Not allowed to do my sales job until fully vaccinated

[VioletUltraViolet]

I delayed getting my vaccination due to a genuine fear of vaccines and having already gotten Covid antibodies from having the virus. I have decided to get the vaccine now because I just want this crap over and done with and I accept my role in getting society back to a level of normality.

I am booked for my first dose today at 14:30 and second dose is booked for 9th feb 2022.

I am an estate agent. My work sent a group message to say that any unvaccinated staff can not conduct any face to face appointments until they are fully vaccinated. This means no opportunity to earn commission by listing properties or selling houses, so my salary will essentially drop from roughly 43k to 24k. This is because I earn so much from doing the appointments and 24k is my basic. I have a daughter to support and I know everyone is going to say it’s my fault for delaying my vaccination but I just can’t believe this forced vaccination is spilling out in to non medical non clinical work.

For context, I booked my vaccine last week before I knew about the work changes.

What’re people’s thoughts on this kind of approach? My vaccinated colleagues are shocked by this too.

All this rejection of basic information, maths and science in favour of opinion with very shaky foundations is appalling.

• Can you assure that the vaccine will not harm me?
• Believe (!) in science. Don't be selfish.

Oh well...

@CatsArePeople I can’t quite figure out what you’re trying to say but it doesn’t matter any way does it? You’ve clearly got your mantra and are happy with it.

I can’t be arsed.

I honestly cannot get my head around why you're surprised. If you rely on the commission maybe you should have had the vaccine to protect others just like the vast majority.

How very, very strange. I got deleted for pointing out that a poster claiming to be fully vaccinated on this thread has said that she is completely unvaccinated on another thread posted only a few days ago. I wonder what was the justification for deleting that?

Onlyafleshwound I saw that and I don't understand why. What is going on?

Thank you @bohemiajean for confirming that!

There was nothing in my post that came anywhere near breaking mumsnet talk guidelines, as far as I can see?

I think it's quite important to know if people are spreading deliberate misinformation

I did ask the Op upthread where she worked as it was obviously not in a Uk estate agency, from the information she was giving. But she didn’t reply.

So I’ll ask again OP, what country do you live in? You are confusing posters by asking for advice but not making it clear that you don’t work in the UK.

Legal and vaccine advice is different in every country .

she did say it was the uk-op have you managed to move up your second does yet

@Double3xposure It's a different poster, not the OP, who claimed here to be fully vaccinated (although spreading anti-vaxx misinformation) and on another thread last week said they were not vaxxed at all.

However, I sought clarification from MNHQ who told me that pointing out inconsistencies like this in a poster's history is considered troll-hunting, which is why it was deleted.

Yes, if you contact mnhq with the evidence of inconsistencies they can look into it.

Yes she answered.

I don’t want to name the employer, but they are large company with over 100 offices in the uk

She also talks about contacting ACAS and paying £900 a month in nursery fees.

@endingintiers

I'm a big supporter of vaccines - volunteered at vaccine centres - but still believe this is morally and legally dubious.

Surely a COVID pass would be fine i.e. you test daily with LFT tests and report the result? To be honest, even being triple jabbed myself I could still pass on the virus. The vaccine is there to reduce significantly the risk of serious hospitalisation and death.

Don't muddle the waters with actual common sense facts!
