I suggest you read my post again and concentrate.

My staff are not circulating misinformation to my knowledge

But you would need as much medical knowledge as someone like Hrolf to sort the truth from the lies in social media

The people that spread the rumours without fact checking are those that do damage. Due to arrogance, enjoying being in a cult or to do mischief? Who knows. But I see the effect.

And like I said to that other quinoa munching tart on another thread. If you want to take the vaccine please feel free to take it.
Now I'm not donning a tin foil hat & I'm not going to suggest there is a tracking device in the vaccine or some else outlandish but we've lived with HIV for something like 40 years & from what I can tell we have no known cure for it? Although I'm probably right that billions of dollars has been spent on R&D. Yet we can manufacture a Covid vaccine in a matter of months & more Importantly deem it SAFE for public consumption?

So what have I missed in this paragraph?

“ I have had the Devil’s own job to get all of my Care Assistants to take the vaccine. If they don’t inevitably people will die. Also their jobs can’t be done properly and our business may well go under.”

Are you now saying you haven’t influenced your staff to take the vaccine, because that is pretty much how that reads? Did you perhaps tell them that they couldn’t do their jobs properly if they didn’t have it, or am I just imagining that?

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.

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.
There are 80 people in a case currently for a recent vaccine that even the WHO admits causes narcolepsy. Are you going to dismiss it as conspiracy theory or scaremongering?

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.

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.

Really! That’s a convenient sentence to add on late in the day. 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.
2) it is proven that to have the vaccine prevents you carrying and transmitting the virus to others.

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.

No, I thought I would address blindingly obvious lies like the vaccine is made of babies. 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.

What if it prevented transmission but made

I’ll take that bullet having reached the stage whereby such issues are purely theoretical.
Personally I’d get injected with Clattenburg’s DNA if it meant the pubs reopening.

I am glad you asked that.

What makes you think that it might?

This is precisely the reason I get angry. There have been social media assertions that this is a genuine risk. Where is the proof that it is?

[Link]

Is this a question you ask yourself before trying anything new? If not, then I suggest that this is misinformation originally planted to discourage people from taking the vaccine.

Note, however, that there is strong reason to believe that catching COVID may indeed make you a jaffa, at least for a while

Impairment of spermatogenesis was observed in COVID-19 patients, which could be partially explained as a result of an elevated immune response in testis. Additionally, autoimmune orchitis occurred in some COVID-19 patients. Further research on the reversibility of impairment and developing treatment are warranted.

[Link]

In the end we need to consider the least worst scenario. If we ever find evidence that the vaccine has negative side effects on fertility would those effects outweigh the benefits of avoiding COVID.

You state things like they are facts when they are not.

You make claims that you are not qualified to make.

You have to make it clear that it is just your opinion based on your own reasoning.

Giving people vitamin D on arrival is quite reasonable because it reduces the chance of a deficiency in patients that could impact on their recovery. That is not to say that it is some sort of miracle cure as you have previously implied.

Anyway, we basically agree on this subject and I have way more important things to be thinking about right now so byeeeee.

Good for you, well done on being macho.

Has it occurred to you that viruses are very good at multiplying. When they multiply they mutate. And then life is like a box of chocolates.

In whom will these mutations happen do you suppose?
