Leaked Department of Health Memo Warns Ministers That NHS Vaccine Mandate May Not Survive Judicial Review as Vaccine Effectiveness Falls to Zero

by Will Jones
19 January 2022 7:00 AM

As the deadline for the NHS vaccine mandate approaches and worries about staff shortages and unfair treatment rise, a leaked document from the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) issues ministers with a stark warning, saying the new evidence on Omicron – showing vaccine effectiveness dropping to zero – casts doubts over the new law’s “rationality” and “proportionality”. The Guardian has the story.

Two jabs will become compulsory for frontline NHS staff from April 1st after MPs voted on the legislation last month.

But the document, drawn up by Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) officials and seen by the Guardian, said the evidence base on which MPs voted “has changed”, creating a higher chance of objections and judicial review.

The effectiveness of only two vaccine doses against Omicron, and the lower likelihood of hospitalisations from the milder variant, are cited.

More than 70,000 NHS staff – 4.9% – could remain unvaccinated by April 1st, the document says. NHS trusts in England are preparing to start sending dismissal letters from February 3rd to any member of staff who has not had their first dose by then.

Amid significant pressures on the NHS, last week groups including the Royal College of Nursing urged Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, to delay the legislation, known as “vaccination as a condition of deployment” (VCOD2). An earlier VCOD1 rule applied to care workers and came into force on November 11th.

On Tuesday the Royal College of Nursing said the leaked memo should prompt ministers to call a halt to the imposition of compulsory jabs, which it called “reckless”. …

The document prepared by DHSC officials noted that two vaccine doses provide up to 32% effectiveness against Omicron infection, which wanes to in effective zero 20 weeks later.

At the time the policy was developed, two-dose effectiveness against infection with the Delta variant was substantially higher – 65% with Oxford/AstraZeneca and 80% with Pfizer/BioNTech, the DHSC memo said.

Booster jabs have since been shown to be highly effective but are not part of the law for NHS workers.

The article quotes from the memo itself:

While Omicron is more transmissible there appears to be a substantially lower risk of hospitalisation and mortality for those vaccinated vs Delta. The low VE [vaccine effectiveness] against infection (and consequently effect on transmission) plus the lower risk posed by Omicron brings into question both the rationality of the VCOD2 policy and its proportionality and makes the case for vaccination requirement weaker than when [ministers] decided on the policy.

The evidence base on which MPs voted on VCOD2 has now changed and we may see more objections from MPs, increased media interest and higher likelihood of judicial review.

It adds that work is under way with the UKHSA “to pull together evidence” for Javid to advise on “appropriate next steps” on the policy and “the inclusion of boosters”.

The article notes that hospital bosses have voiced rising concerns that they “may have to close entire units and send patients elsewhere for treatment because the enforced dismissal of unvaccinated staff means they cannot run safely”, with particular concern about maternity units owing to a shortage of 2,500 midwives already.

However, despite the leaked memo a DHSC spokesman has dismissed any prospect of a delay.

Health and social care workers look after the most vulnerable people in society, who could face serious health consequences if exposed to the virus. Ensuring staff are vaccinated is the right thing to do to protect patients and those in care. The vast majority of NHS staff have had the vaccine which is our best defence against COVID-19.

Worth reading in full.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-60048390

Its not an assumption – its a fact. Its even milder than the largely benign previous variants. You could hardly get milder – any milder and it would be a health supplement

Dr Tedros who has no medical training, was part of a group defined by the USA as a terrorist organisation, which was condemned for crimes against humanity, which by the way was extreme communist, hence his close relationship with China, Dr Tedros who greased the wheels for Bill Gates to carry out his “health experiments” in his country and so guaranteed his place at the WHO. Of course he says its going to be worse, he needs Bill and his mates to sell more crap drugs and get more power.

So did Neil Ferguson and his dreadful Imperial College team. They said that there was no evidence that it was milder, even though there was abundant evidence. Their lies influenced the government into introducing Plan B and the hated vaccine passports, and Parliament signing off on terminating the employment of unvaccinated health and care workers.

These lies by ‘scientists’ are wrecking our society.

