The U.K.’s main university application body is still imposing vaccine mandates on students applying for nursing and social care courses, despite the sector struggling to fill a staff shortage of tens of thousands, a GB News investigation has found.
Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) currently says on its website further education candidates must have the Covid jab as part of the entry requirements.
At least 10 universities are also imposing the mandate on their web pages where applicants can find more information about the courses.
One even tells students it is “illegal” to not divulge their status.
The Covid mandate for nurses and frontline care workers was dropped by the Government in March following a campaign by GB News.
The investigation by GB News and the Farage programme, which airs Monday to Thursday at 7pm, found would-be students applying via UCAS are greeted with this message: “You should be aware that from April 1st 2022, all NHS and Social Care personnel (including students) will be required to have completed an approved course of vaccinations against COVID-19 before they can be deployed in roles that involve face-to-face contact with patients/service users.
“If you are unable, or unwilling, to be vaccinated at this time, and cannot satisfy our placement providers that you are medically exempt, we will not be able to provide you with the practice placements necessary to complete your health and social care degree. If this is the case, you may wish to look at an alternative programme or career path.”
The Government faced criticism earlier this year when it told NHS staff they needed to be double vaccinated by April 1st or face being sacked.
But it was dropped in March following pressure from within the health service which included a legal challenge and GB News’ Outdate The Mandate campaign.
In November 2021, the social care sector lost 40,000 as a result of the mandate.
A recent study by researchers from the universities of Oxford, Harvard, Johns Hopkins and others, concluded that university COVID-19 vaccine mandates are unethical because the vaccines are up to nearly 100 times more likely to cause a person of student age serious injury than prevent him or her from being hospitalised with COVID-19.

So to be a nurse you must take an experimental drug that doesn’t even stop transmission of this virus but has known dangerous side effects. The only world in which that makes sense is one where medicine/academia is totally owned by big pharma.
Another example of ‘evidence-based practice’ having gone out of the window and that this has obviously nothing whatsoever to do with a virus. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a dramatic drop in people signing up to the courses now. The data on that would be interesting. Nursing is looking less and less appealing as a profession as time goes by.
There are no words left that adequately describe my hatred for the people that have orchestrated and supported these Nazi-like mandates. Hang em high.
As Hannah Arendt discovered, the true face of totalitarianism is the ordinary, mundane bureaucrat willing commit atrocities so that he can carry on with his orderly life.
It looks as if they are only interested in training staff if they agree to be indoctrinated into a crazy policy. Not proper education, and not in the interests of potential patients in the future.
That is pretty much the future of medicine.
The covid episode can be seen as a purge from the medical profession of anyone who isn’t completely on board with the pharma driven model of healthccare.
A foretaste of this some ten years ago was metaphorically illustrated by one of the requirements for qualifying as a teacher and is the present state of education.
There was a purge from the teaching profession of anyone who wasn’t completely on board with the human-driven model of climate change.
Although it wasn’t strictly a requirement for entry, anybody who began the course soon found that they were required to allow their brains to be “vaccinated” against climate scepticism before being released into schools, using an experimental new concoction called “post-normal science”. Anybody who declined the concoction was stigmatized and doomed to fail the mandatory course.
All teachers were also required in turn to “vaccinate” the children they taught, using psyops in the form of peer pressure and Tavistock gas-lighting tactics. No Pressure was a short-lived 2010 film produced by the predecessors of XR, written by Richard Curtis and Franny Armstrong, and directed by Dougal Wilson, which graphically and unintentionally parodied how it was done.
Nowadays the Green Blob has become the Pharma Blob. Fear of climate change has been replaced by fear of a routine virus and the metaphorical vaccination has become literal.
Unless the Climate Change and Coronavirus Acts are repealed, the Supreme Court is unlikely to ban these crazy policies.
University of Sydney’s latest mask requirements.
“Please note that for Medicine & Health classes, it is mandatory that all staff and students wear a mask”.
Australia’s oldest and most prestigious university, following “The Science”.
To quote some graffiti I saw years ago, “there is no justice, there’s just us”.
Those people pushing this jab need to be arrested! There is no excuse for the continual insistence on taking the jab after all the revelations about the harms it has caused.

And there is talk of Amnesty?
What planet are they on?
Magna Carta Clause 39
Nullus liber homo capiatur, vel imprisonetur, aut dissaisiatur, aut utlagetur, aut exuletur, aut aliquo modo destruatur, nec super eum ibimus, nec super eum mittemus, nisi per legale judicium parium suorum vel per legem terrae.
No free man is to be arrested, or imprisoned, or disseised, or outlawed, or exiled, or in any other way ruined, nor will we go against him or send against him, except by the lawful judgment of his peers or by the law of the land.
Chris Whitty – I refuse to call that entity sir – is ultimately responsible as he wrote a letter, co-signed by his alleged professional partners in ————- (you fill in the blanks) exhorting that NHS professionals should be jabbed, calling it a ‘professional duty’. This included not only ‘staff on the ground’ but colleges and universities involved in medical / health care teaching. Those institutions one would and should be able to expect to promote good, researched, evidence based practice.
The letter – continued tyranny by stealth – was sent barely a week after the government back-pedalled about mandating the faux-vaccines for all NHS and health-care staff in February / March 2022.

Remember, too, Sajid Javid, as Health Secretary, stating that the government ‘makes no apology for it’ for the proposal for mandatory covid jabs for NHS staff.

Never forgive. Never forget.
Another masterstroke to create a workforce in the National Sickness Service who are psychologically conditioned to ensure that all patients must undergo whatever medical treatment central-control requires without any sympathy or due regard to the buried history of medical ethics.
And what is the legal basis for this ‘mandate’?
I wonder how long this will be the policy as the US have had to offer health care workers their roles back and back pay.
Someone just needs to take the uni’s to court.
