Nearly 40% of Marines have declined Covid-19 vaccine

The Spanish Flu, which never originated in Spain, was spread throughout the world by the military.

The Spanish Flu was also much more deadly because it affected young people.

Young healthy population gets the CCP Virus and they become herd immunity numbers.

In so far as it’s not a traditional vaccine but a gene therapy that’s never been implemented on a broad scale—they are most definitely experimental.

Or maybe you can educate us on some of their long term side effects.

There are none. In the 90's, it was experimental. They found that using synthetic RNA cured the problem with massive immune responses from the vaccine. Obama put hundreds of millions of dollars into the technology when he was POTUS

RW nutjob trigger warning: I wonder how brave our fighting ppl really are if they are afraid of a vaccine.

With Covid rampant in the military, perhaps they think that their antibodies will last forever?

[Althea]

I should pull up those old polls when Trump was President. You know,....the ones put up by board lefties asking if they thought it was safe to take what they called the rushed into production TRUMP VACCINE? Lots of lefties said NO WAY. Now.... its all different. Gee,...wonder why?

Words matter......people do not forget what was said even if you wish they did. Fucking maggot hypocrites.

Nobody called it the trump vaccine. He had nothing to do with it.

It was the trump virus.

There is no "covid rampant" in the military. Here: https://www.defense.gov/Explore/Spotlight/Coronavirus/

That's because it WAS rushed into production.

Trump should have gotten it going months sooner but he was more concerned with denying the seriousness of the pandemic in order to keep his poll numbers up than getting a handle on the virus.

Besides, Trump had proven himself to be such an incompetent screw up so many times, nothing he had any involvement in was trustworthy.

Correct. He made it an election issue, which he did with everything. As such, it was impossible to believe anything he said. He constantly contradicted the scientists w/regard to current vaccine data.

[Althea]

Agreed. AstraZeneca doesn't meet FDA standards. Even the standards weakened by Trump....which says a lot!

AZ has been screwing up since the first trials. Perfect illustration of rushing to market.

You lose the right to control your body when you join the military. The govt. owns you.

Where are you getting this nonsense from Althea? This is not correct at all.

[Althea]

But it is the SAME vax now that it was then..........you lying asshole!

There are two different types of vaccine. Production means actually manufacturing the vaccines. Not developing the science. Said science was proven effective under Obama.

[Althea]

Opie thinks COVID is no worse than the flu and that masks don't work. He's had several threads on the subject....some of which he's asked to be closed because they proved to be too personally embarrassing for a self-proclaimed medical expert.

The US Navy had to sideline a deployed aircraft carrier because of COVID. I fail to see how the services are not ensuring all of their personnel are properly vaccinated since it's a matter of national defense.

Further, they tried to hide the outbreak, and got rid of Crozier for daring to protect his men.

Really lol?

What other mRNA vaccines were around before this year?

[Althea]

Hint: the building part is novel and a kind of gene therapy.

Novel, and more safe than egg based vaccines.

You are correct. But trying to explain science to the willfully-ignorant is probably a lost cause.

There is no herd immunity without a vaccine.

Really lol?

This is the first large scale rollout of mRNA vaccines, which were proven safe and effective when Obama invested hundreds of millions into the final stages of development.
