H1N1 vaccine
So how about this... Make the vaccinations optional, however any nurse who catches the flu has to use their vacation time and remain off until they are medically cleared to return. And using the time off to go to the Bahamas is cause for dismissal.

H1N1
How about make it optional and anyone who gets the disease and passes it on to a vulnerable patient is now liable for damagaes.

How about this. Do some research on how flu shots are dangerous and dont work, and that swine flu is not deadly, and that forced vaccination is not freedom. We live in America.

Good Job!
I am so excited to see that Americans are not all sheep. Thank you for standing up against complete governmental control. Who knows what theyre trying to inject us with.

Why dont we insist that Richard Daines publicly receive the H1N1 vaccine as a show of support for the health care workers. When asked if he will receive the vaccine he stated that he would not be the first in line for it. What better way to allay fears of safety issues than to publicly receive it himself. Why not Mr Daines?

H1N1
How would you know where you got the flu? You can get it anywhere. for example your own patients. As it is we dont have enough sick hours when we get sick. How do you know whether getting the H1N1 is going to prevent you from getting sick? Might even get you sick . And being Liable for getting someone sick is silly. Just another reason why people always want to take health professionals to court.

H1N1 Mandatory?
Two thumbs up for not allowing the government to force their ideas of proper health and wellness. H1N1 is another flu and like many...virus, may cause death, and is not guaranteed to be prevented by a vaccination! No way would I ever allow a non-medical or non-holistic person dictate to me what is the most suitable for me. Just say no to flu vaccine!! Honestly, if the government mandates this, they are supporting the companies that made this vaccine...even though there is question on if it will work!
