The U.K.’s human rights watchdog admits that forcing care home staff to get vaccinated against Covid would be a “significant departure from current public health policy”, but has endorsed the move anyway. Support of the idea from the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) could tip the balance away from the likes of Health Minister Nadine Dorries who oppose the “no jab, no job” policy, towards the view – held by both the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary – that legislation on this matter is necessary “to reach a position of much greater safety for care recipients”. The Guardian has more.
Ministers are considering changing the law to make vaccination a condition of deployment for people in some professions that come into regular close contact with elderly and vulnerable people at high risk from the coronavirus.
In a report to the Government seen by the Guardian, the EHRC admitted that making vaccines compulsory for care home staff would be a “significant departure from current public health policy”.
But they judged that ministers were “right to prioritise protection of the right to life for residents and staff” and said it would be reasonable for care home workers to need a jab “in order to work directly with older and disabled people, subject to some important safeguards”.
The Guardian adds that the EHRC is likely to make a similar recommendation about healthcare workers. Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi has suggested that NHS staff could also face mandatory vaccination, though the idea has received firm opposition from both the Royal College of Nursing, which has a membership of 450,000 registered nurses, and the Royal College of General Practitioners, representing over 50,000 British GPs.
[Whitehall is right to be nervous on this point: research suggests that health and social care workers who feel greater pressure from their employers to receive Covid vaccination are more likely to decline it.]Zahawi said no decisions had been made yet, and stressed there was a precedent: surgeons were required to be vaccinated against hepatitis B. He added: “It would be incumbent on any responsible Government to have the debate, to do the thinking about how we go about protecting the most vulnerable by making sure that those who look after them are vaccinated.”
A Government source said: “We think it would save lives.”
There is nervousness in Whitehall about making moves to force anyone to have a coronavirus injection, given the fear that this could make people who are already vaccine hesitant even more resistant.
However, now that care workers had been eligible for vaccines for months due to their high position on the priority list, the EHRC said some demographic groups that were less likely to get vaccinated were “disproportionately represented in the adult social care sector workforce”.
The EHRC said mandatory vaccination could risk further excluding these groups “from access to employment”, so a proportionate approach with important safeguards was needed.

Habeas corpus abolished – EHRC says “yeah it’s a crucial freedom but these are extraordinary times and it’s been clearly shown that appearing in person greatly increases someone’s chances of infecting others, so, you know, liberties schmiberties.”
Most people have simply forgotten, if they ever knew, that the point of inalienable rights is that they cannot be taken away under any circumstances, and that they really exist to protect people precisely at times of alleged “emergency”.
Exactly so – inalienable. Except that we are now run by aliens. They should f*** off. It serves them right if we simply end up with a shortage of care home staff.
NHS test stations being run by G4S sub-contracting to shell companies registered in the Phillipines – obviously nothing to do with avoiding taxes or paying National Insurance!
Then many care workers will walk out, I expect.
They’re caring for the elderly, but they’ve mostly been vaccinated already, and why would those carers under 50 take the risk of a vaccine that’s more harmful than the virus?
you know you are screwed when….wonder which category of citizens EHRC will throw under the bus next
Isn’t bodily sovereignty the most basic right of all?
Yes, that’s why the Fascists are so anxious to take it away.
If only they had a trade union to protect their interests
This is a clear breach of the Nuremburg code. I expect this to be taken to court.
I dont know if the court cases will win because as we know the courts are as bent as hell. They will have to think long and hard about their decision though, because if they judge against the workers being coerced, they will expose their corruption for all to see.
But it isn’t a ‘vaccine’ in the first place is it. It’s an experimental gene therapy, therefore it cannot be forced upon the individual (not that any ‘normal’ vaccine could either). The individual has to give informed consent for it to be administered, otherwise we entering the realm of ‘crimes against humanity’ territory.
Has Nuremburg and the atrocities of the Nazi party been forgotten? Whoever insists on a forced ‘vaccination’, must be held personally responsible for any harm caused.
I am of the opinion that the Nuremburg code should really be extended so that it covers all medical treatment. Informed consent should apply in law whether the treatment is experimental or non-experimental. After all, it is somewhat of an arbitrary decision to deem a treatment ‘non-experimental’.
Nuremberg is simply being ignored.
