Fox Contributor - Joe Biden still purging military heroes refusing vaccine

[packman]

"You have Joe Biden, still, purging military heroes who don't want to get a vaccine," said Booth (Fox News Disinformation Bimbo)

It's a mischaracterization of the idea that Biden is purging the anti-vaccine people. The reality is that because soldiers are sent all over the world, they're required to have all vaccines from Malaria to Hep A and B, the flu vaccine each year, as well as specific immunization for the country to which they're being deployed, all of which are listed here.

[Ray Bruns]

1. I was in the Navy for five years. I don't remember anyone asking me anything.

They just said, “Go down to the mess deck and get your shot.”

[Wounded Bear]

6. 7 years USMC. Same thing. "Time for shots."

[Mickju]

21. Same here. Four years in the Air Force.

[Aristus]

14. Yeah, it would never even have occurred to me to refuse a vaccination.

Of course, I served in the days before FOX News started trying to tell everyone what to think.

When I was getting ready for deployment to the Gulf in 1991, I was told to get a typhoid shot. I told them I had already had it in Basic Training. They said: "Well, you're getting it again." I got it again. Sore arm and everything.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

39. As an Air Force vet, I agree.

I never thought of saying no to them and that included a cholera shot for the year I served a remote tour.

Looking back, I am thankful to be vaccinated against many different diseases and I will be getting another COVID booster this coming month. Instead of doubting science, I trust the knowledge of those who know much more about it than I do.

[mahina]

41. What's the best route to get this feedback to Fox and in public view?

Understanding peoples distaste for Twitter, maybe their Facebook page?

[oldsoftie]

63. I remember being in a line for equip & they gave me a shot right there in the damn line!

I did NOT like that because ive always HATED needles & would usually need to "psych myself up" to get one. I found out that day that surprise is also a way around the fear. I didnt have a chance to get nervous!

[EYESORE 9001]

2. The swine flu vaccine was mandatory when I was active duty

Nothing optional about it. This was at a time when people were actually dying from the vaccine, mind you.

[appalachiablue]

19. I got the vaccine in school b/c a friend kept pushing. It knocked me out flat for 3 days,

and I was really annoyed. Many years later I heard about issues with the Swine Flu Vaccine, esp. that many young, healthy soldiers were wiped out and laid up after receiving it at bases. Later I also met a middle aged man who had Guillaume Barre syndrome, possibly related to the SFV.

Oh well, all in the effort to prevent infection and stay healthy. A strong reaction to a vaccine may be an indication that your body is responding and active so I've read.

[Farmer-Rick]

23. You maybe allergic to something in the vaccine

I have a friend who can't take most vaccines and has to get special ones made up for him without a specific chemical in it.

He got his COVID vaccine made special for him and he didn't have to pay for it. His Mom was the same way. But she died of COVID before they got the vaccine out.

[appalachiablue]

61. The last flu vaccine I had was the H1N1 c. 2009 & it went fine, no problem. I was a little

hesitant because of a slight reaction to previous flu shots in the 2000s and 1990s (after the 1970s Swine Flu shot) .

I was with my mom for the later shots. She was in her late 60s and did fine, but after leaving the RX I felt weak and spaced for an hour or two. Wimp! I wondered about it, am over it but will mention to the pharmacist next week when I get the new flu shot.

I just read online that adverse/allergic reactions to vaccines include breathing/heart problems, fever, swelling, etc. which I never had.

(Years ago a corneal specialist said to stop using my contact lens solution because the * thimerosol preservative in it was causing irritation in my eyes, after years with no problem. The body can change I guess.Thimerosol is derived from mercury I think and may be the chemical your friend is allergic to, like other people. Thimerosol and the many vaccines given to children were debated years back but I didn't follow it closely).
https://www.cdc.gov/vaccinesafety/concerns/thimerosal/index.html

I think the weird response I had to vaxes was related to my body building up strong immunity, at least I hope so. Anyway, it's all's good, thanks for replying & stay well!

[Farmer-Rick]

62. I'm glad you are taking it cautiously

Yeah, bodies change over time. I suddenly had a reaction to aspirin when I use to take it all the time.

Take care of yourself.

[Red Pest]

45. I had no particular negative reaction to the swine flu vaccine. The Guillaume Barre syndrome link -

The Guillaume Barre syndrome link to influenza and to influenza vaccines is not completely clear. Here is a link to a review article by Vellozzi et al. 2014. Guillain-Barré Syndrome, Influenza, and Influenza Vaccination: The Epidemiologic Evidence. Clinical Infectious Diseases, Volume 58, Issue 8, 15 April 2014, Pages 1149–1155, https://doi.org/10.1093/cid/ciu005

(alternative link: https://academic.oup.com/cid/article/58/8/1149/355966#5094598)

Based on my quick read, while there is a small, but not consistent link between flu vaccines and GBS, there is also a link (a bit more significant) between GBS and an influenza infection. This link appears to vary depending upon the particular flu season and, therefore, the influenza strain.

