Many hospital employees are being pushed into getting a flu shot. Some are faced with the option of being fired, or having a flu shot. If you are in this position, you need to know some facts. Christina Hildebrand with A Voice For Choice discusses the January 2018 HHS provision which stipulates that any entity receiving Federal funding must respect religious freedom, including religious exemptions for vaccines. She knows the facts and explains them well, including the process to file a complaint. The more people who REFUSE flu shots, the more hospitals will take note. Don’t let yourself be bullied.

Pam Popper shares encouragement because more and more health care workers are fighting against flu vaccine mandates and are winning lawsuits! EEOC cases are being settled out of court as hospitals are facing pressure brought by individual employees against mandating flu shots.

Is it safe? Every year flu shots cause adverse events. Many of these are reported to the Vaccine Adverse Events Reporting System (VAERS) which is available for public viewing. Many people have filed claims with the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program and received payments for death or injury caused by vaccines, a high percentage involves flu vaccines.

Watch this 4 minute video to help you make your decision:

Is the flu shot effective? The CDC’s own data shows the effectiveness of the flu shot varies from 10% – 60%. On the BEST years, 40% of people will receive no benefit from getting a flu shot.

Studies show that the flu shot rarely protects people from getting the flu and that increased vaccination does NOT reduce mortality in any age group. “We could not correlate increasing vaccination coverage after 1980 with declining mortality rates in any age group. Because fewer than 10% of all winter deaths were attributable to influenza in any season, we conclude that observational studies substantially overestimate [flu] vaccination benefit.” NIH study

Yet hospitals and other employers continue to try to mandate the flu vaccine for employees.

Can I avoid the flu without a flu shot? Absolutely. Our body’s immune system is able to keep us healthy without injecting toxic cocktails. Vitamin D3 supplementation, healthy clean food, clean water, sleep, and a healthy lifestyle will give your body the ability to defend against the flu and other viral infections.

Many people fear the flu. Yet 80% of all ‘flu-like’ illness is not caused by influenza A or B – the only strains covered by the flu shot. The National Vaccine Information Center has prepared a short explanation of the flu here and here.

At the very least, if you decide to accept a flu shot, ask for and read the vaccine package insert (vpi) which comes in the box from the manufacturer. Note the ingredients that are going to be injected into your body and note the known and reported adverse events so that you are aware of possible outcomes afterwards.
