The NHS Workers Fighting For Choice

This week MPs voted in favour of making vaccination mandatory within the NHS by 385 - 100 and as a result up to 100,000 NHS workers could lose their job by next Spring if they choose not to be vaccinated.

This is after the House of Lords Committee report found that the evidence is insufficient to back mandatory NHS staff vaccination and follows the previous madates in care homes where it is estimated that care homes stand to lose between 50,000 - 70,000 staff this winter as a result and the NHS is up next.

The NHS waiting lists are already at a record 5.98 million people, with over 750,000 people missing referrals for cancer diagnoses and over 350,000 peole waiting more than a year for essential treatment.

The vaccine mandates in the NHS will further decimate public healthcare. The good news is action is being taken despite the vote earlier this week.

The NHS100k was formed to encourage NHS and care staff to stand together against vaccine mandates, whether vaccinated or not, to protect public healthcare by defending the jobs of the 100,000+ NHS staff who have not been vaccinated.

In this episode I am delighted to be joined tonight by Lilith, a long standing parademic and activist, who is helping to coordinate the NHS100k campaign.

This interview was recorded before this weeks vote but we are streaming LIVE where we will discuss:

- The individual right to choose, regardless of profession- The false claims about the need for NHS workers to be vaccinated to protect the public and the healthcare system

- How staff losses as a result of vaccine mandates and booster requirements with result in future staff losses and deteriotation of public healthcare given existing demands and a record patient backlog.- The hypocrisy of delaying the mandates until Spring; if unvaccinated NHS staff are deemed a danger to the public, then surely they would be removed now and not be asked to prop up the NHS during winter pressures only to be rewarded for their efforts by being sacked in April.
