But eh, sticky... I believe you're now trying to argue that vaccinations don't slow down the spread of infections?

You do realize how idiotic that point is, right?

The above facts do not in any way change the basic point that it should be YOUR decision about your own body. You are arguing whether a person should get vaccinated and others are arguing that it isn't your decision to make unless it is your body being injected. Do you not see that those two points are not the same?

No it might slow it down, Id rather have my own immune system build up an immunity on its own. I guess you run and get antibiotics every time you have a sniffle too huh?

The point of this thread is people being forced to have untested vaccines injected in them in order to continue at a job. Vaccines that contain mercury as a preservative... sounds awesome.


Tell us all again how the virus dies almost instantly outside the human body...

Actually, what I'm talking about is the risk of infecting others. If a nurse doesn't mind getting sick herself, that's no problem of mine. If a nurse infects an immunocompromised patient, on the other hand, it's a major problem.

This isn't about protecting people from their own choices. It's about protecting others from their choices.

If you're not willing to do everything within your power to ensure that you don't negatively affect the health of your patients, you should take a long, hard look at whether you should be working in a hospital.

Yes because when medical professionals disagree with being forced to get the vaccination they are obvious wackos. People who actually completed their degree and are currently working in the medical profession are wackos for not wanting the vaccine forced upon them. lolz

In the real world of US health care...a hospital has to attempt to protect itself from a law suite...and if staff at a hospital infected a patient with the flu which in turn caused the death of that patient and an attorney learned that the hospital had not attempted to protect its patients from staff in that the hospital did not require staff to immunize themselves...they would be open to a law suite.

Someone like Sticky would be the first in line to sue...if it was his loved one that had died because Staff had caused their death.

Jesus did someone buy your nick recently? lol Kind of obvious. I've never sued anyone, and people get sick from other people in hospitals all the time. How exactly would one prove the infection came from staff and not another patient? Quite retarded...

Yes people get sick all of the time...and hospitals are frequently sued because of what happens to a patient while in the hospital. There are multiple scenarios where one could win a case that they were infected by staff (as has been proven before)...especially since in a civil case the evidence required is minimal...as differentiated from a criminal case. BTW...I said someone like you...not you...now didn't I?"

No one is "forced" to do anything... job requires it, you either do it, or you find another job... the requirements are pretty reasonable and are just designed to protect safety/health of the public...

just like a cook is required to wash his hands before handling food, just like a construction worker is required to wear a hard-hat or perhaps just like a pilot is required to pass random drug/alcohol tests...

You are probably thinking.. "yea, but that's different, washing hands poses no risk to anyone"... but sure it does, I wouldn't be surprised if more people die from some weird antibacterial soap allergic reaction than from flu vaccines...

You are correct...different jobs have different requirements and if you cannot abide by those requirements of course you will be fired. Health care workers should be required by their employers to immunize themselves in an attempt to protect themselves as well as their patients. Health care workers...just as other workers...have the choice of finding other employment...if they refuse to abide by the requirements of the job.

You are a nurse who has worked at a hospital for 29 years and need 30 to qualify for pension benefits. You are pregnant. Your 'choice' is to either get injected with something you believe will harm your embryo... which has not be thoroughly tested by any clinical trial involving pregnant women... or to forgo becoming fully vested for your pension.

U.S. Law will never allow that to happen.

You are a military nurse whom is pregnant with 29 years of service and have to have 30 years of service to receive 75% retirement pay as compared to 50% retirement pay with 29 years of service and you are told to be immunized with something you think may harm yourself or your baby...or forego being allowed to put in your 30...guess what...you will not only be fired but will receive a less than honorable discharge...and will be denied any retirement pay. So US law will allow it to happen. BTW...military personel are required to take so many shots it is not funny at all...and do so virtually every time they deploy.

VERY different example based on the agreement signed by the person when they enlisted.
Show me a nurse who signed an agreement with a hospital giving the hospital the right to inject him or her with anything....

