(RNS) “I have spiritual and religious reasons to not have those toxins in my body.”
– Board-certified holistic nurse Carla Brock of Springfield, Mo., who received an exemption from a mandatory flu shot but was fired after she refused to wear a surgical mask her hospital employer required. She was quoted by the Springfield (Mo.) News-Leader.

I am very disturbed at the firing of Nurse Brock. For many years I opted not to take the flu shot. I never got the flu. This year I took it at the urging of my employer, physician & co-workers. I am headed to the Dr in a few because, guess what???? I have the flu!!! I hope Nurse Brock gets compensation for this ridiculous firing.

The flu vaccine contains dead or attenuated virions from last year’s strain of influenza. If the virus mutates significantly, or if you come into contact with a different strain of the virus, then you will get sick.
Do they not cover basic immunology in nursing school?

I am glad she was fired.
