Compulsory Covid vaccines for NHS workers could trigger winter staff crisis

Compulsory coranvirus vaccines for NHS workers should be delayed until spring in case the move fuels a winter staff shortages crisis, health chiefs have said.

A fifth of frontline healthcare workers are still unvaccinated in some areas, even though they were in the first priority group at the start of the rollout.

The latest NHS figures show that 90 per cent of staff have been double-jabbed. However, around 120,000 workers are not - and at some trusts, including major hospitals in London and Birmingham, uptake is as low as 80 per cent.

Barts Health NHS Trust, Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health Foundation Trust, North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust, Barnet, Enfield and Haringey Mental Health NHS Trust and Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust all have an uptake of 80 per cent or less, according to NHS figures for the week ending Oct14.

Sajid Javid, the Health Secretary, last week said he was "leaning towards" making jabs compulsory for frontline health workers.

Iowa's GOP governor signs bill allowing those fired for refusing Covid-19 vaccine to get unemployment benefits

Iowa's Republican governor, Kim Reynolds, signed legislation on Friday that allows her residents to receive unemployment benefits if they are dismissed from their jobs for refusing to take the COVID-19 vaccine.

The GOP governor has been staunchly opposed to government vaccine and mask mandates and said that "no Iowan should be forced to lose their job or livelihood over the COVID-19 vaccine," according to remarks reported by The Associated Press. On Thursday, the Republican-led Iowa legislature passed the legislation during a special one-day session on a 68-27 vote.

The AP noted further that Reynolds has been an advocate for the vaccines, saying that she believes they are the best means of protection from the virus. She just doesn't favor the mandates, however.

Citing data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the AP reported that Reynolds' state is 23rd in the country for the percentage of its population who are fully vaccinated — 55.4 percent. Roughly one-third of Iowans have not gotten at least one dose of the vaccine "and most of the state continues to experience a high level of community spread of the virus," the newswire added.

But despite that, the governor said she will direct her attorney general to file a lawsuit against the federal government to challenge President Joe Biden's vaccine mandate for private employers that have more than 100 workers as soon as the rule is published by the Labor Department's Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Nearly two dozen other GOP-led states are teeing up to file suit against the mandate as well, according to reports.

One brave ICU physician reporting Covid-19 vaccine injuries leads to a dozen more

One act of bravery begins to snowball. Dr. Patricia Lee "risked it all" to step forward, after being ignored by public health officials, to reveal the serious series of harms she witnessed from Covid-19 vaccines in her intensive care unit. With that one act, my firm has now been contacted by more than a dozen other physicians. Attached are 11 declarations from physicians across the country attesting to serious harms from Covid-19 vaccines.

These physicians, like Dr. Lee, reached out to public health authorities at the CDC, FDA, and NIH for over ten months only to have their concerns dismissed or ignored. These agencies typically respond by saying that VAERS is not showing a safety signal so there is nothing to worry about. If you don't already know, VAERS is the system that the CDC and FDA say cannot show that a vaccine causes an injury, but yet can show a vaccine is safe. Meaning, heads they win, tails you lose.

Worse, many of these physicians were injured by a Covid-19 vaccine themselves and despite being physicians, the physicians from whom these injured physicians sought treatment also typically dismissed their injuries. And they are physicians seeking help from fellow physicians!

A multi-story building under construction has collapsed in Lagos, Nigeria, with the structure reduced to a pile of concrete. Local officials have confirmed at least four deaths in the incident, while dozens are feared trapped.

The incident occurred on Monday in the affluent neighborhood of Ikoyi. An unknown number of construction workers are believed trapped under the rubble, with a local official from the National Emergency Management Agency confirming that four people have died and a further four have been rescued alive.

Some 100 people may have been at the site when the building went down, two construction workers there told Reuters.

American Airlines cancels another 250 flights, blames 'bad weather and staffing issues'

American Airlines canceled over 250 more flights — about 9 percent of its scheduled trips — on Monday morning after canceling over 1,500 flights through the weekend, blaming the travel disruptions on weather woes and staffing issues.

Comment: YEAH RIGHT! Its pilots are on STRIKE because they won't take the damned vaccine!

By 8 a.m. ET Monday, American had canceled 269 flights for the day and delayed another 117, according to data from aviation tracking site FlightAware.

The recent bout of cancellations comes as the airline scrambles to recover from a messy Halloween weekend that saw the airline cancel as much as 30 percent of its scheduled flights on some days.

In a note to staff on Saturday, American COO David Seymour blamed the delays on poor weather conditions around the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport, the airline's base of operations, that had displaced staff around the country, according to CNBC.

Comment: These gormless ghouls are shameless!

