Of course I have asked them to get vaccinated. And also to consider how they would feel if they brought the virus into the Home. How that is talking down to them is simply in your imagination So you do admit influencing staff into making a health choice and did you take into account with these pearls of wisdom that the government have already stated that having the vaccine doesn’t mean you can’t pass it on. So I’m really not sure what entitles you to give people health advice.

My wife and I both being over 65 are 5th down the priority list and the general expectancy was that we would receive the vaccine sometime in March. Given what we are hearing about the supply chain and the farcical situation regarding the hiring of volunteers to assist in administering the jabs I suspect it could be the middle of the year before we receive the call-up.

Oh boy, for the hard of thinking I got a virologist from PHE to do a Zoom call to myth bust I now give up on you as it is clear you have some kind of agenda. Probably bitten by a scientist when young. Edited by Mapletree (01 Jan 2021 11.26pm)

So you forced low paid care assistants to get the vaccine? I can't blame you as the way you see it you are protecting people. However, you cannot be entirely sure there are no side effects. Different kind of vaccine, more researched, not showing any adverse signs so far. Your Irish case was about someone having a vaccine known to have issues without being offered the safer alternative that was available at the time. That was the main point at stake.

So I’m really not sure what entitles you to give people health advice. That's an unknown, if anything the thought is leaning towards it being likely that it does limit likelihood of passing it in. This is something that should effectively be known one way or the other in a month or so. Those working with the elderly and vulnerable should strongly consider getting vaccinated. Much in the same way, nurses and doctors spreading covid between themselves and to patients is a real problem, so they should be vaccinated ASAP too. We can't have it both ways. If we're criticising people being encouraged to take the vaccine, questions can also be asked of those treating it like not bothering is an option that can't impact the individual or others negatively. For instance, people should be actively encouraging their elderly loved ones to get vaccinated. If their input is instead 'do what you want', 'who cares', 'i have my doubts' then the result of that contribution may come back to haunt them and more importantly those on the receiving end of their bad advice.

I have no agenda whatsoever, but when you post that you are actively coercing staff to take the vaccine because you believe it will help your business then I’m afraid you have lost all credibility as it is not within your remit as an employer to do this.

You were too stupid to ask how I was ‘influencing’. I anticipate all Care Homes making it a term of employment for Care Assistants to have the vaccine, probably with some exceptions. Not my remit? And no, again to see if it gets through this time. I don’t own the business and I am highly employable. I am not trying to defend a business per se. I am trying to save lives Do you actually care about old people?

You’re right it is an unknown and is being actively spoken of as an unknown by all medical advisors. Trying to tell people otherwise is untruthful and to say that people might die if you do not have the vaccine yourself is at best melodramatic and at worse coercive nonsense. The people who should be having the vaccine are the old and vulnerable. Coercing staff who may not want the vaccine for any number of reasons is just plain wrong. I’ll repeat the stats for healthy people under 60. Deaths of less than 400 out of a total of 70,000+ This is not about whether you should have the vaccine, it’s about the rights of individuals to have a choice. I will not change my opinion on this until: 1) the vaccine is proved 100% safe and impact free on matters such as fertility. Edited by Eaglecoops (02 Jan 2021 10.50am)

You are a man who was telling us recently that taking vitamin D was the answer to all our problems, so I would question your opinions based on that alone. Why do you plant lies in otherwise reasonable posts? Do you think this is ‘The Unbelievable Truth’? I have recommended vitamin D as a precaution, on the basis that is what CCUs including ITUs do as soon as people arrive with COVID-19.

Perfect, so you thought you should jump the gun and get in early by utilising your vast medical knowledge of the virus and it’s possible side effects. I really hope there are zero side effects for younger people who don’t necessarily need to take it.

So I brought in a specialist and also made sure I showed a lead by having the vaccine first. And saying young people don't need to take the vaccine just demonstrates your total inability to grasp the situation.
