Victory! UK Govt Caves In – No More Jabs for NHS Staff!
There has been an outcry after Sajid Javid axes ‘no jab, no job’ for NHS, and ministers are blasted for Covid vaccine mandate U-turn as care bosses ask what happens to the 40,000 of THEIR workers who were fired
Ministers were last night accused of undermining public confidence in Covid vaccines after scrapping the requirement for health and social care workers to be jabbed.
Sajid Javid performed an ’11th-hour’ U-turn amid warnings the mandate would lead to crippling staff shortages, with up to 80,000 NHS employees facing the sack.
The Health Secretary told MPs it was ‘no longer proportionate’ to require vaccination as a condition of employment under law because Omicron is ‘intrinsically less severe’ than Delta, which was the dominant strain at the time the measures were announced.
High vaccine uptake across the country also means there is ‘greater population protection’, he added.
However, health leaders warned that the move risks sending a message that vaccines are no longer important – potentially hitting uptake among the wider population.
The chief executives of the NHS Confederation and NHS Providers, Matthew Taylor and Chris Hopson, said NHS leaders were frustrated at the ’11th-hour’ policy change.
In a joint statement they said:
‘They recognise the reasons the Government has given for the changes, the risk to services and the different risk from Omicron compared to previous variants.
But there will be concern at what this means for wider messaging about the importance of vaccination for the population as a whole.’
It came as care home bosses told how they were ‘frustrated’ for staff who had already lost their jobs for refusing jabs.
An estimated 40,000 people were fired when the legal requirement for care home staff to be fully vaccinated came into effect in November.
The sector already had 100,000 vacancies and there are fears many workers will never return.
Nadra Ahmed, of the National Care Association, told BBC Breakfast she was ‘frustrated’ and ‘saddened’ for all the people who may have lost their jobs needlessly, adding that ‘the impact has been devastating’.
She said: ‘Social care is on its knees… and we just do not have people walking through the doors.’
But responding to reports of the U-turn, which at the time had not been confirmed, she said: ‘I think we’re really happy for our NHS colleagues if this is what’s going to happen because it’s an unnecessary burden, and persuasion will bring us to the same outcome.’
Meanwhile, Paul Hunter, professor of medicine at the University of East Anglia, said:
‘The Government is in an impossible and extremely regrettable position. Its back-pedalling risks sending mixed messages to the public and giving power to the anti-vax movement.
However, losing so many staff would be too big a price to pay for pushing ahead with the policy, especially given the existing shortages.’
Conservative former health secretary Jeremy Hunt said he had concerns about impact the U-turn would have for future vaccine programmes for health staff.
He said:
‘My concern is that having marched the NHS to the top of the hill, having actually won a very important patient safety argument, we are now doing a U-turn. What will happen the next time the Secretary of State wanted to introduce an important vaccine, for example for flu, and make it mandatory?’
And Liberal Democrat health spokesman Daisy Cooper MP added:
‘Sadly, this U-turn comes too little too late with valued carers already being kicked out of the sector and many care homes unable to staff family visits over the Christmas period.’
The jab requirement for NHS workers was due to come into force in April, making this Thursday the last day staff could get their first dose to be fully vaccinated in time.Mr Javid said this will now be paused while the Government holds a two-week consultation on repealing the law, which was passed last year.
The Royal College of Nursing, the Royal College of Midwives and the Royal College of GPs had all pushed for the requirement to be delayed, with warnings of a ‘catastrophic’ impact if ministers ploughed ahead.
The 40,000 fired care staff will be able to return to work in the sector if vaccines are no longer mandatory, although they are unlikely to secure the pension and redundancy benefits that come with continuity of employment.
But bosses fear many of these workers could be lost for good, with one charity accusing the Government of using the sector as ‘the trial run for the NHS’. Patricia Marquis of the Royal College of Nursing said:
‘This climbdown by Government has come too late for those social care staff who have already lost their jobs. To risk thousands more nursing staff being sacked in the middle of a staffing crisis was never in the interests of patients’ safety.
Vaccination is hugely important but this was the wrong policy, especially as it added to the current pressure on NHS and care services.’
Mr Javid defended the initial policy, saying he ‘makes no apology for it’ and revealed that since September there had been a ‘net increase of 127,000’ people working across the NHS who have ‘done the right thing and got jabbed’, and a net increase of 32,000 people vaccinated in social care.
But he acknowledged that there will always be some who will walk away from their jobs over getting the jab, adding:
‘We have to consider the impact on the workforce in NHS and social care settings, especially at a time when we already have a shortage of workers and near full employment across the economy.’
Meanwhile, Boris Johnson said yesterday that he believed it was ‘absolutely clear’ that NHS and social care workers should still get vaccinated.

