Anonymous Coward User ID: 771830 United States 09/22/2009 02:24 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | In an unprecedented power grab, Richard Daines, the Commissioner of the New York State Department of Health has issued an order requiring all healthcare workers to get the seasonal flu shot by November 30 or face termination. Daines justifies this seizure of rights by making the bogus claim that there is a seasonal flu emergency in New York. In another unprecedented move, unlike all other vaccine mandates under New York law, no exemptions will be allowed for religious reasons. Quoting: Orion2013We are told by Albany insiders that if this move is successful in New York it will be tried in other states. The state government has announced that forced H1N1 shots are next. Daines has no authority to declare a non-existent public health emergency--according to the NYSDOH's own data there was only 68 confirmed cases of flu in the week ending on September 12 in a state of 19,500,000 people. And none of the laws cited by Daines in a document explaining his actions gives him the authority to override existing law by decree according to an analysis performed by attorneys working with the Autism Action Network. The Autism Action Network is reviewing options for legal action. Healthcare workers have always had the right to make their own vaccination choices, and according to the CDC 60% or more of all physicians and nurses choose not to get the seasonal flu shot. If this unsubstantiated pretext can be used for the seasonal flu then a similar claim could be made for any other diseases such as H1N1 flu and amy other vaccine.

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 771830First of all that was from the article, BUT According to the most recent data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, a significant chunk of health care professionals declined to get vaccinated against the influenza virus during the 2006-07 flu season, with only about 40 percent opting for a jab. Now that would leave 60% THAT SAY NO!!! [link to abcnews.go.com] # 2. Britain - 50% Half of GPs refuse swine flu vaccine over testing fears By Daily Mail Reporter 25th August 2009 Up to half of family doctors do not want to be vaccinated against swine flu. GPs will be first in the line for the jabs when they become available but many will decline, even though they will be offering the vaccine to their patients. More than two thirds of those who will turn the jab down believe it has not been tested enough. Most also believe the flu has turned out to be so mild in the vast majority of cases that the vaccine is not needed. P.S. Google is your friend "Fear is the mind killer" ~ Bene Gesserit |
