... a family member who refused vaccination, then went on a pub crawl last Saturday, caught COVID and most likely Omicron after banging on for weeks how the new 'cold' won't affect him much

He is now very ill..

The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. Anyway, thats not happening now as taken a turn for the worst since.

His wife, a severe asthma sufferer has continued to share a bed with him, neither have worn masks in the presence of each other, windows have remained shut, then refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive.

What do you say to them?

I am struggling to find sympathy and is this the 'common sense' Boris wanted from the public in respect to his employer?

You say ’im sorry you're I'll and not doing too well. Is there anything I can do to help? Do you need me to get anything for you? Medication etc? I hope you start to feel better soon'.

Anything negative or gloating is just dickish behaviour in my opinion.

I have a family member terminally ill with lung cancer after almost a lifetime of smoking rollups. She also beat cervical cancer in her 30's but carried on smoking until half of one lung got removed. She vapes now.

Guess what I say to her everyday?

Very black n white..

They've had all the get well soon wishes, offers of support you'd expect.. not that heartless.

But, wouldn't be as ill as he is now if vaccinated. He didn't refuse for conspiracy reasons, he is medically fine to have had it but said he'll let others make the heard.

Don't know why people assume Covid has gone, it's very much still with us. So, to go out on a pub crawl, it was a certain he find exposure.

Extreme headaches, uncontrollable shivers and struggling with breathing. Certainly not the cold people say it will be.

Employers want you in work, it's no longer legal requirement, so why aren't you in. He's blocked bosses number, 3 calls a day demanding he goes in.

Where does he work?

If his boss is demanding he goes into work when sick, he probably caught it at work and just spread it round the pub crawl.

I'd encourage him to get medical attention, as there are good treatments available. People have to learn in their own way and he may rethink his decisions on the virus and vaccines but will have to do this via reflection.

Reply privately, Reply in forum +quote or View forums list

 

By (user no longer on site)  over a year ago

Fact of the matter is it's almost irrelevant as to where he caught it. Pubs are open, most without any restrictions, there's no legal requirement to isolate if positive anymore so that's by the by.

As for his wife, being asthmatic would have put her at the front of the queue when vaccines were given out so she's had ample opportunity to protect herself and by your own admission she shouldn't get it as bad.

Would you be asking the same question if it was a smoker who had developed lung cancer? Or someone morbidly obese had a heart attack? Or someone who had sex without a condom got HIV?

Wish him well, offer help if they need it and treat them like you would for any other illness or disease, your words and actions will say more about you than you realise.

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk "

How does it put sensible employees at more risk?

Us vaccinated people have more protection than the unvaccinated. It doesn’t stop us from catching but it does reduce the likelihood of serious symptoms (until efficacy wanes).

It also doesn’t stop us from transmitting (although there is a school of thought that the vaccinated are infectious for less time - if someone can point me to that research would be grateful).

In addition because the vaccine reduces symptoms, it is possible for us to be infectious without knowing it and attending work.

So in actual fact your unvaccinated co-worker is more at risk from you then you from them!

Respect their choice not to get vaccinated. They are adults and made that decision. I’m double vaccinated and still ended up with covid at Christmas.

They're still people, they haven't developed super powers that make them abnormal. By definition normal means the expected and when it comes to vaccination status you shouldn't expect to know if someone is or isn't regardless as to the ratio of vaccinated to unvaccinated.

I understand your concern and applaud you for being careful and taking precautions. But it is concerning that you think unvaccinated people are more dangerous to you than vaccinated. I think that gives a false sense of security around the vaccinated.

The unvaccinated are more likely to know they are ill and sooner and take precautions. Vaccinated people have less severe symptoms and may not even know they are contagious and thus take no precautions.

Exactly this. Tetanus is infectious but not contagious. They won't have asked the vaccination status of that to protect other employees, only to make sure the person being interviewed is themselves protected.

Is it not also true that it matters when the vaccine was given? I mean some are now over 12 months old.... And yet Dr Susan hopkins of the UKHSA was telling us only 4 months ago that we must all get boosted as any vaccine older than 3 months was not effective against omicron.

