My mom's nursing home fired all the workers who refused the jabs even though most had recovered from SARS2 infections during their severe 2020 outbreak, one of the worst in the non-profit LTC homes. So all staff members had to disclose their jab status by a certain date or be placed on unpaid leave, and get 2 jabs by a certain date in order to return to work, regardless of natural immunity or pregnancy or religious belief, or be fired with cause and receive no severance and be unable to collect EI. Residents however, could refuse the jabs and were not punished. I refused for my mother. Then they demanded that visitors be double jabbed and then triple and quadruple - so I was no longer allowed to visit and care for my mother as before, because I refused the jabs. I also have natural immunity. So I have not hugged or fed or cared for my mother in 27 months. We only have Skype calls. I am unable to assess whether she has wounds, injuries, skin infections or diaper rash or needs toenails clipped. All around my mother, the triple and quadruple jabbed staff, visitors and residents continue to test positive and floors are repeatedly closed with residents confined to rooms 24/7 every time there is a suspected case. Their policies have clearly been ineffective and harmful. But the director and admin do not challenge the stupidity and cruelty of the public health Covid 19 science table [non]experts, despite the reams of science they could now use to justify allowing unjabbed people to visit and care for their loved ones. I am bitter, angry, and so, so sad for my mother.

I've thought a lot about what you said in our talk last Saturday Trish, about how people are becoming colder and harsher toward each other. Naomi Wolf talks about this also in her new book. This is a strong indication that we've got a long way ahead of us before we heal as a society.
