It was announced last night that mandatory vaccines could be delayed by half an year for NHS employees. This revelation came after nationwide protests and demands from Tory backbenchers not to remove the rule. 

According to the Telegraph, Boris Johnson may be thinking of ‘kicking it down’ in order to prevent another humiliating Tory rebellion.   

This is just two weeks away from the time that medical staff will need to verify their vaccination status. February 3, however, marks the end of the days when they are able to book in for jabs. We will issue dismissal warnings to those who have not had their jabs administered by the hospital on February 4. They will be asked to extend their notice period until March 31, and they will receive dismissal warnings. 

Despite the threats to their career and several booster campaigns, more than 80,000 NHS staff – six per cent of the workforce – remain unvaccinated.

Many joined the anti-vaxxers in protest against mandatory vaccination rules across the nation on Saturday. Many health professionals were seen in London throwing their scrubs at officers on Downing Street. Others laid their uniforms down in Trafalgar Square.

Piers Corbyn is a well-known anti-vaxxer. He was one of the protestors who gathered in front of BBC Broadcasting House. Another protestor wore a Squid Game mask with biohazard suits, which included a blow-up pen and an syringe.

The uniform of an Ambulance worker was found hanging in Regent’s Park. It had a message on its back that read: “Paramedic 9 Years, Clapping on Thursday, Spit out on Monday.” 

These so-called “freedom rallies”, also took place in Manchester, Birmingham and Leeds as well as Newcastle. There, protestors displayed signs saying: No vaccine mandate’, heros zeros – from clapping, to sacking’.  

Even though the UK has seen a drop in mortality rates as more people get vaccinated than ever before, many anti-vaxx nurses believe that the vaccine is an experimental drug.     

As the Royal College of GPs demanded that the Government extend the deadline for preventing mass staff shortages within the Health Service, Saturday’s demonstrations were a result.

Martin Marshall Chairman stated that mandatory vaccination of health workers was “not the way forward” and around 10% of employees at hospitals and GP offices had not received the Covid jab.

Christabelle Gregory (32-year-old ambulance worker) protested in London. I’m still young. I’ve developed antibodies while working in the frontline. I do not want to get the vaccine.