So it's all well and good saying someone is jabbed but if it's a long time ago, it makes little difference. Equally what about those who have had covid? Do they not have any natural immunity. The notion that anyone unvaccinated is.... More or less dangerous to someone else is clumsy thinking at best. That's not to say that vaccines generally reduce your chances of getting seriously ill if they are up to date.

he chooses to be at higher risk by not being vaccinated not my problem if he gets ill. my employer is at fault not asking the right questions at interview

What other medical in confidence questions do they ask at interview at your place of work?

they ask about lung health & tetanus vaccination sometimes as there is risk from working with waste

But not about vaccination for any other communicable diseases?

Exactly this. Tetanus is infectious but not contagious. They won't have asked the vaccination status of that to protect other employees, only to make sure the person being interviewed is themselves protected.

no they do not care about the heath & safety of employees just profit & having paper work so they are not liable

Sounds like you need a new job my friend. "

Get well soon. Or….. you’re unlucky, because for most it is a cold. I had a sore throat for 5 mins with it! I’ve friends got sicker off the jab….. then got it anyway and were sicker again!

My stepmom who is in her 50s only got her second jab in December, within a week her previously mild arthritis flared up to the point where she is now legally disabled.

2+ years without catching covid pre jab she also just tested positive 11 days ago and was extremely poorly with it.

Only barely coming out of it now.

She also infected my 18 year old brother and sister who both are also double jabbed and are extremely poorly with it right now.

I have not had the jab at all and had covid in August (before omicron) while I had cancer (still have cancer but its irrelevant) - mild cold symptoms, mild temperature, slight tiredness and taste and smell gone for about a week.

Dirk is not jabbed - same symptoms.

Go figure

I don't get your point op. I wouldn't feel the need to say anything other than to offer my support and help if they needed it.

Employers have rules they need to follow. Sounds like it isn't life threatening. Covid really isn't life threatening to most people... vaccinated or not. And yes I'm basing that in actual statistics where still most (a large majority) don't end up in hospital and make a full recovery. And that really does include unvaccinated. I'm one of many that has had it. Twice. The only villain in the piece is the employer. I'd get a new job if I had phoned in sick (for whatever reason) and my boss kept hounding me. Who puts up with that shit? They aren't allowed to do that.

So you're actually saying if someone doesn't have the vaccine, they're idiots?

Don't get me wrong, I've had the vaccine but I still believe in free choice. I chose to have the vaccine as many people did but just because someone decided not to have the vaccine, that makes it their choice

Nobody is in a position to say someone else is not sensible or is an idiot as regards the vaccine. It's called free choice.

If it was a close family member, left bereaved by a partner who didn't take the vaccine, I'd think it reasonable for them to call said partner an idiot.

And perhaps someone who's done years of medical research in this field and knows their stuff would have a meaningful right to call said deceased an idiot.

As you obviously have decades if not centuries of experience, do tell me how any are idiots.

Now, and obviously I bow to your superior knowledge and also to those who are actually qualified and professional butby having the vaccine, does that make family members, vulnerable or not, immune from getting the virus?

Now, far be it from me to know anything but I thought the vaccine was for the individual taking it not for someone else.

So, the vaccine doesn't stop you getting the virus and also doesn't stop you passing it on, correct? So, irrespective whether a person has the vaccine or not, it doesn't actually protect other people only the person having it. Therefore, why would it matter whether a close family member has it or not. It's their choice. That's free will.

By all means, and as I do said, i bow down to your vast experience (notwithstanding that my close relative is a virologist and immunologist and has 47 years in that field) and he won't have it, so tell me and the baying public, how by having the vaccine can stop the possible demise of a close relative by having the vaccine.

The vaccine, as in any vaccine or medication, will help the person not others . Like having a headache, it's your choice to take pain killers or not.

I'm really starting to question if you're trolling everyone here deliberately as multiple people have explained in detail about how anyone else's vaccine status doesn't affect your health or risk with credible sources proving their logic, but you keep insisting it does.

Genuinely feel sorry for your Co worker as he's the one who has to put up with it day in day out.

That said - your boss is the one who's the real asshole. Not because he didn't ask for vaccine status. Because he's pushing people who are unwell to come into work.

They've had all the get well soon wishes, offers of support you'd expect.. not that heartless.

But, wouldn't be as ill as he is now if vaccinated. He didn't refuse for conspiracy reasons, he is medically fine to have had it but said he'll let others make the heard.

