I told you, that 3 members of our family ARE in the medical field.  One in the pharmacy and those pharmacists and doctors, nurses, how many? said No way and they used their better judgement, and has nothing to do with fear, but common sense.  We are allowed to use that.  If the hospitals are so concerned with our health then why did they not show the paperwork as they do for prescriptions, why do they not show what constitutes medical exemption, and why does no entity take on liability.  Common sense that we have a right to, at least for now until the enemy takes it away, we will base our exemption on.  Conscience!

Songbird. Your response is exactly what makes me cringe. You getting your information off the internet versus receiving high quality, valid, information from a scientist who is a professed traditional Catholic .....

It's baffling. Don't ask a question if you don't want the truth.

Songbird asked:

Has anyone been told that they must have a mandatory flu shot and did you find a way to get out of taking the shot? An exemption.

An excellent question! what's the problem.

The problem is Songbird is getting her information off the internet versus high quality, valid, information from a scientist (on the internet, btw wiscon).
Now it's not as if you can't get high quality, valid, information from a scientist on the internet but...
Do all you scientist agree on this issue? God forbid.

How to get out of mandatory vaccination? That's the question. Not why should we have it.

You've implied that because I'm a scientist that I've forsaken my Creator. Because I"m a scientist and work for the *gasp!* government .... Shame on you, shame on you.

Oh, I missed that. By the way, your government is responsible for de-population programs (it's gov't policy) and I'm ashamed that ours follows in lockstep to destroy innocent lives, some through ... you guessed it - vaccination programs. So are we to trust your gov't? Now I didn't say you were responsible; maybe you just don't know these things. Scientists specialise, so that cuts them off to a certain extent from other fields of knowledge.
 

If we're infected by THAT virus, we are contained in a small room off the side of the lab and we can have no visitors. Locked in. We can never leave the lab. Receive palliative medical care there only. And if we die, we die.

Do not let allow FEAR to become the seed of your knowledge. ....  Darling, this is not the virus of today. The virus of today has literally freaked ME out. Yet you think a little mask will help your family? God bless you, and may He keep you from harm and that you never learn any better.

So you are freaked out and you are patronising Songbird with your Darling etc. I find your "we know what's best for you" attitude that turns people off amd helps to build up mistrust.

Did you have a look at the Children of God for life site? Songbird seems to have found it very useful. Maybe it could give you a wider picture than that which you see in your lab.

About 15 years ago a nurse showed up at where we were haveing daily mass and offered to give flue shots to everybody for $5.00 a piece. She casually mentioned that her father died of the flue. Of course everybody lined up to get their flue shot. Then after everybody got their flue shot, she said that her father was 87 years old when he died