Comment: They're gonna start backtracking all over the place as they figure out that nothing will run without 'those useless anti-vaxxers'.

Monty Python icon Terry Gilliam has new live production CANCELLED after staff uproar over 'transphobic' views

A London theatre has been criticised for "pandering" to mob rule after cancelling a production by Monty Python star Terry Gilliam - reportedly due to staff unrest about his views on trans rights and the #MeToo movement.

80-year-old Gilliam was set to co-direct the musical Into the Woods at the Old Vic next year, but the show was abruptly cancelled last week. While no reason was given, entertainment news outlet The Stage reported that there had been dissatisfaction among staff since May, when the production was originally announced.

Staff concerns apparently revolved around Gilliam's previous comments in the press relating to transgender issues, race, and the #MeToo movement, which some felt were at odds with the theatre's "culture and values."

Early closure of bars and restaurants had no impact on the spread of Covid in Japan

When comparing the impact of Covid in different countries, Japan is a clear outlier. In 2020, the country had zero days of mandatory business closures and zero days of mandatory stay-at-home orders. Despite seeing less change in mobility than major European countries, Japan has not had any excess mortality since the pandemic began.

As you may recall, the country hosted the Summer Olympics between 23rd July and 8th August. But even that did not lead to a large number of deaths. It has been suggested that Japanese people, and perhaps East Asians in general, have some degree of prior immunity to the virus.

In January of this year, Japan introduced restrictions on businesses for the first time. Specifically, 11 prefectures (including the capital, Tokyo) prohibited bars and restaurants from selling alcohol after 7pm, and forced them to close at 8pm.

A protester gathers containers that look like OxyContin bottles at an anti-opioid demonstration in front of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services headquarters in Washington on April 5, 2019. A California judge has ruled for top drug manufacturers as local governments seek billions of dollars to cover their costs from the nation’s opioid epidemic. Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson issued a tentative ruling Monday, Nov. 1, 2021, that said the governments hadn't proven the pharmaceutical companies used deceptive marketing to increase unnecessary opioid prescriptions and create a public nuisance.

A California judge has ruled for top drug manufacturers as local governments seek billions of dollars to cover their costs from the nation's opioid epidemic.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Peter Wilson issued a tentative ruling on Monday that said the governments hadn't proven the pharmaceutical companies used deceptive marketing to increase unnecessary opioid prescriptions and create a public nuisance.

"There is simply no evidence to show that the rise in prescriptions was not the result of the medically appropriate provision of pain medications to patients in need," Wilson wrote in a ruling of more than 40 pages.

"Any adverse downstream consequences flowing from medically appropriate prescriptions cannot constitute an actionable public nuisance," the ruling said.

Mandating vaccine for NHS staff would lead to winter staffing crisis, should wait until April - Providers Chief

Chris Hopson, the Chief Executive of NHS Providers has sent a warning that the NHS could suffer severe staff shortages this winter if mandatory vaccination for NHS staff comes into effect. Approximately 10% of all NHS workers haven't received two doses of a Covid vaccine, which encompasses roughly 120,000 members of staff, with Hopson saying that any vaccine mandate should be delayed until April to avoid any serious problems over the next few months. The Telegraph has the story.

Comment: The NHS has been at crisis levels for nearly a decade. Those running the NHS and the establishment behind the scenes know full well that this mandate will cause an unprecedented staff shortage, and this is is on top of hospitals running at a reduced capacity if they continue to enforce distancing restrictions in hospitals. The known consequences of both is that people will suffer, and some will die, unnecessarily.

For reasons that aren't yet clear, the establishment - working in concert across the globe - feels compelled to coerce as many people as possible into suffering these experimental injections, and it cares less about the 'collateral damage' it has to incur along the way:

Authors of Great Barrington Declaration got it right — Lockdowns were a disaster, especially for young people

In a segment of The Hill's "Rising," Kim Iversen discussed the controversial Great Barrington Declaration, suggesting the authors were correct about the effects of harsh pandemic lockdown policies.

"Back in October 2020, three well-respected epidemiologists and public health scientists — Sunetra Gupta of Oxford, Jay Bhattacharya of Stanford and Martin Kulldoroff of Harvard — wrote a memo detailing what they believed would be a better approach to handling the pandemic," said Iversen.

Iversen said:

"During that time everyone was still all about the lockdowns. The common wisdom of the day was stay home, save lives and wait for a vaccine. Schools closed, businesses were shuttered and people were scrambling to figure out how they were going to make ends meet."

Comment: Finally, a mainstream outlet that is reporting on the disastrous effects of creating open-air prisons and locking up healthy people for months on end. See also:
