Vaccine Mandate Could Force Holiday Homes for Disabled People to Close

The vaccine mandate for care homes is having “devastating consequences” for the sector, according to Revitalise, a charity offering respite holidays for disabled people and carers, with some of the few holiday homes facing closure due to staff shortages. The Guardian has the story.

The 60 year-old company, whose patron is the businesswoman and former Prime Minister’s wife Samantha Cameron, runs three specialist holiday centres in England which cater for 4,600 disabled people and their carers each year.

Janine Tregelles, the Chief Executive, said the future of the charity was under threat because of the policy that all care staff in England must be fully vaccinated against coronavirus by November 11th.

“For Revitalise and for the care sector, the mandatory vaccination policy will, if implemented, have devastating consequences,” she said.

The Government said it was vital for care home staff to be fully vaccinated to protect some of the most vulnerable members of society. More than 90% of eligible staff had received their first dose of a Covid vaccine by last week, it said. …

Ministers have previously said they estimate that about 7% of the 570,000 CQC-registered care home staff in England – about 40,000 people – will refuse the vaccine and therefore no longer be able to care for residents after November 11th.

Tregelles said the future of at least one of its three specialist respite centres was at stake. She said five key, longstanding colleagues had chosen not to be vaccinated “because they believe in their right to bodily integrity, which is enshrined in the Human Rights Act”.

Another seven employees, who have been vaccinated, are threatening to resign if their colleagues are made redundant, she said. This means that one holiday centre may have to close, putting “the rest of the charity under threat”. …

She urged ministers to ditch the policy before it deepened the staffing crisis “they have exacerbated beyond measure”.

What’s been done to the physically and mentally disabled during this enduring atrocity merits the execution of its perpetrators. In a salutary fashion.

Absolutely amazes me that no one calls out the completely controlled and evil media in this country. Don’t know how you can have a Free Speech Union which has these propagandists in key positions – they are publishing material everyday which encourages discrimination against those who dare to question the elites narrative and have no public voice.

The ‘Far Right’ does exist but only in the minds of the Far Left, who are very real. Fascist / Far Right are simply terms meant to identify as targets for attack those who disagree with the Far Left. Leftists consider themselves to be the only people who are right on anything and so only those who are absolutely in agreement with them can be right too. Everyone who is wrong is a Fascists or Right Winger. The extent to which one is so depends upon the distance between one’s views and the particular leftist one is in disagreement with, like the concentric ripples that spread on the surface of a pond when a pebble is dropped into it. Each ring, or ripple, defines a zone of incorrectness, becoming stronger with distance from the point of origin.

Death, Steve, it’s about causing people to die in very big numbers. Take a moment to read up on what they did in April last year to elderly people in care homes. Hancock boasted that they were given a good death by injecting them with Midazolam.

Indeed… and perhaps those forcing this RESET 1st world lockstep destruction have used Jacques Attali words from 1981 as a blueprint: “The future will be about finding a way to reduce the population. We start with the old, because as soon as they exceed 60-65 years, people live longer than they produce and that costs society dearly. Then the weak, then the useless that do not help society because there will always be more of them, and above all, ultimately, the stupid. Euthanasia targeting these groups; Euthanasia will have to be an essential tool in our future societies, in all cases. Of course, we will not be able to execute people or build camps. We get rid of them by making them believe that it is for their own good.  Overpopulation, and mostly useless (sic), is something that is too costly economically. Socially, too, it is much better when the human machine comes to an abrupt standstill than when it gradually deteriorates. Neither will we be able to test millions upon millions of people for their intelligence, you bet that! We will find or cause something a pandemic targeting certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus affecting… Read more »

Exactly! By only including the so-called protection (when in reality the risks to the vulnerable are higher from those jabbed with high loads and low symptoms) and ignoring those who have strong protection from spreading and re-catching SARS2, the smell wafting from the state is enough to keep anyone with a working bullshit detector from getting stabbed with a clot shot.

The policy is driven by the situation. The Medical Establishment and Big Pharma wants everyone vaccinated. This policy will achieve that.

It may throw many out of work and kill some – but that’s not the point. The point is that everyone will be vaccinated. That is the AIM of the policy…

“Less than half the UK population can expect to be vaccinated against coronavirus, the head of the government’s vaccine task force has said in an attempt to clear up the public’s “misguided” perception of the programme’s aim. Kate Bingham told the Financial Times that vaccinating everyone in the country was “not going to happen”, adding: “We just need to vaccinate everyone at risk.””

It could (and probably will) get even worse. In Slovenia, you now need a vaccine pass to fill up your car with petrol.

