Mandatory vaccination for health and social care workers will be scrapped in a fortnight following a Government U-turn. The Mail has the story.
Ministers were accused of undermining public confidence after Health Secretary Sajid Javid told MPs in January that the “no jab, no job” policy was “no longer proportionate”.
Now it has been confirmed that compulsory jabs will no longer be a condition of employment from March 15th.
It comes after an estimated 40,000 workers were fired when legislation over being fully vaccinated came into effect in November.
Mr Javid said that it had been the “right policy when the original decision was taken”.
But he added that things had changed following “clinical evidence regarding the current Omicron variant of COVID-19, which is intrinsically less severe than Delta, and the high rate of vaccination across the population”.
Pat Cullen, General Secretary of the Royal College of Nursing, said the change was the “right decision” but said it had come “too late for those who have already lost their jobs”.
She added: “Ministers must now urgently address the health and social care workforce crisis which is undermining nursing staff’s ability to care safely for their patients. There are tens of thousands of nursing vacancies across those services.”
Previously the NHS vaccine mandate had been paused ahead of an anticipated large number of staff losses at a time of crisis. The policy was put out to consultation, and the Government decision has now been announced, with the care home worker mandate, which had come into effect in the autumn at the cost of an estimated 40,000 workers, also being scrapped. This will allow any sacked workers who want their old jobs back to offer their services again.
Good news – but it’s a tragedy that hard working staff were put through this at all. And a further tragedy that care home residents have had to suffer the consequences of under-staffing, which alongside the rigours of Covid protocols will have taken its toll.
Vigilance will be required to ensure mandates don’t creep in via professional bodies or other means.

“But given that the lab leak (deliberate or
accidental) came from Wuhan, and given the
Chinese cover up and given the Fauci denials
exposed by Senator Rand Paul, and given the
NIH, NIAID cover ups and the US Intelligence
services cover up, when their 3 month long
report into the origin of Covid-19 ordered by
presidential impersonator Biden yielded
nothing, and given the relationships between
the NIAID, the NIH, the WIV, the EcoHealth
Alliance, the University of North Carolina and
Moderna, I cannot see any room for anyone
else.”

What an utterly disgusting government policy, damaging careers with experimental injections that are dangerous, destroying their livelihoods and wrecking the care of our old people. We should be insisting on compensation and reinstatement for all of these people. It’s difficult to imagine a better way of demoralising our society. I loathe this Government.
Unfortunately a month to late for me having been press ganged into having the first clot shot. I wont bore people with the reasons why I didn’t have a choice.
However, I certainly wont be having any more of this muck injected into me.
Javid has merde for brains, and not much covering them.
‘It was the right policy when the decision was taken’ indeed.
How in hell did we end up with yet another dunderhead in charge of Health?
What his words actually mean: “We thought we could bully you all into compliance, but since enough of you held out, the joke’s on those who did comply”.
The old ‘the science changed’ malarky – changed just at the right moment to get us off the hook of idiot upon which we had hung ourselves. There must be thousands of scientists, on call, working feverishly through the night to change the science from one day to the next as required.
There is no science in the history of Man, that would say of A is vaccinated, B must be vaccinated to protect A or be protected from A.
Of course that assumes the vaccine actually is a vaccine, but when it isn’t it doesn’t matter how many are vaccinated.
What Omicron did was to demonstrate the pseudo-vaccines not only had failed, but booster doses actually significantly increased infection spread.
Agreed. And if you have some spare time this more or less admits that, and almost explains what the problems are with them:
A few brief comments on this item on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPPnyzvO7J4&list=WL&index=109
It’s a discussion between Dr. John Campbell and Prof. Robert Clancy down under. About 1 hr 5 mins.
The first few minutes are an explanation of the biological mechanics of how our immune systems work. Although the disease under consideration is Covid-19, one would think that it is used for similar viruses – e.g. 229E and the other coronaviruses.
From about 15 min in, they move on to the topic of treatment and mitigation techniques, in effect, including the “vaccination” method. From about 18 R admits that it does not actually work all that well after a while, almost along the idea of the product in use becoming less effective. The more you take it in, the less useful it is, as it were.
A bit of a pejorative laugh from R around 20 minutes about alternative treatments, which tells it’s own story.
From about 25 on, R explains why the novel vaccines against mucosal infections differ from those that deal with the likes of measles.… Read more »
Javid: “But he added that things had changed following “clinical evidence regarding the current Omicron variant of COVID-19, which is intrinsically less severe than Delta, and the high rate of vaccination across the population”.