This is NOT over, don’t be fooled. These globalists will move on to the next phase of their great reset plan. They are not going to stop now, they have too much to lose. They demand world domination and they will get it at all cost. All the ‘vaccinated’ will soon die off, leaving behind a less populated world, easier to manage in their minds. The majority have not won, not yet. Don’t get comfortable, and do NOT let your guard down. These satanic people are in it til the end.

Not over until the streets run like rivers with tyrants blood. In the JU S A that pretty much includes every so called “official” from the local school boards and city councils, all State and Federal Governors, Senators and Congress, every single Executive level official from every single alphabet agency, any military member above the rank of Lt. Colonel (O5), every last Judge, all media, most all hospital administrative staff, all those that push masks and jabs, all think tanks, all central bankers, anyone worth over say 25 million dollars, anyone from the CDC, WHO, UN, NIH, World Bank, Bank of International Settlements, Federal Reserve, any employee of Johnson and Johnson, Pfizer or Moderna, any corporate cunt who mandated masks or jabs for employees, any Doctors or nurses who have not spoken out, anyone in politics, government, education, media or law enforcement that knows and has chosen not to speak out to stop the insanity of the plandemic, any member of the CFR, Tri-Lateral Commission, Builderberg group, World Economic Forum, any Rothschild, Rockefeller, Morgan, Schiff, Warburg, Carneigie, Mellon, Dupont, Smithsonian, Astor or any other crime family sub-human sell out, all deluded celebrities that prop up the covid lies, Bill Gates, Faucci, Kissenger, Klaus Schwab, and many more. Round them up and execute or imprison for life. Just for starters. Each country in the world must do the same and create all new forms of organization to make people first. No existing system will ever do it. The people must rise up and destroy with maximum prejudice all and I do mean all who have partaken in this world wide genocidal plan if there is to be any smidgen of a chance for humanity. Otherwise it’s a long painful road to certain death and enslavement for those that make it through the next few years.
Tis better to die killing tyrants than do nothing and die on your knees and bellies. Because that is what is coming now.

They didn’t see it coming, did they? Bastille Day. 1789 and ->. Paris dripped red with blood under the guillotine. Here it comes…
Well, you can skid you can slide
You can run you can hide, but it’s coming
You can beg you can plead
Against your bed on your knees, cry to Mummy
You’re goin’ to the judge, oh baby
You’re goin’ to the judge
You gotta smile at the judge, oh baby
And pray that he will budge
Well, you injected you imprisoned
You rejected Ivermectin, now you’re done
You disrespected what we elected
Now the crime will be corrected, like with the Hun

The next step by the evil globalists will be war and conscription for the masses while the globalists stay safe.

Mandated, compulsory jabs are utterly abhorrent, and I have written many letters in the Daily Mail to that effect.

Dr Vladimir Zelenko said anyone that willfully vilified and obstructed access to hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin in the prevention and treatment of Covid-19 is guilty of first degree capital murder, genocide, and crimes against humanity. They are trying to jab as many people as possible so that their great reset aka depopulation plan work. I believe in God & Jesus. If I get sick I will take my Ivermectin that I stashed just in case and leave rest to God. If you want to get Ivermectin you can visit https://ivmcures.com

“But there will be concern at what this means for wider messaging about the importance of vaccination for the population as a whole.”
The quackxines are working perfectly, just not as advertised – they don’t “vaccinate”, but destroy the broad-based immunity to many things that your many millions of years old immune system has been tuned to do. To those that drunk from the poison chalice, good luck.