Don't know why people assume Covid has gone, it's very much still with us. So, to go out on a pub crawl, it was a certain he find exposure.

Extreme headaches, uncontrollable shivers and struggling with breathing. Certainly not the cold people say it will be.

Employers want you in work, it's no longer legal requirement, so why aren't you in. He's blocked bosses number, 3 calls a day demanding he goes in."

He is now very ill..

The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. Anyway, thats not happening now as taken a turn for the worst since.

His wife, a severe asthma sufferer has continued to share a bed with him, neither have worn masks in the presence of each other, windows have remained shut, then refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive.

What do you say to them?

Hey guys

How do I convey a sense of smugness in a 'I told you so' way, whilst maintaining my 'I'm a caring sort of person' facade that I've been carrying around proudly since getting vaccinated like the hero I am

A clear sign of passive aggressive behaviour.

Same way I did..

"You're a tosser, you've put your own and your wife's lives at risk as well as worrying your mother, who you also put at risk as she was at yours the day before you tested positive".

The response was strangely quiet.

Nothing smug, just the truth.

If you said that to me (if I was unvaccinated) would be:

“it’s my choice to decide what level of risk I am prepared to take with my own health/life but can you explain how I have put my wife or mother at risk by me not being vaccinated?”

I'm a little more brash than you..

Very diplomatic - with me a spades a spade..

Don't have an issue with his refusing to vaccinate but I do have a problem with walking into a pub regardless of status, then going home to family with virus transported with him.

TBH - He gets called tosser quite a lot, caught drink driving being another time.

Could he not get covid by being vaccinated? He can still contract covid and still pass it on regardless of his vaccination status

It’s still their choice imo.. if you’ve had the vaccine you’re less affected and less likely to catch it. It’s something we all have to live with now.

"" I hope you will get well soon "

Much appreciated but I'm fine thanks- have kept away..

I am struggling to find sympathy and is this the 'common sense' Boris wanted from the public in respect to his employer?"

He wasn't meaning you.

You clearly are selfish and just wanting to get on your high horse about it.

He's meaning, that is what you say to your friend.

Maybe he's better off without such a judgemental person as a friend ?

P.s. I am fully vaccinated, so not an anti vac nut job, but I do respect other people's decisions. I also understand why people would be wary about taking it.

I know two people who have both had the vaccine twice and boosters, and now both have COVID for the second time, they can still transmit it to others who are vaccinated or unvaccinated, just unlucky I guess if they had a 4th vaccine injection they might have more protection

I never said being unvaccinated put anyone else at risk, it was going on a 6 location pub crawl - pissed up and man hugging every other d*unk would have.

Absolutely, he has put himself at risk of a bad outcome. Long story short, if he'd stayed home that Saturday night. No of them would have caught it.

The Times today had a story about a the Captain in the US Navy.

US warship stuck in dock with commander who can’t be fired.

A US guided-missile destroyer has been prevented from going on a mission because of a court battle over its commanding officer, who has refused to have a vaccination against coronavirus.

In a legal impasse described by Pentagon officials in court evidence as a “manifest national security concern”, the US navy has been told by a federal judge that it cannot sack the commanding officer, who has served for nearly 18 years.

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk "

That's a bit nonsensical for so many reasons.

Firstly. The vaccine is no guarantee of contagion.

Secondly. The vaccine lasts approximately 5 to 6 months at best. So you'd have to get them every 6 months forever to be covered (even though they don't cover you).

Thirdly. You put yourself at risk for many things the minute you leave your house. Instead of living in existential dread, try living. You might enjoy yourself.

I can't believe I have to explain this to a grown adult, ok here goes.

Vaccines do not for the most part last a life time. Just a small example. Why do you think flu Vaccines are given yearly? Not just because of different strains but because over time they become less effective. The latest study from new York suggests that the vaccine drops from around %95 effectiveness to just under %70 in 6 months.

This is a well established fact. Why do you think boosters are a thing? Do you think you need a booster every 6 months if it doesn't wear off?

It's very simple logic.

I'm not going to state where I get my information as I'd like tonretain my privacy. However what I will say is my other half is involved with the vaccine and patient systems in place. They have access to this information. It's common knowledge. I said at the start that the vaccine isn't a guarantee of safety. Everyone said I was a conspiracy theorist. A year later while doing audits it was discovered %80 of admitted covid cases were vaccinated. A lot of them within 6 months.