I do not know what contractual agreements any hospitals have with their employees...but I would suspect that there are variants upon the agreements different hospitals have and I would not be in the least surprised that one has to have a record of various things they have been given shots for and in fact would be surprised if it was not a requirement.

The problem in your argument is that it HAS been tested... Libertine can probably explain it better than me, but the way I understand it the chemical composition is the same each year, it's prepared exactly the same way, except they mix in different strains of the virus each year... so there is no scientific basis for believing that this year's batch is any less safe than the batches from the past...

but still, that's life, if department of health announces that food workers now need to wash their hands with a different soap than they did for the past 50 years... it's tough luck, whether you are pregnant or 2 months away from retirement, you are washing your hands with the new soap or are finding a new job...

Ya you might have a point if the soap contained mercury and had the possibility of fucking your health up or killing you...

I love how you glossed over the fact that you were 100% wrong about the virus having next to no life span outside of a living organism. 2-8 hours is near instant huh?

Please tell all us non medical students how you were 100% right though....

it does have possibility of killing you, like I said earlier, it's quite possible more people die from allergic reaction from antibacterial soap then from flu vaccines..

oh dear .... as someone who's waited for hours on end at ERs doctors and nurses are the least of your problems when at the hospital. When you wait for 3-4-5-6 or more hours in the ER waiting room you're around coughing and bleeding people who've touched chairs and everything. And then you have all the outside visitors who come and go ...

I was just at a hospital the other day. In the waiting room they had several lotion dispensers attached on the walls full of hand sanitizing lotion. Out of about 30 people who came in and waited around only 3 used it!

Also a nurse nor a doctor, in America at least, would rarely touch you without wearing latex gloves most of the time. I've seen many wearing latex gloves even while filling out paperwork and changing them with fresh ones before touching you! Our nurse went trough 3 or 4 pairs of latex gloves in an hour

Also when you're on chemo or with a compromised immune system you should be wearing a mask when going out anywhere anyway!

A Walmart or a Safeway has more people touching things, which you end up bringing home with you, in less than a day than your average hospital anywhere

I cannot find where he stated "near instant" (maybe you can quote him saying that). I believe that he said it cannot live long and 2-8 hours is not long...in my opinion...and apparently that is only on non pourous objects.

I figured there was no point in trying to debate something I didn't say. After all, while you said "near instant" I said "not for all that long". If you can't see the difference, you're an idiot, quite frankly. Then again, no news there.

For the record: 5-15 minutes on skin and up to a few hours on hard surfaces isn't all that long, especially when you consider that it isn't an on/off switch - the longer you wait, the more viral particles die off, with the minimum needed for any significant chance of infection being reached near the maximum time. Before that, however, chances already decrease rapidly as more and more particles die off.

But that aside, the reason I'll ignore you from now on is another (although related) one: you can't comprehend the very simple fact that infected people are the ones spreading the virus (both to people and objects), and that lowering the rate of infection will thus also lower the rate of new infections.

It's the reason I kept asking you whether you understood how the virus gets spread (a question which you failed to answer several times), and it's why you keep insisting on the incredibly dimwitted idea that vaccinations do not prevent the spread of infections among specifically localized groups of people.

Quite frankly, there is no point in talking with someone who doesn't understand that very, very simple mechanism even after having had it explained to him several times.

The lifespan of viruses outside of living bodies is rather limited. Moreover, without cells to infect, the virus won't replicate.

By contrast, during an infection the body serves as a virus-replicating factory of sorts, copying the virus over and over again. Coughs and sneezes send droplets of mucus containing the virus flying around the room, providing a constant source of potential infections.

An infected person has a chance of transmitting the virus that is literally thousands of times higher than the chance of simply carrying the virus from an infected patient to an uninfected one.

If 8 hours in a public place like a hospital waiting room that sees hundreds of patients a day is a short period of time, what is a long time? lol

To me a virus that has short term life is under an hour. 8 hours?


How many people could touch a surface in an 8 hour period and get the flu?

Anyways this whole thing is an over hyped bunch of media and government bullshit. Happens every few years... this or that happens, and we all get scared. OMG I could die.. I better hurry up and run out and spend x amount on this or that to stay safe.. rubes..

