This video popped on my FB feed and I just can't stop laughing at it. https://fb.watch/7USOdAdx5p/

100% on all four. But also, why exercise? That is hard work. Why not just hope that you can rely on others to protect you by them making sacrifices... Sounds a lot like people on extended unemployment and welfare. I miss that concept of personal responsibility.

Like a baby. You should try it. 1. Exercise 2. Only read the news. Never watch it. 3. No screens after 10pm. 4. Stop being afraid. You're going to die anyway.

Yeah, great question, what are the long term effects of COVID? Because mid term and permanent damage is way worse than vaccination: Oh, the one thing that is higher risk in COVID vaccinated folks is Lymphadenopathy. Which is swollen lymph nodes. But enjoy the orders of magnitude more likely Kidney injuries, arrhythmia, and intracranial hemorrhaging because it “wasn’t worth the risk.”

The winning Powerball numbers for this week. The ratio of unicorns to leprechauns was probably off so that may be a factor. I seem to recall during vax development that boosters was put out as likely. Like yearly. Like forever. Anyway, I'm coming in hot because all I see these days is spouting of some podcast as fact, some media guy as gospel, etc., and people looking around at each other, hey, I heard something, do you hear something? Did your something come from a lefty or righty cause I only trust talk radio people that say they got covid and say they drank blue urinal cake water cause that shit kills anything. Try going to the sources; perhaps a peer reviewed journal and published scientific papers for example. I mean if you want to quote me as fact, try 8-12-22-53-62 PB 11 And by god if those are the numbers.....

Sounds like the same argument when we were forced to take the Anthrax series of shots, back in the day I had to travel to PSAB four times and got four boosters in one year. Now back then people had adverse reactions others got nothing, everyone's body is different. Some people eat Taco Bell and actually get plugged up. It may be useless it may help you , has anyone have the no BS skinny about these shots where our High School classmates who never left our hometown won't fact check you?

I honestly didn't realize we agree on this. Mandates are not the way. That's really the crux, isn't it? If you're not going to force me to make the same life decisions as you, we can disagree indefinitely and nothing of consequence happens as we each assume responsibility for our own personal risk assessment. I will concede that things may be far, far worse than I imagined. Someone waited "thousands of minutes" for a rural ER. I'm not laughing at the people waiting, I'm laughing at the media desperation.

I think the problem with your approach Scooter is from the outside looking it, it sounds like your only real interest here is your wife bitching about having to do her job. At the end of the day though, your not in any danger, your wife is not, (presuming you both are vaccinated) so its hard to understand what your frustration is other than you wife doesn't get a 15 minute smoke break anymore. If you want to honestly posit that you feel terrible for the X number people going to the ER with COVID thats fine, but realize you are more worried about this pandemic than those people are. They weren't even worried enough to get the vaccine. So at the end of the day you are empathetically stressing about something that really has no bearing on you. This isn't meant to be a hostile critique but just a recommendation for how you should consider your approach.

I would love to come over for dinner, but you strike me as a vegan. (I, kid) Honest question: Why would her coworkers, who have the same job, and see the same things she does, refuse to get vaccinated?

I should have said it differently. Don't sit and watch cable news and think you're informed. Televised news is designed to appeal to your emotions more so than written articles. I posted a Youtube clip that was embedded in an article of the CDC Director just so you can see and hear the same people that got you worked up over this are now walking back and changing the narrative. It won't be long until all your other narratives get the same treatment. In one sentence, you're "worry free". Immediately following that declaration, there's all this hand-wringing, stress, and frustration over the unvaccinated. You say you're not worried, yet every single thing you post outside of that statement indicates otherwise. "The healthcare shortage is going to make the pilot shortage look like child's play!" "You're gonna wait hours and hours for the ER!" "We're rationing healthcare! The AP says so!" Relax, man. You are going to be fine. Your wife is going to be fine. Did you not read the articles I posted links to from years prior? It's the same exact shit. Rationed healthcare, overflowing ERs, stressed healthcare workers... etc, etc, etc. All of it occurred prior to 2020, and will occur years from now. You can't run a healthcare system or any other industry with huge amounts of excess capacity (military industrial businesses excepted). There are ebbs and flows in demand across every industry.

Whatever helps you sleep better at night.

They've already kicked one person from the USMC for not getting the vaccine. As for the anti-abortion thing...hope you're not drinking Pepsi, consuming any Nestle products, and I hope you refused the MMR shot...all were tested using a fetal cell line called HEK-293, cultured from a fetus aborted way back in the 1970s.

https://apnews.com/article/business-health-public-health-coronavirus-pandemic-idaho-db21f9a14254996144e78aafb1518259 I’ll just leave this right here.

