My cousin in Trinidad won’t get the vaccine cuz his friend got it & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied

The government has shown it will engage in meaningful and constructive talks with health unions. We want to find a way forward with @BMA_JuniorDocs but a demand of a 35% pay rise is not reasonable. If the BMA move significantly on this and cancels strikes we can resume talks.

It’s “GOING TO HURT” an awful lot more if we don’t resolve the crisis in retention of healthcare staff. You can’t have an NHS with no doctors or nurses. In my books I was paid 25% more in real terms than junior doctors today - pay restoration is crucial and urgent.

If your argument is that losing 20% of your pay packet is a bad thing, you'll agree with me that it's unacceptable that junior doctor salaries have fallen 25% in real terms over the last 20 years. Similar numbers for other NHS workers. So I presume you support pay restoration?

We did wait. The delay led to "one of the worst ever public health failures". Don't let anyone talk about hindsight. There was foresight from everyone apart from the politicians.

Here's a fun piece of trivia from #thisisgoingtohurt ep1. The very... problematic patient and mother were played by a real mother and daughter - the glorious Alice Bailey Johnson and Marion Bailey (who was also stupendous as the Queen Mum in The Crown).