For the record: 5-15 minutes on skin and up to a few hours on hard surfaces isn't all that long, especially when you consider that it isn't an on/off switch - the longer you wait, the more viral particles die off, with the minimum needed for any significant chance of infection being reached near the maximum time. Before that, however, chances already decrease rapidly as more and more particles die off.

But that aside, the reason I'll ignore you from now on is another (although related) one: you can't comprehend the very simple fact that infected people are the ones spreading the virus (both to people and objects), and that lowering the rate of infection will thus also lower the rate of new infections.

It's the reason I kept asking you whether you understood how the virus gets spread (a question which you failed to answer several times), and it's why you keep insisting on the incredibly dimwitted idea that vaccinations do not prevent the spread of infections among specifically localized groups of people.

Quite frankly, there is no point in talking with someone who doesn't understand that very, very simple mechanism even after having had it explained to him several times.
Love how you downplay it. Funny all the government sites seem to say up to 8 hours. Yet you downplay it to 2 hours... Ok 2 hours in an ER room with say 50 people an hour entering and leaving. Using common pens and magazines to fill out forms. Sitting in chairs others have put their hands on, breathed on etc.

But whatever you are right IM sure...

I have and do get a flu shot every year...not because of any fear of death from the flu...but because I do not like being sick. If there was a shot for the common cold I would take it...once again because I do not like being sick with a cold. BTW...I have not had the flu since I was a kid.

The point that he made...and a damn good point...is surfaces are contaminated by people that have the flu...the fewer people that have the flu the less contamination. He never said that people do not get the flu from contaminated objects. And once again 2-8 hours is not a very long life span...now is it?

BTW...please point out where he downplays it to 2 hours...I believe he said not long. He has been factual in every post he has made and...in my opinion has not downplayed or overplayed any point.

Well you are twice as likely to catch the swine flu due to those yearly flu shots. ..

Makes you wonder what the next big epidemic will be and if the swine flu shot will make you more likely to catch that one. lol

What's a long time? Hmm, let's see... perhaps the several days that an infected individual carries and spreads mucus carrying the virus to numerous other individuals and objects? You know, the thing we use vaccinations against?

Also, great job on not understanding that it's not an on/off switch, not understanding that lifetime depends on circumstances, and not understanding that the carrier liquid is not infinite.

One last attempt at making you understand that bit: we're not talking about a surface being "infected" for a specific amount of time. Rather, there is some liquid (mucus, most likely) containing viral particles on a surface. The moment that liquid leaves the body, environmental circumstances for the virus start changing up to the eventual point where no viral particles are left alive.

The longer it takes, the more that die off and the lower chances of infection being spread get. Moreover, every touch of the surface will actually remove some carrier liquid, thus transferring it to the person who touched it (and potentially infecting that person if he transfers it to his mucus membranes). This, however, leaves less to infect others. Because the mucus in question does not mysteriously multiply.

That's why you want to avoid having infected people working around the hospital: they go everywhere and leave a constant trail of fresh airborne droplets and smudged out mucus containing viral particles. If another one picks it up, the cycle starts over again, ensuring another few days of the virus being spread. Etc.

On the other hand, if all workers are vaccinated, the spread is somewhat contained. The waiting room is not a good place to be, but since workers wash their hands between patients (or should wash them, anyway) and probably won't get infected themselves, the virus has far less chance to be spread. Surfaces carrying infected mucus become safe again within a few hours, hands carrying infected mucus become safe again even quicker - basically, the virus dies off pretty quickly if it doesn't get the chance to infect workers going around the hospital.

Rather than functioning as a source of further infection for several days, workers at most function as passive superficial carriers for a very limited amount of time. If you cannot see how that is vastly preferable to having infected people everywhere... ugh.

Yeah, because the flu definitely doesn't kill many thousands of people a year, and it's never happened before that a strain of H1N1 killed tens of millions of people... OH WAIT.

Fucking idiot

Ill make sure to bump this next year when it turns out that AGAIN it was all bs, and not much more, and WAY less of a problem than any other flu strain. Who can name 5 things that were supposed to be a population killer that turned out to be bullshit?

