Health Impact News Editor
Nurses all across the United States are having their Constitutional rights trampled upon for refusing mandatory flu vaccinations. As we have previously reported (http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/nurses-across-the-u-s-are-taking-a-stand-against-forced-flu-vaccines/), thousands of nurses across the United States are taking a stand against forced flu vaccinations, choosing to either lose their job as a result, or endure shame and ridicule for being forced to wear a mask while on duty during flu season.

(http://www.thesleuthjournal.com/pregnant-nurse-fired-refusing-toxic-flu-shot/)Dreonna Breton lost her job in December 2013 for refusing to receive the flu vaccine while she was pregnant, even though she had a doctor’s exemption.

It was only a matter of time before some of these nurses began taking legal action to protect their rights. Some litigation began last year, but details are not available publicly.
Dr. Karen Sullivan Sibert (http://apennedpoint.com/no-hipaa-for-us-in-healthcare/#more-899), herself a pro-vaccine doctor, wrote an opinion piece explaining how requiring nurses to wear masks for refusing the flu vaccination violates HIPPA law for patient privacy. (See: Pro Vaccine Doctor Explains how Mandatory Flu Vaccines for Healthcare Workers Violates HIPPA Law (http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/pro-vaccine-doctor-explains-how-mandatory-flu-vaccines-for-healthcare-workers-violates-hippa-law/))
In addition to the violation of personal rights, the CDC published a study in 2013 showing that vaccination of healthcare workers with the seasonal flu vaccine offered no significant measurable protection of patients from the flu. (See: CDC Study: Mandatory Flu Vaccinations of Health Care Workers Offer NO Protection to Patients (http://healthimpactnews.com/2013/cdc-study-mandatory-flu-vaccinations-of-health-care-workers-offer-no-protection-to-patients/))
And as we have reported here at Health Impact News, the flu vaccine is not without risk. The government’s own data on settled cases due to vaccine injuries show that the flu vaccine causes more serious injuries, including death, than all other vaccines combined. (See: Flu Vaccine is the most Dangerous Vaccine in the U. S. based on Settled Cases for Injuries (http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/flu-vaccine-is-the-most-dangerous-vaccine-in-the-united-states-based-on-settled-cases-for-injuries/))
Now, the Law Offices of James Elsman has issued a press release stating that they have a client who is a nurse that has lost her job due to refusing the flu vaccination, and she has filed a class action suit for one hundred million dollars against the hospital that fired her, as well as the state and federal governments.
It should be noted that the new Affordable Health Care Act (Obamacare) has mandated that healthcare facilities must have 90% of their employees vaccinated with the flu vaccine to receive full reimbursements of Medicare and Medicaid payments.
Law Offices of James Elsman Announces Suit: Nurse Refuses Shots — Sues Hospital, Federal and State Governments for $100,000,000 Claiming Flu-Shots Have Many Dangers and Questionable Advantages

Reuters.com (http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/01/22/james-elsman-flu-shot-idUSnPnDEl3Tmd+164+PRN20140122)
DETROIT, Jan. 22, 2014 /PRNewswire/ – A nurse was fired from her Hospital job for refusing to take the flu-shot on religious and health grounds, and is “blowing the cover off many dangers of the flu vaccine,” says her lawyer, James Leonard Elsman of Birmingham, Michigan.
Karen Bashista of S. Lyon, Livingston County, Michigan was a nurse for St. Joe Hospital, and was fired for not taking the flu-shot; though she offered to wear a mask, be moved to another floor and function, etc. She said “Hospital doctors got waivers of such.”
Elsman said this is the first suit in the U.S.A., which joins a termination with a major challenge to the efficacy of the much-vaunted “flu-shot,” because he is suing not only the Hospital, but also the C.D.C. (“Centers for Disease Control”) of the U.S. Government, and the State Community Health Dept.
Nurse Bashista continued: “People are just waking up to the dangers of flu-shots and other vaccination shots that we don’t question, because ‘government’ recommends such. Well, if government is so smart, why can’t they even administer Obamacare? Government is grasping at straws and many physicians know this, more and more. Why don’t they always take the flu-shots?”
Elsman said the flu-vac is made many months “before” the yearly-strains are even known, so it is a guess in the dark. “A shot into your body is putting an attenuated flu virus into you — remember when Piers Morgan of CNN actually got the flu, ‘right after’ some CNN doctor gave him the flu-shot on live TV? A scandal is brewing. There is no proof of efficacy, i.e. that it works in all cases. Medicine should be ashamed. Mrs. Bashista is standing up for all Americans.”
$100 million is prayed for, because the suit is a Class Action on behalf of all Americans in all States, concluded Elsman. “We will no longer take modern-medicine’s or the Government’s kool-aid. People deserve ‘informed consent’!”

