Today I read about a nurse that refuses to get a mandatory flu shot and is now about to lose her job after 22 years because of it.

It seems there are people out there that are immune to the flu. Wish I was one of them. My father never got it in his entire life, and same for my brother. I guess there are some people out there with an anti flu gene, or just extremely lucky. That would be pretty fucked up for this nurse if she was one of those people and this hospital was trying to force this shot on her, especially if it really does make you sick.
Thoughts?
I haven't gotten the flu since I was 19 and have never had a flu shot. Dunno if that helps you at all, but from my perspective
#1 I don't trust the government for shit, I remember getting tetanus boosters and that's fucking it. What's in that vial? You don't know...fuck that.
#2 I don't like the idea of injecting dead viruses into my body for any reason whatsoever. Immunity does not work that way, on paper it can be justified but the human body is far too complex to be so easily fooled. Get sick, develop immunity, don't get sick, you might at some point -GET SICK- I mean what's the mystery? WHy the need to try and thwart mother fucking nature and human biology?
#3 There seems to be some trend toward mandatory things in the interest of public good, one of the biggest being flu shots. Force people to get injections with mystery goo on the premise lives will be saved as the flu will be largely prevented. The logic only works if it can be proven that people who do not get the shots get sick, and I will be damned if I do anything to help that movement. If you get flu shots, you help further that sadistic cause. Once big brother can legally jam a needle in your body and you can't do shit to stop him, we are all fucked.