Cue an even bigger staffing issue in the care sector than already exists…
So more oldies die.
Which is the objective.
I would like to see a running total of the number of deaths for the perfectly healty under 70 to date who (allegedly) died of Covid and publish that alongside the deaths of the perfectly healthy under 70’s who have been reported to die as a result of the Vaccine.
A Government source said: “We think it would save lives.”
I thought that these jabs do not prevent transmission according to both manufacturer and government. So where does this ‘we think’ come from?
The vaccine is meant to reduce symptoms, and as asymptomatic transmission is highly unlikely, it would therefore reduce transmission, logically. No-one has called the government out on the obvious contradiction in their stated position, because the opposition and media are useless/evil.
If the ‘vaccine’ reduces symptoms then it would be more likely to increase transmission, because people would go to work believing that they were just ‘off-colour rather than realising they were actually unwell.
They aren’t ‘unwell’, they are perfectly fit and healthy. This is the crux of the lie.
Except that asymptomatic transmission is not generally considered very likely, by people who know about these things and haven’t gone mad.
@jcd is alluding to mild symptoms rather than asymptomatic status, and I agree with his/her reference to complacency. Presumably mild symptoms can present some, albeit minor, risk of transmission of any airborne virus.
You and others (me included) know that, to all intents and purposes, actual asymptomatic transmission just doesn’t happen. But the contradiction in the government’s position is there for all to see if the brainwashed chose to think about it. Why are perfectly healthy people made to feel obliged to wear masks and refrain from all normal activities? Because, according to government experts, the virus can be transmitted asymptomatically even if you think you are healthy. How do the ‘vaccines’ prevent the spread of the virus? Because, according to government experts, they can reduce mild infection to asymptomatic ‘infection’ which is unlikely to be transmitted. So which is it, government experts??
Personally I don’t believe the vaccine has any beneficial impact at all, only negative, so my question is largely rhetorical to highlight the basic inconsistencies in the ‘vaccine’ narrative, which are obvious to anyone with more than a handful of brain cells (so excluding Matt Hancock of course!).
I’m somewhat of the same opinion and think it could just be ‘snake oil’. The country was hit during the normal flu season and the vaccines rolled out. Now that flu season is over and we’re having warmer weather there’s very few cases and deaths (and I use the term deaths loosely due to the with covid and of covid moniker).
All very coincidental and perfect timing to make it look as though they’re effective.
The “vaccine” is beneficial if the aim is depopulation.
“So where does this ‘we think’ come from?”
Thin air?
The ‘law’ of unintended consequences will apply. People will quit, panic will ensue, backtracking will occur. Not just in care homes but right across the NHS as well.
These people do not have three brain cells between them.
If I ever recover from long covid sufficiently to return to my NHS post & am told that a covid ‘vaccine’ is compulsory, I’ll be handing in my notice! Why the hell would I want one?? I’ve already had a natural immunisation.

The RCN – eventually- came out against mandatory vaccination of health and social care staff.

I think it’s time we started coming to our front doors and clapping for healthcare workers that don’t want to take the jab. It made me sick when people were doing it last time, but I’d gladly do it now.
This action gives any healthcare worker strong grounds for constructive dismissal and loss of earnings for life because there’s really only one employer.
The “vaccines” don’t prevent transmission, so there’s absolutely no grounds for claiming there is any impact on others whether they take them or not.
A government source said, “We think it would save lives.” But they don’t know, and they don’t care.
I don’t think it would and if called could supply reams of evidence in support.
So it’s stand off and the government source can F. O.
“UK Rights Watchdog doesn’t believe in Rights”
Oh . . . they do. Just so long as it’s their version of ‘human rights’.
Anyone know how I can get in touch with the “UK human rights watchdog”?
It’s obvious that bullying people has one of two effects. Either they do as you say, or else they dig their heels in and refuse. You’d suppose that the psych. terror and behaviour “nudgers” might realise this.
Otherwise, this is a slippery slope, and I for one will not be happy to live in a medicalised State, especially one with such an appallingly bad “health service”, as the NHS is.
Woman who went to NHS hospital for fertility treatment was incorrectly identified as another patient and was given invasive gynaecologial procedure instead – in the NHS which is the envy of the world, the “saving” of which has been the justification for every restriction and measure brought in in response to the virus. You couldn’t make it up!
