Mandatory Flu Vaccine

[Ron]

It is in the news up here as well. The Provincial Heath Officer has indicated to the Healh Unions & the big influential Nurses Union & stated that if they do not get vacinated then they will be forced to wear masks.
The Nurses Union had a Cow--the mooing was heard all over the Province of B.C.
While I generally am not in the Nurses Union side on most things & they are supporters of Gay & Lesbians, their stand resisting this policy is bang on.

They state studies that show there can be negative reactions to the vacines, the limited efficacy of the vacine itself & I beleive they have a point.
I have HBP & so the vacine is free for me if I want it.

My point is this, if a Nurse is sick with the flu--don't go to work.
My other point is this, if a Nurse gets vacinated, she can still have the virus on her (indirect carrier) so it is a moot point of forcing the shot on health professionals.

What it comes down to is this, whether or not it is effective or not is irelevent---Pharmaceutical companies who manufacture the vacine can earn a ton of money & they have influence on certain people.

Nuff said.
