Resort workers on VG reportedly threatened to vaccinate by April 30, 2021
This announcement reportedly came via an email circular to employees seen by Virgin Islands News Online (VINO) and made by the Vice President of Operations, Mr Daniel Reid.
“I would like to announce that we are looking forward to everyone having completed their first COVID-19 vaccination by April 30th,” the email said.
No liability for unvaccinated employees - Email Circular
The Vice President, Mr Reid, did not reply to inquiries from VINO to shed some light on the policy; however, employees were also reportedly threatened that repercussions will come should they not get vaccinated.
“The company will not be able to carry the liability for employees who choose not to be vaccinated after this date,” Reid went on to say.
“Going forward from May 1, we will have to adjust our schedule for those that have not been vaccinated. Please be guided accordingly,” the email said in closing.
Vaccination not mandatory - Gov't
VINO reached out to Minister for Natural Resources, Labour and Immigration, Hon Vincent O. Wheatley (R9) for comments on whether the policy could be violating the VI Labour Code; however, no response was received up to publication time.
Section 135 of the VI Labour Code, 2010 states, among other things, that: (1) An employer at any workplace including a construction site shall ensure that, (a) a safe, sound, healthy and secure working environment is provided as far as is reasonably practicable; (b) the measures and procedures prescribed by the Code and the Regulations are carried out; (c) every supervisor and every employee performing work complies with the Code and the Regulations; (d) every reasonable precaution is taken in the circumstances for the protection of a worker; (e) reasonable precaution is taken in the circumstances to protect the general public who comes into contact with the work site…”
While the Government has been pushing for the vaccination for frontline workers like those in the hospitality services sector, health authorities were clear that vaccination was not mandatory.

This too much to read so go to the link at the end published today on the Investigation being done on the vaccine that has more question than answers
TESTING ON HUMANS
In the UK, there were reports of 79 serious blood clots alongside low blood platelet counts. Nineteen of those people died as of March 31, the country's Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said. Some of these deaths may have already have been calculated in the earlier EMA analysis.
CONTINUED BLOOD CLOTS
EMA concluded on Wednesday that the vaccine had caused an unusual combination of blood clots with low counts of blood platelets in dozens of people. It had analyzed 62 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which is clotting in the sinuses that drain blood from the brain, and 24 cases of splanchnic vein thrombosis, or clotting in the abdomen, in people who had received the shot as of March 22. Of those cases -- reported from an area where around 25 million people total had received the AstraZeneca vaccine at that point -- 18 were fatal.
STILL UNSURE SINCE STILL TESTING ON HUMANS WHO IT MOSTLY HARMS
Without age and sex data, it's not known if the risk is higher or lower for particular groups, it said. The overall rate could also change upwards or downwards, as more people are vaccinated and a clearer picture emerges. UK health authorities had clearer data on age than sex, saying Wednesday that there was a slightly higher incidence of these blood clotting events in younger adults compared to older ones. BRITAIN UNSURE OF IT SO GIVING ALTERNATIVES That's why Britain took the decision to give people under age 30 alternatives to the AstraZeneca vaccine.
FAMILY PATTERN OF BLOOD CLOTS / LIFESTYLE / MEDICATION
Blood clots are common, and a significant portion of the population is already more predisposed to develop them as a result of underlying conditions, genetics, lifestyle or other medication they're taking. But the blood clots that authorities are seeing as unusual are specific severe clotting around the brain and abdomen, and are accompanied by low counts of blood platelets. This is an unusual combination because platelets typically help the body's blood clot in a good way, to stop bleeding, for example. Usually high platelet counts and severe clotting go together.

