I've known a handful of healthcare workers who declined vaccs because it made them ill.
**********************
The flu vacc is 'poison'?
That's a stretch....
**********************
Are you in healthcare or...do you work in an occupation where you're frequently exposed to communicable diseases, elders, children and the 'immunocompromised'?
I'm a nurse and I've declined flu shots before...because I work 3-4 PRN gigs at a time.
Once... is enough. *laugh*
I do get my flu vaccs, though. Not really for myself, though.
...for the 'safety' of my patients, rather. For the sake of 'herd immunity'.
I don't pretend to believe that any vacc is completely 'safe', though.
There are always risks.
*shrug*
Now, I'm not exactly sure how much it helps. But... it can't exactly hurt, either.*shrug*
There are no guarantees...besides death and taxes.
Nothing is 100% effective.
Not birth control. Not even handwashing...but we still encourage aggressive handwashing to stop the spread of infection.
***********************
I do have a problem with 'mandatory' flu vaccs, though.
On principle....
