Look, can we finally say, “about damn time?” WTF were these nimrods playing at?
DOD: “It’s totally voluntary. No one can make you get it. Command teams WILL NOT coerce or pressure their troops to get it.”
Commands: “Get the shot or else we’ll make your life miserable and treat you like a felon minus the due process. Oh, don’t forget, it’s voluntary *wink wink.”
CNN is reporting the likelihood Austin will push to get the president to make it mandatory, even before it’s been FDA approved, and I personally think it’s a good idea. Why? A: When have you ever had a choice B: These commanders are making our military look like a massive bag of smashed assholes with the way they’re breaking orders and doing whatever the fuck they want.
Obviously many of you are hesitant and don’t want to get it because you heard you’d grow a third arm or something, but listen; I’m only slightly autistic after the 40 rounds of anthrax I got, so you get to join me. Welcome to the “you’re a rat in a lab and we test our shit on you first” gang.
Hilarious, wish it hadn’t come to this, cuz muh freedom, but we all knew it was gonna happen eventually.
I know! people exercising autonomy over their own body and freedom are really antiquated ideas.
Dawg if it does anything can it make my dick bigger?
Sorry dude. I got it months ago and I’m still average and white. ????
Which one did you get? I have a vested interest in staying average and white.
Pfizer
If that were the case, I’ll take all three variants of the vaccine…
You gotta get gigavaxxed bro
CNN says he will still have to wait for 46 to approve since it’s not fully approved by FDA, which will happen but pushes the buck again. More back and forth with this than anything
Fuck….and…..that I ain’t gettin the VAX they can CM me idgaf lol
Sames
Cool, so when can we take the muzzles off?
Once it’s clear it won’t give them more power. Got a while…
Course of action for soldiers who refuse? Can they still get honorable discharge?
Yet to be decided. Look into the Rabies and Anthrax vaccine pushes in the past. Alot of troops got messed up by their chain of command before receiving a “Other Than Honerable”. I’m not getting the vax though.
I wonder what the chances of it being a dishonorable discharge are?
Will people have a choice for which brand of vaccine? I’m assuming they won’t which will probably piss people off more than already. I know some of the marines in my unit are open to get vaccinated just not with certain brands of vaccine, such as Johnson and Johnson for example.
If it becomes mandatory those Marines should go to a businesses that is offering the brands that they are willing to take and then update their medical status with the Marines.
What’s the point of getting it if you still have to wear a mask and still able to spread it, as long as you are not someone with a pre existing condition the virus shouldnt be more than a flu
Not surprising. I got my vaccine already a while ago because of personal reasons but the way commands treat unvaxxed personnel is bs. Def shouldn’t be mandatory at all but they could at least wait till it’s fucking approved.
Regardless of your opinions there really isn’t a single way to spin this as a national security threat. You’d have to be fucking retarded to think 20 people dying across the DoD qualifies as that. So it be nice if people don’t act like this was normal or a joke because they are fucking cowards scared of getting dicked by the big boys at the pentagon who are already commanding based on politics
You’re not wrong
I wish there was a like button for this
2nd that.
So even though it’s not working, we still have to get it AND wear the mask? Sheesh.
Makes sense, huh?
My whole reasoning for not getting it yet is that it’s voluntary. If the flu vaccine was voluntary, I wouldn’t get it either. When they make it mandatory, I will get it like I have with any other shot they’ve forced me to get before. I’m not an anti-vaxer, but I do have concerns over the safety of this vaccine’s long-term effects. My thoughts are this: If I get it under voluntary conditions, the VA can potentially deny medical treatment for long-term effects because I volunteered. If I am forced, then the VA has no choice but to cover the costs of care.
Agreed.
Aww yeah it’s civilian time
Yup
It’s not real untill we see the HQDA memo.
And it’s CNN. Pretty certain they don’t have a shred of credibility left.
Good point Danny.
Politics gain should never be at the forefront of a leader but here we are.
Needle yeet
Pretty funny, but I have a disease called sarcoidosis that has wrecked my fucking lungs. As such I have constant doctor appointments. Hilariously, my pulmonologist asked me if I got the vaccine. Obviously I said yes even though I haven’t. Now it is in my official vacation record. I see this as a win/win.
Maybe I should start an army tiktok like the barking marine that tiktokboots shares.
Lol. Well played.
So I guess people who can’t take it because of medical or religious reasons will have to face punishment, so much for medical freedoms
The fact that there is massive side effects including death reported on a system that is known to only really be reporting 5-10% of actual side effects is a problem for me. The risk of the virus to 99.9% of service members is essentially nill. The vaccine has no science saying it prevents anything, and statistics show that it has no effect on infection or hospitalizations. At the same time it bears very real added risk.
Yup. It’s asinine
Standing by to assume my “Low risk of antibody dependent enhancement”
Yeaaaah that’s gonna be a no from me dog
My COM just threatened us with a dishonorable discharge if we don’t get the vaccine by the 15th of September. Wondering if they’re bluffing or if that’s even legal.
What a piece of shit
This won’t fix anything. Making it mandatory will not fix the illegal actions taken by commanders and other leaders in the Army/military in general.