Mandating jabbing is also illegal – s.45E Public Health Act 1984 specifically forbids it.

The PHA is primary legislation, it cannot be overridden by secondary legislation i.e. the Health Secretary’s decree.

Mandating jabbing also flies in the face of UK’s commitment to human rights charters.

There is no real threat UNLESS Johnson changes the law to make mandating jabs legal…….something I would not put past this government (which is still holding ‘emergency powers’ don’t forget).

Besides which, why are they mandating TWO jabs, when in November Johnson and Javid told us that THREE were essential?

It’s all a bluff – doctors, nurses, admin and ancillary HOLD YOUR LINE.

Yes but weren’t care workers able to self exempt from having the jabs until 24th December (I believe)? Then they were given 12 weeks to obtain medical exemption which put them on a par with other health workers for the April 1st deadline. There has been very little in the news about masses of care homes closing down as a result of sackings.

The policy is known in government as ‘vaccination as a condition of deployment’.

They have been very crafty in the legislation. There is no law affecting the individual worker who is unvaccinated – they are not in breach of any law if they continue to work after April 1. It is the persons employing them that become criminalized if they continue to employ them or allow them on the premises. Thus they are trying to skirt around employee protections by imposing restrictions on the employer or ‘registered person’ responsible for premises and/or engaging workers. It’s clear in the legislation, but in very legalese language, so here it in in the explanatory memorandum alongside the statutory instrument:

a registered person must secure that a person is only permitted entry into the premises…[if] the person has provided evidence to the registered person that they have been vaccinated with a complete course of doses of an authorised vaccine…

a registered person must secure that a person is only employed or otherwise engaged for the purpose of a regulated activity if, subject to certain conditions, they have similarly been vaccinated with a complete course of doses of an authorised vaccine…

The Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, the Rt Hon Sajid Javid MP has
made the following statement regarding Human Rights:

“In my view the provisions of the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated
Activities) (Amendment) (Coronavirus) (No. 2) Regulations 2022 are compatible with the Convention rights.”

Note that: ‘In my view’. Others might very well take a different view.

The problem with lies and fake steering is that eventually it catches up with you.

we’ve been pushed the narrative from the health experts that we all need vaccines and the public consensus was allowed to believe the narrative that somehow vaccines where superior to natural immunity.

the truth and reality is that the vaccines work best when targeted to the vulnerable, but are not needed by all.

trying to unwind the consensus and somehow make it ok to not be vaccinated will be a challenge and make the health secretary look like an idiot.

its up to the government to put the blame on the advisors which was inevitable anyway.

Not really. If we wish to communicate effectively we should try to make each each message clear and simple. Anything which detracts from that is a hindrance.

I tried to read an article a few weeks ago, referenced here possibly, and it was a long essay, in which the author did not use one capital letter and barely any paragraphs. The lack of capital letters became a distraction and I gave up reading. It was quite clear the author thought lack of capitals was hip and trendy. It wasn’t and it is not.

It is lazy and shows little respect for the readership.

There are many lawyers amongst our MPs, and many more lawyers advising them.

A big problem will come later, when those effectively forced to take the vaccine in order to maintain their livelihood will demand compensation.

Indeed, the (litigious) West has a problem in that the legal fallout of all this covid mess could well be crippling in itself.

Crippling – maybe, but who for?

There’s already been a case (France, I believe) of health insurance refusing to pay out for a vaccine death, and pharma has been granted immunity. So it’s either nobody paying out or – as always in this shitshow – it’s the government, i.e. taxpayers.

And the branch of the NHS promoting it’s use did not promise that it would, either. In the leaflet issued to me 10 months ago, it said: “We do not yet know whether it will stop from catching and passing on the virus” So, it is important to follow the guidance in your local area to protect those around you”.

They’ve got the answer now – it doesn’t have any such effect, apparently. No justification for coercing it’s use in the trade.

This morning on R4 there was discussion on the serious problem within the care sector that job shortages have increased from 6% to 11.5% since April, and how devastating this is for the care and mental well-being of residents and patients. Despite discussing why this was the case, with the emphasis on wages, they didn’t mention the blindingly obvious.

