They probably wanna get this all done before IPPS-A comes in September. Processing/tracking all those discharges during the three or four week cutover period would seriously suck.

Eason the Fifth posted:Which is real dumb because during processing in Parris Island you get injections for loving everything Yeah, this is a talking point I use on my anti-vax neighbors. If a vaccine was going to kill me, it would have been the peanut butter shot at Knox. Or like when I lost my shot record and got a whole round of shots again when I got to Korea. Or the anthrax vaccine. I'm still wasting air, vaccines haven't killed me yet.

Based on Army deadlines, I’d estimate a lot of units around have separated maybe 10-20% of the people who will ultimately be separated for COVID refusal by midsummer. Plus the guy getting chaptered for DWI, skipping work, harassing a woman online, and also covid refusal just gets booted for everything but COVID in most cases cause it is faster and captures the most egregious misbehavior.

Supposedly Polio is coming back in the third world because we're using oral vaccines there because "it's cheaper" and it causes the virus to be excreted in feces and gives it a transmission vector. Can't wait for Super Polio and an anti-vaxxer push against it because "it's just another ploy to get Bill Gates mind control nanites into you!"

A man believed to have worked with federal authorities to investigate the activities of Deutsche Bank and its ties with former President Donald Trump was found dead on an El Sereno high school's campus Monday. Uhhh... Wait what....? quote:His father had killed himself in 2014, and Valentin Broeksmit went on to share his father’s files with numerous journalists and government investigators, including a trip to an FBI office in Los Angeles, the newspaper reported. Grand jury investigating Donald Trump for criminal conduct will come to an end WAIT WHAT

Those have been around for forever and we know they don’t have any lasting negative effects. That’s the answer I’ve gotten from people I know that were in the military and got all the shots but are skeptical about the covid vaccine.

Both the anthrax and smallpox vaccines I got were experimental, and I wasn’t given a choice about either. The dryvaxx trial thankfully worked out alright. The anthrax shots stopped after I had got my first or second booster. Neither of those had quite as long a history as mRNA vaccines. We have more than a decade of results, and thanks to the past year and a half the largest sample size of any trial ever. They’re extremely safe and thoroughly tested.

Yeah, for sure. I understand why folks might have a knee-jerk reaction to it, especially the kind of people who might enlist (that is, people from poorer communities whose greatest experience with goverment-approved medical output was Perdue and the oxycontin crisis), but in the end, the covid vaccines have proved incredibly safe at large scales. That's usually my take when I talk to old vet buddies of mine, and while I don't think I've changed any minds about the vax or anything, understanding where they're coming from and showing empathy for what they believe seems to make the best in-roads between us and at least leaves them less hostile toward the idea of getting the shot. I think some beliefs are dumb, but I'm one of those fence-sitting shitheads with friends from the Marines and from lib-art grad school so I try to understand both sides even if I don't agree.

I personally feel more and more that the antivaccination movement is entirely a misinformation campaign from the country blaming COVID on other countries. Alleged screenshots from the informant from the night of his death. https://twitter.com/sarahcjohnson/status/1519464673698926592?t=VXEmCMzoZbUHxYWtXYTiNA&s=19

BIG HEADLINE posted:Supposedly Polio is coming back in the third world because we're using oral vaccines there because "it's cheaper" and it causes the virus to be excreted in feces and gives it a transmission vector. It’s complicated. OPV is indeed cheaper, but its other advantage over the inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) is that people immunized with OPV cannot harbor poliovirus in their guts. IPV is protective from symptoms like paralysis, but people immunized with it may catch subclinical infections of wild poliovirus and shed it in stool. The catch is that there is a chance (on the order of one in a couple million) that the weakened strain used in OPV can spontaneously regain pathogenic abilities, sickening the host and even spreading within the community. With wild poliovirus as rare as it is has been recently, cases of vaccine-associated paralytic polio (VAPP) can outnumber cases of paralysis from wild polio. This makes OPV unattractive. But again, IPV opens the door to silent hosts, so they both pose problems for eradication efforts. There was a time shortly before the turn of the millennium when the U.S. childhood schedule had IPV chased by OPV, the idea being that IPV would be protective against the threat of paralytic polio posed by OPV, with the OPV followup giving that coveted sterilizing immunity. When VAPP cases were observed not to decline, this schedule was discontinued. Here’s a slideshow presented at a meeting of CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices just prior to the coronavirus pandemic that goes over some of this.
