The flu is communicable. Health care workers do not have a right to spread disease. If there could be a flu shot that did not intrude on private lives and only protected people at work, surely it would be preferable.
I have never had a flu shot. If I worked in the health care field, obviously the protection for patients comes before my personal decisions.
No flu shot is effective against the flu. Each year the flu is a different strain. All flu shots are obsolete when you get one. You are getting last years flu. People who get the flu shot still get the flu because of this.
I have never ever gotten a flu shot and I'm not going to. The Government tied cooperation with this rule to medicare/medicaid reimbersment. So the hospitals crack down. Our hospital requires any employee who comes with 6 feet of a patient to wear a mask if they elect not to get a flu shot. work in the OR so i always wear a mask anyway.
The government can kiss my ass.
Oh gee.
It doesn't happen very often that I agree with rw's but you are spot on about this.
Its also rare that rw's actually disagree with bigger govt, so good for you.
