Classifieds: The media reports on questionable job advertisements for unvaccinated nurses

Several media outlets and journalists reported a remarkable accumulation of very similar job advertisements from unvaccinated nurses.

These raise the suspicion that at least some of these could be false reports or coordinated actions by opponents of the corona vaccination.

The "Franconian Day" (Bamberg) recorded more than 50 advertisements on Saturday.

“This accumulation of similar advertisements is unusual.

At first glance, it almost seemed as if it had been agreed,” said Gerhard Staudt, team leader of the order management of the media group Oberfranken.

The Rundfunk Berlin-Brandenburg (RBB) also reported on the weekend about "more than 100 supposed job applications in a Bautzen advertising paper". RBB journalist Andreas Rausch described in the report how he tried to reach some of the 126 advertisers on Saturday. Three-quarters of the ads have mobile phone numbers, some have landline numbers, and the rest have ciphers. The journalist writes that some numbers are incomplete or, like "0160-1234567890", not assigned, or that nobody answers the phone. With 18 samples he could not reach anyone.

The "Fränkische Tag" reported that in a Bamberg chat group of opponents of the Corona measures, unvaccinated nurses were called on to "flood" the newspaper with job advertisements. However, there is no irrefutable evidence of a connection to the accumulation of similar-sounding advertisements. According to the report, the newspaper nevertheless suspects that the advertising section of the newspaper “could have turned into a field of socio-political debate about compulsory vaccination”.

There had been similar reports in other media in the past few days.

However, there are actually many workers in the care industry who are looking for new employment.

The job portal Stepstone reported that in a recent study in December and January, 42 percent of nursing staff said they were looking for a new job.

In mid-December, the so-called facility-related corona vaccination obligation was decided: Employees in facilities with vulnerable people such as clinics and nursing homes must prove by March 15, 2022 that they have been vaccinated against corona or have recovered from corona.
