Care Sector Could Lose up to 60,000 Staff Under New Mandatory Vaccination Measures

2 min read

Starting from today, all care workers that have not been double vaccinated will be sacked. It is estimated that roughly 60,000 will lose their jobs as a result, with 20,000 having already resigned or been fired by their employer before the new law was applied. The Telegraph has more.

Industry leaders have repeatedly urged the Government to consider an “11th-hour reprieve” amid fears that the sector could lose up to 60,000 staff as a direct result of mandatory jabs.

However, a leading membership body has indicated that tens of thousands of staff may have already quit or been sacked as a result of the “chaotic” new rules, as the sector awaits the impact of the Department for Health and Social Care’s (DHSC) ‘no jab, no job’ policy on the final number of carers.

The National Care Forum (NCF), representing over 150 leading not-for-profit social care providers, surveyed its members and found that thousands of carers had already quit, and raised fears of the “human costs, financial costs and the loss in trust and goodwill amongst care staff and their employers as a direct result of this policy”.

The response from the member organisations, which support over 11,000 people, operate around 300 services and employ approximately 14,000 staff, found that 3.5% of carers had already left as a result of resignation or dismissal.

The survey, which covers the period between November 2nd to 8th, found that a further 4.4% might yet leave (including those who have self-certified for exemption or are currently seeking medical certification).

An extrapolation of the NCF figures suggests that if 3.5% of the current 550,000 carer workforce have already quit or been sacked, it means that as many as 19,250 may have already quit across the entire sector.

The NCF is not the only group concerned that thousands have already quit. Another leading industry body, which did not want to be identified, said the figure could be “even higher” than 20,000.

The NCF described the national rollout of the mandatory vaccine policy as “chaotic”.

Wouldn’t it be a thing if we had a ‘health’ secretary who actually had some kind of qualification in health, medicine or science? Or would that be far too radical?

Sadly, the only difference it would make is that, rather than getting away with only being called ‘thick’, they would be called ‘corrupt’. The actions being taken would still be the same.

Surely the ‘law’ makers won’t care, because their elders will be comfortably ensconced in private facilities, the same sort of facilities that will cater for their own medical needs. Who needs to worry about public hospitals and care homes when you’ve got money, influence and power?

The Health Secretary has made a number of statements which indicate he either cannot control those “advisers” who write his statements to the HoC or has no idea of the subject about which he utters.

He states that boosters are to be mandated to improve the NHS presumably to protect medics and patients – who may be admitted with or without CV19. The boosters as far as I read and understand are the self same concoctions rolled out from early 2020 onwards not least because there is no other EUA approved jab. It beggars belief that an allegedly intelligent MP/Government Minister does not grasp that the Alpha variant S1 spike protein inducing jab does not work, his department/UKHSA/ONS data confirms this, other countries data likewise.

The fact that he announces it will only be so from next April says everything you need to know about him, Johnson, this Tory dictatorship – words fail me

But it is not the fact that he might be ignorant – I do not buy that in the sense that he does NOT know the “truth”; but I DO consider him and his cabinet colleagues, their SPADS, Quango personnel etc to be truly evil and… Read more »

My impression is that the NY Times is absolutely unreliable in Editorial, but it is largely factually correct in news. How could Germany be having a pandemic of only unvaccinated people when there is plentyof serious covid among the vaccinated of countries like Israel? And the US?

While the MSM condemns the use of ivermectin, the most populated state in India just declared they are officially COVID free after promoting widespread use of the safe, proven medicine. In addition to this, Ivermectin attaches to covid spikes and prevents them from binding to ACE2. Get your Ivermectin today while you still can! https://ivmpharmacy.com

I cannot get my head around the sheer level of evil callousness evident on social media in response to this.

I just watched footage of a care home manager in tears over having to sack colleagues. The misery in her voice utterly tore at my heart. And worse, it’s exactly the same tears and misery I see in my wife, who will shortly be getting the boot after 23 years from the NHS.

There are countless comments on the post from snarky bellends blaming the victims once again. It makes me want to snap their necks. I hate them with every fibre of my being.

This makes Javid’s boast that the government refuses to scrap this mandate because it ‘cares’ about the residents to be a total lie.

This policy, which renders some care homes non-viable, and others running a reduced level of care, has a very obvious and predictable outcome, as indeed did lockdowns: certain death.

Another cull to add to all the others. Hancock did his cull by putting infection in the care homes, and Javid add his cull by making care crumble. Hancock was challenged in Parliament about it when he was doing it, and he brazenly said that he was going to continue to put patients from hospital knowing many were likely infected. Likewise Javid yesterday confirmed that he was doing the right thing dismissing staff who would not drink his Kool-Aid.

None of this has anything to do with public health (apart from destroying it, of course).

I see yet another highly regarded body-builder has suddenly died. I’ve been paying attention to the alarming number of body-builders dying over the last year and those in the industry are starting to really freak-out with worry for their own wellbeing.

Today it’s being reported that Victor Richards has suddenly died. This follows Matt Mendenhall, George Peterson, Shawn Rhoden and John Meadows. Someone called Kali Muscle nearly died from a heart attack.

