There have been plenty of cases linked to vaccines were children have developed serious disabilities and even death. People put so much trust in these doctors, that they throw out all rational thinking. You go right ahead and let them inject you with whatever is in that crap, cause NONE OF YOU REALLY KNOW what's in them except for what they tell you. Don't be so quick to judge someone who looks well into things instead of going with the flow and being a sheeple.

If you don't want a flu shot then find a new line of work outside of taking care of young kids. Quit being irrational and making such a big deal over flu shot. Good grief they're not asking you to do meth, they're asking you to take something that will help prevent the spread of a virus to a young person that does not have a fully developed immune system. Stop acting like you're being persecuted.

There was a moment of silence.<br /><br />About two or three more times I heard it mentioned passive aggressively and I pretty much just ignored them- incidentally he is the only one to bring viruses in the house.<br />They eventually got flu shots including the h1n1 for the kids.<br />By the way they never got the flu shots themselves.<br /><br />Only do what you are comfortable doing. It is your body and your life. Flu shots are not requirements for jobs, if it were I guess I would not be a nanny after all.<br /><br />No one like to get the cold or worse the flu, and that's why we have to be careful in washing our hands, but if we do get sick- they get me sick quite a few times- it's called life.<br /><br />I personally would prefer if they all got the shot so I know that they won't bring the virus in, but I don't expect anyone to do anything that i myself don't want to do.mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893926009319533804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-9725860533991394652009-12-24T09:52:46.976-05:002009-12-24T09:52:46.976-05:00Your concerns whatever they may be are ill advised...<i>Your concerns whatever they may be are ill advised, let me assure you the flu shot is perfectly safe. </i><br /><br />I'm pro-vacc but NOTHING in this world is "perfectly safe."JustAMommynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-89698181586443896962009-12-24T09:51:20.266-05:002009-12-24T09:51:20.266-05:00I am saying that I responded to someone saying &qu...<i>I am saying that I responded to someone saying "Where's your phd."

It is recommended by the CDC that all caregivers working with children of that age get the vaccine. <br /><br />You are in the PRIORITY group.<br /><br />Your concerns whatever they may be are ill advised, let me assure you the flu shot is perfectly safe. It isn't going to cause you to get feline leukemia or turn your hair green. <br /><br />You must understand, if I was your employer and you refused to get a shot that could potentially save my child's life, I would consider you a danger to my family and fire you on the spot. <br /><br />What other vaccines do you lack? Perhaps you shouldn't be in this profession. <br /><br />Look, people who know better - people who study this stuff find the aversion to vaccines to be not all that different from claiming the world is flat. I would point everyone to research journals, etc. But we don't all have that kind of time. I will cite something more popular.<br /><br />To the parents in this thread that haven't vaccinated their children, here's some friendly reading:<br />http://discovermagazine.com/2009/jun/06-why-does-vaccine-autism-controversy-live-on<br /><br />We have been manufacturing Influenza vaccines for decades. They work. 2009's novel H1N1 strain is no different when it comes to the creation of a vaccine, but is sure as heck different if your body gets it. <br /><br />The most likely group to get infected are teens and people in their twenties.<br /><br />The most likely group to die is the elderly and the very young. <br /><br />It's a recipe for disaster. Again, I would fire you on the spot and I would not be a good reference.<br /><br />I'm vaccinated.xiao nannynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-61782276923557179702009-12-17T14:31:59.634-05:002009-12-17T14:31:59.634-05:00You'll notice in my first post I said people w...You'll notice in my first post I said people with an allergy can die from the shot.

At least it's not a big deal- it was just too weak. <br /><br />OP do what is right for you- you come first especially in a PT job.

It is ridiculous how many people do not see the validity in the OP maintaining control over her own body and what goes into it. OP knows what's best for her, and when it comes down to it, a job should help you live the kind of life you want, not detract from it. <br />Furthermore, OP has stated she works very part-time at this job. Therefore, the level of sacrifice she is willing to make for it may be less than what she would make for a full-time job. <br />It's not the pro or anti vaccine arguments that boggle my mind, it's the lack of respect for OP's autonomy.Sorry, butnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-69802537337521131632009-12-14T21:57:28.559-05:002009-12-14T21:57:28.559-05:00Phd, Md, quite frankly I don't care to get int...Phd, Md, quite frankly I don't care to get into the difference.

Discussing vaccination ethics and your personal ideology while calling a medical doctor a PHD negates your points and makes you sound fairly ignorant.<br /><br />For all those interested in reading more about the vaccination debate, I'd suggest the book by Dr. Robert Sears.

I know that people have had terrible neurological side effects from the ingredients, such as mercury.On some scale, I do believe that these things build up in the body and cause harm. <br /><br /><br />I think that taking reasonable precautions is mandatory, but some vaccines are just not reasonable.Actual OP here....noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32916951.post-11546270942259609092009-12-13T14:26:35.325-05:002009-12-13T14:26:35.325-05:00I was in a similar situation, OP, and I ended up n...I was in a similar situation, OP, and I ended up not getting the vaccine and also managed to keep my job.
