**About 50 firefighters and paramedics have hired an attorney to investigate possible discrimination against the unvaccinated.**
On December 23, about fifty firefighters engaged a lawyer to investigate whether the protocols in place within the Brussels Capital Region Fire and Emergency Medical Service (DBDHM) – which differ depending on vaccination status – are discriminatory. The RTBF has been able to see the letter that lawyer Vincent Van Troyen sent to the Chief Public Prosecutor and his deputy.
In the letter, the lawyer refers to a note 2021-189 and “a difference […] between vaccinated and unvaccinated firefighters who have had a high-risk contact in terms of the time limit for return to work.”
**Vaccination List**
“For vaccinated firefighters, after one negative PCR test they can return to work […] while for unvaccinated firefighters, after a second negative PCR test they can return to work,” the letter reads. This longer period for non-vaccinated employees may result in a financial loss for the employee in terms of the operational and irregularity allowance […]”.
In addition, the lawyer’s letter also openly expresses concern about the existence of a list “that includes a column ‘vaccinated’ and that betrays the vaccination status of the official in question.”
**Company Physician**
In another paragraph, Mr. Van Troyen mentions certain practices whereby officers or superiors would force officers to share their vaccination status, and would send unvaccinated officers who had been in contact with a high-risk person home, even after a negative PCR test.
In a response to RTBF, the DBDMH spokesperson limited himself to the following: “We respect medical confidentiality. I have no specific comments on the cases cited, but it is the company doctor who decides who should be quarantined based on the procedures established by Sciensano.”
Easy sollution, get vaccinated like everyone who doesn’t get their news from their crazy uncle on facebook.
Boohoo my actions have consequences boohoo
Ik ben heel die discriminatierethoriek echt zo kotsbeu! Nee, ongevaccineerden zitten niet op dezelfde lijn als LGBTQ+ mensen, POC, moslims, joden, arme mensen of mensen met een beperking. Ze zitten op dezelfde lijn als zatte chauffeurs en lichtloze fietsers.
Zou jij willen dat je huis geblust wordt door een antivaxer?
Ze zouden oma dan misschien wel door het vuur van de zolder naar beneden dragen, maar zonder de afstandsregels te respecteren en zonder mondmasker! Echte egoïsten zijn het die niets geven om een ander.
“How was I supposed to know there would be consequences to my actions?”
ik stel me de intellectule capaciteiten van die 50 brandweerlui in vraag…
