I'm just going to label this one, "Stupid MAGA vaccine idiots"

It's not much fun here in the Sink since all the MAGA folks have left, cowardly one and all. 

Did anyone think the flu vaccine would be a political talking point? MAGA did.

Pentagon restores mandatory flu shots for all recruits as boot camp outbreak sickens nearly 300 - ABC News

"WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon said Wednesday that boot camps for all the military services are once again requiring the flu vaccination for all recruits after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the shot optional for the military at the end of April."

"Hegseth showed no such caution in April. “Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you,” he said, branding the old mandate “overly broad and not rational.”"

Not rational? Idiot.

"The development, confirmed to The Associated Press by a Pentagon official, comes amid a growing, weekslong, flu outbreak at the U.S. Air Force's boot camp at Lackland Air Force Base that has sickened nearly 300 people."

So predictable. The right-wing media and pundits frequently like to say, "follow the science", yet ignore 100 years of success based on science.

There's an mRNA flu vaccine coming. Where are the hospitalizations from the COVID mRNA vaccine that were supposed to happen? 

  Point #1 - the "MAGA" people who, as you say, "have left" not because they are "cowardly", they left because  they grew tired of your's and the other liberals who post here shit. Point #2 - giving people the option was and is a sensible thing to do - the shots may benefit some but others may have adverse reactions to the shots. I for one got terribly ill the only time I was talked into getting a flu shot. Never again will I subject my health to one of those damn things. Point# 3 - as usual YOU are always looking for something to bitch about, as you have done here. I can guarantee that if the flu shots were made mandatory in the armed forces and if some of those who were made to take the shot got ill, YOU would be right here bitching that this administration was wrong to make the flu shots mandatory. Point # 4 - That is who YOU are - a little bitch.
