Forced flu shot at work

Geez people it's not like she is abusing her kids. She, along with thousands others, is making a choice for her children she feels is best.

Innocent infants have died and innocent pregnant women have had terrible late-term miscarriages because people don't vaccinate their kids. If you don't want to vaccinate your child, that's fine. Just keep them away from infants and pregnant women. You have a right to your own medical choices. You do not, however, have the right to cause fatal harm to others.
10 infants were buried in Ca in '10 because of people like this woman.

What a great benefit! I saw a healthy 30 mother of two die from the flu, so I'm all for the shots.
You could go work for a company who doesn't do this.

You're not being a "guinea pig" by getting vaccines that have been proven time and time again to be safe and effective. A "guinea pig" would be trying a new vaccine that was in the research stages. Millions of people get vaccinated every year without incident.

Until they are 100% safe, and not one single person has an adverse reaction, or death due to a vaccine, I still won't trust them. Many of the people who have been injured or killed by vaccines probably thought they would not have any adverse affects. I choose not to take the risk to see if me or my kids will be in that number.

I hope you're not eating eggs, drinking milk, eat soy, eating nuts, etc. either then, because none of those things are 100% safe either. Also, don't take any anti-biotics, aspirin, tylenol, advil, cough medicine. Stay away from tea too.

Also, stay out of airports and hospitals. When your kid comes into contact with a person with measles, there won't be much you can do.

LOL I'm never in airports or hospitals. Seeing as how I don't travel, nor does anyone in our family ever get sick enough to go to the doctor, let alone a hospital. We don't eat soy. We don't take anti biotics. Most of my eggs come from MY chickens, and its rare I drink milk. The only tea I consume is medicinal herbal tea either for a tonic or a remedy. We don't do cough medicine, but damn straight I'm going to take something if have a headache.

Nothing is 100% safe, obviously, but surely common sense tells you (well, it does ME anyway), that some things are more dangerous than others. My job as a parent is to keep things that I feel are most dangerous away from my kids. Injecting a cocktail of chemicals *IMO* is worse than milk and eggs for breakfast.

Your children never hurt themselves either? Never had a splinter, a cut, a scrap?

No. Never in their life. My children are perfect.

No drug is 100% safe. Humans subject themselves to such different environments and have such diverse genetic makeups to make that possible.

If you take ANY prescription or over the counter drug or supplement, or any non-100% natural food, you're a hypocrite. And seriously, do you think your TATTOOS are 100% safe?

I would be fine with it. It's the same as jobs requesting Hep B vaccinations. This is for your safety and the safety of the patrons.

Now Hep B is a whole different situation. If you are working in Phlebotomy, Lab, Cardiac Care, Nephrology, GI (for liver), or any field of medicine where the liver is concerned, Hep B is vital. You dont get sick with a Hep B series as some experience with the Flu vaccination.

Even though I'm not a medical professional, nor do I know anything about the Hep B vaccine, I feel like I need to say:

NO WAY, the Hep B vaccine should NOT be mandatory, they can't tell me what to put in my body, I eat right and exercise, and I'VE never had Hep B so I'm not going to pass it on to my patients/residents/whatever.

"It bothers me that drugs are the answer to everything. Why don't they enforce healthy eating and exercise. They would rather put donuts and pizza in the breakroom for everyone and then mandate a shot. It makes no sense to me!! "

First off, vaccines are not drugs. They stimulate your immune system so that it can react more quickly to a possible contagion. They, in combination with being healthy, help to prevent the illness. Simply eating health and exercising is not going to prevent those with suppressed immune systems (the old, the very young, and the ill) from getting an illness that may just inconvenience you, but could kill them. This is why they are asking it of their employees. As a side note, there are other professions that require vaccines as a safety precaution.

Your kids have never been sick because you are relying on ALL the other children who DID get their MMRs and other vaccines not to infect them. As more people are taken in by fear mongering, anti-vaccine folderol, your children won't be protected by herd immunity - something they take advantage of, but contribute nothing to. And I say this as someone who *is* immunocompromised due to a kidney transplant and STILL gets their vaccines on schedule.

No, I'm relying on building their immune systems and teaching the proper hygiene. Being vaccinated, YOU will be carrying that virus/disease and YOU can spread it to my child from simply having the vaccine. If vaccines are so wonderful then why do vaccinated children STILL get things they are vaccinated for? Sorry, until it's 100% proven that vaccines are 100% safe and 100% effective at eliminating illness, me and my children won't get them. I'm not into being a guinea pig for the government and sick care system. That's just me though.

and you are a fool if you think that is what you are doing.

Polio has been eradicated in the US because of vaccinations. However, all it takes is a person getting on an airplane who is a carrier for polio from an area of the world that is NOT polio free to re-introduce it to your child. Hope you enjoy standing on your convictions then. Maybe you can fnd some other nutter to "pray the polio away"
As far as being 100%. thats a non sequiter. Nothing in science will ever be 100%. thats not the way science works. Howvever there are mountains of evidence that show the positive effects of vaccinations.

you are simply allowing your children to hide in the "herd" of other children who have responsible parents. When irresponsibility becomes the majority (ie, what you are advocating) hiding will not be an option. measels, diptheria, polia, etc will once again become part of our population.

I do not understand how in this day and age p[eople can be as dumb as they are in the face of as much information as we have access to.

No way....not forcing me to do anything.Thats bogus,drug test is one thin.But force you to allow a person to inject you,no way not happening!

I would refuse only because I've only had the flu once in my life and I think it had to do more with just having a baby and being worn down than it was the true flu. My immunity holds up on it's own and I don't want to put anything into it that doesn't need to be there.

All of a sudden, it would be against my religion to get a flu shot.

This is my thoughts. My employers gives them for free but I refuse. My children did not get their shots and they did go to public school. There are ways around this.
