Thanks to Trump, troops are no longer forced to get experimental vaccines
This actually has nothing to do with any policy from the Trump administration, it’s just a by-product of the rampant TDS in society. Since the COVID vaccine was developed during Trump’s tenure, people don’t trust it. Whether that wariness is warranted or not is beside the point. The US military has a long tradition of force feeding the troops vaccines of dubious safety. Until COVID that is, the disease that’s so horrific we’ve shut down the global economy (except for China, they’re positively booming!).
Sixteen sites around the world are preparing to administer the military’s first doses of COVID-19 vaccine to health care workers and other essential personnel, as soon as the Food and Drug administration approves the two-dose Pfizer regimen for emergency use.
Using the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s plan for vaccination priorities, the Defense Department will vaccinate uniformed and civilian health care workers first, before working their way down through a plan that later includes critical national security units, troops preparing to deploy outside the country and so on.
“We expect to have shots in arms of DoD personnel within 20 to 48 hours from the time the [FDA advisory panel] issues its final recommendation,” Thomas McCaffery, the defense under secretary for health affairs, told reporters on Wednesday.
DoD expects to get 44,000 initial doses of the vaccine, which will initially go to 13 U.S.-based sites, and three overseas, where officials have determined there are both the conditions to store them properly as well as enough highest-priority personnel to make use of them.
Those could go out as soon as next week, McCaffery said, as the expectation is that FDA will meet and render its decision sometime this week.
Once the supply chain gets rolling, vaccines will be sent force-wide.
Nearly all of those initial doses will go to health care workers and other medical or counseling staff, including reservists and Guardsmen.
A “very, very, very limited” number of them will go to senior department officials, Lt. Gen. Ronald Place, head of the Defense Health Agency, said.
Make no mind that the number of senior department officials is also very, very, very limited.

anyone else remember the oh so necessary and yet completely useless Anthrax vaccine?
Yeah, testing on the user population works with software, but it is quite stupid with medicine.
But, our clerisy has spoken, the all powerful and all knowing companies they derided just 12 months ago as “big pharma” are now saints.
The way the minds of the left work reminds me of 4 year olds or the Orwell’s 1984.
Yep. Forced, under penalty of discharge, to take an experimental vaccine, with severe side effects, that really didn’t protect you.
And the senior brass exempted themselves from taking it.
And people wonder why there is no trust in vaccines.
Remember it?
“I CAN’T HEAR YOU OVER MY TINNITUS!!!!!!!!!!”
(Advance apologies to anyone who just got “triggered” by reading this and if you are truly affected, you’ll get it, and by get it, I mean pissed off at me in 3…2…1… LOLOLOLOL>
If I have to suffer so do you…I’m not even going to discuss the documentation I was given by a friend who got it from a flight surgeon at Malcom Grow hospital at Andrew AFB, and I found on the Internet before it was scrubbed by the DOD/FDA/CDC reporting system, VAERS, which discussed suicide, depression, anxiety, migraines, vision problems, etc) 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕
I don’t know that the anthrax was useless. It protected a lot of sheep shaggers at Ft Sill from disease.
Lawton Oklahoma where men are men and sheep are scared.
One has to wonder if the Chinese Communists have read Clancy’s “Rainbow Six” tome? Good chance that a group of Saudi Arabians did read his “Debt of Honor.” The Chinese Communist’s economy in Communist China IS booming, according to many sources of news (and not just Fox or OAN). You will NEVER convince me that this was NOT a deliberate and calculated attack by the Chinese Communists on the rest of the world. It is a known fact that the Communist Chinese had exactly ZERO respect for human life and the goal of the Chinese Communists is world domination. And the Capitalists of the Chinese Communist Party are laughing all the way to the bank. Just as are the domestic enemies of our country in Big Business and big grubmint who are anticipating a return to the graft and corruption returning with the theft of this last “election.” Lot of talk on how much this “vaccine” is going to cost, who’s gonna pay for it, and who’s gonna get the FIRST (hr 2 Hack Stone) shots. I say send the whole bill for it to the Chinese Communists that released this Kraken on the world. There was a blurb on the news, this morning, that the “3rd World Countries” think that they will be left out of the vaccine because the “rich countries” will be able to pay more for it. What was the joke that little Bernadette made on The Big Bang show…”…and in one day we not only developed a new disease, we developed a cure for it.” I know that things have changed in the military since 50 years ago, but who remembers being told to line up, with your shot records in hand, and herded thru the assembly line process of being injected with who knows what all? And NOT having any say so on whether or not you could handle that injection? Or watching the arm being ripped on the guys in front that flinched when the new fangled air guns that used for some of them? Or multitudes of troops having bad reactions, some… Read more »
This was from a little bit back (2 weeks). Odd how it’s moving to the forefront now…just like the Crackhead Hunter Biden investigations.

