Despite mounting evidence that the flu vaccine is completely ineffective at preventing illness, employers across America are threatening employees with termination if they refuse to get the injection.<\/p>\n

One such employer is Faith Regional Health Services in Norfolk, Ne. The hospital has told staff they must receive the vaccine as a condition of their employment. \u00a0A staff member commented on the mandatory nature of the vaccine. \u201cYou can refuse under 2 circumstances. An allergy, which you must get a signed doctor\u2019s note for. Or religious belief, which you must have your clergy sign a note for. In the event that you decline the flu shot with one of these options, you are required to wear a mask for the entire flu season, which is December thru March. \u201d<\/p>\n

The Colorado Board of Health has voted 7-1 that every worker in a healthcare setting will be required to receive the vaccine. This mandate will be phased in over the next three years and employees have an option: get the shot or look for a new job outside the healthcare sector.<\/p>\n

Rhode Island has also jumped on the mandatory flu shot bandwagon.\u00a0Over the objections of health-care workers\u2019 unions and the Rhode Island affiliate of the American Civil Liberties Union, Health Director Michael D. Fine has filed the regulation, \u00a0mandating seasonal flu shots for doctors, nurses and other \u00a0employees and volunteers who work in \u00a0hospitals, nursing homes, home-care agencies and other health-related industries in the state.<\/p>\n

The Michigan Department of Community Health is urging all health care facilities to impose a mandatory flu shot policy. Munson Healthcare agrees wholeheartedly and has incorporated this into their policy,\u00a0meeting a less-than-popular reception from employees<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Medical Center chief operating officer Kathleen McManus tells the Traverse City Record-Eagle that officials decided to make it mandatory because voluntary compliance has never topped 65 percent.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe people we serve here are very sick,\u201d McManus said. \u201cAnd I will not put a patient at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n

But some employees are up in arms over baring an arm. About 50 turned out for a recent meeting of Michigan Opposing Mandatory\u00a0Vaccines<\/a>, a Detroit-area group that promotes\u00a0vaccine<\/a>\u00a0choice. Employees also circulated petitions and hope to get the community behind them.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a really hard time believing I\u2019m going to be forced to do something against my will,\u201d said nursing administrator Dianne Lopez-Wild, who works in an office. \u201cIt\u2019s like something out of a sci-fi movie. It\u2019s bizarre to me. It seems so unreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lopez-Wild said it\u2019s a \u201ccivil rights issue.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The main objection from healthcare workers seems to be the fact that the flu shot simply doesn\u2019t work. \u00a0Many of the staffers who are adamantly opposed to taking the shot are not anti-vaccine in general \u2014 they are simply anti-flu vaccine. \u00a0One nurse commented, \u201cI am not opposed to all vaccinations. I couldn\u2019t wait for the Hep-B vac because it is easy to catch. And I recently received a tetanus booster. I am opposed to the flu vac because it is not effective in preventing flu and many who receive it become sick from it. Am I an expert in vaccinations? Nope. I am only going from my own observations over twenty years of nursing.\u201d<\/p>\n

A report released by an independent analysis company backs up what the objectors are saying. \u00a0Investigative reporter\u00a0Jon Rappoport<\/a>\u00a0wrote:<\/p>\n

\u201cA review from The Cochrane Collaboration, a widely respected research-analysis team, went over all the evidence, and entered its conclusion:\u00a0In healthy adults, no flu vaccine delivers protection from the flu\u2026But since flu vaccines don\u2019t protect against flu or even stop the transmission of flu viruses from person to person, the so-called \u201crehearsing\u201d of the immune system is merely somebody\u2019s fancy story.\u201d<\/p>\n

The flu vaccine has been proven time and time again not to work. It contains not only live viruses but also, according to the CDC, these potential toxins:\u00a0\u201dThe following substances are found in\u00a0vaccines<\/a>: aluminum,(brain toxin) antibiotics, egg protein, formaldehyde (now listed as carcinogenic), MSG or monosodium glutamate (a known neurotoxin),and thimerosal(neurotoxic mercury).\u201d<\/p>\n

Links have been made from the flu shot to paralysis, increased likelihood of Alzheimers, weakened immune system,\u00a0Dystonia (uncontrollable muscle spasms), and\u00a0seizures.<\/p>\n

A cautionary tale that supports the hesitance of many healthcare workers to take the mandatory vaccine is the case of former long distance runner Desiree Jennings, who suffered a rare but serious side effect to her routine flu shot.<\/p>\n
