Sources, to make you excited And for what it's worth, per the Mayo Clinic, the recommended daily amount of vitamin C for adult men is 90 milligrams and for adult women is 75 milligrams. Per Harvard University, At doses above 400 mg, vitamin C is excreted in the urine. A daily dose of 2,000 mg or more can cause nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and it may interfere with tests for blood sugar. Per the Emergen-C website, Emergen-C contains 1,000 mg of Vitamin C in each serving.

How do you naysayers feel about the Hepatitis vaccines or Measles/Polio etc, both of which are either making a comeback or spreading faster because of lower vaccination rates? Last edited by minn19; 09-21-2018 at 01:38 PM.. |

I always thought it odd that anti vaccination folk shun medical science, but will follow/agree with somebody like Jenny McCarthy and her like minded group. I feel terrible about what happened to her child and others like them, but I also don’t appreciate her (and again like minded people) spreading false information about vaccines that harm many more children and adults for that matter.
I also found it extremely odd that she rails against vaccines as they are supposedly harmful to children (which, some are/may be), but then decides to endorse a vape product, which is undoubtedly 100% harmful to young (any) people and spreading quickly thanks to endorsements such as hers. It is truly an odd world we live in sometimes. Last edited by minn19; 09-21-2018 at 01:48 PM.. |

Absolutely. I get the flu shot every single year. By choice.
It's a personal choice though. However people who don't get the flu shot are stupid. And being stupid is also a personal choice. |

It is frustrating to me to see this. And then inevitably, they return, with the cancer having spread and there's not much the doctors can do at that point, and of course, who gets blamed - why the doctor of course. Not the naturopath who basically fricking killed them by feeding them a bunch of BS and letting the cancer spread. I have zero respect for naturopaths. Where I say I agree in general, is that I am not certain if you are drawing a link to anti vaccers and those that don't get the flu shot. I don't think you can if you are. I refused the flu shot for a while, and probably will go back to not getting it, but I will always be vaccinated and all of my kids are (and will continue to be). The flu shot isn't the same really as other vaccines, because those vaccines are treating a disease that is predictable and well known in terms of pathology (I think would be the correct term, but I'm not in medicine). And so they are highly effective at preventing that disease from occurring. The flu shot, not so much. It might, it might not. They have to guess at the strains and make their choice. Which is why I support anyone who chooses to get the flu shot, and those that don't equally - it's a guess at the end of the day. |

Schools don't require it (at least not around here). I personally have never had one, mainly cause I don't get sick often and I'm too lazy to actually go in for one. My wife gets them (most) years since she is a teacher and at higher risk of getting sick.

Just reading what is spread on the internet; or facebook is appalling. I mean you can just about get all the information in the world. But do you have real world experience? Can you determine if a clinical trial was biased to influence results? Were appropriate patient pops studied? Or just did some tard writing some BS you took to be true? I fall victim daily, so not trying to sound self-righteous. But I digress, no one wants to be put in their place. I highly doubt MD's are tryna milk you with a flu shot. Shit brings an AVg profit of about 20 bucks. For all you anti-vaxxers. Have yall ever had polio or small pox? Think that shits cool. Its only eradicated BECAUSE OF VACCINES. think about that. You don't have to get the flu shot. You also don't have to exercise and eat right. You ain't gotta do shit. But don't spread BS with you WEbMD degree....no personal attacks; just ranting |

I would assume you would not be allowed to work anywhere near patient contact. It would be borderline negligent for the hospital for employees not to be vaccinated. To not create chaos, I assume you would be moved or something along those lines.

Not exactly, in my company you would be removed from any interaction with the patient. If they don’t have a job for you that doesn’t require that then you would be let go. But, thankfully everyone I work with takes patient safety seriously and not conspiracy theories/bad science or personal hunches.

The term "mandated" is a legal term meaning: "...A judicial command, order, or precept, written or oral, from a court; a direction that a court has the authority to give and an individual is bound to obey..." All that said though, even though it may be required at a place of employment there are, in fact, people with religious beliefs that prohibit them from receiving medical care and they would be well with in the bounds of legal precedent to say "no"to the requirement by their employer. |

I have had a few, but am declining for the near future. Here's why:
1) If it's a vaccine, why do I need to get another one every year? My immune system should already have the code to fight off all the versions I've already been exposed to with previous shots AND exposure thru the wild. 2) related: Is it not just an (educated) guess as to which flu will run rampant this year? And going back to 1), if I've already had all those variations in the past, why to I need another needle prick (I'm allergic to needles, which really sucks being in the high risk group of insulin-dependent diabetic) 3)I'm still torn by the idea that this is given via injection. How many of you contract the flu via it being injected into your arm? Shouldn't the front line of the immune system be the area we train FIRST? |

I actually posed this question to my doctor years ago and she said that the Flu virus (as are most viruses) constantly mutate and evolve. Sucks for us.
