In reply to the discussion: Eight Hospital Employees Fired For Refusing Flu Vaccines [View all]Moonwalk
(2,322 posts)...such vaccines and what happened to you is nothing like what happened to all those people who died, horribly, from that flu. You lived. Even if you got the flu from the vaccine--i.e. it gave you a mild version so you built up antibodies against a worst version--what could have happened to you if you'd gotten the actual thing would have been much, much, MUCH worse.
And whether you want to believe it or not, the fact remains that a single nurse who has such a flu, and doesn't know it yet because she's not showing the symptoms, could kill off a whole ward of vulnerable patients with their immune systems down or weakened. If your loved ones were on such a ward, what would you think of the nurse who refused that vaccine? Would even your experience make you sympathetic to her infecting and killing off your loved ones?
Read how that pandemic infected 500 million and killed off 50 million over two gruesome years and tell me again that the vaccine's not worth it.