How, how, how can they make vaccines that have only emergency use authorisation, are still under clinical trials, are new technology, so many unknowns in terms of long term effects, effect on transmission, efficacy, etc, etc, mandatory. HOW! Perhaps way down the road and when traditional vaccines, like Valneva and much more data are available, it might be considered reasonable but not now. This has to be criminal. Why shouldn’t young care staff be nervous. Some will leave for certain and there are already staffing problems.
And where does it stop once started – teachers, social workers, police, ambulance, all public sector staff, plus more and more until vaccination is mandatory for the whole population? No, No, No!!!
NHS has been trying to push all staff to have annual flu vaccines for years and I think flu vaccine is mandatory for USA health care workers, but reviews of flu vaccines do not support their effectiveness, see Cochran and Tom Jefferson.
“Zahawi said no decisions had been made yet, and stressed there was a precedent: surgeons were required to be vaccinated against hepatitis B.”
That will be the Hep B vaccine that went through all trials before receiving authorisation, as opposed to the covid jab that is currently being trialled on the human populace and only had emergency authorisation because the effective treatments for covid are being blocked.
I hope that all care staff forced to have the toxic jab only do so after their employer signs a liability declaration for any and all side effects in the next 25 years. No declaration no jab, the employee is not refusing to take the jab, just rightly refusing to take the risk.
The country is now well over the line of fascism.
A win for the Goebbels and Mengele Memorial Brigade.
‘If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, the lie can be maintained only for such a time as the state can shield the people from the political, economic and military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the state to use all its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the state’ From the Ladybird book of fascist bastardry by Joseph Goebbels, crazy name, crazy guy!
Are any of us really surprised? Name me one official body that isn’t going along with the pantomime. We, the people, have been royally let down by every single governing body in the country, so colour me not surprised that this set of tossers have thrown their lot in with the tyrants.
There is one glaring error in the use of Hepatitis B as the precedent. It is for the protection of the clinician not the patient. I had my first Hep B as a St John first aides and first aides at work. The concept of the SARS-CoV-2 being for the benefit of the clients/patients is frankly hogwash, it’s to reduce the possibility of carers going off seriously ill. They have never tried to mandate influenza vaccination. What about chicken pox/shingles vaccinations? Why mandate one particular vaccine above all others?

COVID-19 Must Be the Deadliest Disease Known to Man
The CDC says that cruise ships must have at least 95 percent of passengers and 98 percent of crew members vaccinated against COVID-19. However, no cruise ship has to ensure that passengers are vaccinated against:
Chickenpox
Cholera
Diphtheria
Flu
Hepatitis A
Hepatitis B
HPV
Measles
Meningococcal
Mumps
Pneumococcal
Polio
Rotavirus
Rubella
Shingles
Smallpox
Tetanus
Tuberculosis
Typhoid Fever
Yellow Fever
Why don’t they require that pestle are tested for all these diseases? And more:
Middle East Respiratory Syndrome
SARS
Ebola
HIV
Syphilis
…
The list goes on…
It’s like nobody ever catches norovirus on a cruise.
Except that diarrhoea and vomiting are what cruises are known for.
Hasn’t it been said that an alleged symptom of C-19 is diarrhoea and vomiting (and conveniently, norovirus, like the flu, has somehow disappeared?)
Couple of points
No doubt there was no mention of yellow card reporting by the ‘specialist’.
Hep B vaccination for healthcare workers isn’t the same as covid at all. Presumably they don’t mind having it since 1. They already knew it was compulsory. 2. It has a long safety record and isn’t experimental. 3. NO FUCKER WANTS TO ACCIDENTALLY CATCH HEPATITIS WHILST GIVING STITCHES TO SOME SMACKHEAD AND END UP WITH LIVER FAILURE AS A RESULT. ie it’s to protect the surgeons, and presumably the trust from potentially having to pay them compensation. All this covid bollocks seems to be pushed as necessary to supposedly protect others – when it should always be about protecting yourself.
Exactly right. Most vaccines are to protect the recipient not the people the recipient comes into contact with.
There needs to be serious kickback on this. First its healthcare workers, eventually it will be mandatory across the board. Absolute fascism!!
And murder.
Genocide. Be in no doubt.
