The Next Looming Crisis, Created Solely By The Government

Claire Callender, 42, the manager, has already closed 12 of her 27 beds because “there aren’t people who want to do the job”.

And on Wednesday she said goodbye to another care worker, this time because of the new rule making double Covid jabs a condition of deployment for all care home workers in England as of Thursday.

So, what sort of people are leaving? Are they those unreasonable, science-shunning 'antivaxxers' that the MSM keeps banging on about? 

Katie Madden, who worked night shifts at Greenways for the last 18 months, came close to tears when she told the Guardian about leaving. She worked through a Covid outbreak at the home and was ill herself with the virus for weeks. She had planned to get the vaccine, but was anxious about it making her ill again. “The decision was taken out of my hands [when the law making it mandatory was introduced] … and I thought, ‘No, I’m not ready,’” she said.

Yeah. You read that right. A carer who has had covid herself, and in the normal scheme of things would be expected to have some immunity. But no, she must have the jabs. And so it goes on.  

...the rule is only made more difficult by the fact that NHS workers won’t have to get vaccinated until April 2022. Many care staff reluctant to have the vaccine have as a result already moved to the health service.

And will then move again in April, creating yet another crisis. But where will they go? 

Those leaving this week are going to new jobs including in the NHS and handling parcels at Amazon and John Lewis warehouses, he said.

I expect some will retrain as HGV drivers. Remember that, just a few months ago> Another shortage created almost entirely by the government!
