@ince_christine @JaneSlavin I only have half of your experience, all in critical care, and I feel the same as you.

@missjessica09 How they have time or energy to do it is beyond me!

Are you even a nurse or a doctor if you haven’t written a book about being a nurse or a doctor?

Hi @NadineDorries yesterday the shows below were closed due to Covid outbreaks. You tweeted about a hedgehog sanctuary and Strictly. Looking forward to your comments today & offer of support. Because.. it’s your job.

Not getting covid before Christmas is 2021’s version of not getting whammed.

Meet Razwan, nurse from Romania, @Sofiia.abdelani, doctor from Ukraine, Pablo ITU consultant from Spain. They help care for 14 patients on Covid ITU ⁦@NHSBartsHealth⁩ ⁦@RoyalLondonHosp⁩ today. All bar one unvaccinated, the other had received only one dose. We wish…

@irresponsabelle This is amazing because I’m watching it now and was watching her thinking I want to see you on here! Who do I call to make that happen? I have no sway over this at all, you should know that before answering.

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@irresponsabelle Yes. Do this. Hamilton as a one woman show. That I would definitely pay to watch via zoom.

@Broggybroggs The 4 doses is only for the extremely vulnerable or immunocompromised

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 I think one of the reasons covid would be mandatory over flu is because of the high transmissibility of covid compared to flu. And back when the debate about mandate started there were over 100k who had refused the vaccine, so that number has come down already 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 @GBNEWS It offers you a higher level of protection against it than not having it, same as the flu jab, and obviously the higher the protection the higher chance of you not getting it and passing it on. I don’t actually know the TB efficacy, or any of the others I have to have tbh!

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 Increase your nursing numbers. There are more people who will leave due to retirement or because covid has destroyed them than are refusing the vaccine.

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 @GBNEWS That up. But I imagine there are some who would rather leave than have it. To be totally honest Liam, it’s been on its knees for years and somehow they continue to tread water. Those who leave will be replaced with newly qualified nurses, so you’ll just replenish rather than…

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 @GBNEWS Ah damaging to the health sector. To be honest with you, I would be surprised to see every person who is refusing (not unable) to have the vaccine leave the NHS. It’s a secure job with a good pension. I’m not sure every person who is refusing it feels strongly enough to give…

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 @GBNEWS So the flu jab hasn’t been mandatory before. I don’t know if they plan to make it mandatory from now on. The immunisations make it less likely you contract the disease so therefore less likely to pass it on. Let me go back and read your other q…

@druss999 @GBNEWS They are 2 way - to protect us and to protect our patients. We had an outbreak of TB in Bristol about 20 years ago and many staff were exposed to it. Had they not been vaccinated they probably would have caught it.

[Becky Gorf @beckstergorf]

@druss999 @GBNEWS I already have a list of vaccinations I have to have in order to work as a registered nurse. When I’m offered a job it’s pending references and proof of immunisations.
