Teachers Who Refrain From Vaccination

Some NZ teachers are refraining/ refusing to be vaccinated against Covid 19 and its current variants.

Would you want your children or grandchildren taught by a teacher who denies the vaccine is effective or warranted sufficiently for them to get jabbed twice in three weeks without the need for the Government to make it mandatory?

And this is despite the tremendous weight of evidence which supports Covid innoculation as the way forward for mankind and recognises the vulnerability of children to the Delta variant of the virus.

More than 700 children have died from Coronovirus in the USA alone.

As expected the NZ Government is gearing to make it compulsory for vaccinations in professions that deal with the public directly such as teachers, retirement home staff, hospital staff, front line workers etc.

UHCC recognises the issue ( good) and has the answer (bad).
The railway crossing south of UH rail station coupled with the four directional roundabout a few metres east is causing traffic congestion all round and the situation will simply get much worse with increase rail transport and much increased traffic.
The most obvious solution is a vehicular underpass (such as the one created south of Silverstream rail station many years ago) or an over head vehicular bridge.

But no. UHCC see resolving the situation is in removing the round about and in its place installing a set of traffic lights.

While this will go a little way towards some alleviation of the traffic snarl, it does nothing to address the lines of traffic held back by wooden arms waiting for trains to go from either direction at a greatly increased frequency.

But to the person who screamed that the UHCC would not do anything, I guess that person is mistaken.
