N.Y. Health Care Workers Revolt Over H1N1 Vaccine

To The OP : That's because the doctors and nurses get to see the package insert, they know that vaccines are a scam.

This is completely false. There is no secret information that only doctors/nurses can see - any information that they have is available to the general public.

The point being that this vaccine is going to be potentially FAR WORSE then the swine flu is...

People who are scared of vaccinations are only about one step above the tinfoil truthers in terms of rational thought. The odds that you'll get sick or die from a vaccine are TINY compared to the odds that you'll get sick or die from the disease it is preventing.

While this is generally true in regards to the thoroughly tested childhood vaccines, this looks to be one of the exceptions to that rule. My girlfriend is not happy about having to take the H1N1 vaccine because she says they haven't done thorough enough testing on it yet. She is also refusing to take the seasonal flu vaccine because they don't yet know how the two vaccines will interact. There are also indications that one vaccine may serve to make the recipient more vulnerable to the other flu.

It's not 'secret' but the mercury and adjuvants added aren't exactly highly publicized, and doctors would know the effects of these things.

The insert is like the ingredients list, I don't have time right now, but I will link it up later.

After that one link... HOW MANY sources will satisfy you ?? 5? 10? 15?
I ask because even sourced 1000 times you'd probably still want to line up and get the shot... so if you can't be convinced I can't be bothered.

Hell, why do you need me to source everything... just ask your gf, she gets it.
 
What a lot of hospitals have done is more reasonable I think in that they have required those that don't want the vaccine to wear masks. Asking personnel to wear masks is completely within the rights of employers and truthfully, most health employees just end up getting the vaccine anyway since it's such a pain to wear the mask. Those that are serious against getting the vaccine however still have a choice not to get it.

They are going to require military personnel to take the shot.

They require them to take all kinds of shots. Army guys joke around about all the "shots" they've been given and what might possibly have been in them.
