Have we any idea of how many hospital staff are actually unvaccinated? Anyone got any stats on it at all? Iād imagine not, seed as people retain the right to privacy with their own medical history. And we do know that the hse talked of redeploying unvaccinated staff. So is this argument not a whole load of bollox over what is probably a tiny number of people if any. Not particularly at you @Cheasty more at anyone who wants to dig in over an issue we cant quantify at all.
Huh, I donāt get to decide whatās best for anybody, Iām merely expressing an opinion,
Unlike you I donāt have a very high opinion of myself, Iām just an ordinary Joe of medium intelligence, I have opinions that arenāt always backed up by obscure statistical evidence, but theyāre just my opinions, I neither have nor want any power over peopleās medical care, Iād think an unvaccinated healthcare worker to be a selfish prick but Iād say they wouldnāt give a fuck what I think

Percentage of Healthcare staff fuly vaccinated in the 26 is in the high 90s. Norn Iron is in the 70s.
They are real rebels up there
Savage thanks. Have you a source for that?
Funnily enough Iād think anyone with a bit of manners and humility would have more respect for workers who put their lives at risk while others stayed at home

Well they could reduce their risk if they took the jab.
Really? How much would a healthy 30 year old with natural immunity reduce their risk?
And they would be correct not to give a fuck what you think. One month into the pandemic in April 2020, almost 4,000 heathcare workers had contracted Covid in Ireland, 159 had been hospitalized and 5 had died. Today that number of dead healthcare workers is in the hundreds of thousands worldwide.
Healthcare workers were the most exposed by far to Covid and the most lied to during the pandemic, equipped with shit PPE, told for months that transmission was droplet when it was known it was airborne, asked to work insane hours, not allowed take time off, while their management worked from home.
The reluctance of some health care workers to get vaccinated is mainly due to trust issues, they simply donāt trust what they are being told. Itās especially the case in nursing home workers who were the most impacted, a high percentage of whom have had Covid.

Myself and @glenshane discussed this a while back. Having never lied on the internet you can take our word as gospel.

Youāre not internetting to your potential unless you throw in a few whoppers every now and then to keep people honest.
The Mike Hunt alias is for the serious bidness. My other log ins do nothing but tell porkies.

Real front line workers forced into debt so they could assuage the fears of Zoom academics and Joe Duffy listeners. Thatās the legacy of ISAG and ZC.

People who stayed at home had no choice in the matter, people who went to work had no choice in the matter, I wouldnāt have given a fuck about going to work every day for the past 18 months, have I less of a right to an opinion because I had no workplace to go to for a couple of months,
Weāre you front and centre for clapping the healthcare workers or putting a candle in your window, Iād be surprised if you were, Iād say you took a contrarian view to that as well.
Iāve worked at close quarters with many people right throughout the pandemic, Iāll continue to make the odd comment on the internet if thatās alright with you and your expert on everything pals.
