Covid vaccinations - the legacy?

[sinkov]

I love this story in the Grauniad,

"‘Perilous’ shortage of homecare workers leaves patients trapped in hospitals
Exclusive: almost one in four people unable to be discharged were waiting for home care, data reveals"

https://www.theguardian.com/society/...d-in-hospitals

Yes of course this is a serious problem for the NHS, they can't discharge older patients because the Care Sector can't take them. This is the inevitable outcome of the decision to sack 40,000 care workers who refused to be vaccinated. The Tory government, the Labour and LibDem opposition and the media, including and especially the BBC, insisted this was the right thing to do, as Care Home residents had to be protected and vaxxed care workers would be protected themselves and therefore would not/could not pass the virus on to the residents.

All well and good, except that, even at the time they were being sacked, it was acknowledged that the vaccine did not prevent infection or transmission. So god alone knows why they were sacked, for no good reason that is certain, and as a result the care sector and NHS is now in crisis.

To get back to the beginning, what made me smile in the Grauniad piece, is the fact that, despite several reasons being proffered for the shortage of care workers, the main reason, that 40,000 were sacked off for no good reason less than a year ago, is nowhere mentioned in the piece, it's as though it never happened. Lefties re-writing history again, as well they might in this case, the Grauniad was one of the most vociferous in demanding that non-vaxxed care workers were sacked. Now they pretend it never happened, move along please, nothing to see hear.

When did the Guardian ever dictate Tory party policy mon ami? Get a grip, this shower of $hit are perilous. If ever a government handling of a major crisis was beyond inept - look no further than to your lot. Starmer is a w@nker so there's no point in constantly harping on about him.

Credit where it's due BT, the Grauniad wanted the 45% tax rate re-instated, they've re-instated it, the Grauniad wants the NI Protocol left in place untouched, Truss was going to sort it out and no mistake, the latest word is that she's backing off on that as well, Fracking has got the green light from government apparently, the Grauniad opposes fracking, the Grauniad will get it's way, there will be no fracking. In fact so confident am I that no fracked gas will make it's way into our gas pipelines, that if it ever does, let me know immediately and I'll make my way to the nearest Burton's and display my bottom in it's biggest window. Once again mon ami you are wrong, it looks very much to me like the Grauniad is dictating Tory Party policy. You don't believe me ? Didn't the Grauniad want Boris out of No 10 ? And haven't those nice Tory MPs just done the Grauniad's bidding and got shut of him ?
