On the upside: If the US ever declares war against us Europeans, we just need do the smallpox-blanket thing again.
Just cough on us.
I really don’t understand what could be the end game cancelling vaccines? What sort of profit they seek when they make people terminally sick? A sick person cannot make money as a healthy person?
Idk man. I’m baffled by the sheer stupidity of their decisions. Even 5 yr kid would be more reasonable.
It becomes a lot easier to comprehend them when you figure out they are just propagandandized contrarian idiots. They don't have a plan or even a definitive ideology, even the wannabe crusaders like Kegsbreath would be called vapid and empty by the most insane and deteriorated Knight of Saint Lazarus.
For those who don't know the Knights of Saint Lazarus started out as an order of lepers who figured if they were going down they were taking saracens with them.
They believe minorities have weaker immune systems and are hoping they die in greater numbers. This goes back to RFK Jrs claim that black people don't need as many vaccines as others.
They just hate people telling them what to do.
They still resent having been told to go to bed by mommy and daddy.
They hate people telling them what to do so they tell other people what to do
Specifically, they hate when people they think are socially beneath then tell then what to do.
It is called "cutting off your nose to spite your face". They are so obsessed with looking smarter and contrarian that they are ready to hurt themselves to do it.
Unfortunately some of these people are True Believers (Hegseth IMO) vs pure con artists (Trump)
Actively trying to cull the population
citing the need for bodily autonomy for servicemembers
Also Hegseth,
No more beardos. The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done.
He knows what he is.
Hegseth is the one who allegedly doesn't wash his hands and doesn't believe in germs. He should be removed from power.
If you drink enough, the germs seem to stay away
Some of the vodka splashes on his hands.
Lol. Wasnt sure whether to read this as 'you get so drunk you dont notice anymore' or 'you reach a bac that kills even the germs'.
Mm-hmm, less you think about it, more you drink about it, the more it works
[Edit: some say you can get bleach or even light into the body, for these problems, and maybe we should be doing that]
he hasa glamour room in the pentagon to do all the makup for him, no need to do it himself.
It is almost as if Iran had written the vaccination guidelines for the US air force.
Imagine if someone qualified to run the DoD was actually running the DoD.
I think you mean, Department of War (0/1)
Nah. That's only a temp name.
Yeah I can tell you there are a pile of pissed off airmen . Btw 160 is a small percentage of the airmen on a base. But it’s still going to piss a lot of people off.
Edit: I was told this is Lackland . The only base where new Airmen are trained. This is a good percentage of the airmen on that base who are going through training. Yeah, they’re gonna be a lot of pissed off airmen. And a lot of pissed off instructors. OK, technically you’re not an airman until you get through training because you’re a trainee at that point. But I’m old-school so I will still call them airmen
It's not even flu season, we can pump those numbers wayyy up this fall!
160 is a good portion of the basic trainees. And I'm sure it's not done spreading yet.
Oh shit! I didn’t realize this was Lackland. Oh hell, yeah there’s a lot of pissed off basic trainees. Thank you for the catch on that.
Oh cool, I feel like I've heard this story before... Something about a flu and an outbreak at a military base.
A long time ago though. Like probably just a little over a hundred years (at least for the flu).
Kinda of interesting that not more profilic antivaxxers die from preventable diseases tbh. I wonder if they get vaccinated in secret.
Many of them were vaccinated as kids, so they don’t suffer from their stupidity and instead inflict it upon their kids and othe people.
They benefit from herd immunity. Which wouldn't exist without vaccines. Many of the older ones were also vaccinated as a kid so they are also protected. The ones that usually die from preventable diseases are their children. You can see that with the measles and whooping cough outbreaks that happened in the last few years.
Hegseth drinks his own piss
Nice
Back to the civil war days where more soldiers died of infections in camp than in combat.
I'm not coming to Hegseth's defence (sorry, "war") but I've had my flu jab every year for the last 30-something years, and it doesn't prevent you getting flu, it can just make it milder.
It can certainly prevent large outbreaks when we're talking close quarters contact like between people in the military.
What's the name of that Curb your enthusiasm song?
The soldiers should know by now that they need to sneak off base to get proper medical care. Republican leadership of the military always ends this way. They want cuts and hate heatlth care, so military health care is an easy target.
