Thought this was an interesting one. No vax no degree basically.
not true. being vaccinated reduces your chance of passing it on.

Yep, lots of required vaccines.
the BCG vaccine is a requirement to work in the HSE, not just for frontline staff.
healthcare students rejecting basic healthcare provisions is utterly bizarre. it's like stating 'we don't believe in sound medical practice'.
Out of interest, pre covid times, were people told before they begin these types of courses that they must have xyz jabs done before they start the course and progress in their careers does anyone know?
Thank fúck those cranks wont get the degree.
Best for everyone.
You realise in healthcare, you're already required to have multiple vaccines? Should they be allowed to refuse all of them?
Also that GoFundMe is pure grifting.
Do you think the vaccine stops you catching the virus?
Do you think vulnerable people are much more likely of dying from the virus?
The people they would be caring for are most likely vaccinated, hence there should be no problem.
The case for vaccination - and, really, I shouldn't have to explain this - doesn't require that vaccinated people should be unable to catch and spread the virus; just that they should do so at lower rates than unvaccinated people.
Hope they win their case!
This is not about being pro / anti vax anymore.
Certain people in society and government are enjoying this power and control they have over other people's lives (and in this case careers). It's getting completely out of hand at this point. Bullying would not be too strong a term tbh.
Unless there is a push back from more people against this authoritarianism, then we are heading down a slippery slope in society. And we could be stuck like this for many years to come.
Yeah sure, because vaccinated people can't catch the virus and spread it, makes perfect sense.
Yeah. Why should aspiring healthcare professionals be expected to give a damn about the possibly vulnerable patients to whom they might transmit an infectious disease?
2 young healthy women decide not to get the vaccine ? how terrible of them, stone them to death!!
The comments on the gofundme page 🤦♂️. God help these melodramatic loons.
The absolute irony -
We are counting on the support of the public to make this possible and to allow us to continue our training as essential healthcare workers.
Be part of a movement!
As for being part of a movement, hopefully it’s in the direction of fcuking off and not playing silly beggars to put the public at risk from their own stupid behaviour.
Moved from Current Affairs
Crying GDPR when they have put their picture on the go fund page? Mandatory vaccines for going abroad too. Bet they wouldn't refuse to take them. There are side effects to all medications.
An average donation of €33.
You'd get a few nights in Marrakesh for that.
Well done, Trinity College.
A total and utter waste of judicial time.
Hepatitis B vaccination is a requirement too for years. I bet they had those shots.
One of the core ethical duties of any healthcare practitioner is to keep themselves healthy both mentally and physically.
Getting ICU ill from an illness that has a vaccine, putting more pressure on the system due to your healthcare needs, and not being available for work, would be frowned upon.
Also there is no fundamental human right to pursue one particular course of study. don't see any court enforcing their demands.
such hyperbole in their pitch too.. crying discrimination and GDPR..seriously and they have got enough for 2 or 3 days in the high Court too. World is crazy
well, based upon that, i have some further reading to do!
The hospitals have a major problem with this virus spreading within their wards to vulnerable patients. I don't blame them for enforcing rules.
Ladies, it's not all about YOU.
Healthcare students? F*ck em.
They're taking the case off the back of the Lancet study which (correctly) observes that there is no significant difference in the peak virus load if they contract it. What's also true is that vaccinated people clear the virus quicker, have less time with peak and high viral loads, and thus are less likely to transmit the disease forward.
Get with the program and take the vaccine.
