Eight Hospital Employees Fired For Refusing Flu Vaccines

178. Who stands close to a couching or sneezing person? If you do that I guess you are asking to get sick

or make someone sick.

Again, CDC says most infections are caused by touch.

And you don't have to be sick to get someone sick to spread via touch. You have to be sick (essentially, how often does a non-sick person sneeze or cough) to spread via airborne - and if that's the case you should be at home anyway.

And CDC also says most important way to prevent infections is frequent hand washing. If it was spread mostly by airborne, why would hand washing be relevant at all? It does not say the most important way to prevent infections is to get a flu shot.

And even then...... EVEN then! The flu shot, at best has a modest effect in reducing rate of infection in healthy 16-65 year old adults.

For their 2010 paper, the reviewers assessed all the studies going back to 1966 that evaluate the effects of vaccines against influenza in healthy adults. The reviewers found 50 randomized controlled trials or quasi-randomized controlled trials that compared flu vaccines with either placebo or no intervention. More than 70,000 healthy adults total, between ages 16 and 65, were subjects.

Among the Cochrane reviewers' conclusions was that influenza vaccines "have a modest effect" in reducing influenza symptoms and lost work days.
