    I’m not American, nor in the military, but aren’t teamwork, unity, and “doing what is needed to help a fellow solider” kinda the core of the culture?

    If so, then wouldn’t they not want someone not willing to do the bare minimum to stop/slow the spread of a virus?

      Also, isn’t day 1 of the military being injected with every vaccine known to man?

        Aayup, and you get a bunch more pre deployment.

        Refusing the vaccine was never about concern about vaccines though, it’s about swearing fealty to the insurrectionist far right and identifying yourself as such.

            In the military? 1000%.

            They were cool getting 100 shots at join and 100 more to deploy - Until Daddy insurrection announced that vaccines were actually Fauci controlling them with Bill Gates microchips and they all agreed that makes total sense.

            Fuck off faschie.

          Wtf are you on about? Swearing fealty? It was a vaccine that had been pushed through without proper testing.

      Kinda? Its complicated. Theres a schism between lower enlisted and officers. If you haven’t, Id also watch the angry cops video linked down below. Hes active military, shows how some officers make problems.

      Also, the vaccine was not tested, did not go through proper fda approval, only 92 members died from covid. For context, over 500 died from suicide the sane year. Shits fucked all around.

        he vaccine was not tested

        The vaccines were tested.

        Normally, a corp spends a long time researching a virus keeping all information secret as long as possible, then they make a vaccine, then it goes through 3 trials, one after another.

        For covid, information was being shared globally, governments gave billions of dollars, and the 3 trials were planned at the same to avoid any delays

        Nearly infinite money, the world working together, and running an aggressive schedule is what got things approved so quickly.

        only 92 members died from covid

        You’re right, that isn’t that many, especially when you compare it to the number of DOJ contractor deaths; 1 out of every 4723.5 of Military covid cases resulted in death, whereas 1 in 327.8 of the DoJ Contractor covid cases resulted in death. That’s more than a 10x difference.

        The issue is trying to prove why those numbers are so different, or why the military number so low.

        Is it low because the military members got the vaccine, which significantly reduces the symptoms and risk of death from covid?
        Is it low because the military members have access to better healthcare?
        Is there a huge difference in the general health of the Contractors vs the Military Members?
