  1. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, it's not uncommon for hospitals to now require their employees to not smoke. Not just to not smoke at work, but to not smoke. That, like getting a flu shot, is not a requirement of your...

  2. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The one thing your comments have failed to be is objective, to pretend anything else is pretty ridiculous. It's evident that your area of Canada is not "right to work" if it was, you'd understand...

  3. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I haven't missed the point, I just

  4. Flu shot controversy

    CuriousMe replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The only reason there was a separate shot last year was that the strain was identified after production of the seasonal flu vaccine was underway. So, they made it the same way they make the seasonal...

  5. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The problem is that we are contagious before symptoms appear....so we could pass on the flu before we even know we're sick. I agree, that we should be staying home when we're sick (both for our and...

  6. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm asthmatic as well. Very well controlled, until I get sick, then I get very brittle, very fast. It's why I've been getting a yearly flu shot since....well, for as long as I can remember. Like...

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Thank you, I agree that these all are trustworthy sites. They also disagree with the article I was

    CuriousMe replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Outstanding post, thank

  9. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    In this area, it's only hospitals & LTC that require the flu shot. Public Health doesn't, community health clinics don't, hospice doesn't, Doctor's offices don't, the school districts don't,...

  10. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    My whole point is that they aren't forced. No one is forced to take any vaccine. It may be a condition of employment, but the employee is always free to work some place else. There are lots of...

  11. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Is your implication that those who do their research and see the value and safety of vaccinations....are followers, because they disagree with you? The problem with coining vaccination strictly as a...

  12. Flu shot controversy

    CuriousMe replied to JeniRN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If you do want to do some research, look at the difference between methyl mercury and ethyl mercury. It might not seem like a huge difference until you consider the difference between methyl alcohol...

  13. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find the anti-vaccine groups to be the ones using fear: unsubstantiated horror stories about all the"toxins" in vaccines. When in reality, there's nothing in vaccines (other than the actual viral...

  14. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    That problem you have with facts has reared it's head again, that's an expected side effect, not a medical contraindication....try again. martinhea13And you think this mandate isn't trickling down...

  15. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    martinhea13 never stated they had a medical reaction to the vaccine, the OP did. Try to keep up. Sorry, I didn't mean to introduce facts again, I know how that confuses you. So close...ok, not...

  16. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Who wrote this? How can I check their credentials? Anyone can publish on a web site. Show me an article on a trustworthy site. I'm not sure which government agencies you spoke with. But the...

  17. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well, except that it wasn't the OP that you quoted, so it seems it wasn't the OP to whom you recommended committing fraud. Facts aren't a strong point of yours huh? LOL I find it amusing that you...

  18. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I agree that it's a problem that people don't trust. I think that and not the safety or efficacy of vaccines is the heart of the problem. Since people don't trust the scientific establishment,...

  19. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Maybe Canada is different, down here in the states....there doesn't need to be an outbreak. Nursing students are guests at the hospital when they do clinicals. As such, the hospital can require...

  20. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Surely you're not suggesting fraud? That she ask a physician to lie and make up a health problem? Wow!

  21. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Wow! Just Wow! Tough to even know where to start. Well, at the very least...I'm not sure what you think is suspicious about a pandemic H1N1 strain. Pandemic flu strains are cyclical...the 1918...

  22. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Again, there is no force. No one is getting strapped down and vaccinated. You're right, it's a job.....job's have conditions of employment. If you choose to not meet the conditions of employment,...

  23. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The OP didn't receive the "live" virus, she had the shot, not the nasal

  24. Flu shot issue

    CuriousMe replied to coolpeach's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It does and it doesn't work that way. The idea behind mandating vaccines has very little to do with individuals. Vaccines are not 100% effective in each individual, so there's no way to know if your...

    CuriousMe replied to deetrain's topic in General Students

    That hasn't been my experience, my Prof's have been super supportive of me (I'm ADHD, combined type) and often are kinder to me, than I am to
