Health Secretary Sajid Javid has refused to rule out mandating covid jabs for other jobs. From tomorrow, care home workers who cannot show that they have been double-jabbed face the sack.
NHS workers have been told that they have until April to have both jabs, or they too will be fired.
Talk Radio’s Julia Hartley-Brewer asked Javid this morning:
“Can you provide a guarantee to me and my listeners that the compulsory jab rule will not be extended to any other jobs?”
In reply, Javid said:
“The nature of this job and er of a Health Secretary in a Pandemic is unfortunately there’s not many guarantees in a major pandemic. Who knows what route the pandemic will take and whether there will be new variants and vaccine escape variants or whatever…”
He went on to say that there are no plans to mandate the jab beyond care and health workers, but he’s lying.
In other news, Welsh politicians voted last night to extend the country’s vaccine passport scheme to cinemas, concert halls and theatres from next Monday.
Yes, if you live in Wales you now need to prove you have been double-jabbed or passed a lateral flow test to go and see a film.
