Hospital Orders Staff, Volunteers to Get Flu Shots
I have checked the CDC website concerning the flu vaccine. The research numbers just don't add up. We have to look at the real research. Did the number of people that got the flu decrease due to just the flu shot or increased awareness? Did the research take this into account? What would happen if all the workers walked out for just one day instead of just going along with the powers that be. I also have not seen many studies on the long term impact of the flu vaccine. We pushed antibiotics and created super bugs. Now we are pushing the flu vaccine, so are we creating a super virus? What are the actual numbers of people that receive medical care for the flu? Are all of these patients actually tested for the flu or just diagnosed by symptoms? Check out the CDC website concerning the number of people presenting with flu symptoms and those that actually test positive for the flu. The numbers might be surprising. Do I give up my individual right to guard my own health because I decided to become a healthcare worker. How many future workers may change their minds. What is next?