Never have I taken a "flu" shot and at 74 I am still alive.......no one has ever proven to me that those, or any, shots are really any good, is all a racket to suck more money out of your pocket...........I believe more in Zombies than of flu shots/

[crimethink]

This is a form of intellectual purge: nurses that actually care about sustaining and improving patient health are eliminated from health care. "Yes" (wo)men remain, and do whatever they are told...and spew the line expected of them by the Pharmacide Industry.

I wish the Fool Shot was merely about making money. It is also about inhibiting health. And some of us believe, about adding "special ingredients" (RFID) permanently to victims' bodies.

Lets hope its the beginning of the end for these #@%$

One of the reasons that they want nurses to get the shot is to show the followers that it is safe to do so, nurses must set the example for others........would you do something that your nurse refuses to do?

If your not going to provide medical care or finanicial care for any adverse reactions.

Then i am not required to comply.

I took a 20% income loss for refusing the flu shot at a hospital I used to work at. In the past I could sign a declination form, but this year it was mandatory. They threatened me with non entry which was fine. I was prepared to leave and I did.

Vaccines and Autism, Part 4
By Professor Doom
9-30-14





Now, there have been plenty of studies showing a link between vaccines and autism, not that a link means causation. For any statistical study, you can argue something about the methodology invalidates the study. One of the best arguments nullifying these studies isn’t the sample size, it’s the environment.
Autism rates are rising, vaccination rates are rising…given these two facts, it’d be pretty amazing, astounding even, if no study could be produced showing a statistical link between the two. Unfortunately, quite a few other things are rising. More processed food, for example, or just about anything else…I bet anyone could show that vaccination rates and number of McDonald’s franchises are rising together as well.
This is a big problem. Autism rates have been rising even in indigenous populations (http://www.healthinfonet.ecu.edu.au/key-resources/bibliography/?lid=22469), populations that didn’t even have a word for autism before. Now, these rates rise in proportion to these populations getting vaccinations…and that still doesn’t prove a thing.
As these people come out of the jungle or the outback to get their vaccinations, they’re also getting exposed to everything else the modern world has to offer. They come out of the jungle, get their shot, and grab a Big Mac on the way home…I exaggerate, but the modern infrastructure that exposes indigenous people to vaccines exposes them to many other things.
Instead of looking at rising rates of autism and vaccination, can we find people in the modern world who’ve kept the same rates for the last few decades?
Yes. The Amish do not get autism (http://www.southmilwaukeenow.com/blogs/communityblogs/211735051.html)…or at least get it at such a low rate (i.e., the historical rate) that it hasn’t been found. The Amish, of course, do not get vaccinations.
It’s really worth pointing out here: the Amish have not succumbed to plagues of polio, measles, mumps, rubella, or all the other things that most every American child is vaccinated against repeatedly, nor have they passed on these plagues to the tourists and such who visit them and buy their wares. Even more stunning, the population of Amish is exploding (http://www.citylab.com/politics/2012/08/exploding-amish-population-bubble/2795/)…and they’re avoiding vaccines. If vaccines are so necessary that it is mandatory for citizens to get them, why are the Amish thriving without them? “Herd Immunity” doesn’t apply here, since the Amish, quite obviously, live as a group, and totally travel through modern society with some regularity (http://www.wbez.org/series/curious-city/passing-through-chicagos-union-station-amish-transit-hub-110453). It really, really, seems like there’s a question or two worth asking there.
Now we have a real problem. It’s one thing to disregard the studies that say vaccinations and autism are related…but now we have a population that has no autism, and no vaccinations. To add insult to injury, the population has no plagues, isn’t giving anyone plagues, and the population is growing quickly.
I’ve heard some pro-vaccination folks say that perhaps the Amish simply murder their autistic children, but I find this argument shrill. You don’t have to assume nearly so much to discount this apparent relationship between “no vaccines” and “no autism.”
The Amish live a very special lifestyle. They don’t go to McDonald’s, after all, or do much that a “typical” modern person does…we’re basically looking at an indigenous population here, very unlike “everyone else” in so many ways that a case could be made that it’s still just a coincidence about the apparent link between vaccinations and autism. There’s also a genetic issue here: there aren’t many converts to the Amish, and most Amish can trace their roots back to Amish great grandparents. The people with genetic resistance to autism might just coincidentally be genetically inclined to being Amish—I’m not saying I agree, I’m just showing how far some people are willing to go to discredit a study.
Can we find people who’ve kept the same rates of autism and vaccination for the last few decades, who nevertheless live like us?
That might be a problem, but perhaps we can get close enough.
"The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself. . . . And our Society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out. (http://www.vaccineriskawareness.com/Vaccines-A-Religious-Contention-)"
The Jehovah’s Witnesses were initially against vaccination, but in 1952, they had something of a reversal, presented in the above quote. It’s an incredibly ethical decision: let the individual decide whether a vaccination is a sin, and behave accordingly.
Jehovah’s Witnesses aren’t nearly as restricted in behavior as the Amish, all we’d have to do is find a subgroup of Jehovah’s Witness that still doesn’t vaccinate and check their autism rates, and we’re set. Jehovah’s Witnesses even get converts regularly enough that you don’t even have to worry much about a possible genetic issue here.
We’d like to have a big sample, too, right? Well, here we go:
But thousands of children cared for by Homefirst Health Services in metropolitan Chicago have at least two things in common with thousands of Amish children in rural Lancaster: They have never been vaccinated. And they don't have autism. (http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2005/12/07/The-Age-of-Autism-A-pretty-big-secret/UPI-68291133982531/)
"We have a fairly large practice. We have about 30,000 or 35,000 children that we've taken care of over the years, and I don't think we have a single case of autism in children delivered by us who never received vaccines," (http://www.upi.com/Health_News/2005/12/07/The-Age-of-Autism-A-pretty-big-secret/UPI-68291133982531/)

