The Health Secretary has doubled down on the ‘no jab no job’ policy for care home workers, following reports that more than half of care homes could be forced to sack staff because of the rule, saying that those who refuse to get vaccinated against Covid should “get out and get another job”. Dismissing the views of those who have chosen not to get vaccinated, he said ‘refuseniks’ simply “cannot be bothered” to join in with the roll-out. The Telegraph has the story.
The Health Secretary said he is not prepared to “pause” the requirement for care home staff to be fully-vaccinated by November 11th, amid concerns significant numbers of staff are reluctant to receive the vaccine.
The Government announced their decision to make vaccination compulsory for care home workers in August, a controversial move that sector and union leaders warned could lead to a “mass exodus” of staff.
Mr. Javid told the BBC Radio 4 Today programme: “If you work in a care home you are working with some of the most vulnerable people in our country and if you cannot be bothered to go and get vaccinated, then get out and go and get another job.”
He added: “If you want to look after them [care home residents], if you want to cook for them, if you want to feed them, if you want to put them to bed, then you should get vaccinated. If you are not going to get vaccinated then why are you working in care?”
Christina McAnea, Unison’s General Secretary, said: “Vaccination remains the way out of the pandemic. But coercing and bullying people can never be the right approach.”
Boris Johnson has defended the move, saying it was “only reasonable” to expect workers in a position of care to be vaccinated.
The Prime Minister said: “I think that it’s only reasonable to expect people who are entrusted with the care of elderly and vulnerable people to be inoculated against a disease which is particularly harmful to elderly and vulnerable people.”

I know we all like to suspect the vaccines – and I don’t doubt that they are in some way responsible – but I think there may be another cause. I’ve just finished reading Malcolm Kendrick’s book on atherosclerosis, “The Clot Thickens”. One of the key drivers of heart disease is stress, and I think we can all agree the last few years have been somewhat stressful.
The example he gives is after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the collapse of the USSR, the rate of death from heart disease shot up in middle aged men something like 7-fold in Latvia (unlike in nearby Sweden) as the chaos and collapse of the economy took hold. Then the same effect was seen in Russia in 1991 when they had their subsequent period of chaos, and again in 1998 when the Russian banking crisis happened. I can see that many people who will have seen the collapse of their livelihoods during the pandemic will have been subject to a similar level of stress.
Thanks, lockdown lunatics! Lockdowns truly are the gift that keeps on giving.
Thanks Sophie, it’s an interesting point. I know this is purely anecdotal, but as a formerly fairly healthy 50-something, my metabolic and mental health has been severely stretched to almost breaking point these past 2.5 years.
I’m nothing unusual or special, and my circumstances are “normal”, but if I’m barely holding it together some days, I speculate there are others in slightly less-than-ideal situations that are simply overwhelmed with stress, anxiety and worry … which has causal links to poor physical health.
Sigh.
Can’t wait for September for the madness to be cranked up to 11.
Stress isn’t likely to be a cause of death for healthy cardiovascular systems.
Clotting, heart attacks are caused by physical changes in muscles in blood vessel walls and cardiac muscles, which requires an internal causal agent, and develop over time. Old age bring one cause, for example, as our muscles lose tone.
Stress is somewhat of an abstraction… how is it qualified, how quantified?
For many years stress was blamed for causing gastric ulcers with no clinical evidence just anecdotal evidence, but during the 90s it was demonstrated most gastric ulcers were caused by the Helicobacter pylori bacterium.
That bacterium is easily treated with generic antibiotics – no money in it for Big Pharma. However lots of lovely loot in anti-stress pills and H Blockers to moderate stomach acid production, so Big Pharma and their doctor cronies went to great lengths to discredit H Pylori as the cause of ulcers.
Isolating a single cause from a sea of confounding factors is likely to be misleading. Of course doing precisely that is the foundation of ‘modern’
medicine because it helps sales of drugs aimed at that alleged single cause. And it drives the climate change doom.
The mRNA reagents are shown to cause changes at cellular level, in fact designed to do just that. Specifically they have been shown to cause changes to muscle tissue, neurological tissue, male and female fertility, menstruation.
It doesn’t prove they are causing unexplained deaths, but a proper investigation into a possible link would be a good place to start.
Given Government resistance and complicity of the media in floating lots of alternative explanations… hot weather, climate change, phase of the Moon but definitely not the ‘vaccines’, my money is on the mRNA snake oil being implicated.
All I can do is suggest you read the book. It doesn’t say stress on its own is a reason, but dysregulation of the HPA axis puts the cardiovascular system under additional stress which raises one’s risk level considerably.
This paper covers similar themes (but is less of an easy read):

It’s a very informative book – as are all his books. I’m a fan.
I have a confession to make. I was completely and utterly wrong all this time and it’s time to admit it.
I honestly didn’t think it was possible for the authorities to be less interested in anything than they were about the fate of the children that where abducted, drugged, raped, and exploited by the Pakistani ‘grooming’ gangs, but I will admit that I was wrong.
I cannot see any reason for this lack of interest in a key metric other than the fact that we are dealing with exactly the same type of evil people as those who covered up what happened in Telford, Rochdale, Oldham to protect themselves and their fellow travellers.
It’s better than nothing that McVey is taking an interest but she’s asking the wrong people. It’s her colleague the “Health” minister she needs to be questioning.
Let’s face it, it would be a bit of a pointless exercise anyway. Would you believe anything the Government said about excess deaths?
I know I wouldn’t. That’s what happens when you’re systematically lied to by “experts” and politicians for a prolonged period. You don’t believe a word they say.
Huxley’s rule applies – invert any statement from officialdom to arrive at the truth.
Good articles on here re the agenda…. Depopulation is the goal.

“Cancer deaths are, perhaps surprisingly given the withdrawal of healthcare access during the pandemic, broadly at normal levels, suggesting there is something other than lack of access to healthcare going on.”
All cancer sufferers die from their cancer, from metastases if not the primary, just a question of when. Cancer treatment/drugs are declared ‘successful’ if they extends life beyond the expected period of fatality without treatment/drugs.
Therefore since deaths are spread out, the death rate from cancers due to lack of treatment may not vary noticeably, whereas deaths from cardiovascular diseases tend to be more immediate.
However, for cancers, the important effect of withdrawal of medical services will be on early diagnosis. The sooner the diagnosis, usually the smaller/less metastasised the cancer, and the sooner treatment is started the better the prognosis and the longer life will be extended.
Increases in cancer fatalities most likely with appear over the next few years.
I’m quite interested to see age stratified analysis of excess deaths as well as hospitalisation.
My gut tells me the relative increases will be found further down the age brackets. This would validate the insurance industry data reported from the US that have shown massive payouts. Larger payouts occur for younger insurees.
I have reproduced one of the footnotes to the table of deaths registered in the ONS publication referenced in the article:
This breakdown would appear to support your thesis, in that the lowest increase was in care homes (4.1%) c.f. a 25% increase in private homes.
Maybe the jabs deliberately engineered dysregulation of the immune system – which no expert comes even close to understanding – has something to do with it :-

According to the paper it’s more the long term effects which are the worry.
Could this be the cause?
