"If you are off longer as you chose not to get vaccinated should you get paid for all the time off sick. nobody, NHS or other, should get sick pay if off with covid and not vaccinated" Should the same apply to any illness caused by something "avoidable"? Illnesses caused by smoking, drinking, obesity, unprotected sex, etc... I think that it is important to remember, most people have contributed through their wages towards the "benefits" they are paid if they are sick. Sick pay isn't some bonus for being good, it's a necessity to allow people to pay their bills & eat. Cal | |||

"Would you like to see smokers with lung cancer get no sick pay while they are off work getting treatment? How about someone who falls over pissed and injures themselves should they get sick pay? How about people who are so fat they cant move should they not get sickness benefit" Any of the above should maybe get a reduced payment if any at all, certainly injury from being pi$$ed should not get paid sick pay. IMHO | |||

"Do your research,I mean actually research things don't just follow what you've heard or a headline you've swiped past and you'll realise how silly this thread is. Like actually pick apart how ridiculous and how broad a range you would have to cover in order for it to be non discriminating against a certain individual. So all people who have time off for cancer treatment who have lung cancer largely due to smoking shouldn't have sick pay either. If you have a sexually transmitted disease and need time off....you get my point. I don't get sick pay as I'm self employed so none of it matters to me either way, the right to Freedom of choose however does affect me." Exactly this. People need to get their heads out of the newspapers. There aren’t very many ‘illnesses’ that aren’t self inflicted or man made.

"Just going to repost something I put on another thread. Not going to rewrite to take account of the OP being about NHS workers and suck pay but the sentiment is all still relevant... So what about people in hospital due to adverse reactions to the vaccine (that they chose to have)? Presume you would not pull those out of ICU because their choice aligned with yours? What about all the obese people who are being more seriously affected by Covid despite being vaccinated? Or the smokers? After all they made the choice to continue being overweight or smoke, despite us knowing for over 18mths that their lifestyle choices put them at significantly higher risk of serious illness or dying of Covid? How about all the vaccinated people who stopped taking any precautions once jabbed. Partying (swinging included), not wearing masks, going to the pub etc. We all know the vaccines reduce the risk but we also know they do not remotely eradicate the risk. In fact due to reduced symptoms many do not even know they are ill and walk around spreading it. Well they all made choices too so shall we pull them out of ICU? OP and those who agree (to not giving sick pay) give your heads a wobble. In 2020 you were probably standing on your doorstep clapping for these NHS workers! "

"Totally agree. Personally I think all NHS should be vaccinated. If I had a relative being cared for by someone who had not had the vaccine, they then caught it and passed it to my relative who dies from it, then I believe they should be charged with manslaughter. This threat would surely make more staff get vaccinated." When caring for your relative the vaccine status of the NHS workers should be irrelevant. What matters is current clear tests. A vaccinated person is far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms and therefore not know they are “ill” whereas an unvaccinated person is far more likely to develop symptoms and therefore know they are ill! I suspect anyone working in the NHS is hyper aware of what to look out for and their duty of care to others! | |||

I personally know many people who are vaxed and suffered far more with being infected than others i know who aren't. Close family members that were unwell for 4 weeks had been vaxed the others in family not vaxed unwell for between 2 and 5 days. If you are unhealthy through your own lifestyle choices then you should be thrown on the rubbish pile with all the unclean unvaxed. Its just another very poor coercion taktic by members of the public who cannot accept others have different opinions and knowledge. Peace and love | |||

"Do your research,I mean actually research things don't just follow what you've heard or a headline you've swiped past and you'll realise how silly this thread is. Like actually pick apart how ridiculous and how broad a range you would have to cover in order for it to be non discriminating against a certain individual. So all people who have time off for cancer treatment who have lung cancer largely due to smoking shouldn't have sick pay either. If you have a sexually transmitted disease and need time off....you get my point. I don't get sick pay as I'm self employed so none of it matters to me either way, the right to Freedom of choose however does affect me. Exactly this.

