"A foolish faith in authority is the worst enemy of truth." -- Albert Einstein, letter to a friend, 1901 "I know of no safe depository of the ultimate powers of the society but the people themselves, and if we think them not enlightened enough to exercise control with a wholesome discretion, the remedy is not to take it from them, but to inform their discretion by education." -- Thomas Jefferson, letter to William C.

- Taking
the Final Step: Implementation of a Mandatory Flu Shot Program Within a
Healthcare System - Fifth Decennial International Conference
on Healthcare-Associated Infections (abstract) - "Exemption from
vaccination was allowed for egg allergy, history of either
Guillian-Barré or a post-flu shot anaphylaxis. A formal
exemption process began as a written appeal to an internal review board
which determined exemption. For the non-exempt, the choice to not be
vaccinated resulted in termination. Rehire is conditional, based on the
intent to comply with influenza vaccination in the future. ...Over
99.99% of approximately 3800 employees received a seasonal flu shot. No
serious side effects occurred among those receiving vaccine. Of those
employees who applied for exemption but were denied, 4 chose to
terminate employement; however, one of these, a physician, chose
retirement rather than immunization. Consequences for unvaccinated,
non-employees were not explored this initial year."

- Autism,
Vaccines, Thimerosal: Further Study Needed - Age of Autism -
"No study has looked at the possible effect of the synergistic toxicity
of aluminum and thimerosal, which are never supposed to be used in
combination (according to the Manufacturer Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)
for thimerosal ) and are indeed combined in many shots (according to
the Vaccine Excipient Summary from the
CDC). And no controlled study, not one, exists on the effect of
low dose ethyl mercury toxicity in humans (a statement made by study
author Anders Hviid himself below on p.1765)."