[albacore]

3. In the Marine Corps, I got 32 shots in 4 years. Half the time, I didn't know what they were for...

..until I looked at my shot card.
immunizations are a readiness issue.

[Wounded Bear]

8. Semper Fi! Same here...

It was shot time, line up and roll up your sleeves.

Some times they told what they were, but not necessarily.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

40. I always knew the ones I'd be receiving.

[sarge43]

32. Put in 21 years Air Force

My vac book is almost as thick as an old NYC phone book.

About that readiness, fun fact via The Oxford Companion to American Military History

Revolutionary War: Casualty rate due to disease, 90% of the total number
Civil War: 71.4% per 1K
WWI: 16.5% per 1K
WWII: .6% per 1K

That significant drop in WWI in great part was because to a man the US Army was vaxx'd for typhoid, once called "the soldier's disease".

As far as this ole sarge is concerned, every one of those idiots should have had their 214 the same day. "You didn't read the contract, did you bunkie. With very little wiggle room, it's Orwellian. 'What isn't forbidden is mandatory'."

[albacore]

44. U.S.M.C. It really means "U Signed the Muthalovin' Contract"

[sarge43]

51. Excellent summation.

The devil's in the fine print, Puddin'.

[Norbert]

4. I see the right still supports insubordination

[pwb]

5. When you join the Service you are suppose to join.

Trust and not ask questions was my service. I stood in line and had 5 or six shots shot into my arm with air injectors one after another. You couldn't say hey wait a minute? No get your shots or get out IMO.

[SCantiGOP]

7. Even kindergarten kids have required shots

FOX thinks this is too much for a member of the military to endure?

[Farmer-Rick]

25. Yeah, anti-vaxxers don't seem to be upset about tetanus shots

You know that bacteria that can kill you from just a tiny scratch.

As a farmer, there are a lot of dangers from tetanus. I stepped on a rusty nail that went right through my foot. It took a year to properly heal. But I didn't have to worry about dying from tetanus.

[Gore1FL]

9. Military "heroes" who don't care about readiness or their fellow soldiers aren't heroes. nt

[James48]

17. Exactly.

21 years in Uniform.

Vaccines keep your fellow solders alive. You refuse, and you are a danger to your fellow men and women in uniform.

[Botany]

Look if you don't want the shot don't get it but then you can't be in the military and BTW you have to
be vaccinated to be allowed into the News Corp building. The real question is why is Fox News purposely
spreading Covid 19 by spreading disinformation about the disease, vaccine, and masks?

[jaxexpat]

13. But it's their constitutional right to refuse to answer that question.

The right to free not-speech. At least that's the way their little minds see it. They'd prefer you not have the right to even ask it in the first place.

[Botany]

15. In the military? You wear what they tell you to wear, go where they send you, and get the vaccines

.... they want to give you. Fox News really is a cancer on America.

[calimary]

18. That's all you need to know. Fox News is a cancer on America.

That why I usually refer to them as Pox Noise.

[Cyrano]

24. Great pic. On my second day in the Army at Fort Dix, NJ,

I was in a line just like that. But there were about eight to ten nurses/medics on both sides giving us shots in both arms as we moved down the line. No one knew where in the world they were going to be sent, so we were all being immunized against everything from malaria to "Jungle Crud."

Nobody asked if you wanted the shots. You just got them. And you got annual boosters. Fox is full of shit.

[Botany]

36. A long time ago when I was in 3rd grade our family moved to a small town in N.W. PA and it was not..

Last edited Mon Nov 28, 2022, 08:36 PM - Edit history (1)

... after I started school there that I got sent to the nurses office and my brother and 1 other
kid who was new to the school district were already there and although I think I was up on all
my shots I got one or two more vaccinations and an old school TB test were they scratched off
about dime sized piece of skin and then put something on the wound. There was no questioning
about getting the shots and tests we all got them end of story.

[Hieronymus Phact]

35. If only they were regarded with the urgency

If only they were treated with the urgency we treat a cancer in our bodies. Make fun of it all you want, but it will kill you.

[TigressDem]

52. Death Rate for UNVACCINATED age 50+ is through the roof. VAXXED are near the floor. LINK

https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/united-states-rates-of-covid-19-deaths-by-vaccination-status?country=~50%2B

[Botany]

55. Fine by me

Let them die. The best scientists in the world using some of the best technology and genetic information (thank bill Clinton.... human genome project) have found vaccines that will keep them alive and out of the hospital but they just know more about everything so fuck 'em.

There refusal to get vaccinated has allowed the C-19 virus to keep growing, mutating, and the disease to spread.

