Study: Half of healthcare workers might refuse H1N1 vaccination

What would be of value would be an understanding of WHY vaccination would be refused.

Anne, you are usually so good about sharing your opinions that this surprises me. I read your updates and have directed many of my colleagues to your fiercehealthcare site. I am disappointed by this though. I will ask a difficult but burning question that exposes the pudding where the proof is rumored to reside. According to the CDC, the NIH the JAMA, the BMJ and the NEJM has the incidence or the severity of the flu EVER gone down?

Then let's do something besides these stupid and ineffective vaccines, shall we? You know that they are bogus and WE, the healthcare providers (NOT to be confused the accursed insurance companies) know that they are bogus.

I am a healthcare worker and just received an e-mail that a facility for which I work now requires the flu vaccine and H1N1 vaccine (when available) by September 30. Ironic isn't it that a patient's HIV status is not available to me in the medical record (unless an HIV test is ordered and I happen to see the result). I have probably been exposed to hundreds of HIV positive, Hepatitis infected, and tuberculosis infected patients without my knowledge. I do this as part of my job. Now however I am now expected to be a guinea pig for a new vaccine (which is really a drug when you look at all the toxic compounds). If I do not accept the vaccine I will have to wear a surgical mask FOR MY ENTIRE SHIFT through the flu season. I am going to decline the H1N1 vaccine for both religious and safety reasons. This is preposterous. We cannot be vaccinated against every disease. This is just a ploy by the Big Pharm to generate mass hysteria and make a lot of cash. Shame on the hospitals that attempt to infringe on our civil rights by participating in this. Yes, of course we must safeguard the public. However this is outrageous.
