The law states existing employees cannot be forced to take the vaccine. Nor can they be discriminated against, shifts withheld or sacked. Although being vaccinated can be a prerequisite for new employees. So as the hospital are operating within the law you wouldn't even get to court.

An employer cannot compel you to be vaccinated if you do not wish to be so. However, it may be within their rights – depending on the circumstances – to take action if you are not going to be vaccinated and they think there are good reasons why you should be. For example, this would particularly apply to those working in healthcare or care home settings. In some circumstances, employees could in fact be dismissed for refusing the vaccination if it means they will present a threat to themselves, patients or service users.

jumpstart Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 My point is ..its likely more than one thing. Just being overweight doesn't necessarily mean you will die but it does mean you are in the most at risk group.Along with Dementia and Diabetes.All of these affect your immune system.It could of coarse be Genetics. You can benefit your immune system with diet and exercise. Beneficial Gut bacteria is crucial to your immune system. So there are multiple parts to surviving Covid.

jumpstart Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 The death rate from COVID-19 is about 10 times higher in countries where half or more of the population is overweight, according to a report by the World Obesity Federation. The report released on Wednesday titled COVID-19 and Obesity: The 2021 Atlas has shown that being overweight is a “highly significant predictor” of developing complications from contracting COVID-19 such as hospitalisation, intensive care and mechanical ventilation, as well as being a “predictor of death” from the disease.

pepe63xnotuse Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 So..unhealthy, overweight people, who would by default, have a poor diet ( which may well have resulted in further underlying health issues?), do less well against Covid than people who are healthy,are not overweight, (and due to their healthier diet are less likely to have "underlying" health issues)? Who knew eh? I do hope the relevant authorities are notified of these findings.? :-S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumpstart Posted March 4, 2021 Author Share Posted March 4, 2021 It would seem 50% of this country either didn't know or dont care enough. The Government has put forward plans to pay obese people to exercise. .....you can lead a horse to water but you can't......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" No helmet no boots no jacket no job" They can, but they will need to change current employment law. You can't be a surgeon without a hepatitis jab but that was included by introducing it as a contract requirement and over time it became the norm.
