Has Anybody Been Fired For Refusing To Receive An H1n1 Vaccination?

I’m beginning to understand why the govt. is expanding so quickly. If you work for the govt. they can threaten you with your job if you don’t do what they want. (All about control…)

Health care workers are planning to take to the streets Tuesday at a rally in front of the Albany, N.Y. state capitol to protest mandatory vaccination.
The rally is intended to call for “freedom of choice in vaccination and health care” and to protest mandatory vaccination for influenza and the H1N1 swine flu. “This vaccine has not been clinically tested to the same degree as the regular flu vaccine,” Tara Accavallo, a registered nurse on Long Island, told Newsday. “If something happens to me, if I get seriously injured from this vaccine, who’s going to help me?”
While physicians, nurses, and medical technicians may not be known for their willingness to march on state capitols, a recent New York Department of Health requirement has sparked an unusually intense response. The August 13 regulations say that all health care workers who “could potentially expose patients” must be vaccinated for influenza by November 30 unless it would be “detrimental” to the recipient’s health. (Any reprieve would be temporary and last only until injection with the vaccine would “no longer be detrimental.”)
