Correct Baz. Listen to any phone in from a nurse.
One was in tears. Is that correct for a job? I don't think so

Exactly Velvet 
I remember all those who thought this wasn't happening and it was a flu. It was a laugh. Maguire and Pierce on the Sky paper review. Darren Adam. Matt Stadlen. Lot's of others.
No comment.

I'll admit to thinking it wouldn't turn into anything near what it has done Velvet.

...And I see that despite all that time he spent downplaying the virus, Trump is now berating Republican politicians who won't admit they've had the vaccine - most notably potential rival presidential candidate, DeSantis...

They are downplaying the virus bro

I'm a bit confused about NHS medical staff preferring to leave the profession rather than have the COVID jab when i read that having HEP B is mandatory
Staff Screening and Immunisation Policy Policy: HR17

If a vaccine mandate is already in a job description then a candidate would have no choice, whereas in this case it is being forced upon them post engagement of employment.
Personally I think it is selfish of anyone in a close personal caring sector to refuse it.
I know it can still be caught even when fully vaccinated, but the illness is minimal.

Isn't the principle the same though - it's medically necessary - he understood that for HEP B

Hepatitis B immunisation
30. It is recommended that all healthcare workers, including students who have direct contact with blood, blood-stained body fluids or patients’ tissues, are offered immunisation against hepatitis B and tests to check their response to immunisation, including investigation of non-response. Guidance on immunisation against hepatitis B, which includes information about dosage/protocols and supplies, is contained in chapter 18 of the UK Health Departments’ publication, Immunisation against infectious disease.

That's a fallacy my dear lady. It can be terminal. There are many cases

From what I understood they were not leaving the profession, but being to other jobs away from frontline jobs and direct patient contact. That could be rather tricky though!
Cressida has it under control Baz
So had Sir Walter Scott: "Oh what a tangled web we weave/when first we practice to deceive"
That alone was worthy of a monument on Princes Street.