Makes perfect sense instead of rewarding them with sick pay Anyway regardless of the strange post let me clarify my comment I think it is hypocritical for someone to suggest denying someone sick pay based on a perceived self infliction of an illness while sitting in their glass house. My personal opinion of whether people should get sick pay or not (regardless of their ailment) I have not shared. Who is in this "glass house" you mention? Oh for goodness sake. The person suggesting that non vaccinated people should be denied sick pay despite (I’m almost certain of it) doing things that can cause illness or put them in a position where they require sick pay themselves (such as driving/eating salt/sugar/sat fats) Etc So your assuming "the person" isn't prepared to take less or no sick pay if applicable? Yes I am assuming that considering “the person” has only suggested that unvaccinated people (I’m also assuming they mean unvaccinated against covid - just to be 100% clear of all of the assumptions I’ve made before suggesting it’s a stupid idea) should be denied sick pay. What do you even mean “if applicable” unless said person lives in a bubble then it will always be applicable. As I said there aren’t many illnesses or ailments that aren’t self inflicted or man made. I was under the impression you don't have to smoke to get cancer, pedestrians can get knocked over by a car, mental health won't be self inflicted, there is plenty. I also know people who don't drink, drive and are slim, but they still have to pay the same contributions as fat piss heads who drive d*unk. Ok reposting this without the rude comment at the end. Because I’m not that person (I just find you infuriating) You don’t have to smoke to get cancer. But if you think smoking is the only cause of self inflicted / man made cancer then I’m not even sure I can continue responding to you. We are on completely different levels of understanding and logic. ALL cancer is man made. It’s not a disease that just fell out of a tree. The people who don’t drink/drive and are slim 100% still do things that cause illness. The pedestrian that got hit by a car could of prevented it by not going out!

"If you are off longer as you chose not to get vaccinated should you get paid for all the time off sick. nobody, NHS or other, should get sick pay if off with covid and not vaccinated Should the same apply to any illness caused by something "avoidable"? Illnesses caused by smoking, drinking, obesity, unprotected sex, etc... I think that it is important to remember, most people have contributed through their wages towards the "benefits" they are paid if they are sick. Sick pay isn't some bonus for being good, it's a necessity to allow people to pay their bills & eat. Cal Yes they have contributed through wages and the NHS has provided the fix (vaccine) from that contribution, why should they be allowed "two bites of the cherry"?" What fix? As clearly the last wave all over the world made vaccinated just as sick as unvaccinated. The hate is unbelievable | |||

I personally know many people who are vaxed and suffered far more with being infected than others i know who aren't. Close family members that were unwell for 4 weeks had been vaxed the others in family not vaxed unwell for between 2 and 5 days. If you are unhealthy through your own lifestyle choices then you should be thrown on the rubbish pile with all the unclean unvaxed. Its just another very poor coercion taktic by members of the public who cannot accept others have different opinions and knowledge. Peace and love " It’s like a ponzi scheme for retards. I don’t see anyone as a retard for their choices but their thinking shows itself for what it is.  | |||

This threat would surely make more staff get vaccinated. When caring for your relative the vaccine status of the NHS workers should be irrelevant. What matters is current clear tests. A vaccinated person is far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms and therefore not know they are “ill” whereas an unvaccinated person is far more likely to develop symptoms and therefore know they are ill! I suspect anyone working in the NHS is hyper aware of what to look out for and their duty of care to others!" This . | |||

You cannot pinpoint who has got vaccinated or not plus, obviously by the amount of times this has been discussed, I thought you'd be well aware that the vaccine does not stop anyone getting covid or passing it on to others. It's three to protect or lessen the symptoms for the vaccinated person not anyone else. If a vaccinated person contracted covid then passed it on unknowingly, would that be alright then? Of course, the alternative being that there's not enough staff to look after your relative so what's the end result? | |||

Yes of course they should.I'm not someone who is against vaccines, however- We should stop with the divisiveness. Enough of the divide and rule agenda under the establishment Tory party as it is. After all unvaccinated NHS staff were were all cheering and clapping for at 8pm and considered heroes then, so would utter hypocritical if we demonise them now if they have chosen what to do with their own bodies. | |||

