I don't do modern medicine OR homeopathic remedies. All I go by is the power of prayer and ma faith in Jesus Christ.

I think there's more to this. 1,300 refused the vaccine and only 8 were fired. Why those particular 8? If some specific positions require the shot and some don't and the distinction is being made for some good reason, what's wrong with that?

maybe they figured they couldn't fire everyone, and needed to make an example of some, like the Roman Army's policy of decimation, or the French Army did following widespread mutinies in 1917?

Maybe. Just maybe. Or there could be some other explanation.

Don't like the idea of someone getting fired for not taking the shot.. I had 1 flu shot way back in the late 80's or early 90's.. Two days later I was sick with the flu.. Now I have had the flu a lot since then.. Some really bad. I am still afraid to get a flu shot now days... But yeah I have had all those other vaccines... Rights of a employer over a worker.. It is a hospital..

 

[easye688]

Was forced to take many a shot in my Navy days, even a smallpox shot because we were suppose to stop in Africa but ended up not having to.

Well, I don't believe in Hell, so I'm good. Anyway, if there is a Hell, I'll just hang out with ghandi, bruce lee, ernest hemmingway, marlon brando, george carlin, benjamin franklin, bill gates, sarah silverman, angelina jolie, katherine hepburn, howard stern, and charlie chaplin.

Bill Gates? Lol.

Hell is where the Warner Bros. Store is.

I ordered a DVD ofHBO'sThe Rat Pack, and it was sent to me straight from Hell.

Lol. Crazy.

Billions of people fitting in one tiny place. Interesting. Lol

If a neutron star can use its super strong gravity to compress its matter to the point of merely one teaspoonful theoretically weighing ~10 billion tons, then I have to hypothesize that Hades has long ago figured out how to accomodate billions of condemned souls, especially absent their physical bodies. That is not taking into consideration the potential existence of evil within races of sentient alien beings who lived on other habitable planets orbiting stars within possibly trillions of solar systems within billions of galaxies within the observable universe, but hey, those alien species may each have their own unique Hades to spend an eternity in, since it is conceivable that one alien species version of what they would fear as Hades, may very well be another's heaven or "nirvana"

Maybe it's changed over the years but many people who have gotten their first flu shot ended up getting the flu so 1 +1 = paid week off ;-)

Welll..at least you stay home when you're ill, as I have, but I had worked with some employees over the years, who had maintained perfect or near perfect attendance records, who have come into the workplace while visibly exhibiting symptoms of being very sick and were still in the early contagious stages of a cold and/or flu, just so they can be rewarded with a year-end plaque, letter of commendation, and maybe also awarded a small amount of cash in a check in gratitude and appreciation from our employer, this DESPITE very likely having passed on and infected other employees who themselves became absent from work and who more responsibly stayed home for a few days or maybe even a week or more as a result, so why did these diseased "typhoid Marys" deserve ANY recognition for harboring contagious illnesses that they intentionally and deliberately carried into the workplace?

ya i work in a small office with 6 other supervisors. first sign of someone sick im out of there and in the trade the rest of the week checking on my accounts lol.

I had non-allergic reaction to flu shot about 7 years ago called oculo-respiratory syndrome. It's benign condition, but wont be getting that shot again. Chest tightened up and eyes got really red about 10 minutes after shot--freaked the shit out of me.

Got the flu back in October. First time in about 25 years I got it. Hopefully it was same strain as what's out there now and I'm covered. And I stayed home while sick. Im no effing martyr nor am I a disease vector like all the fucktards who come into work because the world will stop rotating if all are not graced with their presence.

 

[evolutionkb]

I just question the people I work with who come to work sick because they don't want to waste vacation hours to sit home.

it's kind of horrifying reading some of the anti-vaccination "evidence" put out there, and equally horrifying the number of dumbasses who believe it.

as far as I can tell, there is a legitimate debate over the efficacy of flu shots... not due to vaccinations being bad in general (the idiotic Jenny McCarthy's argument) but because they are only effective against one (1) strain of flu, and it's a bit of a guessing game on the part of the people pushing the vaccine as to whether this will be the strain most people get exposed to. also that the flu virus is capable of such rapid mutations that it could render any vaccines impotent, or ineffective.

still, the efficiency of vaccines relies on most people getting them. like polio, MMR, etc., we can almost eradicate most communicable diseases if done right and in a coordinated manner. but half-ass measures can sometimes be worse. to that extent, I have no problem in theory with government-mandated vaccinations that rest on solid scientific evidence.

if a sickness is going to affect 50% of people and kill 20% of them of them or maim them for life, but a vaccine will render it harmless, it's worth a mandated approach even if 1% or so of the population gets the sickness from the vaccine and dies. it's like shut up and deal with it. we're all better off, someone has to take the risk. sometimes your individual needs are subject to the needs of the many and that's the way it's always been

Weighing the known, tremendous good of a technology against the unproven and much smaller damages of it...seems like a solid approach. I wouldn't be surprised by pockets of resistance; I wonder how much resistance there really is.

I'm all for continuing research, but until there's a good reason too change our strategy, we're doing the right thing. Reminds me of the GMO debate. Even the Pontifical Academy of Science (mwahaha) says GMOs are a positive step forward for evolution.

...still think people should be allowed to choose though, that goes for vaccinations and the labeling of GMOs.
