I bet the Health Secretary Sajid Javid is not resigning because of BoJo, I bet he’s resigning to cover his ass when all the lawsuits come in suing the government. Did he tell doctors to kill elderly patients?Health Secretary Sajid Javidsays he is concerned by rising Covid hospital admissions, particularly in older age groups.One in 15 people in the UK had Covid in the last week of 2021, the Office for National Statistics (ONS) estimates, with numbers rising in the over-70s.
He once again called on people to get vaccinated, adding that staff at the hospital estimated about 70% of Covid patients in the ICU critical care unit were unvaccinated. Getting boosted, he said, meant your chance of ending up in hospital was "almost 90% less than it was with Delta".A further 178,250 new confirmed coronavirus infections have been recorded in the UK on Friday, according to the government's daily figures - a similar figure to a week ago.

The health secretary, Sajid Javid, and NHS England need to “be clear well in advance how we will resolve the hopefully small number of instances where service viability and safety could be at risk” because of frontline personnel leaving rather than getting immunised, said Hopson. The new rule applies to any staff who have face-to-face contact with patients but also non-clinical staff including hospital porters.Javid told the Commons last Tuesday that “despite the incredible effort to boost uptake across the country, there are still approximately 94,000 NHS staff who are unvaccinated. It’s critical to patient safety that health and care staff get the jab.” However, the number of NHS workers who have had a first dose since the government first announced in September that it was adopting a policy of compulsory has risen since by 55,000, he added.
The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) impact assessment of its policy found that as many as 126,000 unvaccinated staff could lose their job when the rule comes into force on 1 April.
