Similar situation in British Columbia, Canada. Despite the health care system being overwhelmed and unable to respond effectively, the Public Health Office and Minister of Health refuse to even consider bringing back unjabbed workers. They are working instead to bring in more immigrants who will do as they are told.

How do you force in a gov't medical system which will control who lives and who dies based on their politics? You collapse the old medical system, and you do that by killing off or disabling as many healthcare workers as you can.

What happens when they cannot hire skilled people? They hire unskilled people. In the past 2 years I've encountered 2 medical assistants who couldn't pronounce medications. And the computer had a pronunciation guide! And at work we've been using more expensive temps because we cannot find any unskilled people who will work for less than $18/hour. The odd thing is, while travelling in 2020, we found fast food restaurants advertising for jobs at $16-18/hour. To cover those wages the owner would have to raise prices which is unsustainable in the small towns the restaurants were in.

In the US we have a shortage of urologists. It can take 4-5 months to get an appointment.

And I cannot get an appointment with my regular doctor for 2-3 weeks, so I normally go to urgent care the most.

The mandates & coercements to have Covid-19 jabs were always unjustified, especially for those who had already caught and recovered from Covid. Nobody should have been sacked for declining vaccines not proven effective or safe.

Looks good, but I'm afraid the goal isn't to keep the elderly alive or to increase employment. Even here in the US, the Republicans don't oppose mandates. Only Florida shows some promise.

Great letter. Thank you for posting. I signed - but found it a challenge to find the link. A request. Could you edit, to make the "here" somehow more prominent - maybe by capitalizing the letters. HERE. Or making TOGETHER link to the letter. I almost gave up.

Being an American I wished for and worked for a failure of our attempt at socialism health care.

Seems as the English people should consider the same.

The vaccinated have moved on; they don't see any 'problems' and can't see any reason to apologize

In Canada, the majority is so sheeplike it's stunning and depressing

Liberty is the last thing on their minds...and they will always do as told

So why do you think they will correct this hard 'earned' crises, something they have been working on for such a long time.....?

Are you a vaccinazi?

If you threaten a person’s livelihood because of their vaccine views, you are a vaccinazi.

If you censor a person’s speech because of their vaccine views, you are a vaccinazi.

If you coerce a person to get vaccinated, you are a vaccinazi.

If you restrict a person’s activities because of their vaccine status, you are a vaccinazi.

If you impede the open study and free discussion of vaccines, you are a vaccinazi.