"Sick pay is for sick people Like most people, NHS get full pay for a term then half pay and if they are off long term they will have their contract terminated so it's in their interest to be vaccinated for a disease they will be in daily contact with." Yes, key thing being it may be in their interests... Given as you say they have been in daily contact with this disease for the last two years. If they haven't caught it by now what would lead anyone to think they will catch it in the next 2 years? If, if, if arguments need to have a bit more substance when it comes to forcibly removing someone from their job. | |||

"Totally agree. Personally I think all NHS should be vaccinated. If I had a relative being cared for by someone who had not had the vaccine, they then caught it and passed it to my relative who dies from it, then I believe they should be charged with manslaughter. This threat would surely make more staff get vaccinated." I have to ask; if your relative was only cared for by vaccinated staff and contracted and died from COVID, should the vaccinated person be charged with manslaughter? Oh, and what if you passed it on to your relative? Perhaps you have been vaccinated and the personal protection that it has offered you masks your COVID symptoms and you inadvertently pass it to your relative who then dies. I presume you will hand yourself over to the police with a full confessions. You will, won't you? | |||

Yes...im not sure if the debate or language used has moved on... But Im not sure if they were misrepresented in the past or we just didn't ask such probing question s... But I'm not sure when my kids had the polio and mmr Jabs it was communicated that "it won't stop them from catching it but will reduce the chances of serious illness in the event they do catch it"... Will be interesting to see the harm to other vaccine take up this episode will cause. | |||

And if they did pass it on to the staff and kill them do you think your relative should be charged with manslaughter? | |||

Sadly I lost my mum 2yrs this June not covid she fell fractured hip passed away 3weeks later.

"If you are off longer as you chose not to get vaccinated should you get paid for all the time off sick. nobody, NHS or other, should get sick pay if off with covid and not vaccinated Should the same apply to any illness caused by something "avoidable"? Illnesses caused by smoking, drinking, obesity, unprotected sex, etc... I think that it is important to remember, most people have contributed through their wages towards the "benefits" they are paid if they are sick. Sick pay isn't some bonus for being good, it's a necessity to allow people to pay their bills & eat. Cal Yes they have contributed through wages and the NHS has provided the fix (vaccine) from that contribution, why should they be allowed "two bites of the cherry"? NHS also supplies assistance to give up smoking, free condoms, dieticians etc. etc " That's true, they are called Health Trainers. I should know. | |||

What about those who have had a vaccine but its no longer effective (ie greater than 3 months ago). What about those infected with a variant / sub variant which the vaccine is minimally effective for? What about those with a vax but who go to work sick and spread it?

Not voting does not exclude a person from politics. Voting does not put a person in a special club, it affords you the right to choose a representative in parliament or local government that you would prefer to make decisions on your behalf. Your chosen representative may or may not win the majority of the vote, but whichever representative wins will represent the people in their constituency regardless of how they voted or if they didn't vote at all. | |||

"Totally agree. Personally I think all NHS should be vaccinated. If I had a relative being cared for by someone who had not had the vaccine, they then caught it and passed it to my relative who dies from it, then I believe they should be charged with manslaughter. This threat would surely make more staff get vaccinated. When caring for your relative the vaccine status of the NHS workers should be irrelevant. What matters is current clear tests. A vaccinated person is far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms and therefore not know they are “ill” whereas an unvaccinated person is far more likely to develop symptoms and therefore know they are ill! I suspect anyone working in the NHS is hyper aware of what to look out for and their duty of care to others!" This is not, actually, true but it is often repeated. Someone vaccinated is not "far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms". The data actually indicates that they are less likely to be hospitalised and are less likely to pass it on. Again, I will view the scientific advice to be more reliable than that of someone proposing their own theory using "common sense" because this situation is not at all "common". If there is some actual evidence then it should be considered. Is there any? For the OP point on withholding treatment, or charging people for manslaughter, then no. However, I can understand the depth of feeling by those who may needlessly lose loved ones. 'Needlessly' is the correct word. Choosing to risk your own health is one thing, but risking that of others is less tolerable. However, there is no way to fairly differentiate. | |||

