I agree with Dr. Nancy. it is COMPLETLY irresonsible to not get vaccinated, esepcially as a health care worker with the potential to spread the virus to thousands of others in a hospital. If you are really that nuts and tin foil, take a leave of absence or quit. As far as I am concerned I lump all the anti vaccine people with this guy:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('TheAntiDoomer', '1')) That is a HUGE assumption. Any data to back up dem facts?

Health care worker here at a local hospital. And they are mandating that everyone receive the vaccine. When a number of us balked they said we could come to work if we wore masks. But now they're starting to get nervous about even saying that. Seems someone could easily play the religious descrimination card and sue the hospital for making them take a vaccine.

It looks like the only way this will actually be "mandatory" is if the gubmint declares a state of emergency and demands that it be mandatory- in other words- unlikely.

Oh and anti-doomer...

Remind me why I should take an untested vaccine? And the last time they had a vaccine for this illness- didn't turn out so great...

I'll take my chances...and if I get sick...I'll stay home.

By the way, here's some info that people are concerned about with this vaccine:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'T')he worst, most immediate effect from the flu vaccines may come from the high amount of squalene added as an adjuvant.

What can result from squalene is a cytokine storm, which is an over reacting, berserk immune system that attacks the lungs, the brain and nervous system, creating a variety of neurological or autoimmune diseases. This happened in the 1976 bogus flu scare and to soldiers who were vaccinated against anthrax during Gulf War I. It has been reported that the squalene content will be even higher in these Swine Flu Vaccines.

Haven't posted in a long time as webtv is not compatible since the PO upgrade. Right now we're in Daytona Beach as my sister is in the hospital (she is extremely ill and has been since her stroke in Janurary of this year). She has been in the hospital for two weeks now. She was isolated due to ESBL from a UTI. When we first started going to visit - she was almost the only room with a yellow metal cabinet outside her room(for the gowns and gloves we had to wear). Right now on the one half of the floor she is on there are 12 isolation boxes - it's started to look like a yellow cabinet explosion!
One of the local elementary schools is having problems with too many students out with the 'flu'. My sister's nurse today had something that was causing her to sniffle, cough, and sneeze... and she is taking care of these folks with the 'yellow boxes'.
We don't advocate vaccinations, but it would be nice if she stayed home while she feels like this, ya know?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Sixstrings', 'I') was watching MSNBC today, and their chief medical correspondent (Dr. Nancy something) said it's "irresponsible" for healthcare workers to not get vaccinated.

[deMolay]

This should start a discussion. The court issued an injucntion valid in all US states saying no forced vaccinations and holding them responsible. http://theburningplatform.com/economy/f ... -to-say-no

[smallpoxgirl]

Apparently the article is erroneous. There's been no injunction issued. link

[frankthetank]

I see it two ways. This vaccine is either going to somehow kill us or make us sterile ! OR the vaccine is going to save your life when the H1N1 superbug is released !!!

Why force people? Start handing out free sandwiches from Subway or a hat/t shirt and you'll have them lining up at the door...no need for that. Take a page out of the Iraq book. They hand out money over there to get people to calm down...it works!

First, I heard there'd be about 7M doses available. Then, I heard 3M. Then, I heard no, there'd be 6M, but, it would be 3M in two waves.
And, of course, there's been quite a bit of speculation about the drug(s) since NO studies regarding it/them have been finished.
My questions:
a) Using the 7M number, what percentage of the American population could be treated?
b) who will be collecting data on (possibly) the world's largest drug study?
c) if this is a copy/mutant of the 1957 flu, who got it out of the vault?

Was watching the beginning of The Stand (by S. King) the other night, and noticed that they called the pandemic flu going around, 'Swine Flu."

The Council on Foreign Relations just had a symposium where they discussed the swine flu vaccination programs and the growing public resistance to vaccination. They state that they must combat these "crazy people" and that they could create a sense of vaccine shortage to trick J6P into panicking and rushing to vaccinate. This was released in a CFR audio blog.

The "PANIC NOW!!" editing and effects are amusing, I thought.

Think Swine flu is serious? Apparently not as bad as pneumonia:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '[')b]UN: $39 billion needed for pneumonia By MARIA CHENG, AP Medical Writer Maria Cheng, Ap Medical Writer – Sun Nov 1, 7:01 pm ET:
LONDON – To fight pneumonia, the world's top killer of children, United Nations officials say they need $39 billion (euro26.35 billion) over the next six years. On the first World Pneumonia Day on Monday, the World Health Organization and UNICEF are releasing a global plan aiming to save more than 5 million children from dying of pneumonia by 2015.
The plea for money is less than what has been spent on more high-profile diseases like AIDS, despite the fact pneumonia kills more children than AIDS, malaria and measles combined.
"This is very simply the biggest killer people never hear about," said Orin Levine, a public health expert at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Health, who has advised WHO and UNICEF. Pneumonia accounts for about 20 percent of all child deaths every year; AIDS causes about 2 percent. –snip—

email I received today from Hawaii:

Eventually, she said, the Department of Health and the Hawai'i National Guard would be administering swine flu vaccine to the general public statewide.
"It's not just going to be children, or course," Lingle said. "It will be everybody."
