New York Nurses Suing State Over Forced Vaccinations
They say more staff have become ill from vaccines
than from the actual flu

 A
group of nurses is suing the State of New York over mandatory
H1N1 vaccinations, claiming that the threat of being fired for
refusing is a violation of their civil rights.
The nurses, based at Albany Medical Center, say
they have been told they will face a week of suspension without
pay, followed by termination if they don't get both the H1N1
and the seasonal flu vaccines by the end of October.
The New York mandate requires all health care
workers to receive the vaccinations before the end of November.
The nurses say that they do not believe the vaccines
are as effective as maintaining a good level of hygiene in preventing
the flu.
They also state that the possible side effects
outweigh any benefits, noting the fact that the H1N1 vaccine
has been rushed through testing and production.
"I have had more staff that have become ill
after the flu vaccines this year than coworkers that have actually
come down with the illness," Lorna Patterson, one of the
nurses, told News
10 wten in Albany.
"People are being forced to do something
by the government acting blindly for reasons that are not clear,
but about which cynicism might not be an inappropriate attitude
to take," the nurses' lawyer Terry Kindlon added.
"I think it's reminiscent of the bank bailout
of last year." Kindlon stated.
"These health care workers are being stampeded
into this, and we're supposed to be a thoughtful, rational society
that deals with things through due process and careful reflection.
That's not what [New York] want(s) them to do here. They're
saying, 'Look you guys, get the shots or in two weeks, you're
on the street.' That's criminal. That's ridiculous. That's insane."
The party say their lawsuit will be filed with
New York Supreme Court before the end of the week.
This is the second high profile lawsuit filed
so far by healthworkers over mandatory vaccinations. Earlier
this month the Washington
State Nurses Association filed a federal lawsuit
against MultiCare Health System for instituting the policy at
both Tacoma General and Good Samaritan hospitals.
Nurses across the country are standing up against
government intimidation to take the shot, pointing out that
the vaccine has not been properly tested and contains mercury,
squalene and other dangerous additives.