[TigressDem]

56. Darwin Awards to them all.... but they are keeping the disease alive and it threatens everyone. nt

[Maru Kitteh]

11. Best to get rid of as many magats & similarly ignorant dickheads

as possible. Yes. Purge. Purge away. Purge on.

[Midnight Writer]

30. Exactly. It is a discipline issue. You can't have someone arguing about nonsense in a war zone.

If they refuse to take their vaccines, what other orders are they going to refuse?

How much danger will they put their fellow soldiers in by refusing orders or believing indoctrination from the internet?

They are not fit to serve.

[sakabatou]

12. Funny, I don't remember getting a vaccine in the military was voluntary

I always thought it was/is, "You're getting this due to [x-disease] is still active, and [y-location] has [y-diseases]. You need a vaccine for those so you don't spread it to your fellow service members."

[Historic NY]

16. A sick soldier is worthless, a sick soldier spreading a disease is useless.

General Washington ordered inoculations of cowpox to stop the spread of smallpox in the army.

[appalachiablue]

20. +1

[relayerbob]

28. Not useless ... dangerous

A significant threat to his or her entire company, and possibly many more.

[geardaddy]

29. I would say, a sick soldier spreading disease

is dangerous.

[Historic NY]

60. Dr Samuel Adams came to my townin NY to help inoculate the troops ,

He spent some time with our then Town Supervisor, who was considered one of the most active wartime community servants. Dr. Adams inoculated his family that live a short distance from the encampment.

[link:https://allthingsliberty.com/2020/07/lessons-from-an-outbreak-smallpox-in-the-hudson-highlands-1781/|]

Dr. Samuel Adams wrote a brief entry in the diary he had kept throughout his service as a surgeon attached to the Continental Army’s artillery: “inoculated my waiter and three children of Mr. Smith for the smallpox.”[

[geardaddy]

64. That's cool!

Thanks for the history link!

[RAB910]

22. If you are afraid to be vaccinated you are no hero

[40RatRod]

26. As a young airman in line for all my shots many years ago...

...the man in front of me got his shot and staggered over to the wall and fell in the floor. When the Major giving the shots told me to roll up my sleeves I said "What if I don't want the shots" to which she replied, "OK then. I will charge you with insubordination and have you locked up in the stockade." I quickly rolled up my sleeve and for the next 20 years I rolled up my sleeves and never had a problem.

[relayerbob]

27. Purging due to their disobeying orders

Period

They should be getting dishonorable discharges, IMO

[FromNY]

31. USN here - people in the military live in very close quarters

Especially shipboard.

Ships are kept exceedingly clean to help prevent the spread of disease.

Sailors were stacked 3 high in the berthing compartments and racks were right next to one another when I was in.

[jmowreader]

33. They're not "heroes" if they refuse to obey orders

And to be very blunt, this whole “everyone in the military is a hero” thing is making me very uncomfortable. The term should be reserved for those who do heroic things. If Fox News would have watched me sit in a chair writing reports and making phone calls all day, they definitely wouldn’t have accused me of being a hero - but that’s what I did in the Army.

[Effete Snob]

34. This is a disinformation attack on our military readiness

[mahina]

43. This

⬆️

[republianmushroom]

37. Thank you Joe

[Submariner]

38. And my Chief never asked "which arm would you like your shot today?"

it gave me a feeling that he didn't give a damn about my feelings on the issue.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

42. Booth obviously has never served.

[spanone]

47. Our senator, marsha blackheart is harping on this every day....lying her ass off.

[multigraincracker]

48. Which FOX Bimbo was that?

Typhoid Mary?

[Sgent]

49. Wasn't at least one aircraft carrier

sidelined mid-deployment due to COVID -- and that was with taking precautions but pre-vaccine? The nation's premier war machine was stuck in port due to this disease.

[treestar]

54. Yes, remember that captain had to leave

since he refused to cooperate with whatever MAGA agenda and the rest on the ship applauded him?

[sarge43]

58. It was the USS Theodore Roosevelt

It was a monumental cluster coitus mainly due to the tfg and his lackeys "What pandemic? There's no pandemic. Besides, it's the Chinese fault."

One crewman died and over a thousand, including the captain, tested positive.

[xmas74]

50. I was on an Army base this summer

And the number of Dependas screaming about vaccines was insane. I can't imagine hearing the same crap 20 years ago

[TigressDem]

53. Yeah, he's Commander and Cheif and wants your sorry as*es alive, so quit yer bitchen.

My Dad was army and he had to get shots too.

And the repukes call US pu**ies.

[Skittles]

57. what part of MILITARY READINESS does do these Fox fuckers not understand

UGH

[littlewolf]

59. 20 years 14 days here

got all my shots if I wanted them or not
the option was UCMJ refusing an order
I hated some of em ... had to wait to give
blood 6 months because of one ... but
2 choices ... pick one ...
