Second person fired for giving Flames vaccines

these posts are hilarious! Thanks for brightening up my day! One question to the one who is bragging on Canadien health care for his mom/s triple bypass surgery... how long did she have to wait to get it??

Coondog - "This article was about two people getting fired for being capitalist in a socialist society, wake up America before Pelosi digs her claws into all of the U.S."

Where you get this idea from this story is beyond me. No where in the article does it mention these two people as being "capitalists". In fact, it's quite possible they didn't make a cent off of their actions. I guess your lack of reading comprehension skills is just another indictment of the US education system.

This incident took place in Canada, so what do President Obama and Nancy Pelosi have to do with it? @Batts: Given your spelling, punctuation and word usage skills, you are probably one of the prime candidates to be culled from "the heard" when the time comes. I know a society without people like you would be a better one in which to live.

Kyle – right-on, you tell him how it should be. Grandma will probably catch a cold standing out there.

Remember Coast Guard Rescue 1705, Sacramento, CA - 29 Oct 2009

Why don't all of you canadian idiots stay out of Arizona?

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

Hey, 'bonbogstie47'... you say your mother is 71 and waited outside for hours in subzero temps to get a flu shot? That's crazy. Maybe you should have waited in line for her and called her on the cel phone when it was time to get her shot?!! Use your head, dude.

Honestly......all this about a vaccine thats only 30% effective and has a barrage of side effects ranging from mild to life threatening.....for the flu...hmmm..... nothing else going on in the world to worry about i suppose...

Hundreds of thousands of people who are not in the critical bracket (senior citizens, chronic conditions, the very young, etc.) have had the shot. Local newspapers interviewed healthy, middle-aged adults coming out of the H1N1 immunization line-ups, and those people invariably said, "Yes, I just got the shot. Wouldn't you?" And now, those puritanical folks in some amount of bureaucratic power who are worried that "somewhere, someone has got the H1N1 shot" before they themselves got it "fairly and squarely" are ready, complete with crucifixion poles, to go out and start a witch hunt. Ahh, the glory of humanity. That's funny stuff. In other news, and, somewhat removed from the hustle and bustle of sneaking into immunization lines, firings, and puritanical witch hunts,I had the H1N1 flu. It wasn't that bad. I mean, it was a flu, sure. I was out about a week. I didn't pass it on to anybody that I know of, and, having recovered, feel perfectly fine. Much ado.

obama , his wife and kids all got the shots weeks ago- we have an epidemic here and no vaccine. he'd make a very poor captain of a ship.

strange #21 (can i call ya peggy?)--this is a story about a hockey team jumping in front of the line in regards to flu shots.

chances are if you called the health dept.-you might cop a flu shot.

weird huh?

*shrug*

(In March 2004, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued new guidelines for how women who are trying to conceive, pregnant women, nursing mothers, and young children can limit their exposure to mercury in fish. They now advise eating no more than 6 ounces (about one serving) of canned albacore or "white" tuna. At the Department of Foods and Nutrition at Purdue University, we tend to be a bit more conservative and recommend eating no more than 4 ounces a week.) So go ahead and eat up, and get that shot, your autistic child can live off the Govt. the rest of their lives.

5000 deaths worldwide, 7 billion people in the world. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than you do of dying from swine flu. 17,000 people a year are killed by drunk drivers just in the US that should be front page news.

the amount of mercury received from the vaccine is equivalent to that contained in one half a can of tuna fish.

To Julie,
You're better off not getting the vaccine if you're pregnant. Many of them have Thimerosal (mercury) , a known potent neurotoxin. If you don't believe me check out the data sheet. It says that
it contains a substance known to cause reproductive harm and many parents believe as do I that it has caused neurological problems in many kids.
If you do decide to get the shot, MAKE SURE it is Thimerosal free, it will be the best decision of your life.
You DO NOT want to expose your unborn child to that stuff.

meanwhile Edmonton Oilers players were last AGAIN

Oh Cameron...please. Give it up. Your mother must be related to the Calgary Flames then, because Canadian health care = waiting in long lines. Just remember how slowly our Government works to do anything right.

I am glad you have faith. I sure as hell don't

obama , his wife and kids all got the shots weeks ago- we have an epidemic here and no vaccine. he'd make a very poor captain of a ship.

NHL players...stop frenching chickens. Be like Jeff Carter and just make out with the dudes on your team.

Canadian health care is awesome. It's American health care that scares me. If it wasn't for Canada's health care my mother would've been in debt for the rest of her life from her triple bypass surgery.

ooo ooo ooooo sign me up for canadian health care! NOT

According to Yahoo sports "Smid was the one Oiler who was diagnosed with the H1N1 virus last week but never missed any games. He's not expected to miss the game on Thursday either." Professional athletes are not in the high risk category. My mother on the other hand is 71 years old and had to stand in line outside in sub 0 temperatures and snow for 4 hours to recieve her shot.

NightenDay. What a dumb and uninformed post.

They will forever now be known as The Calgary "SHAMES".

I had H1N1 last year. Guess what? Big F'n deal. It's the flu. Did you know on average close to 40,000 people die of the flu every year? Take care of yourself just like with the 'regular' flu and you're fine.