If they didn't know the vaccine would wane after 6 months, what else do they not know about it?

LOL. 3 minutes, 29 seconds. How are you not embarrassed by mindlessly parroting these "scientific truths" that are constantly changing? Try to keep up.

You can try...but the accommodation for your religion may be a pat on the back and a DD-214.

Yet you still continue to post.

At least 10 years of real-world data using voluntarily vaccinated as the sample. Then mandates must be proportional to the threat, so only mandates where they make sense. Hospitals and schools. Children when the disease actually threatens children. The severity of the disease is the true regulator of vaccination rates. If COVID-19 was killing people like SARS or MERS(10-30%), people would line up for the vaccine, just like they did in Feb/March when it came out and all the fat/old people who were most at risk went and got it. After 10 years of studying the vaccine effects, then you can make it mandatory as well as punish people on their insurance premiums if they won't get it. Disclaimer, I'm voluntarily vaccinated, so your stupid and hysterical arguments are not just ridiculous-sounding to the anti-vax crowd.

Good question. Unfortunately I suspect it will a substantial amount negotiated under the table and kept from the taxpayers by our spineless leadership who left them there in the first place.

Exactly that mentality is why military leadership is so bad. What you described is a lack of accountability to the vision. It comes from the mindset in the military that the right professional education and career "broadening" will produce good leaders, when in fact, for a lot of people who make it to Sq/CC and above, they just don't have what it takes. You can't run a huge organization without delegating, and delegating is an ongoing process. Keep cycling through people until you find the right one. But in the military we instead we cycle leaders out every two years regardless and "let [them] loose to figure it out" for that short amount of time. The results speak for themselves. Figuring out how to solve a SQ/GP/WG specific problem as the leader of that organization is great. Figuring out your own interpretation of the executive vision is not. Comply or step aside. An example: https://www.507arw.afrc.af.mil/About-Us/Biographies/Display/Article/2409725/colonel-michael-b-parks/ This guy got one of the worst climate assessment surveys in the AF when he was SQ/CC. 44 pages of comments of I remember correctly, almost entirely negative. I've never seen such a united disdain for a commander from the whole squadron, even the ones he was pushing for future command. Yet there he is... Rewarded. There are plenty of examples.

Here's the plan that was briefed to POTUS.

5-10 years, based on the historical timeline for vaccine discovery/testing/authorization. I’m down for cutting red tape (of which we know there’s a lot of), so that’s taken into account for the lower end of the range. Now, if we come across a virus that has a 69% death rate, then you bet your ass it’s worth the risk to EUA something as fast as possible. But that’s not what COVID is, despite so many people acting like it is.

My grandfather fought the Krauts and all he gets to show for it is some d bag German coming over to our UPT base and Q-3ing one of our guys? fuck that.

Not really…vaccinated spread the virus at nearly the same rate as unvaccinated (CDC/John Hopkins). This vaccine started at “97% keeps you from getting the virus” to “well it’s more like 40%…me scuzie, but your symptoms will be reduced!” That’s not to say the vaccine is a bad idea for many people, but it’s incorrect to blanket say people should get it to “help others.” I acknowledge that elderly and those who are unhealthy getting vaccinated will contribute to less ICU beds, and that does help others indirectly. But this generalized statement is misapplied to the low-risk demographics.

To add...don't see you as an enemy dude. You're free to post your opinions just like anyone else in this country, even if we disagree.

The Air Force hasn’t implemented a stop loss and approved my separation. They’ve done good work with that and a huge positive !!

This one's on CENTCOM as the COCOM. JCS probably had little to no influence on the operational planning for the evacuation. But there won't be any accountability there either.

For being the guy in the chair when the music stopped? Not sure I agree.

Let's be honest. This end-state for AFG was inevitable and was/is/has been a foregone conclusion. The notion that we were going to install a democracy there was absurd from day one. Period. Root cause = we defined success to be an unachievable goal from "go" - hence failure. It really is that simple. It's not Biden's fault we lost. It's not Trump's fault we lost. It's not Obama's fault we lost. It is Biden's fault we are losing in such an embarrassingly avoidable manner, however. That *is* his fault. We should be losing more gracefully.

Religious exemption is pretty straight forward regardless of your religion. The vaccines were all made leveraging abortion fetal cell lines. If you are against abortion, then this is an easy moral dilemma on supporting abortions by proxy. some may say, but it’s so far removed. Ok, Whatev. I’m not ready to benefit off the life an a murdered baby.

For obvious reasons. But he won’t. Gotta secure that lucrative post military defense contracting gig.
