Students Challenge University Vaccine Pass Policy

The comments on the gofundme page 🤦‍♂️. God help these melodramatic loons.

Yeah. Why should aspiring healthcare professionals be expected to give a damn about the possibly vulnerable patients to whom they might transmit an infectious disease?

Hope they win their case!

This is not about being pro / anti vax anymore.

Certain people in society and government are enjoying this power and control they have over other people's lives (and in this case careers). It's getting completely out of hand at this point. Bullying would not be too strong a term tbh.

Unless there is a push back from more people against this authoritarianism, then we are heading down a slippery slope in society. And we could be stuck like this for many years to come.

The people they would be caring for are most likely vaccinated, hence there should be no problem.

Maybe I'm misreading study results, but I think these 2 have their claim wrong. The Lancet article they refer to seems to be comparing breakthrough cases in vaccinated people to unvaccinated cases. So they're just saying that anyone who has Covid risks passing it on, regardless of vaccination status?

But being vaccinated reduces the chance of getting an infection to pass on in the first place.

"...the authors compared the viral kinetics in breakthrough delta variant infections in vaccinated people with delta variant infections in unvaccinated people..."

Physiotherapists and midwives can work privately, they don't need to be in the hospital system.

Covid vaccines aren't mandatory for hospital workers (yet) and even if they were these girls could work somewhere else.

They are hinging their entire "case" to a study they clearly don't understand.

I think the health service going forward has dodged 2 bullets here.

As for the weak minded gleefully handing over money to fund the folly, not much can be done unfortunately.

Any word on the stupidity vaccine yet?

They are brave to stand up for what they believe in, whether you agree with their stance or not. They are putting their careers and future reputation on the line. I don't think that's something most people would do without feeling some considerable trepidation.

Just wait and see if we're still here come next Christmas, you'll be surprised how many people might be taking similar action. Perhaps even some of the same people who are ridiculing these girls, as there is no definitive end in sight for all of this draconian lunacy at present!

They're fulfilling the basic requirement of all students which is to be annoying as fck.

They are putting their careers and future reputation on the line in order to assert a what they suppose to be their right to put other people's lives and health on the line.

This isn't admirable.

Grifters gonna grift.

What did that dodgy "barrister" (but not a member of the law library) Tracey O Mahoney do with her 140k+...it was at 50k after 5 days but she bumped it up...chancers