Why should my health be put at risk because someone would rather believe social media nonsense and refuse to take a vaccine that is proven to reduce the effects of COVID? These islands are heading for a reckoning when the cruise ships come back and a large proportion of the population remain unvaccinated
How is the vaccine preventing one from infection of the virus. I have seen many comments ,many which do not make any sense, but use words interchangeable to provide a narrative that sooth the thoughts of slow thinkers. I really want to know if I get the vaccine, would I not get infected, if I don't get the vaccine would I get infected. I am not positive for the virus, but have diabetes, would any underlying disease , virus, bacteria, fungus etc. become worst if I get the vaccine. How is it that not getting the vaccine a factor that will contribute to the person who have the vaccine that should prevent them from getting sick or getting the infective virus?
I cannot say to my staff don't or do get the vaccine until I understand the madness of this suddenly business policy that is assume to prevent the one from becoming sick with a virus. Then I would also like to know all the other diseases , virus, bacteria, fungus etc. that infect an individual, so I can write up the policy of the business and ask them to get vaccinated. They will probably be in hospital three quarters of their working days standing inline to be vaccinated.
The policies of labour department are very broad, the word "stay safe" can mean many things in a work place, when examine closely. You wear hard hat on the construction site, you wash your hands often, you cover your mouth when sneeze .But have anyone on the worksite constantly wiping the tools off after usage. I observe that the banks have people wiping constantly the area a person use at the teller station, but they use the same cloth to wipe over and over on the same surface, without changing the cloth. How is that prove to be healthy, to stay safe, its not prevention until the cloth is then change after every usage.
Some busineses use the COVID-19 to get rid of their employees, and use others to become employed that was of their first choice and then when they don't get their way with the work permit approval, they use the slang" am going to move by business else where" some business need to actually go, from they way they use their staff, disrespecting them, shouting on them and the name calling is like oblivious of what they are doing, or do they. The actual care of some business they meant well for their staff and want the best for them, so if they find areas that are not so conducive to people contact and are willing to place their staff there. Giving a deadline to your staff for COVID is like suicide for your business.
Share your thouhgts am willing to listen so I can learn.

