Pixie With covid, that doesn't apply... it only benefits the person who has had it.//
That is total rubbish. A non-vaccinated person could go home, catch covid from their kids and bring it into the care hom

My mother went into a care home for respite care with minor breathing and mobility problems, and within a month had contracted and died from Covid. (negative test when admitted, weekly tests thereafter until positive one). If she had caught it from an unvaccinated carer, then the home would be in dire sheet, I can tell you that now.

"Adults who have been fully vaccinated against
SARS-CoV-2 can carry the same viral load of the delta
variant as those who are unvaccinated, a preliminary
analysis of UK data suggests."

Also, apg, that's why I advocate testing, more than vaccines. Certainly our local ones, have done lateral tests on every carer before a shift. Which if positive, means that worker is sent home,and needs to do the NHS test. That's the only reason we realised my daughter had got it.
Being negative, is much more important, than vaccine status.

What exactly is an Anti Vaxxer?
Often it seems to be used as a derogatory term for those that dont want or need a vaccine which is totally wrong since they are not against the vaccine just they dont feel they need it. And if they are young they dont.
Having the vaccine does NOT stop you passing it on, hence this rule is nonsense.
One of my daughters works in a care home, many thanks to the ABer who inferred she is thick. I can tell you something she has more sense in her little finger than you possess.
And no she is not vaccinated, she is pregnant. Anyone out there who thinks a pregnant woman should be forced to have a vaccine? And on top of this she had covid during her first pregnancy. Mother and Baby are fine. But why does she need a vaccine, according to latest reports that is better than a vaccine?

pixie I think you are getting things conflated here. All my adult life I have been a proponent of bodily agency and personal choice including making it possible for alcoholics to have their alcohol purchased for them by carers, ditto food choices made by diabetics in the face of the staff and relatives who were relieved that the diabetes could now be better controlled because the choice to live on chocolate and cake was being removed from the person. BUT we all know that choices have consequences...the alcoholic and the diabetic did.
Being a proponent of choice doesn't mean choice at all costs.
Secondly being vaccinated does help to stop the spread of covid https:/ /www.it v.com/n ews/202 1-04-23 /covid- one-vac cine-do se-can- reduce- spread- of-coro navirus -by-65- and-why -this-i s-massi vely-im portant .
I really am amazed that people in a care setting would not want to to their best for the people they care for.

Woof, I think you are conflating things. Diabetes and so on, is about the person themselves, and even they, aren't and shouldn't be coerced to do something against their will.
My daughter was 4/5 months pregnant when she got covid in December- and had been advised, not to be jabbed while pregnant. Things change... and she has had it since she had the baby.
But, we are also looking at boosters, for some people as well, soon. Anyone who has had 2 vaccinations this year... and it has been ineffective enough to need a third... doesn't show great confidence in it.
Ultimately, each to their own.

Literally millions of people have been vaccinated and how many of those have died because of the vaccine? Directly from the vaccine? A handful if that. Other reported deaths shortly after being given the vaccine (around 1000) have been proved to be inevitable deaths of compromised patients over the age of 90 who would probably have died within the same time frame had they not been given the vaccine.