I’m “holding the line” but am sick with worry and anxiety.
The Trust I work at appears almost desperate to sack us – so keen are they to get our names on the “list” – they went through the nims database to find us all rather than wait for us to tell them our jab status.
Bullying of unjabbed staff is rife (and bullying of patients too).
I have formally written to the chief exec denouncing the policy and them, but it will do nothing.
My career seems over, regardless.

I guess you will have to wait to be sacked (I’d never quit in this position) and take legal action, maybe there will be a large suit you could join? If they are forcing these through knowing that protection wanes and transmission is hardly effected, you can bet your butt it’ll be roll up the sleeves every winter from now on.

Pretty disgusting, whichever way you look at it.

I wish I could offer words of comfort. I can barely imagine what you are going through.

C1984 is not going to kill people under 70 who are reasonably fit and well. The worst case scenario if you catch it is two weeks off sick, but you return with up-to-date, lifelong immunity. Or you might never go off sick because you already have immunity.

The suggestion that non injected health workers are a threat to anyone is an outright lie. The ludicrousness of further enfeebling, deliberately the National Health Service is unbelievable, but it is being done.

The sensible approach would be to allow non injected staff to carry on working. I certainly would prefer to be treated by non injected carers.

The murderous insanity continues.

Sorry to hear about your dire situation. I’m lucky (?) enough to be working for NHS Wales, although if this mandate does go ahead in England, I figure it’s only a matter of time before dreadful Drakeford imposes it here and I find myself in the same situation as you. I certainly won’t go down without a fight. I hope you are currently putting in a (group) grievance towards all those who are bullying you, maybe even considering suing the chief exec who’s clearly endorsing this discriminatory and arguably unlawful action. It’s far too easy for these jumped up covid nazis to hide behind the organisation. They need calling to account. Good luck!

How can Johnson keep his job? Unless you think it’s deliberate, you would have to believe that he lacks the ability to ask a simple question. “Ok sir we have a great idea to stop the spread, Vax passports” Johnson: “Does the vax stop transmission?” “Well no” Johnson: “Great let’s do it!”.

Either he is to stupid to ask, or to understand the answer. Either way a complete clown….. or it’s deliberate.

Its looking deliberate – in same way that none of this is about health – if anything it is the opposite of health.

All they want is a passport – the fact that they have tied it to a dodgy jab is a bit tricky for them now – but I have every confidence they will find a way to wriggle around it and pull the wool over the eyes of the gullible British people.

Delaying is not enough and boosters are NOT highly effective.
But they know that, of course.
The real intention is to wait for the Omicron gene therapy in March, hope for it making a difference, aka a chance to manipulate the data so that is showing a difference, and then continue with the mandate and more.
If Pfizer’s Omicron version is just as useless and proven to be so in time by reality, we might stand a chance of burying this.
Until the next virus/plandemic.

If they tried that in court, even with the pro government stance on such matters, it’d be so see through as to be effectively useless to force mandates.

They’d simply need to show the timeline from 95% effectiveness to the need for a new vaccine to show that expectations should be restrained that it will hold up this time.

Partly – the Judge wasn’t exactly what you would call vigilant when the defence counsel was presenting his closing argument. I think in summing up he might have told the jury to ‘disregard’ certain statements made by defence counsel, but all that does is cover his backside, as by that stage, jury has heard them and damage to prosecution case is done.

Surely anything designed to counter omicron (as if a common cold needs countering anyway) will no longer be needed by March. I would have thought by then that if you were going to get this cold, you would have already caught it, and also the northern hemisphere will be going into summer when bugs like this disappear. How on earth would they persuade people to be jabbed for something so inconsequential? If covid rules and regs are dropped next week, everyone, including the devout covidians, will start to move on to other concerns, like rising inflation, increasing energy bills etc.

Mercola has a paper today saying that the entire narrative on the pandemic is undergoing a radical overhaul and that in the US the pandemic “needs” to be over by March 1, and the reasons he cites would also apply to the UK, where a similar [altho not identical] time frame and reasoning would apply.