So, no mention of vaccines not actually stopping Covid and transmitting it. Lying by omission.
Yes, but I think you’ll find that the paperwork they issued never said that it would do either of those things. The one I had through the post just said that they don’t know yet (last March). Of course, the usual suspects promoted policies that implied that it would, but that’s politics.
Can the Whitehall bullies extract the “vaccines” from those they leaned so heavily on to obey? Thought not. Bastiges!!
Every sacked Care Worker should get compensation for unfair dismissal.
It is NEVER RIGHT to made medical treatments mandatory.
Agreed. “Where there’s risk there should be choice” ought to be the general consensus. And a quick look on any adverse event reporting system will show just the tip of the iceberg of the risks you run. Some people are quite blase about playing Russian roulette with their health but that doesn’t mean everybody should take that attitude. These health care workers have been treat appallingly and need justice.
This isn’t a polite debate where the issue is finished. This is a tactical retreat in a war.
No-one should have any illusions that this war will require the gloves to come off sooner rather than later.
Careers need to be ended and public humiliations need to be absolute. Bill Gates needs the ‘Russian treatment’ and so do Soros, Schwab, Google, Facebook and Twitter.
A start. Now the government needs to force all businesses to stop discriminating against the unvaccinated and scrap all the legal and regulatory pretexts for seizing our freedoms in return for bogus “health security” – whatever the hell that is.
Listen to Lord Gumption, you ‘orrible lot!
Scrapping isn’t enough. Every single one of those people who lost their jobs last year to a tyranny should be compensated with at least their lost income in the interim and additionally some money for the mental abuse they suffered.
Then we can get onto compensating the self-employed that Sunak took up the arse.
It could be worse than that, if certain people have suffered medical damage on account of being coerced into it. I suppose legal damage claims could ensue; whether they would work out financially will depend on the solicitors, barristers, and the attitude of county court judges then.
What a climb down, this must all be rather humiliating for an arrogant man with a god complex.
Perhaps it’s just a tactical climb down before the new Bill of Rights gets its legs, a section of which promotes personal responsibility vis a vis the wider community….ergo..mandatory vaccinations across the board.
Medical clinics and hospitals in USA are denying life-saving Ivermectin medicine even with court orders. Big Pharma doing all that they can to push the vaxx and inoculate us while effective and cheap COVID cures exist. There turns out to be censorship that we have never seen before for those who are looking for these treatments. We say over and over again that indepenedent researchers found Ivermectin safe and very effective for these Flu-Corona symptoms. Getting Ivermectin is easy! You can get yours by visiting https://ivmpharmacy.com
Nobody needs Ivermectin for a non-existent pandemic. Are you on a commission?
Well, apparently HM Queen is being treated with it for her bout of covid. All those jabs she had which didn’t hurt a bit (according to her) didn’t protect her from it. Fact that no one else is allowed to be treated with Ivermectin seems to have escaped MSM’s notice
The only reason these vaccine mandates have been so-called scrapped is because the mandates are coming in via the back door and through the WHO.
When Bozo signs away our sovereignty the WHO will pass a piece of guidance mandating the “vaccines” so implementation will be “not me guv” – Bozo. Those of us who say no will be Locked Out, just as has occurred in Europe.
Well spotted HP.
This is the result of health policies driven by corruption, ignorance, vested interests and downright incompetence and stupidity.
Add to those the supine media, now wholly-bribed government subsidiaries and rigged, distorted opinion polls, and the result is the rubbish we see and endure.
just checking as the site has frozen
Too late we’re coming after ya
“Marching on Moscow was the right policy when the original decision was taken” said Emperor Napoleon to our roving reporter. But he added that things had changed following evidence of inclement weather.
Marshal Ney,1st Duke of Elchingen, said the change was the “right decision” but said it had come “too late for those who have already lost their lives”.
I see the child came through again, about an hour ago, down-dinging everything.
That’s what the Web has attracted over the past 20 years. It’s a valuable tool for the dissemination of information, for communication. However, it’s also a place where The Eternal Child can stomp its little footsie and throw tantrums.
(Or also, where the Child can pontificate like it’s an Adult.)
