I have several friends/colleagues leaving their jobs b/c of vax mandates. Not one would I consider to be an antivax, rather they’re waiting for full FDA approval or have antibodies from infxn.
Is this really the respect frontline workers deserve after working through a pandemic?

It’s absolutely disgraceful.
‘Just Questioning’ as usual Bodger !!
The Gemma is still strong in you !
We are where we are with vaccines – imperfect, working for most people, halting some serious illness, enabling us to get back to some sort of daily living.
There sure are questions around the ethics of insisting healthcare workers are fully vaccinated but the real question maybe around what rights are more important? Surely healthcare workers are there to work in public health for the good of the public and have to leave their personal beliefs outside the door? Or should their personal rights trump all rights? Maybe they should leave? Or should they be allowed to choose themselves around vaccines, possibly get sick, not be able to work, infect others etc?
2020 – “Our frontline workers are amazing for working without any vaccines.”
2021 – “No vaccine? Go fupp yourselves! You right wing nutters!”
Was all always about protecting yourself. Was never about protecting others to save lives there.
It’s the same reason we’re injecting perfectly healthy children now, when we should be sending them to poorer countries.
Given the data coming out of Israel, it is quite obvious that not only are these vaccines nowhere near the efficacy claimed, but that they do not prevent transmission.
There is no communitarian argument anymore, it is a personal choice about your own health and even that may be a game of Russian roulette.
Haha just as I predicted, you’re be back at it, posting the same lies a few days later. You’re incorrect on this just like you were last week. A vaccinated person is by order of several times less likely to pass the virus to another person than an unvaccinated person. Deal with facts please.
See my previous comment copy/pasted below again:
“I know you’ll read all this, not reply, and the post the same waste of space comment tomorrow, it’s like brainwashing.
“fully vaccinated people aged 18 to 64 have about a 49% lower risk of being infected compared with unvaccinated people”
“fully vaccinated people were about half as likely to test positive after coming into contact with someone who had Covid (3.84%, down from 7.23%)”
“fully vaccinated people are likely infectious for less time than unvaccinated people.”

If you want to know how infective vaccinated people are according to the CDC watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XsRdICFRHcc&list=UUF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxg&index=15 esp. from 3:20

Micko. That is not the point Professor Mark is making at all – in fact no where in his comment is this implied.
You have inferred this based on either your own agenda or biases.
I agree, we should be sending those perfectly healthy children to poorer countries. Besides how could anyone inject a perfectly healthy child!? With a health care professional present and using a miracle vaccine that took untold efforts to produce? That will help to train their immune system to protect them from a virus that is spreading right now in our population! What monster?!… now somebody please hand me a poncho and a bongo, I’ve just quit my job as a nurse because of the sudden realisation that we practice modern medicine, a circle is forming and I feel a heeling coming on.
I have no intention of sending my children to poorer countries.
You can still infect others, vaccinated or not.
This sounds a lot like Trump’s “a lot of people are saying” rhetoric which makes sense coming from a person who rallies against ‘socialised’ medicine in the states saying that there is nothing wrong with their healthcare system and that people can just ‘take care of themselves’ and they won’t ever need to go to a hospital. Flush.
Who are the frontline workers she refers to? Those quitting or just “frontline workers” in the general sense?
It’s called social responsibility on the planet that I & Spock once inhabited. My 15 year old son was thrilled to get his jab today as it will cause our lay about utterly useless teachers unions not to have any excuse to actually do the job they are employed to do this Sept or those toe rags that pass for Uni lecturers here
Is this a REAL doctor?
Certainly doesn’t sound like one.
I think it’s just a man in a wig.
Oh shut up. If you’ve ever had a good old Irish breakfast then the vax will do you no harm. Move on. Remember your pro-choice/freedom stance next time we discuss women’s bodies.
