Actually, my comment was intended to be sardonic. For clarification, it was made in reference to the old leper colonies, hence the use of the word, 'unclean'.

'Sardonic'. I like that word. It's a new one for me.

No offence intended caller, as I said in my earlier post, agree with the majority of your comments, just not the label - beit "sardonic" or not.... Though that's a new word for myself also! :wink:

I’m sure they’ll be a last minute compromise - whether you agree or disagree with the principle of compulsory vaccination of medical staff, the simple fact is that the NHS cannot cope with its existing staffing numbers let alone 70,000 less.
No surprise that a “compromise” seems to be coming and NHS staff are not going to be sacked if they haven’t been vaccinated.

Using the less dangerous variants of covid as the excuse for the u-turn.

My thoughts are that many more will get vaccinated now that it's not mandatory. I'm sure a percentage of those refusing the vaccine is just a protest to being 'told what they can do'.
