Queensland nurse Ella Leach has been fired from her job for refusing the COVID-19 jab despite being seven months pregnant and the state lifting the vaccine mandate in September last year. “Nothing really prepares you for it,” Ms Leach told Sky News host Caleb Bond. “You know it’s on the cards as long as the disciplinary committee process is happening. “I’m seven months pregnant nearly – I should be focusing on the joys of becoming a first-time mum, but it’s overshadowed by this process. “There’s no sensible reason why they would continue this action, we know that our hospitals are screaming out for staff, we’re seeing ambulances ramped outside, people dying in ambulances, rural areas really suffering. “I don’t know why they bothered to drop the mandate if they were going to continue firing people – I’m one of at least 50 since September 25.”
