MB Comment: The CDC is out with it’s big brother scare tactics, intimidating moms-to-be and health care workers into flu vaccination.
Our position (of course) is vaccination choice is a human right. The decision should be up to the individual.
Whether toxic products like multi-dose flu vaccine vials containing 25mcg of mercury per dose should be allowed on the market is another question altogether. Human beings, especially pregnant moms should not be exposed to such medical malpractice.
Comments from health care workers on the Refusers website reveal that more and more medical workers are being asked to choose between their jobs and their conscience. Refusing mandatory flu shots is getting people fired – even remote workers who work at home. This is absurd.
And get this: 75% of babies under the age of two got the flu vaccine last year. While the CDC considers this a victory for their home team, I wonder how many of those babies will have neurological problems when they grow up, given the medical textbook definition of a vaccine adverse reaction, encephalitis (brain inflammation).
Hopefully, the perpetrators who are inflicting mercury-containing flu shots on the unborn and babies will one day be held responsible in a court of law.

CDC shows disappointing 2011 flu vaccination data
Vaccine News Sep 27, 2012
Nearly 75 percent of babies up to the age of two were vaccinated last year, but they make regular trips to the doctor and vaccinations are routine. For those aged 18 to 49, the story is different. Only 29 percent of that age group received the flu vaccine.
The CDC survey shows 47 percent of pregnant women were immunized. Pregnant women are especially vulnerable to the flu, and the vaccine will also protect newborns who cannot receive the injection until after six months.
“Pregnant women worry about everything,” Dr. Laura Riley of Massachusetts General Hospital said, NBC News reports. “We spend a lot of time in this country talking about you can’t eat this, you can’t eat that. It takes us a little while to get the message out about how efficacious (the vaccine) is. We are preventing a very severe disease potentially and we are protecting your baby.”

Report: Two thirds of HCP got flu vaccine in 2011-12 season
Only two thirds of healthcare personnel (HCP) overall received influenza vaccine in the 2011-12 flu season, although they are urged by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) to be vaccinated each year, according to a study today in Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR). CDC researchers in April conducted an Internet survey of 2,348 HCP, 1,724 (73.4%) of them clinical professionals such as physicians and nurses and 624 (26.6%) other HCP such as clerical workers and food service workers in healthcare settings. Flu vaccination was most common among physicians (85.6%), followed by nurses (77.9%), and other HCP (62.8%). Sliced another way, HCP in hospital settings had 76.9% coverage, in physician offices 67.7%, and in long-term care facilities (LTCFs) 52.4%. The three most common answers given by HCP for why they did not receive vaccination were that they did not think they needed it (28.1%), that they had concern about its effectiveness (26.4%), and that they had concern about side effects (25.1%). As stated in the study, “Widespread implementation of comprehensive HCP influenza vaccination strategies is needed, particularly among those who are not physicians or nurses and who work in LTCFs.”
Sep 28 MMWR study on HCP coverage
It is ridiculous that anyone should be forced into vaccinating their children or having a vaccine themselves. The purpose of the vaccine is to prevent the disease, is it not? So why should it matter to those who chose to have the shot whether or not I choose to have mine? Insanity and fear tactics abound.