“In a January 10, 2022, blog post, Jeff Childers, an attorney, and the president and founder of Childers Law firm, presents a hypothesis for why we might be looking at the end of the pandemic, as the Biden administration has ‘no reasonable alternative but to wrap this whole thing up in the next 60 days or so.’ ”

He points out how a federal judge recently ordered the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to release all the Pfizer COVID jab data that the agency wanted 75 years to release. The bulk of that data is now due March 1, 2022, the day of Biden’s State of the Union address. Childers suspects the Pfizer documents will contain plenty of counternarrative fodder and politically embarrassing details.

Biden needs some good news by his State of the Union address, as it’ll be his last chance to “help move the needle back toward blue,” and the way he can do that is by declaring the pandemic over. He can then claim to be the great liberator who ended the pandemic measures for good.

“If they handle this right, they can give their voting base and sycophantic media agents all the necessary talking points to boost Dem prospects for the midterm elections,” Childers writes.

But to pull off that U-turn with any semblance of credibility, they have to start cutting the case rate now, and that’s precisely what we’re seeing. For example, the CDC recently changed its guidelines so you don’t need to retest after you’ve recovered from COVID, so no more false positives from recovered people.

The same sudden switch in narrative can be seen in Europe. Childers continues:

“Yesterday, the Guardian UK ran a story headlined, ‘End mass jabs and live with COVID, says ex-head of vaccine taskforce.’ It says Dr. Clive Dix — former chairman of the UK’s vaccine taskforce — has called for a ‘major rethink’ of the UK’s COVID strategy, in effect reversing the approach of the past two years and returning to a ‘new normality.’

Shocking the cores the oft-maligned authors of the Great Barrington Declaration, Dr. Dix — without getting cancelled — said this:

‘We need to analyze whether we use the current booster campaign to ensure the vulnerable are protected, if this is seen to be necessary … Mass population-based vaccination in the UK should now end.’ Ending mass vaccinations? Suddenly that idea is okay to discuss in the corporate media? Wow.”

In a January 3, 2022, interview with the Daily Telegraph, professor Andrew Pollard, head of the U.K.’s Committee on Vaccination and Immunization who helped create the Oxford-AstraZeneca shot, also made a previously verboten statement: “We can’t vaccinate the planet every four or six months,” he said. “It’s not sustainable or affordable.” And, like Dix, Pollard was not cancelled, censored or de-platformed.” He also cites similar statements by the EMA and WHO about repeated vaccination.

UK has elections coming up in May and if Tories are not to get slammed in those elections [espec after the PM’s partygate shambles where word from constituencies that it isn’t looking good] then they need a positive spin to put on pandemic too: we got UK out of it.

So in a nutshell, there needs to be some substantial goal post moving and quickly. So they will do anything to cut the case rate and take the bad look off the jab performance.

Note those words: returning to a new normality. Pre March 2020 doesn’t look to be coming back

We ask the question of our rancid, NWO compliant governing class…If the EUA for the vaccines require at least 50% efficacy in stopping the spread of the GOF bio-weapon, and they are now, it has been posited, negatively efficacious, WHY THE FUCK HAVE YOU NOT PULLED EM ALREADY?

Out of date jab- junk to have its shelf life extended due to over ordering for the Christmas / New Year booster campaign and low uptake.

https://www.hsj.co.uk/coronavirus/millions-of-covid-vaccines-set-to-expire-within-two-weeks-leaked-memo-warns/7031712.article

It seems there is a quantity of vaccine in stock, which was released in December to support the booster campaign, that potentially will reach its expiry date within the next couple of weeks or so.

Coerced jabs of expired questionable drugs. What a caring, health – conscious Conservative government we have. Who will be the lucky recipients? Some of the brow beaten NHS staff who may succumb to the threat of loss of employment? Of course it’s all about health…

They were questionable before they reached their expiry date. Wonder what they do inside the human body if they are injected after expiry date?? I dread to think. And even worse, do they even know?

If you want to ensure those working with the most vulnerable are “safe” they would use daily testing (for what it’s worth). Vaccine mandates, the idea justifiable in January 2021 that is a sick joke in January 2022.

Fundamentally disagree with your first point. The testing of the health and even the mildly ill has to stop, as does the myopic obsession with this particular virus.

