From our January 28, 2017 Facebook Post:<\/em><\/p>\n

It looks like people are waking up to vaccine CHOICE – as it should be!!!<\/p>\n

“The study, published Friday in PLOS One, concludes that the research used to justify mandatory flu shots for health sector workers is flawed, and that the policies cannot plausibly produce the benefits that had widely been assumed.<\/p>\n

That is not to say that the group of epidemiologists from Canada, Australia, and France behind the new research opposes the flu vaccine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI take it myself,\u201d lead author Dr. Gaston De Serres said. \u201cThe reason why I do that is I continue to have the impression that it could work. But it\u2019s one thing to say: \u2018OK, on a voluntary basis, you get the vaccine despite all its weaknesses,\u2019 and it\u2019s another thing to say, \u2018If you don\u2019t get it, you get fired.\u2019\u201d”<\/p>\n