Did you see the name of the vaccine that Gibraltar use for their population?
If restaurants suddenly stopped mandating that staff maintain hygiene and keep away from work when ill they would be getting sued for millions for not taking steps to protect both other staff members and customers. This is the same.
Mr. Ried is not making it mandatory that you get the jab, only the government can do that.
Mr. Ried, as a private business owner, determined that his business relies on the health and safety of his guests and employees.
If you, ad an employee do not want the vaccine, don't take it, but don't expect to return to work as a potential health threat to others.
A lot of the people who’s complaining about this vaccine actually are past vaccine victims. If it wasn’t for the vaccine years ago a lot more people would have die. I don’t know why people trying to make themselves sounds good? Sounding good and what it are two different things!
All those who for no vaccine would still have raw sex with someone they just met after a club jam! Those same people for no vaccine will smoke weed from a Hustler they just met today! Those same people for no vaccine will fly to another country and buy food from a food truck they just herd about yesterday.
If you look for negative in anything including the BIBLE you will find it. If you looking for the good and positive you’ll find out. There’s more good being done vs bad. Just like the best of humans; the negative post always get the most attention.
I just got a new job “ one thousand like and three thousand comments wishing me the best”
I just began my own company “ 3 likes 1 comment “good luck”
The same people who keep saying they’re not forcing people to take or not take it are mentally still bullying others to do otherwise.
Vaccine doesn’t stop Covid just like riding someone just just met after a VIBE jam with a condom doesn’t stop STD/ HIV; but with the Condom your just bit more safer.
Honestly if technology; whatapp, Facebook etc was around when we was going primary school 25+ years ago; a lot of our parents might have avoided the flu shot or vaccine that would have had a negative effect on the world community.
The world has changed. Except it or not! It doesn’t care what you think. You can’t and will not get on most airplanes without it. You can’t get certain businesses without it. The false hearsay that’s going around by people who haven’t spent an hour studying health knows all the answers but can’t fix the most simple things around them.
The BVI is a very fragile community. You’ll watching St. Thomas everyday and just admiring the airplanes like who want to fly in a box that’s all COVID???! You’ll really want to fly in an airplane with people from all over the world not knowing what they have or not?
I highly recommend you’ll stop looking at Facebook and WhatsApp for info and just google for yourself. Do your own research and if you can’t read your phone can read the info to you.
You don’t have to believe in the TSA or not but they’re rules still stand. Take off hat, shoes, belt, leave the bottle of water behind etc. if don’t like to rules don’t used the service that’s being provided.
Also to the no vaccine massive; the next time you get a toothache don’t go to any dentist and used your natural remedies because what the dentist give you to mum your gum is worse then the vaccine and if you’ve been to the dentist and talking no vaccine your a poppy show.
The world has changed; get with it or get behind the line. Who want it let them have it and who don’t leave them alone. A lot of you’ll BVI Islanders who outside the BVI talking will get stuck in someone else’s country and it will be you’ll fault. I rather be home in my country talking piss than in someone else country especially in the UK or USA.
The issue in the BVI ain’t the vaccine but it’s the people who hype up and protect criminals. Just last night a drive by shooting. One mentioned of the turn-up Committee blaze shot after another member of the turn-up Committee & everyone playing blind. We have an issue in the BVI and it’s not the vaccine, Covid or the Government but it’s the citizens of this community.
Take the vaccine and move on or don’t and move on. Sick of the bullying to take it or not take it.
The ones who take it will have an effect good or bad and those who don’t likewise. Everyone experience would be different.
To those Rastaman who always talking: ah yo always talking about going to Africa; before you go to Africa you must have a medical exam; you have to take shots and drugs; if you don’t you’re putting yourself in serious danger. But unless you have your own private way there’s no way you’ll get there. All them Rastaman that been Africa all took the injections on their left butt cheeks already.
If a job charge it’s police and your not for it; move on. It’s the people them company. It have people who’s been vaccinated and would love that job. Stop being an ostrich and understand the world has changed once again. It’s not the 1st and won’t be the last. You’ll trust everything besides God.
Who said God ain’t bless someone with a vision to used the ingredients of the earth to create this one thing that can help us? Who said the devil ain’t the one day don’t take it it’s poison? No that doesn’t sound right? Right? From ain’t don’t make sense it’s not true correct? Some of you’ll need to start looking for information for you’ll self and stop letting others pressuring you to do either or.
I hate to comrade C***y but I give big ups where it’s due - a lot of people who’s saying don’t take the vaccine already did and a lot of people who saying them ain’t take it already made plans to do so.
The same thief who stole your gold chain will be the one helping you to look for it. Humans are a unique species.
Now compare your picked headlines with a MILLION people DEAD without the vaccine and 37 dead that could be linked to the vaccine.
You are not a health care proffesional or frontline worker as then you would know what triage is all about. You live in a covid free bubble in the BVI look out and see the world.
But remember there will always be someone who can't take it due to health reasons do we force them to an early death too?
Yes, it has been proven:

But one thing is for certain, Covid does cause blood clots and lots of them. It is one of the ways it kills you.

Note I’m
I’ve noticed a certain race demanding us to get the vaccine calling the shots in our health and life.
This whole style of leadership and business is reminiscent of a colonial invasion/Civilisation of the "uncivilized"..Even their religion they brought and forced on others. SMH.
To those people going out of their way to make decisions on other people's lives y'all need to respect the basic human rights of others. All persons who feel threatened and needs protection, go get your vaccine, let others make their own choice. You can't rightly force, threaten or coerce others to make decisions about their own health, especially when you or any of the experts"
They should admit openly that this vaccination campaign is indeed in phase of human trials.
Y'all better relax and understand your rights do not include infringing on the rights of others.
The natural recovery rate for COVID 19 is at 99%, have you ever stopped to consider why you need to get vaccinated for such a disease?
Let ppl make they're own choices please.
A vast majority of vaccinated people can not catch or transmit.
I saw an ad in the paper last week and what was it's requirement to even be considered for the job :- VACCINATION !!!
So ayo sit there on ya'll high horses and forget it have other persons out here would are vaccinated and being vaccinated that are looking work.. Now aint the time to be playing around with a steady job..
