Little bit sickened today by this story in the Philly Inquirer relaying the story of Rodney Bond, an environmental services worker at CHOP who was fired for refusing to take a flu shot.
I have a number of problems with this. First, how can you force an employee to inject a potentially hazordous substance or face the loss of a job. Some people do get sick from flu shots. Some people do die from flu shots. Second, the position of CHOP smacks of religious intolerance. The article describes a board of hospital admins who, essentially, decide if an employee is "religious enough" to be exempt from the flu shot policy. Since when did Americans start allowing companies to be the god police, deciding who and who is not religious. I think CHOP may discover that that pesky First Amendment may derail their rdiculous flu shot policy.
Though I am usually anti-lawsuit, I hope a good attorney read that story and decides to help Mr. Bond out.