This practice (the link is from nearly 10 years ago) tends to have patients who follow religious beliefs that disallow vaccinations. These patients also tend to homeschool, breastfeed, and eat at least relatively healthy diets, but are nevertheless a far cry away from Amish in lifestyle and genetics—they still watch TV, use cell phones, and eat the occasional Big Mac, after all. The children seem to be resistant to other common ailments as well:
“…The asthma rate among Homefirst patients is so low it was noticed by the Blue Cross group with which Homefirst is affiliated,…”
That’s not some random blogging chucklehead saying something’s special here, that’s Blue Cross. I’m no fan of big insurance companies in general…but I know they’re very, very, careful with their record keeping (because good record keeping means good profits for an insurance company). Asthma, much like autism, has also been claimed to be related to vaccination (just a claim, of course).
It’s also worth noting that these 30,000 unvaccinated children also are not dying off left and right due to measles, mumps, rubella, etc., nor has the population of Chicago died off contracting diseases from these children, over the last ten years. Yes, a few, small, outbreaks in various places (not just Chicago)…but it’s hard to compare a child being sick for a week to getting lifelong brain damage. After ten years of waiting, I would have thought people would wonder about those dire predictions.
I emphasize that last “ten years” because, over a decade ago, people were very, very, certain that the world was going to boil over soon...I was called many unpleasant names back then when I questioned the research, too. “Big government science” said the world was going to boil over, snowfall would be a thing of the past (http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html) (not joking, that’s the title), the ice caps would be gone, etc, supported by big government data, and every study that said otherwise was attacked, discredited, and could not get published in a “good enough” journal. But, with 10 years of no boiling over, people are starting to ask questions about just how seriously we need to take “big science” sometimes.
I no longer question the claim that there will be no polar ice caps by 2014 (http://wattsupwiththat.com/2008/12/14/gore-entire-north-polar-ice-cap-will-be-gone-in-5-years/), though there was a time when “only an idiot” would question the government science behind that prediction…it’s time to question something else.
How many decades of big government telling us marijuana was very, very, bad, have been negated in the last few years by honest scientists? One should always ask questions about anything big government related.
Charlatan: “It’s a ghost whistle.”
Sucker: “What’s it do?”
Charlatan: “It scares away ghosts. Just blow it once a year or so and no ghosts will attack you.”
Sucker: “That’s stupid, who’s ever heard of a ghost attacking?”
Charlatan: “Well, I’ve been blowing it every year. So, it works! But I’m moving away soon, so need to sell it to someone who understands.”
Sucker: “Ah, I understand. Guess I’d better buy it.”
I really think it’s time to ask some questions here about the absolute necessity of at least some of these vaccines. How many of these dozens of new vaccines we’re pumping into our children are really just ghost whistles? I only had half a dozen vaccinations growing up, and there weren’t any plagues…and now children need 70 vaccinations? Did I miss the study saying that the current generation is much, much, healthier than generations past? I sure couldn’t find anything of the sort.
Back to that (alleged) no vaccine practice, we have a very serious claim that there’s a relationship, the data is right there, now all the government (or someone else with deep pockets) has to do is a study of these 30,000 kids to see if there’s a result here worth reporting.
