Nurses Being Fired For Refusing the Vaccine

[bullets13]

Thoughts?  

[Ty Cobb]

My initial thoughts are there will be lawsuits coming from this.  I would think these nurses can not be forced to take this vaccine.  However it made me think about the vaccines that children must have to enter public schools.  Not sure if it's that same situation but that's where my mind went.

I have not taken the vaccine and have no intentions to take it.  I just don't see the point of putting something into my body that has never been tested.  Who knows what long term side effects can/will come from it.

Were they firing nurses that didn't take a flu shot?

If I’m not mistaken schools cannot not deny a child due to not being vaccinated.

Many hospitals have made flu shots mandatory for years.

We do it all the time.  There are some loopholes, but vaccinations are required.

There’s my answer.  I’m sure they’ll go nuts on the covid vaccine requirement.

2. It sets a precedent. If it’s OK to force doctors and nurses to be vaccinated, will they come after the rest of the population next? What is going to happen to a patient’s right to refuse medical treatments they don’t agree with. 
3. It’s unnecessary. Most people who are healthy when they contract the flu do not experience any adverse effects and are left with a natural immunity to the virus that made them ill.

What happened to the argument “My body, My Choice?” Sorry I forgot it doesn’t fit the narrative.

Couldn’t tell you.  I’ve heard of many instances.  I’ve never heard someone say they had a choice, but I’m sure there are places they do.

They have a really misleading website name for really just being an anti-vaccination website.  Kinda like getting information about animal abuse from PETA.  There are certainly some valid arguments for not getting vaccinations, but this isn’t the source I would look to to find them.

The site actually gives both sides of the pros & cons of doctors and nurses being forced to get vaccinated but I agree with this side.😁