I think at this point we have to hold that message up for scrutiny and say that actually the science is not necessarily science but Something that we are just told. If it was the case the number of infections and re-infections would be lower. If we want to use science why not use the study that is proving those that are in regular contact with Covid sufferers are less likely to catch covid and are less likely to pass covid on ( such as those that work on covid wards ) | |||

Needlessly is only the correct word if you have an unhealthy obsession with giving everyone the vaccine and consider those who haven't had the vaccine as superspreaders. An unvaccinated nurse who doesn't have Covid has 0% chance of transmitting Covid to their patients. A vaccinated nurse who doesn't have Covid has 0% chance of transmitting Covid to their patients. An unvaccinated nurse who tests positive for Covid isolates at home to prevent transmitting Covid to their patients and colleagues. A vaccinated nurse who tests positive for Covid isolates at home to prevent transmitting Covid to their patients and colleagues. Same risk for vaccinated/unvaccinated. | |||

This threat would surely make more staff get vaccinated. When caring for your relative the vaccine status of the NHS workers should be irrelevant. What matters is current clear tests. A vaccinated person is far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms and therefore not know they are “ill” whereas an unvaccinated person is far more likely to develop symptoms and therefore know they are ill! I suspect anyone working in the NHS is hyper aware of what to look out for and their duty of care to others! This is not, actually, true but it is often repeated. Someone vaccinated is not "far more likely to be carrying covid with no symptoms". The data actually indicates that they are less likely to be hospitalised and are less likely to pass it on. Again, I will view the scientific advice to be more reliable than that of someone proposing their own theory using "common sense" because this situation is not at all "common". If there is some actual evidence then it should be considered. Is there any? For the OP point on withholding treatment, or charging people for manslaughter, then no. However, I can understand the depth of feeling by those who may needlessly lose loved ones. 'Needlessly' is the correct word. Choosing to risk your own health is one thing, but risking that of others is less tolerable. However, there is no way to fairly differentiate. Needlessly is only the correct word if you have an unhealthy obsession with giving everyone the vaccine and consider those who haven't had the vaccine as superspreaders. An unvaccinated nurse who doesn't have Covid has 0% chance of transmitting Covid to their patients. A vaccinated nurse who doesn't have Covid has 0% chance of transmitting Covid to their patients. An unvaccinated nurse who tests positive for Covid isolates at home to prevent transmitting Covid to their patients and colleagues. A vaccinated nurse who tests positive for Covid isolates at home to prevent transmitting Covid to their patients and colleagues. Same risk for vaccinated/unvaccinated." Pushing water uphill I'm afraid. That kind of common sense won't go down well. I think someone above also made a great point about the flawed thinking that anyone vaxxed by definition will spread it less... Regardless of circumstances or behaviours. When Susan Hopkins herself stated after a few months it makes very little difference to spreading infections and was using that fact to encourage people to get a booster. Choose your science wisely. | |||

"Should we just celebrate the fact that 95% of the NHS workers have been vaccinated? " Steady on, you will be asking people to be kind to each other next! Weirdo  | |||

I'm not sure you are seeing the big picture my friend, this type of reasoning does not sell news. Turn off your internet and take time out to reconsider your position | |||

"If you are off longer as you chose not to get vaccinated should you get paid for all the time off sick." Yes 100% If not then don't get sick lay if you have obesity related illness Smoking related illnesses Etc.etc. | |||

"Would you like to see smokers with lung cancer get no sick pay while they are off work getting treatment? How about someone who falls over pissed and injures themselves should they get sick pay? How about people who are so fat they cant move should they not get sickness benefit Any of the above should maybe get a reduced payment if any at all, certainly injury from being pi$$ed should not get paid sick pay. IMHO" This is an absolutely terrifying view of the world. Honestly the control you think is acceptable over people is just awful | |||