Does the government have the money for such a study? I know, there are lots of things worth studying. It’s been a decade, surely someone with deep pockets could take a look and settle things at least a little?
Autism link to vaccines dismissed by studies of more than a million children (http://www.theguardian.com/society/2014/may/20/autism-link-to-vaccines-dismissed-by-studies-of-more-than-a-million-children)
That’s a government study from 2014. I guess nobody “official” has the time to look into that vaccine-free practice, so we have to look unofficially (http://www.whale.to/vaccine/olmsted_h.html). Shucks. It would be nice to see that group studied carefully—it’s much harder to “produce” 600 kids with autism than it is to simply toss a few data points that would show a link.
Now that we have a whistleblower saying the data in big government studies is manipulated, I can’t help but be a little suspicious, even if CNN is very trusting that there’s nothing to see there.
More doctors are not using the Hib vaccine on their own children. Their reasons for declining the use of Hib for their own children included a lack of concern about the disease and the desire to reduce vaccines to a minimum…a growing number of physicians are not using the MMR on their own children to avoid the trivalent combined vaccines because of safety concerns (http://preventdisease.com/news/14/091014_One-Third-Nurses-Leaving-Jobs-Losing-Faith-in-Vaccines.shtml)
--wait, what? You mean the doctors don’t even think vaccines are always perfectly safe? Don’t they read CNN? Just kidding, although I’ve personally met a few medical personnel that are a little suspicious of vaccines as well.
I’m not a doctor, so I can’t give much advice. My knowledge of statistics tells me that something is going on, but I sure can’t tell you what. If you’re thinking of vaccinations, I encourage you to become well informed on the subject, and, ultimately, to follow your heart…vaccines are (probably) a good bet for most people, but you should know and understand the risks. If you do decide to vaccinate your children against everything, strongly consider spreading out the vaccine schedule as much as possible. Try to cut back on the Happy Meals for the kids, while you’re at it. Also, read more than just CNN for your information, because mainstream media just keeps insisting there’s no link at all (http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2013/03/29/vaccine-autism-connection-debunked-again/), even with multiple whistleblowers on the inside (http://jonrappoport.wordpress.com/2014/09/24/there-are-2-other-mmr-vaccine-whistleblowers/) saying big government research is bogus.

'Perfectly healthy' Florida girl, 10, is paralyzed with rare brain infection and can no longer speak - four days after receiving flu shot


Marysue Grivna, 10, developed acute disseminated encephalomyelitis days after getting her seasonal flu shot that has left her paralyzed
The condition, an infection of the brain, affects about 8 in 1,000,000 people
In about five percent of ADEM cases, the patient had been immunized shortly before
Research shows ADEM is more common among those who get infections from viruses like the flu than those who get the vaccine

A 10-year-old girl in Florida has been paralyzed for almost a year with a rare inflammation of the brain and her family is blaming a flu vaccine.
According to Carla Grivna, her daughter Marysue was living a perfectly healthy and happy life until last year.
'She (used to) love school, she was running, playing, singing in the church choir,' Grivna told WTSP (http://www.wtsp.com/story/news/local/2014/10/30/mom-daughter-paralyzed-because-of-flu-shot/18218703/).