We need to get back to pre-2020 when you stayed at home if you were sick and didn’t need a test to tell you which particular brand of flu / cold virus you had, and then you just got better. And if you were not sick, you went about your daily business, unencumbered and unrestricted. And if you were really, really sick, you saw a doctor / went to hospital, at which point testing may be appropriate in order to determine treatment options

But yes – vaccine mandates are sick and a total violation of everything that a free, democratic society stands for.

Isn’t there a real risk that they will just double down a la France, and insist on ‘boosters’ as well? Three jabs and you keep your job. Probably not enough time left to do this unless they extend the compliance deadline because of ‘new information’.
Maybe Johnson’s tenuous hold on his job will prevent this, but that may be the only thing holding them back.
I think there is an abundance of over-optimism on the comments recently. This is not over, they are regrouping for the final assault on our freedoms.

I guess they could back off til we get the triple jab (covi/flu/rsv ) next year- as the vax cos say, it will substantially increase “compliance “
as far as I know flu jab and hep b are pretty much mandated for nhs as it is and in their contract…. sneaky bastards

If we still had a functioning legal system and universal human rights actually were universal, and any court would deign to HEAR these cases, I have no doubt it would all be declared illegal.

But until that happens…

And the countries largest health workers union, unison, views on compulsory vaccine are?

It’s not clear from their position on the fence, probably because they’re to busy protecting global corps agendas, diversity, Trans, climate justice & ironically, “inclusion”.

I know it is only anecdotal evidence, but I’m going to describe recent real world experience of NI and jabs re Omicron.

Me – nothing more than natural immunity. Recent brush with Omicron – felt bit ropey for 24 hours, threw some vit C and quercetin at it. Next day back to normal.

Relative (admittedly of the, shall we say, “well built” variety), similar age, double jabbed and boosted, has caught covid for second time, and is quite badly affected – not the ‘mild’ Omicron version.

So not only do the jabs wane, if they ever do anything, but they also cripple an immune system from developing the wide ranging antibodies which you get if you benefit from NI.

If, as the leaked memo described, the effectiveness of the jabs has fallen to zero (I’d say the effect is now negative from what I am seeing) then this goes wider than the sacking of NHS staff who are unjabbed. It also means there is no justification for the vaccine passports and if this evidence justifies the lifting of the jab mandates then the vaccine passes should also be removed as well.

I recommend everyone to read Real Anthony Fauci by Bobby Kennedy Jr. On chapther 3 he explains how Ivermectin could have saved 80 percent of deaths Worldwide. This book have opened my eyes. I now know that, 90% of all medicine is not for anything else than profit for them. Low profit and effective medicines are bashed and marketed as ineffective because they go against their narrative and profit plans. One of them is wonder drug Ivermectin. I see that everyday people search for it but can’t find a place to obtain. You can get yours by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com

Knowing the road of travel the Globalists want. Knowing how these people change and manipulate language. I would say that first, the jabs are working extremely well in that they are breaking down the immune system and in many cases killing people. The reason the pharmaceutical companies are saying the jabs don’t work is to encourage people to take boosters (money for Big Pharma) and priming people to get chipped later down the line.

We need to stop taking their rhetoric on face value. Initially they told us to take the vaccine for health reasons. They did not at any time tell us what those health reasons were. We assumed it was for the good because we have been primed to think the Government would do us no harm.

All governments make like worse for their citizens and we need to understand that.

They don’t stop transmission they don’t stop infection. The most dangerous spreaders are vaxxed. Asymptomatic unjabbed can’t spread it any more than asymptomatic could spread a common cold. If symptomatic of a cold most people would stay away from most other people, especially the vulnerable. Alwayds have!

”Can’t afford to be…”? Surely, though, it’s someone else’s money, someone who’s got plenty. And since we won’t be ”allowed” to vote again, I don’t suppose it’ll make much difference in the end – and it won’t be THEIR end.

Having listened to the entire 3 hours of Joe Rogan’s interview with Dr Robert Malone, inventor and patent holder of mRNA technology, I wouldn’t touch a Pfizer or Moderna vaccine with a barge pole. Especially not as an unnecessary booster mixed with original AZ.