Just to add though, I thought the need for boosters was two fold:

1) A reduction in vaccine efficacy over time.

2) That Covid is a virus and viruses mutate and the vaccines need to be adjusted to be more effective against a new variant(s).

Point 2 is certainly the case with the Flu vaccines.

"I’d say “I hope you feel better soon” This ."

Exactly.

Be humble. Hope they feel better soon.

"I have no sympathy I work with someone who is not vaccinated & I dont think my employer should have employed him knowing he is not vaccinated, it puts sensible employees at more risk

Ah so people who can't have the vaccine aren't sensible?

there is no reason he cant have the vaccine he is just an idiot "

But what about his personal free choice you reall fancy being told what you can do or not do thumbs up to him

I am vaccinated before you think otherwise…

But please can you explain your rational about “it puts sensible employees at more risk”

We know the vaccine doesn’t stop you contracting the virus, it doesn’t stop transmission and we are now lead to believe that 3 doses of the vaccine do not give you long term cover of a less severe reaction.

So please explain your rational as I’m interested to understand what you are thinking.

Is this one still going!!

Anyway.. Outcome.

Wife, extreme headaches, bad cough and very rough for a few days..

Hubby, extremely bad symptoms, bad coughing fits, tremors, shivers, headaches, loss of taste and smell.

Both regret pub crawl as most of the group that went out have had it.

Whether vaccine made a difference or not, I don't really give two hoots, his choice not to have it and sod all to do with me and we'll never know if the outcome would be differen.

But...

I think the only thing I would say is if you didn't believe its real then you probably do now. So if you make it through this go and get vaccinated for yourself, your partner and everyone else's sake.

The vaccination doesn't stop you getting it or passing it on. It just stops yourself getting it as bad. I was hospitalised by it Jan last year, vaccinated and boosted but I think enough is enough. No way can they get a booster released that quick to fend off each new variant. I'll wear a mask if needed, but that's it.

"... a family member who refused vaccination, then went on a pub crawl last Saturday, caught COVID and most likely Omicron after banging on for weeks how the new 'cold' won't affect him much

He is now very ill..

The first 4 days, his employer was phoning and insisting he returned to work. Anyway, thats not happening now as taken a turn for the worst since.

His wife, a severe asthma sufferer has continued to share a bed with him, neither have worn masks in the presence of each other, windows have remained shut, then refused to test as she'd have to stay off work - today tested positive.

What do you say to them?"

If they have refused the vaccination, its there choice, but to go out knowing you could spread it to other people is extremely selfish and on top of all that sleeps with his wife knowing he has it etc, he deserves all he gets in my opinion. There are not only vulnerable people out there but also the NHS who have worked tirelessly through the pandemic in order to keep people safe and your family member couldn't give a fuck. Yes we have lives to live but I'm not in the slightest sympathetic for him. In actual fact I hope it teaches him a lesson in future

What absolute garbage. The vaccinated are the ones suffering. How on earth can a unvaccinated person put a vaccinated person at risk? If the vaccine dosnt stop you catching or spreading why take it? Further more if 2 shots dont work how the hell will 4.

I think we've gone past the point of unvaccinated being responsible for passing it on to others. But , it's proven that with a recent shot, you have less chance of being seriously ill if catching it. So thats the point. If you don't believe that part then so be it

Why shouldn't someone who isn't vaccinated be employed??

You do know that the vaccine doesn't stop you from getting or carrying covid, it just makes the individuals symptoms milder "supposedly" so what you're saying doesn't make any sense.

I'm triple vaccinated myself, but to be honest I wished I hadn't bothered. At the end of the day it's the individuals choice.

Nothing. You say nothing to them. It was their choice not to have the vaccination and now they have it, there’s no point in rubbing salt into the wound and they won’t care anyway. My sister refused to have the vaccine and caught Covid, her response? “Well I don’t need the vaccine now as my body will have its own antibodies to the virus” she really doesn’t get the point of it at all

Read the first article. 2.8x as many unvaccinated people are dying than vaccinated "per case".

I doesn't sound like you have any faith in the "vaccine" you took. How does an unvacinated person put you at risk. You should be protected by logic they are the ones that should be "at risk"
