Hmmmm...I can't get the smiling brother to show up any more. Now all I can get is some mousy Asian chick in a lab coat.

Just found out flu shots are mandatory at work. After looking at the ingredients I think this is crap. I can't wait to get my injection of

If you drink a glass of water afterwards, you can add arsenic, lead, lithium, radon, and uranium to your list.

Will do sir, will do. And then I'll take my pretty little list, poop on it, shove it down your throat, set it on fire, and then put the fire out with my size 16 steel tipped boots.

Man, some of you guys are going to die a horrible death if you don't heed some of this logic.

Obviously a vaccine will be much more concentrated than a glass of water.

And who drinks tap anyways? A poor person who needs their 'shot'. Get what I'm sayin?

So go get your shot. Bang.

I would refuse on principle, what Nazi company do you work for?

Easy there Serena

Sometimes public health trumps individual freedoms. That's not Nazi-like, that's proactive thinking. Vaccines and all forms of medicine have risks. The risks of the vaccines pale in comparison to the risks of the diseases they fight.

I don't give a crap about your individual or religious freedoms (when it comes to disease prevention). Get your shots and shut up. Save your anger for real issues---like why the richest nation in the world doesn't have universal health care.

Sometime public security trumps individual freedoms. That's not Nazi-like, that's proactive thinking.

I would hate to be treated for an illness or injury by someone like you. The reason you are required to get vaccinated is to reduce the chance that you will pick up the disease and spread it to 10's or 100's of patients in the hospital.

I have seen a number of reports that the majority of doctors and nurses refuse to get vaccinated themselves, and would be surprised if there are not at least, A LOT, of doctors in the hospital you work at who don't.

I would doubt that there are many studies that show that the flu vaccine actually prevents the flu. If anyone has any research that shows flu vaccines prevent the flu I would be interested in looking at that.

There are articles like:

http://www.thebostonchannel.com/asseenon5/10526833/detail.html

that say things like:

"In another study that was released Wednesday, researchers examined about 1,200 people who got the flu shot. Even though the vaccine was not a perfect match for the flu strain that year, the vaccine was still effective 75 percent of the time."

However, if you really think about that quote, if the flu shot worked 75% of the time that means 25% of the people who got the shot still got the flu. What percentage of people get the flu that don't get the shot? It can't be much higher than 25%. Even though 75% of the people who got the vaccine didn't get the flu, would they have avoided the flu anyway?

Whether they are bennifitial or not, flu vaccines are money makers and the CDC knows that. They will do anything to scare people into getting one. I'm with the OP on this one. I would avoid the flu shot and just load up on vitamin D and C. The risks seem to outway the (possible) bennifit.

No I am not a troll & yes I do work at a hospital. I live in Seattle where there's a number of organic greenies who I have as co-workers who are going to throw a fit over this, because like me they believe the flu vaccine is simply toxic.

I'm not near as concerned as them, but I am concerned about the fact that back in 99 and 00 I got the flu shot & it did nothing in helping to prevent the flu & I've seen studies online that show the same. Why inject myself with something toxic if it does not work?

That's a great point, though I'm sure their figures are very conservative. Almost everyone I know of who gets the flu shot gets the flu soon after. I would be very surprised if only 25% of those who get the flu shot get the flu.

Probably less than 1% of those who don't get vaccinated get the flu, and get rid of it on their own with no problems.

You should be very very concerned. Vaccinations can give you Aids, Ebola, and anything else they want to inject directly into your bloodstream, bypassing all of your body's usual immune responses.

Don't just say oh well it is nothing.

It is something and it's major.

That is why they are trying to force you to take it.

don't get the shot. 1. for the principle of freedom 2. because the shot itself is kinda bullshit, only necessary for people with weak immune systems and this pig flu isnt as scary as 'the man' wants you to think

3. take immune boosting vitamins (A, C, E, D), minerals (zinc...), and herbs (astragalus, elderberry, echinacea...) if you desire immunity to illness

Last year was the 1st time I got the flu shot...couple weeks later I got sick. But then again, I was frequenting teh bathhouses and sucking 3 cocks a day.

"Sit down and shut up" means "I don't have a real argument."
