Flu sickens scores of troops at Air Force base in Texas after Pentagon ends vaccine requirement

In the wake of the outbreak, the Air Force requested an exemption to Hegseth’s policy that allowed them to mandate flu vaccines at the base, according to a second person familiar with the details of the response.

The base has since started vaccinating people

This is much more Ouroboros than leopards, but no such community....

Man back in my day you couldn’t refuse any vaccines. Even experimental ones. If you were ordered to take them then you took them. In basic it was just a line of shots in each arm and your buttcheek. Better than having the fucking plague break out in a group of hundreds of young people living in bunkbeds.

It's only for the flu, right? I'd bet they're still getting a kick of a cocktail before sent anywhere. Malaria is no joke.

I hope you're no longer a brownshirt, and doing everything you can to defeat Nazis.

Perhaps the ICE teams can be sent to the front lines for Trumps next invasion?

If it wasn't for the lack of requirement the same exact thing could happen and nobody would care
