CV and mad panic behaviour

[PaulP]

I was fine with it, until I saw how the mandates were applied to people.

It was very much get vaccinated or else.

They lost me and many others in some circumstances that you just had to witness to believe.  Imagine staring at a 20 year nurse 6 months pregnant offering to start maternity leave early and only return to work fully vaccinated and instead tear up her employment contract.

Needless to say, she won't be back.  Nurse educator in cardiology and ICU lost to the system for a vaccine that provides very limited personal protection vs a high risk pregnancy given her age.  I know which I'd choose, because sometimes you have to play the percentages.

No doubt one man's circumspect, cautious approach is another man's hysterical overreaction. I get that. You will always have fallout, exceptions to the norm and hard luck stories in situations like this. It's unavoidable. If you want to roll the dice, you take whatever fate has in store for you. You can look at Sweden for example, and their more relaxed approach was certainly not without some measure of success - but as always, both God and the Devil reside in the detail :

You can look at another country that took a similar approach, the US, and it's a very different story.