Swine flu shots…good times.
Desert Storm and “voluntary” botulimum toxix” vaccines.
Good times
The mandatory flu shot kicked my ass every year, until I developed a strange, intermittent allergy to poultry products. Oddly, this would manifest itself right around the time the corpsmen showed up with the vaccine.
No more flu shots.
Never had an issue with the flu shot, but the nasal spray flu vaccine triggered the worst asthma attack in my life. I was not informed that that you can’t take that if you have asthma.
That nasal spray was easily the worst vaccine experience of my life. The clinic must have got a lot of negative feedback because they were back to the shot for everyone the next year.
I’ve been listening to some podcasts on these two vaccines; the Pfizer one and the Moderna one. They scare the fuck out of me. One(Pfizer)uses RNA, which has never been done before to my knowledge. The other(Moderna)uses mRNA which is willfully reckless. The chances of it expressing in YOUR DNA are not insignificant. It’s virtually asking for autoimmune disease, cancer, or who in hell knows what else? Both companies, according to a research doctor I was listening to are keeping most of the study data to themselves and away from the public. One vaccine company didn’t even study whether one iteration of the vaccine even prevented transmission, only whether it made the disease less severe. It seems to be the second and third shot that really gives some volunteers significant side effects. They are scary and in some cases ultimate. Most everyone spikes a more severe fever in the followup, which begs the question is it even necessary if you are mounting that much of an immune response? The damned virus seems to involve T-cells more than B-cells, which are the ones that make your antibodies so I can’t see how it imparts any kind of lasting immunity. It’s all very screwy. If we’ve learned anything from this mess it’s that there are no ‘experts’ in the public policy sector. I’m not real hopeful that the Pharma sector is geared up with the kind of people who want to do much more than keep their paycheck coming either. It seems that improving care(which they have)would be a smarter strategy for a disease that a majority of people survive when they contract it. I listened to another research doc talking about how effective ivermectin(an anti-helmintic or worm medicine)was in both preventing and treating the disease if administered early with again; vitamin D and zinc. I know they were doing that down under in Australia and New Zealand. Dammit, I don’t know what to believe or think anymore. I sure as hell don’t want this vaccine until about six months have elapsed. I do know that. Interesting how pushy they are getting… Read more »

Yup. I’m no doctor, but it’s an industry that’s only a decade or so old. Britain’s COVID vaccine authorization is the first ever for an RNA/mRNA vaccine.
Of course, being a new technology it could just be alarmism. Like how tons of people are worried that GMOs are causing problems, without realizing that every cultivated crop we consume has been genetically modified (albeit by the slower selective and cross breeding methods).
My wonder is why is the “Government” exempting so many people from this requirement if it is so good? Do they know something they aren’t telling us?
I recall getting the GG shots when they weren’t sure what we were going to face (It was like a big marble in your buttocks). And Anthrax, boosters for smallpox…and several other things on and during deployments.
I also read the story about a few Hospital workers with sever allergies having reaction, so now they say people with allergies (severe…epi pen requiring) should not get the vaccine. They of course were not in the test group (which I can see why they wouldn’t be).
I think I will try and wait on this one too! Even though I get a Flu shot each year.
Dilemma:
The ChiComCoof attacks with greatest vigor the folks who have the most pre-existing health issues.
Vaccines tend to produce the worst side effects in folks with pre-existing conditions.
When you rush a vaccine to market to save lives, there isn’t much track record of long-term use effects.
Folks are dying now, and more will die without a vaccine.
Ouch.
Discuss your vaccine options with your doctor. Beware the rumors, pro and con.
Assuming folks in Pharma are all scheming moneygrubbers who don’t care about people is very similar to assuming all military folks are retarded
drooling slope-forehead killers (DSFK) with profound stability issues.
Did we want a vaccine very-safe or very-quick? At some point, one has to be reduced for the other.
So don’t throw too many stones at the folks who tried to give us what we demanded, “vaccine soonest!”
My assumptions are based on two decades of experience working with them. I watched them change.
I’ve dispensed of a number of intravenous study drugs. Out of all of them, only two became actual drugs to be used later. One was Synercid.
Over those years I saw a growing number of new agents come on to the market with fanfare, then be quietly withdrawn as people were hurt, and court cases were settled and sealed.
Yeah, you are correct; the people at large are going to get just exactly what they asked for. A warp speed vaccine monkeying with things one should not monkey with quickly.