I believe it’s quite easy for people to medically exempt themselves. Go here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/temporary-medical-exemptions-for-covid-19-vaccination-of-people-working-or-deployed-in-care-homes/temporary-medical-exemptions-for-covid-19-vaccination-of-people-working-or-deployed-in-care-homes

Then follow the links to the various jabs concoctions under the ‘Who is exempt’ paragraph. For each, you will see that para 4.5 ‘Interaction with other medicinal products …’ states – for all jabs currently used in the UK – that no interaction studies have been performed. Bingo: you take products for an existing medical condition, so you do not wish to risk having a jab.

Put it in writing (and I wouldn’t specify what your medical condition is, nor what you take to mitigate against it: you are entitled to privacy in such matters) and send to your employer.

How can that not be Job Done? Even if your medical condition is the odd headache and you take paracetomol for it.

My wife is prescribed 3 drugs for a heart condition. She was advised to be very careful regarding other medicines – and even to steer clear of things like vitamin supplements, ‘to be on the safe side, because you just don’t know if a certain ingredient would interfere with the heart medication’. Something along those lines. I would have liked if she could have been taking a supplement, but I am sure if we enquired, we would just be told best not to.

Anyway, very explicitly warned about taking anything else in conjunction with the medication … but likely this would not apply to the jab as it seemingly Top-Trumps absolutey every other possible card in the deck!

The last people who should be working in care homes are the vaxxed. They could easily be infected and transmit without knowing. The only ‘safe’ people in such an environment are people who have had it and naturally recovered and have full immunity.

It is surprising how many people are about 6 months behind the science in this regard.

But then again, people in the ‘influence’ industry are very aware of the primacy effect — they know that so long as you keep new information relatively low key most people will only recall the first thing they were told — in this case that vaccines are perfectly safe, tested and are important for the protection of others — just like the measles or smallpox vaccines. The authorities can claim that they are presenting new information (the vaccines always were about protecting you from serious disease) and also be happy that the majority will just keep on saying ‘vaccinate everyone for herd immunity’ anyway.

Somehow the existential threat this poses to various sectors doesn’t quite tally with the claim that nearly everyone has already been vaccinated. I just don’t believe the numbers are as high as they are and frankly, taking any numbers at all from government at face value would be incredibly naive. I don’t think we’re as isolated as they want us to believe.

A 2013 Cochrane review of staff flu vaccination in care homes found no effect of non-vaccination on incidence of flu in those they cared for. This is significant because the government is also looking at making flu vaccination mandatory for these workers https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD005187.pub4/pdf/full

Nice. But facts, real information and truth stopped mattering a long long time ago.

They’re not listening to us. They don’t care, they have an agenda. They are going to keep pushing and pushing. And we can either roll over and let them have their way or refuse to comply.

I know what I’m doing.

Let them close. When the carnage begins, lay the problem square at the door of Boris Johnson.
Care workers shouldn’t resign, make them fire you. Then set up a class legal action against the firm. A business can’t mandate an experimental gene therapy without your full consent.

The jabs don’t stop infection or contagion.

The policy has nothing to do with protecting the old and everything to do with establishing the precedent that jabs can be mandated for a group of people.

From a select group of people (care home workers) they will expand the precedent to other groups, because once you accept the principle for one group, why not another group.

Just like vaccines were initially to protect the most vulnerable and now are being stabbed into 12 year olds (and soon 5 year olds (if Pfizer has its way, which it will).

Who cares if holiday care homes close down. They just torture the residents with isolation from their loved ones whenever they decree it anyway.

And we are all on the brink of being turned into slaves of the state. So, quite frankly, holiday care homes are going to close? I wish I could care.

At last pushback from decent honest people. Vaccinate the vulnerable, that’s what vaccines are for, not to be used as a safety blanket. Good to see people supporting their colleagues, sorry to see the charity suffering for this Governments incompetence.

Having witnessed the culling at first hand last year when treatments were suppressed and not disclosed.When the slightest hint of flu like symptoms was countered with the T34 not the tank but similar outcomes.
I’m ashamed I stood by till the penny dropped whatever the strategy or end game they will fail through lack of numbers.If your wearing a mask at this point your either to be pitted or vilified because you are dragging the whole show on.

Isn’t it about time to remove the term ‘Worth reading in full’ when linking anything to the MSM? these cretins are playing a vital part in the sinister ruling elites terror campaign and the child abuse that is school masking and jabs. A source reference and link to a mirror site to deprive the terrorists of advertising revenue would be far more appropriate. Every penny they get is taking us closer to dystopia.

Very little has been worth laying eyes on in the controlled media for at least 18 months, the more I learn I suspect this has been the case for decades. This just appears to be the finale in a long line of events to deliberately destroy our societies and create a new order from the ensuing chaos.

Sent into care homes without PPE last year, now no jab no jab whether you’ve got immunity or not. Unfortunately in that position myself. Despite numerous meetings I am left with no choice but to consent (under considerable duress) and rethink my 20 year career. Bad times ahead once they’re allowed to forcibly vaccinate us for the ‘health’ of others
