The Truth Will Set You Free .....

Waterbury Hospital in Connecticut says their employees have to get the flu vaccine for the sake of their patients. Their union says the policy goes too far. Workers protesting the policy are now being punished for not taking the poisonous shots.
Karen McKinnon walked out of Waterbury Hospital with her union reps and supporters around her. She was suspended for two weeks without pay, for refusing to get a flu shot. I intend to get Ms. McKinnon ON THE AIR to voice her outrage.
"It's a violation of my rights and I don't believe any employer should force, coerce or threaten any employee to receive a vaccination they're opposed to just to keep their job," McKinnon said.
She's wary of some of the poisons contained in the vaccine — formaldehyde, mercury, and alluminum, among other toxic adjuvuncts.

McKinnon is a nurses assistant in the OR and says they scrub down before going near any patient and she wears a mask.
Dr. Steven Aronin, the Chief of the Infectious Disease Section says scrubbing and wearing masks is not enough. "Anybody who works in Waterbury Hospital, who goes into our cafeteria, who walks the halls of our hospital could have the flu and somebody else who does take care of them- immuno compromised patients, they could pick it up and bring it onto their patients," Dr. Aronin said.
Waterbury Hospital is one of 19 in the state that's making flu vaccines mandatory and Karen McKinnon isn't the only one balking at it.
"I've worked here 32 years and I think the last time I received a vaccination was 17 or 18 years ago, got sick after I took it, didn't take another one ever again and was never treated for the flu," McKinnon said.
She does not feel like she's putting patients who may have compromised immune systems at risk.
"We are America, free country, it's our body, we know what's wrong, we know how we feel," Carol Graham a Clinical Information Associate said.
"I'm more than willing to wear a mask, I'm more than willing to take other measures, I just really prefer not to be injected for a substance I'm not prepared for. There's risk of death of the flu shot," hospital worker Pam Curley said.
The union says they believe people should get flu shots but they don't believe it should be mandatory. They're not filing a grievance saying it violates federal labor laws and HIPA because employees' tags now show their flu shot status with this yellow sticker.
"All of a sudden it's not so private," a hospital worker said.
The hospital says patient care trumps their right to choose. Really? Welcome to the Authoritarian States of America.