I was just told by a neighbour with a friend in our local A&E that they had an email from management being told to expect more strokes and blood clots. You must be off your rocker to have any of this shit put in you.
Friend of mine who’d already spent two weeks in hospital with blood clots, is back in again with another clot in her lung.
The spike protein that’s responsible for the most serious side effects is what they’ve made the vaccines out of, i.e. either the mRNA that codes for the spike protein, or it being delivered via a viral vector.
I don’t know whether the manufacturers knew how bad the spike protein was when they designed their vaccines and went ahead anyway, or whether they didn’t. Either way, they’re criminally responsible for all the vaccine deaths and harm inflicted.
It’s not simply the fact that it’s the spike protein that’s the potential problem. We know that the mRNA leaves the injection site and enters the vascular system. Drs Weiss and Bhakdi have hypothesised that this mRNA then tells cells in the lining of the blood vessels to produce the protein thus coming under attack from the immune system. This causes vascular damage in a way the virus itself cannot because it’s YOUR OWN cells coming under attack here. Not only this but the protein spikes are known to cause clotting when they contact platelets in the blood.
This was another useful YT entry recommended the other day: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sis1Sddzbqk – about 8 minutes on this subject.
That’ll help with the vaccine uptake in healthcare workers then.
Never surrender.
If this is implemented an awful lot of people will face murder charges.
But only if we win.
Existence of T cells or antibodies not enough? Must be challengeable in court.
I like dogs more than people, but if this is employed as a watchdog it needs putting down.
If there are any care home workers who have not had COVID or don’t have preexisting T cell immunity, I’d be amazed given where all the infections happened .
then is it not the case that instead of mandating covid jabs for them they should instead be offered T cell testing to see if they have immunity???
This is the email I’ve received today from the organisation I work for.
The organisation has taken the decision is that it is a condition of employment for anyone joining Rethink Mental Illness that they have either had the recommended Covid-19 vaccine or agree to have it when offered by the NHS. This is for all staff, whether or not they are deemed to be a front-line member of staff, due to the potential for unvaccinated people to cause an outbreak of infection.
In addition, for the protection and safety of our service users, we are only offering shifts to Bank and agency workers who can confirm they have had the vaccine. If you have been refused the vaccine from the NHS based on medical grounds please let us know and we can potentially discuss this further with yourself and your line manager, however if you have taken the decision to decline the vaccine then unfortunately we would not be able to offer you any further bank shifts.
How can this behaviour possibly be ethical? I personally have a self diagnosed potential medical history that means I don’t wish too take the vaccine because I may be prone to one of its side effects. If I were to be subjected to this abuse then how would I prove it? Fuck them.
I should add that my opinion is that any reason is a good enough reason to decline.
I think you should contact ‘Law or Fiction’. I’m sure it is this group that is putting together advice for people in your situation, as well as crowd funding for specific cases.
Our care homes are understaffed now. Many of the hard working staff come from communities that have serious doubts about the vaccines (I’m double jabbed so not anti-vaccine). No jab no job, just means more understaffing. I think a Covid test daily is fair. They do know they can’t bring the virus (or any) into their jobs. Forcing the jab on anyone violates the UN Charter on Human Rights, to say nothing of our natural rights. This must end!
There’s a shortage of hospitality staff right now too, so they won’t have issues finding other work.
But…but…but – it’s still experimental!
Who pays up if a vaccinee croaks after taking the mandated shot? Nadim Zahawi?
no one does – jab manufacturers given immunity from liability
How about offering those pesky refuseniks an alternative, which has a decades old track record of safety? Ivermectin, anyone? Anyone?? Oh, wait. It’s out of patent, so no money in that one! Better to bully the strong willed into submission, to tow the line, to stop rocking the steadily sinking ship! How we beat these totalitarian fu*kers is unclear, but resistance is a start. “Agitate, agitate, organize” springs to mind.
Please can someone point me to the law (statutory instrument?) concerning the 10 day quarantine period when one enters the U.K. from an Orange list country. I have read the quarantine information of gov.uk but it is unclear as to what is “guidance” and what is the actual law.
Add EHRC to the list of tossers who have been bought.
More Nazi eugenics and totalitarianism.
Those people that fought and gave their lives during World War II would be appalled and dismayed at how Britain has evolved into a dictatorship in less than two years.