I understand the implications biochemically of introducing foreign RNA and/or mRNA to a patient’s DNA. This vaccine is going to require YOUR bio-mechanic processes to replicate itself.
You know any other vaccines that need to do that? I don’t.
When I was in this we knew who made what we dispensed. You can’t even fucking find that out anymore.
Yeah, I’m going to assume the worst about the people working on this, and change my mind later if it’s warranted. Especially when there are absa-fuckin-lute treatments that are saving lives, and are being squashed by the very people I am referring to.
There are docs in front of The Senate today bitching about the same thing, and that they are being hounded by legal professionals while they are saving skins. They save skins, those cocksuckers come for theirs.
Yeah, I’m hopeful.
With the ‘don’t give a shit’ attitude I saw last so long as they could surf the net and shop while they were supposed to be working I gotta work with what I last saw.
The tenor of that reads a little more harsh than I intended. Maybe I contracted the PTSD talking about it.
What is really bothering me is that the disease is T-cell dependent. B-cells(make antibodies)in military terms would paint the target. T-cells would be the device that neutralizes the belligerent.
It’s one of the reasons we don’t have a vaccine for HIV.
I hope there is some adult supervision with this. The blackout, and the media being iron fist-fucked by a bunch of woke tech oligarchs is not making me any more calm.
I am in the pharma business, and at least my cohort go to great lengths to do right by our patients. Ethically challenged folks get shown the door. One can do well by doing -right-.
Kinda cool.
I agree that some folks pervert that relationship. Smite them. Smite with gusto.
A whole bunch of folks have maximized the terror of a flu-like bug to sieze power and make changes. “No effective vaccine” continues that. So I have a -very- skeptical view of all the anti-vax stuff on the current quest. Kinda convenient, eh? But we did shorten the cycle. And new stuff is part of it. New stuff is -always- risky. So I am also concerned we got buffaloed.
We asked Pharmas to make billions of dollars of stuff well before it was proven, so that when it was approved we could ship immediately, not wait to make. Naturally, they wanted guarantees they would be paid. Naturally they want protections from lawers if the rushed stuff has longer-term side effects.
Good/fast/cheap. Pick two
Screw up and maybe one, or none.
Root cause of the fuss was politicizing the equivalent of a flu-bug with stronger than normal effects and way-high median age of lethality. That the highest casualties track with the highest politicization and power-grabbing speaks volumes to any with a brain.
Cuomo should be in jail, not office. Newsome has about two steps left to “dictator”.
If we stop the command economy crap, and punish those who fraud, most of the major problems go away.
And most of the media are willing accomplices to the oligarchs.
Most stuck their asses in the air and wiggled, for both oligarchs and Donks. Zero sympathy.
I was away for nearly 24 hours. True that. I might be a little biased because of my personal experiences in 2 huge teaching hostpitals. I was an I.V. admix/critical care/sometimes O.R. satellite clinical pharmacist. I worked in the testing and approval process when I was working the main I.V. room. The other med I took part in that was approved was an anticoagulant for sepsis induced thromboses, which turned into yet another boondoggle about ten years after approval. Of course, I was only one of many others like me doing the same thing in other hospitals, and often it was double blinded and I didn’t even know if I was dispensing the agent or placebo, or even some other approved treatment it was being tested against. Those were the only two I gleaned that had been approved. I got sick and had to bow out. That’s why only 20 years. That no one seems to know why or be willing to divulge the push away from recombinant vaccines, to introducing RNA, or mRNA strands is something that bothers me, that’s all. The blackouts with info could be proprietary. If so, it’d be nice if they said that. It could be they are quiet for that reason and are about to come out with the greatest thing since Sir A.F. discovered penicillin. Or not. I don’t know. I’ve lost faith in nearly everything but The Deity. I’m just pretty angry that early intervention outpatient treatments that doctors are innovating; which is what doctors do, are not only being ignored, but willfully and aggressively squashed. If your in Pharma then you know how many Rxs have been repurposed over the years for things that aren’t even in the same orbit of what they were intended for. I’d like to see that be allowed to flourish with this as well. In full disclosure, I was taken out by an autoimmune issue. It was possibly brought on by being inocculated with the full battery for employement 3 times in five years as I changed jobs. I asked for titers. They simply took the… Read more »
Saltpeter anyone?
Forgive me. I’ve lived in my head so long I assume everyone knows exactly what I mean when I type something. By saying that I think it appears the virus may be weakening I mean becoming less lethal.
When viruses spin out in the wild they typically become more contagious but less lethal with each newer mutation. That is what I was referring to.
BL Thanks for all the info you’ve put out up there. Got more straight intel in those posts, than from the whole damn inherwebz. You da man! Keep the hits a’coming.