Eh, in the context of hospital workers, all flu strains are a problem. Even if they have relatively small effects on the rest of the population. Because generally speaking, hospitals tend to contain those people most at risk of kicking the bucket.

But that aside, of course chances of the swine flu being "the big one" are a few percent at most. We know for sure that there will eventually be a huge, destructive pandemic again, but we don't know when it will hit and what it will look like - we just know that it will hit hard.

Keep in mind, though, that it's not a chance of a few percent at most that a million people worldwide will die. It's a chance of a few percent at most that up to half a billion people worldwide will die. If the equivalent of the Spanish Flu hit today, up to one in ten people worldwide could die. There's a pretty good chance that that would include people such as you, your children, your partner, your parents, your friends, etc.

Each time a slightly different virus makes the rounds, there's a huge chance that the effects will be very small, and a very small chance that the effects will be huge. And there's no way to know beforehand which it will be.

The fact is nobody should be forced to take the vaccine. The judge was right

The vaccine doesn't protect you 100% Even if you take the shot you might get sick. The shot it's self might make you sick too. I've looked into some of the ingredients of this flu shot and it's not stuff that I want in my body. I'll take my chances of maybe catching the flu which I haven't had in 12 years.

Although there will be people that die...I don't know of anyone claiming that this strain is a killer. It is being said that in its current form...and if it does not mutate...it is a relative mild flu.

BTW...according to the local paper...in the local schools 1 out of every 5 students and teachers are out with the flu. Substitute teachers are being called in. I am not aware of any reported deaths...thus far.

the vaccine is so new, its safety is not tested. Its not intelligent to tell me its safe, trust the system.

i think health care workers will be happy to take a vaccine they have confidence in. its not like they want to spread disease themselves.

virus/immune systems are like software. very complicated, understood mostly by rocket scientists & brain surgeons. before i update software, i want to see if it works in the public. same thing with vaccines. im not interested in turning into a jerrys kid to prevent a disease that not likely to kill me anyway. & neither are the health care workers objecting to the mandate.

If the mandatory vaccine is so smart, why has only 1 state set a mandate?

i can get the vaccine this week if i want, but i am torn.. i spoke to a dr friend of mine and he said the highest risk right now seems to be pregnant and very obese women as well as the immune surpressed.. they seem to get the sickest in his hospital... however, they have not had one death and although some of his patients have had to be heavily sedated and on a respirator for 10-14 days, they have all come out ok..

that seems to be worst case scenario outside of death of course which i am really not in the age group for that and i have a pretty strong immune system.

my concern with the vaccine is that this particular strain hasnt been tested for a long period of time.. although i think the majority of people will have no ill effects, i have to determine if the risk outweighs the benefit..

i will say this though, the medical community is worried about how this is multiplying and also about how thins virus will mutate..

maybe i will just flip a coin and let fate decide...

There is no strong reason to take it at present if you don't work in health care and aren't in a group at risk of complications, to be honest. Basically, your biggest risk is a somewhat shitty week.

Of course, mutations are a danger, but those are mostly important from a public health perspective. From an individual perspective, the danger is too small to worry about.

I would never take any vaccine ordered to me by a gov.
This thing was rushed into production. It has not even been tested. It has mercury in it, and chemicals found in insect spray. Check out cdc.gov and see for yourself. And you would still put this in your arm? I'd sooner buy a hot dose from a jerry curled heroin pusher, than trust what the gov tells me.
Seriously, think for yourselves.

just a fyi, at admission they always ask if you are current on that vaccine or the pneumonia vaccine, Then often the first of many orders to come if you say no is to give it to you.

I checked with a CNA that works at the local hospital and she said that all staff members have been given a flu shot...for the ordinary flu...they do not yet have the shots for the "swine flu"...but expect to have it any day. I asked her if it was mandantory for all staff to receive the flu shot...and she said she did not know if there was/is an option or not. She said all staff were told to get the shot and as far as she knows everyone did.
