Canadian paramedics are being used as experimental guinea pigs for flu vaccines, says a story reported today on Canada.com.

Mike Dick, a CUPE spokesman says. "it's shameful the Ontario government singled out paramedics for mandatory flu shots."

He says some ambulance workers feel they're being used as guinea pigs to test the side effects of annual flu shots.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees has filed an injunction to allow a North Bay paramedic, who was suspended from duty for refusing a flu shot to return to the job while awaiting the results of a constitutional court challenge.

The Ontario government claims it's reasoning behind the suspension is warranted to prevent paramedics from spreading viruses to nursing home residents.

Vaccines are highly controversial, and there is a lot of evidence to justify not accepting vaccintaions. Research has shown that vaccines can cause short term, as well as long term devastating affects on the body.It is believed that many serious diseases are actually caused by vaccines.

Many experts believe that childhood vaccinations account for much of the attention deficit disorders cropping up everywhere. The measles vaccine has shown to be linked to multiple sclerosis and other auto-immune diseases later in life.

We all know about the anthrax vaccine being suspect in the development of "Gulf War Syndrome". The anthrax vaccine was mandatory for troops in the field. Many of those troops have developed serious diseases, and have died.

When does big brother decide to allow people to make their own choices in respect to their own bodies?

Paramedics have survived just fine up to now without vaccines, and so have nursing home residents.