Haha indeed. There’s a resident wanker/troll/stalker who always dislikes my posts wherever I go on this site. In the other comments section you get dislikes for merely saying “good morning”! I find it hilarious that such a spineless little turd thinks anybody gives a shit about his pathetic behaviour. “Trolls gonna troll” Part of the fixtures and fittings so just ignore. 🙂
Sajid Javid, the monster who proposed this, should NEVER be forgiven. He is utter scum for threatening decent, hard working people with the loss of their livelihoods in this way. He would have known the data on infection and transmission at the time. It
was never the right policy. It was pointless coercion and an abomination. WHERE is the apology, let alone the resignation?
There’ll never be a resignation, because he’ll never seen any reason for even an apology.
I know lots of engineers who’ve shed their family’s South Asian ‘tribalist’ backgrounds, but I also know a few who haven’t. I don’t know Javid from Adam’s Navel, but I’ll wager that he’s in that ballpark.
Just because you are born in a stable does not make you a horse!
90% of those who completed the online survey opposed the vaccine mandates. Well done to all those who took the trouble to respond to the consultation. It just goes to show what can be achieved if enough of us are motivated to act.

Mandatory medical procedures of ANY kind were already illegal. Public Health Act 1984, primary legislation.
So why are all these nurses worried about losing their jobs? And of all the care workers who were ‘sacked’ – that just didn’t happen?
So……the BRITISH GOVERNMENT will not mandate jabs…….
…….BUT, ‘with a heavy heart’……
……they will have to observe a WHO global treaty commitment which DOES.
I don’t think they realise the extent to which the WHO has become a joke, or the enormous increase in the numbers of those who seriously question vaccines.
That’s the problem with over-reach: you increase and strengthen the opposition.
Yes. I have posted the same.
Hmm maybe as a separate group but aren’t we signing up to forced vaccination when the WHO declares a pandemic. Cue next fake pandemic!
Spain has altered their entry requirements to include anyone who has recovered from covid in the last 6 months.
https://www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/spain/entry-requirements#if-youve-had-covid-19-in-the-past-year
now how do I prove I’ve had and recovered from covid?
You needed to have had an NHS PCR positive.
despite my other half insisting on frequent lat flo and pcr’s when someone at school has a cough we’ve not found cv yet.
went to Jamaica for Xmas. Pre flight tests, no social distancing at the uk airport checkin, where all ba flights share the same queue, or flight (it was packed both ways) plus the usual nonsense in Montego Bay where ~ 5 flights from Europe & US arrive at the same time and every one is funnelled into the passport hall again with no social distancing. Then lat flo before departing for the uk, again no distancing in Montego Bay or flight or Heathrow with even more concurrent flights from vm all over the globe then pcr test again and 12 hours after the all clear abs before the 2 day deadline we get notified that we need to isolate for 7 days but the actual rule in hmgov site said we didn’t (f confusing).
I don’t go out much but we’ve not had obvious covid and non of the tests we’ve done have shown covid.
I did an antibody test that showed 1350 au/ml. The au means arbitrary unit!! They don’t tell you what… Read more »
How much they relax depends on how busy they are. Money talks…
I hear Jaywick Sands is nice in Summer.
You need a certificate from your health authority to show you were tested for Covid and had a ‘positive’ result.
But, never mind – the “wheels of the Covid bus are falling off” and the “house of cards is collapsing” – soon Spain will see that all these restrictions are unnecessary… eh?
Nope – it’s the Vaxx Pass, or you’ll have to pay for PCR tests.
Or you can “choose” not to comply and not leave to UK – it’s “your free choice”!
Jesus wept, our incompetent government is beyond belief – or ultimately not really working for us, which I deeply suspect. The general lock-step that nations showed over Covid-19 measures showed that.
You don’t have to be a genius to realise there is a widespread distrust in the “vaccine” and consequently anticipate that the NHS vaccine mandate would result in a large number of staff losses.
God give us strength.
Not incompetent at all – if you were to look at their bank statements you’d see they are, in fact, highly competent at ripping the public off.
They are making money out of this at this very moment, and having a laugh as the zombies stagger round in their face masks spraying the handles of their shopping trolleys with ‘sanitiser’.
Distrust in the vaccine or not, the jabbing programme continues with doses 4 and 5 arriving this year for adults.
I’d be rather annoyed now, if I got jabbed to keep my job
It was never proportionate and a variety of people need to lose their careers over this. Not their jobs, their careers.
A stupid decision in the first place.
Tricky. Should I bookmark this in “Covid & the UK” or in “Bedwetters in retreat”?
The latter, I think, in honour of Malteserman’s lame “right policy when the original decision was taken”.
