here and the compensation levels can then be very high. Say death at a minimum figure of $5 or $10 millions plus all legal costs, but whatever, just name your own figure if you are worth more more. Watch their reaction, but make sure you have a good solicitor check over the documentation over first.

Perhaps a like minded Solicitor/lawyer could draw up a standard form contract that employees could present to their employer which provides the necessary comfort and protection. As you say if Companies and whilst we are at it why limit it to companies why not the Public sector employers and government, are so confident that the product is so safe that they make it a condition of employment they will have no fear in covering unlimited damages from death,or side effects resulting from the injection, or indeed if the injected still manages to catchj Covid post injection and is off work as a result. Any lawyer on this site willing to offer a public service?

It is more than about time the legal profession got involved in the cancellation of our freedoms. Let’s have one lawyer publish a legal document that is airtight for anyone who would like to use it at their place of employment. It cannot be that hard.

A vaccination (or other medical reason) would be administered under the Health & Safety At Work Act 1974 and supported by a risk assessment conducted iaw the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations. The Risk Assessment must show that there is a credible risk in the workplace of from a pathogen and that a medical intervention is a reasonably practicable and proportionate risk control measure. The company must then assume liability for any downside (i.e. death) to the control measure.

The company should also check with their insurer if they are covered if against any side effects of the medical procedure that they are forcing their employee to undertake. I would a guess that they’re not, which would make the company directors personally liable.

Any side effects are potentially reportable under Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurances Regulations (RIDDOR).

Ah that magic juice – only works if everyone has it. Everything about this propagandemic is novel isn’t it?

The virus is magically capable of significant levels of asymptomatic spread
Masks only work against this magic virus – but not for other respiratory infections
It’s so magic we need lockdowns, but not for flu
It magically stays on surfaces – even touching something is very dangerous

It’s like Voldemort this virus – capable of some great dark magic. There’s biology, chemistry and physics – and then there’s covid.

The magnificently virtuous Matt Damon gives a heart rending message about his frustrations with covid vaccine hesitancy.

“I have a couple friends who are immunocompromised, and they can’t get the vaccine, so they have no choice but to rely on the rest of us to do our part to get herd immunity. So I look at it that way.”

I hereby give a message about my frustation with idiocy: If someone’s immunocomprised every pathogen is a grave danger to him. A common cold will kill people whose immune system doesn’t stop it first. That’s how people with AIDS used to die: Their immune systems progessively weakened until they caught a disease generally considered to be perfectly harmless and died from the consequences.

Sars-CoV2 is not a dangerous novelty on a planet which used to be a safe space before 2020. If these friend are older than 18 months, they must have been able to cope with this somehow.

You would hope the unvaccinated would be asking for their accounts to be terminated en masse.

Given the US uptake is only 50% they could lose a lot of subscribers.

Time for some politicians to step up to the plate and encourage their voters to escape these plantations?

I haven’t used Netflix for a long time but i’ll be contacting them later to get my account permanently removed.

Actors and the generally left wing film studios types are probably in vast majority jabbed twice. Once they have to come for their booster shots the rules will be relaxed.

The simple fact is that the jabs don’t stop people catching or transmitting the virus! Vaccine passports are, thus, irrational.

Better reason not to buy a book published by Bloomsbury or watch anything produced by Netflix – god awful stuff that passes for culture – just watched 1956 film ‘The Harder They Fall’ on https://archive.org/details/movies?tab=collection brilliant free archive – the film is based on a Budd Schulberg novel – brilliant book. There’s culture and culture and Sean Penn et al. don’t cut it.

And there was me thinking that Sean Penn was some sort of free-thinking rebel and ‘hey presto!’ He’s not. I like his performances, he’s a good actor, but at the end of the day, he’s just an actor and actors act, sometimes even when they’re not acting. So maybe all this ‘rebel’ stuff was just a big ‘act’. Won’t stop me watching his films but has somewhat diminished his standing in my eyes.

Dear Sean Penn, honestly, who do you think gives a flying duck? Please feel free to get jabbed as much as you like, I’m about as interested in you as I am in watching paint dry! Do or don’t return to the set, for goodness sake we don’t care….it’s not important and neither are you or your opinions!
One of the marvellous things that might come out of this shitshow is that ‘celebrities’, whether they be actors, comedians or entertainers, and who I’ve managed to do without for eighteen months (and who genuinely I haven’t missed!) will never regain their former popularity. I know they won’t with me…
