Ambulance Paramedics Fight Back! By Brian Simpson
This has the system worried; Victorian ambulance paramedics are declining the Covid-19 jab. Now it is expected that crazy old Right Wing fringe dwelling billy goats like yours truly might do that sort of thing, but this strata of society is sophisticated, with medical training, widely defined. So, what do they know that I don’t? Please explain the explanation, please!
“Hundreds of Victorian ambulance paramedics have declined to be vaccinated for COVID-19, reinforcing calls for mandatory vaccination of all frontline healthcare workers in the state.
Key points:
- About 84 per cent of Victoria's paramedics have received at least one dose of vaccine
- Ambulance Victoria says it is confident the number of vaccinated paramedics will continue to rise
- The Ambulance Union opposes mandatory vaccination
Internal Ambulance Victoria figures obtained by the ABC show that 256 "on-road clinical staff" from Ambulance Victoria have declined to be vaccinated, 4.6 per cent of the total number of paramedics.
The Australian Medical Association has called for compulsory vaccination of all frontline medical staff, and its president told the ABC those who did not wish to be vaccinated should consider leaving their profession.
However, the ambulance union has cautioned against reading too much into the figures and argued against mandatory vaccination of paramedics.
The revelation also came as the ambulance union complained that paramedics were being sent to the homes of COVID-19 patients without being warned they were entering an exposure site.
The internal Ambulance Victoria figures show that the highest rates of vaccine refusal among paramedics were in the Gippsland and Grampians regions, with 7.9 per cent and 7.5 per cent of paramedics respectively in those areas declining to be vaccinated.
The lowest rates of refusal among paramedics were in the "complex care" and metro areas, with 1.8 per cent and 3.2 per cent of ambulance workers in those categories declining vaccination.
Some 84 per cent of the state's paramedics, or 4,637 people, have received at least one dose of the vaccine, with 68.4 per cent receiving two doses.
The figure for all Ambulance Victoria workers was 4.3 per cent, or 292 employees, declining to be vaccinated.
Of all Ambulance Victoria staff, 67 per cent or 4,531 people have received two doses of the vaccine.
The Australian Medical Association has called for mandatory vaccination for all frontline healthcare workers, including paramedics.
AMA President Omar Khorshid said the rates of vaccine failure among Victorian paramedics might not indicate outright refusal, but they did point to the importance of mandatory vaccination.
"You've got to remember there's a difference between refusing to be vaccinated and not being vaccinated. There's a lot of people for whom it hasn't been convenient, they haven't had access to a vaccine or they're just a little hesitant," Dr Khorshid said.
"So mandating vaccination for all healthcare workers will actually give that push to many healthcare workers including, hopefully, some of these 256 paramedics, to help get them over the line and help get them to do the right thing by their community.
"Paramedics are at the very front line of our healthcare system and it's critical that they are protected so that they're not going to contract this very serious disease in their workplace.
"And of course even more importantly, that paramedics don't give the virus to any of their patients."
Dr Khorshid acknowledged that it seemed counterintuitive for frontline healthcare workers like paramedics to decline vaccination, and suggested that if they were anti-vaxxers or sceptics, they should find employment elsewhere.
"It is very hard to understand for the average person in the community why any healthcare worker wouldn't be vaccinated," he said.
"We've got the best information available to us and the best access to the vaccines as well, but at the end of the day people do have differing views, and if there are some people who absolutely will not be vaccinated, they need to review their place in the healthcare workforce of the future given that we're going to be living with this COVID-19 virus and potentially other variants of it for the foreseeable future."
Perhaps they are revolting against the coming dystopic future of never ending booster shots, while in continuous lockdown.
“In Australia, now home to the most outrageous medical dictatorship on the planet, Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews seems to have declared that unvaccinated people will be denied access to hospitals, doctors and health care services altogether. In his view, those who don’t take the vaccine should be cut off from civilization and denied everything, including groceries, health care services and presumably all forms of transportation.
In the USA, bioweapons mastermind Anthony Fauci is also pushing the idea of endless booster shots, perhaps requiring shots every five or six months.
Those world citizens who were gullible enough to go along with the initial requirement of taking two shots to be “fully vaccinated” are now finding themselves caught in a vaccine trap from which there is no escape. With each booster shot weakening their immune response, the consequences of obedience increasingly look like suicide. And the most obedient vaccine takers are setting themselves up for a high risk of death from future variants or outbreaks… which seems to be the whole point in all this.
Unless the people of the world peacefully rise up and reject the authoritarian nonsense, they will be subjected to a never-ending medical police state under the guise of a plandemic that perpetuates itself as fully-vaccinated individuals produce and shed highly infectious viral variants that keep killing people. As you might suspect, all blame will be placed on the unvaccinated, who are the scapegoats for this global depopulation biological weapons deployment.”
The medico-police fascist state is up and running right now. I guess it was in the wings waiting for Trump to be knocked over, before it was rolled in.
