No one asked if I wanted a vaccine [View all]
Back in another lifetime, I found myself in Fort Dix, NJ for basic training.
Day one, we were issued uniforms. Day two, we took off those uniforms and walked in a row between doctors and medics on both sides of us. Everyone in line was getting jabbed in both arms with perhaps a dozen or more shots to protect us from ... everything in the world, I suppose. No one asked us if we wanted those shots.
(I didn't mind the shots, but I did mind the barracks which were built for "temporary" use during WWII and are still standing as far as I know. Turns out, the toilets had no stalls. There were about 8-10 thrones lined up out in the open. This was cultural shock at its maximum. But you can get used to anything. By the second day, no one cared. Do you suppose today's MAGAs would claim that their "Freedom" required a stall?)
