Nurses file lawsuit over mandatory flu vaccine

I visit St. Marys Medical Center often here in West Palm Beach, FL.
I do not have to wear any masks and they let me in the ICU to see my friend. I dont see anyone else with masks on either. I would not want to take the flu shot, they just inject you with the diesase! My mother in law took the flu shot and I don't know if this is coindence or not but she contracted diabeties right after!

When all y'all decided to apply to nursing school, didn't you have to provide proof that you'd either been vaccinated against measles, mumps, rubella and and and OR proof you had the disease? Did you all comply? Why is this so different? The H1N1 vaccine is made the same way the seasonal flu vac. is made. Seasonal flu is a combination of the most likely strains of flu for a particular year. It changes from year to year based on the likely hood of one organism or another. H1N1 is made in the identical manner. So why say you're not afraid to get the seasonal flu but you are afraid of the H1N1 flu? It makes no logical sense. You'd think health care workers wouldn't get involved in the hysteria over this.

I wasn't aware that you can "contract" diabetes? Please do explain.

1) What about if an employee just takes Tylenol before work? No fever.
2) How nice that hospitals NOW do not want sick employees to work. I guess this summer, it will be back to supervisors demanding nurses work sick, or be disciplined.
3) Suppose, during these daily prework screenings, there are not enough employees to work that shift?

Not to belabor the point, but the SEASONAL flu is shiny new each year. One year it has one strain of the flu, the next it is changed based on what the CDC thinks will be the strain we encounter. It's different every year...each year is new. I feel sorry for you if you don't understand THAT.

If one willingly stays employed for a company that has a policy of branding its employees, I would suggest the problem may lie with the person and not the company. It's a two-way street. One chooses to be employed in a particular job and for a particular company.

I'd like to see a McDonald's fryer successfully wage a human rights campaign due to the fact he's forced to wear a hairnet at work. It's not all that different.
