One of Cincinnati?s largest employers fired approximately 150 employees Wednesday for failing to get a required flu shot.

TriHealth offered all of its 10,800 employees free flu shots. Employees had a month to get the flu shot. The deadline was Nov. 16. Employees who did not get the shot were terminated Wednesday, a company spokesperson said.

Employees who were terminated can appeal to be reinstated after receiving the shot.

I have to question the legality of this. I?m not one who rages against vaccination because its evil, or a government conspiracy, or anything like that. But a few years ago they added the H1N1(?) vaccine to the flu shots, after rushing it into in under 3 months, with no clinical testing, because of a ?state of emergency?. Now while I don?t expect the vaccine to start the zombie apocalypse, in 1976 a vaccine for swine flu (same thing, different vaccine though) was record as causing over 500 cases of Guillain-Barr? syndrome (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guillain-B ... 9_syndrome). While I understand that the company wants to eliminate as many sick days as possible, is it moral and ethical to force employees to take medications, which they may have personal objections to? ?Take this medication, which may paraylize you for the rest of your life, or lose your job in a recession, with ?official? unemployment of 9%, and real unemployment closer to 16%. Yeah, sucks to be you.? If this is held to be legal, then how long before companies can require prophylactic mastectomies? ?You don?t have breast cancer now, but since you have a family history of cancer you might develop it in the future. So we want you to get your breasts cut off now to prevent that from happening, or lose your job?

My guess is not long...

First, Allyn Rose, Miss America contestant, announced in early November that she would be undergoing a double mastectomy to ?prevent? breast cancer. Rose, a healthy 24-year old Maryland native who lost her mother to breast cancer when she was 16, has been lauded by certain media outlets as an ?awareness raising? role model for having the courage to take this ?precautionary step? and for spreading her mastectomy-inspired ?message of preventive health care? to the masses. Many of the reports discussed how her decision was spurned by her awareness of having a genetic predisposition for breast cancer. (Editor?s note: Allyn Rose is not the only one looking at a double mastectomy to ?prevent? breast cancer ? it becoming more common than one might think. Read how Sharon Osbourne recently did the same thing and made news in the UK.)

Second, on Nov. 22nd, the New England Journal of Medicine published a review of the past 30 years of mammography finding that not only has the widespread promotion and adoption of breast screenings by millions of women not reduced their mortality (on the contrary, screenings have increased their relative risk of mortality), but that 1.3 million of these women were overdiagnosed and wrongly treated for abnormal findings that were not even cancer, i.e. were screening detected breast abnormalities that if left untreated would have caused no harm to women.
