Louise Akester was an NHS care-worker for 14 years. She has just lost her job because she refused to have a covid-19 jab. In an emotional video, Louise said that she wanted to wait until more is known about the potential long-term side-effects.
According to The Mail Online:
Speaking within minutes of finishing her last shift, Ms Akester says in the video: That’s the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do, saying goodbye to everybody, all the people that I’ve cared for, for so long, the people I’ve worked with.
‘It’s been so emotional, this is so unfair.
‘I just can’t believe what the bloody government is doing to us, I just don’t get it, I don’t understand.’
Although the care worker refused to get vaccinated, as part of her job requirements, she still tested three times a week for Covid, wore PPE equipment and followed ‘all guidelines relating to infection control’.
Ms Akester says the situation is ‘unfair’ because care home residents and their visitors are not required to be vaccinated by the government.
She said she hasn’t ruled getting the vaccine in the future but does not wish to be vaccinated now.
The 36-year-old says she speaks to represent the 40,000 care home workers in England who are to lose their jobs by November 11.
From this coming Thursday, all care workers in adult care homes who do not have medical exemptions must demonstrate that they have been double jabbed against Covid-19.
Those who do not comply will be fired.