You have to wonder if there’s any conflict between the fake vaccine and the steroid abuses body builders are known for. For clarity, I haven’t checked the background of each case so I am not saying that any of these individuals abused steroids or had the double-jab, but the sudden huge spike in deaths in this profession most raise questions.

It would be valuable though to look at the deaths figures for such people from 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, etc.

That way, the study would be as valuable as Dr. David Grimes’ study of deaths of BAME doctors vs white doctors. He read the BMJ obituaries over a long period, he judged from the photograph what the doctor’s ethnicity was and he also recorded the age of death. He found that BAME doctors died much younger on average than white ones. Doctors are all high-status individuals, so it wasn’t due to differences in status. He concluded that the likely explanation was vitamin D.

Just been listening to some very sensible care workers talking on local radio. Some of them have been double jabbed ( under duress) but they talked about asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic double jabbed being more dangerous than those who were not jabbed but were taking regular tests.
One of the contributors was a domiciliary worker who told the listeners that he and other domiciliary workers were not being forced to take the jab. It only applied to residential homes. Don’t know if this is true or not.
Once again, as with mask exemptions, businesses are doing the government’s dirty work for it. I would guess that a lot of health care workers have, with the blessing of their bosses, declared themselves exempt as did I for mask wearing.

And a significant part of the ‘dirty work’ is the somewhat backdoor admission that ‘exemption’ is, in effect, a private decision and declaration. It does NOT need to be approved by any third party. Its quite clever politics to avoid the risk of being sued for one thing or another, by deliberately misleading the general public, and at the same time publishing clauses that keep themselves out of potential legal problems, with it all being hidden away in the appendix etc.

In the meantime, there is a lot of confusion which is being deliberately enhanced by the usual suspects.

Were we not so far down the rabbit hole I’ve little doubt that the Tribunals would ultimately uphold unfair dismissal claims.
But, we are where we are and as such the powers that be could alter employment law to suit any eventuality.

That said, it will be interesting to see what happens should a reluctant jabee contract a serious chronic auto immune disease – or death – proven to be caused by the jab.
All care employees must beforehand make it clear in writing to their employers and the “Health Secretary” (oxymoron) that they will be taking the jab just to keep their job, and that apart they would choose to remain unjabbed because of the eminently foreseeable adverse health consequences.

This is Court of Appeal/Supreme Court territory territory.
It would take a trashing of both the Common Law and Statute to alter the law so as to preclude potential claimants success given the above scenario.

I’m sure many Lawyers are on this BUT please spread it around.

This is still more good news for the unvaxxed, but only if these employees stand firm.
Just as nature (allegedly) abhors a vacuum, a proper laissez- faire economy (as opposed to the risk free, taxpayer subsidised, profit for all crony-economics of the current government) would never let an opportunity like this pass by:
1) There are several million unvaxxed people needing day to day healthcare (as well as long term social care), who no longer trust the NHS or want to catch nasty spikey variants from the experimentally vaxxed guinea pigs while attending, and…
2) There are countless thousands of soon to be unemployed unvaxxed expert medical professionals and carers.
Put the two together and you have foundation of an Alternative Health Service for those who will not be bullied or coerced into Big Pharma guinea-piggery. And since this AHS is going to look after 10% – 20% of the population, then it has a legitimate demand on 15%-20% of the NHS resources and capital that we have all paid into.

Surely anyone forced out or dismissed is entitled to their day in court to argue that refusal to take part in a medical trial cannot be grounds for dismissal – especially when the medicine being trialed neither claims (by the manufacturers) to be able to prevent infection and transmission nor has it proven to do so in real world use.

As has now been shown in numerous research studies and in a submission to the FDA by Pfizer for their new antiviral pill, both the pill and the WHO ‘essential’ medicine ivermectin block replication of the SARS-CoV-2 virus in patients, AND that neither rely on the patient’s immune system (that fails for many reasons i.e. old age, obesity insulin resistance etc.) to do the heavy lifting of resisting the virus.

As far back as February Oxford University told us that this illness could be dealt with via budesonide, a well established asthma treatment that is very safe and costs pennies.

In my post the other day, I said that I had written to the MRHA on this very subject- ie once the wonder pills are approved for use against Covid will that negate the vaccine emergency licence?

I wrote back, repeating my question which had not been answered.

Avoiding answering the question is close to an admission of guilt. I thought there were at least two justifications of “Emergency Use Authorisation”: 1. There is actually an emergency. 2. There is no alternative treatment available.

They had to give them EUAs to justify the massive investment of our money and, to continue with the lack of early treatment provided to patients, many of whom died for lack of treatment because multiply novel vaccines (mRNA + Lipid nano particles) were the ONLY solution to the pandemic that wouldn’t have been called such without the 2009 change of definition so that mass fatalities were no longer a requisite. NB Italy, on evidence of whose fatalities we all panicked, have revised the ‘of covid’ fatalities by 97%, that 97% now being recorded as ‘with covid’ presumably, even fewer ‘of covids’ than the US CDC whose estimate in spring 2020 was 6%.
The inconvenient truth is that we never had a pandemic, and everything that followed was unnecessary, EVERYTHING.

I think the point is they want the pandemic to be deadly. What will be the net result of this policy? More elderly people will die. The government know this. They must either want this to happen, or they don’t care how many people die because their main objective, whatever it is, is more important to them.
