DENVER (CBS4)- Hospital employees across Colorado are being threatened with their jobs if they don’t get the flu shot by the end of the year. This requirement is being implemented now even though the State of Colorado only requires more than half of all employees to receive the vaccination. The mandate for all employees doesn’t take effect for several years. These health care workers feel they are being given a choice: get a flu shot or lose your job. “I don’t want to get the flu shot and to me it seems I’m getting forced to put a virus into my body that I object to,” said one hospital employee who didn’t want to be identified. The new state health regulations require flu shots for health care workers to be phased in over the next several years. Right now 60 percent are required. Almost all hospitals in Colorado, including Exempla Lutheran, have made the vaccinations mandatory. When asked what happens when employees tell their supervisors they aren’t going to get the flu shot, Exempla Lutheran nurse Renie Lindgren said, “Everyone seems to be compliant.” At Exempla Lutheran those employees who refuse can be suspended. At Denver Health Medical Center, Centura Health and Banner Health, employees who don’t get a flu shot by the end of the year will be suspended and then fired. When asked if it is fair to threaten employees with the loss of their jobs, Colorado Hospital Association President and CEO Steven Summer said, “We need to have a workforce available when the public needs it if they are sick. I think people choose to work in a hospital.” The only way to avoid a flu shot requirement is for medical reasons. In those cases, health care workers are required to wear masks. “For people already being hit with the ultimatum of it is the shot or your job, I would ask where are they at with the percentages,” said National Vaccination Information Center spokeswoman Theresa Wrangham. Hospitals said it’s not a matter of just meeting the 60 percent compliance requirement, employees must follow their policies. “To me it’s against your civil rights. I can see you are trying to protect patients and all of that and I get that but I feel I should have the choice to take a shot or wear a mask,” said the unidentified hospital worker. The Colorado Department of Public Health said if hospitals want to go beyond the current flu shot requirements that is up to them. The hospitals maintain their policies are for the protection of their employees, patients and the public. Poster Comment: The only way to avoid a flu shot requirement is for medical reasons. There ya go. Flu shots make you sick, they give ya the freaking flu.

I can attest to that. The first and only flu shot I had gave me the worst flu I ever had in my life, thought I would die. Given the choice between another flu shot and a quick, painless death from a bullet to the head or heart I would take the latter. Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton The human herd stampedes on the fields of facts and the valleys of truth to get to the desert of ignorance.

“The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out... without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.” ~ H. L. Mencken Mandatory flu shots, TSA groping people in airport terminals, mandatory tax- penalty if you don't have insurance, unlimited spying on your phone calls and e- mail, your tax dollars supporting non-citizens through food stamps, insider trading for Congresscritters is totally legal. Had enough yet???
There ya go. Flu shots make you sick, they give ya the freaking flu.

The flu shot the doctor gave my mother several years ago, almost killed her within 45 mins upon receiving it. As soon as she arrived home from the hospital, she collapsed outside the house. She had to be rushed back to the hospital and almost died at that time from the flu shot. Those people who are forcing those employees take the flu shot, know of the flu shots deadly consequences. I even remember inquiring of this shot to a nurse in Des Moines, IA several years ago. I told her of the deadly consequences concerning them. To my utter surprise she admitted to me that flu shots are administered all the time to people whom they refer to as "experiments". She saw nothing wrong with what she was doing in these experiments. They have been doing these experiments for a long time. I asked her if she was getting one but she gave a vague response by never answering yes or no. She never answered my question but implored that my entire family get it. I suspect she worked in the upper administration of the hospital. Never trust these people who don't give you a straight answer. A simple "Yes" or "no" is all I asked of this cunt. I hope that when she dies that God punishes her for her deadly deeds against mankind. Do not take this shot. It will kill you. It's intended purpose is not to heal but destroy your immune system which will eventually lead to your death. You have been warned. You do not know what is really in those vials. But those nurses who have been given orders by their superiors who get their orders from HomeLand Security know what's in them.

A local artist in his 70s got one and was dead 5 days later. I've never had one and no interest in ever getting one. When I was in the service they had us all go to get them in a group. I acted as if I had received mine and made my way outside. The same goes for the malaria pills they handed out in Vietnam.
