Just because what took longer? The point is that those drugs had years and years of data behind them before they were forced on anyone. Decades in some cases. This was a vaccine with absolutely no data behind it, because it was invented in a matter of months before deployment, and the fucking thing didn't even work. Which should be all the proof that you need, because even if something isn't dangerous, you should not be forced to use it if it doesn't even do the thing you claim it does. To compare the covid vaccine mandate to other vaccine mandates is to be intentionally ignorant of the differences.6 points

He's about as pro-Putin/Russia you can get as an American short of actually owing a dacha outside Moscow. Actually appeared on RT in 2014 defending Putin's seizure of the Donbas and Crimea. His talking points on Carlson's shows have been re-broadcast on RT. He's consistently argued that Ukraine is on the verge of defeat during the entire war. He further stated that Russia was "too gentle" in the opening phase of the invasion, something that the citizens of Bucha probably disagree with. I understand that there's people who don't support us helping Ukraine (for various reasons) but I truly can't understand how anyone outside of Russia can be supportive of Russia's actions during this war.3 points

Learn from the covid failure and move on. That's it. I will not wear masks again to the 7-11. I'll wear one in a hospital, if they make me. I took the vaccine under good faith (retired, no one made me). Now the government, will have one less person willing to give our civilian leaders and the government (city, state, federal, doesn't matter) the benefit of the doubt on the next big "safety" problem they throw at us. If anything, the Covid debacle has taken what little faith I had in our civilian leadership and flushed it down the toilet. I dont trust them to do whats right. They just want my money and freedom.3 points

Any of the more seasoned folks on here ever heard of this Colonel? https://ambaker9.wixsite.com/vdpcc/2022grandmarshall?fbclid=IwAR2KGTZa_g7M3v63qi5XkjU0dWSuaTKnT_OnJL56l5IQyLnbdZG7We9r_w4 Bunch of possible flags on this one. 1975 as a female flight engineer? Have been told they didn't exist yet. Then on to 'OCS' and eventually F-16s. Made Major as a 16 driver but crossed over to helicopters. Flew three different airframes to include the huey (not the flight school model), the 53, and finished in the 60. Many deployments to Desert Storm, Afghan, and Iraq. Even got shot down in a 60 as a full bird flying misssions in Afghanistan rescuing a bunch of Army rangers from which she was injured and confined to a desk.2 points

Decades of data isn't important? I was thinking earlier when speaking to my wife, Big Pharma may have won this one with regards to profits, but I think the skepticism that they have caused for a large portion of the population may cause them to lose in the long run unless aided by the government and CDC with regards to mandatory vaccinations for children to attend public school. For my daughter, five years old now born in 2018, I never questioned any of the vaccinations because I received all of mine and had no issues. I even thought those against vaccines were completely off base. During and post covid due to the forced vaccinations I started doing research, including The Real Anthony Fauci, which I highly recommend. I have a two month old son and am questioning some of the thought here by the official recommendations. For myself, born in 1984, I required DTP, OPV, MMR, and Td. That is four vaccines. Look at someone born in 2018 it is now 15 different vaccinations and 72 doses. The first, HepB is given at birth and was designed for homosexual men who were having intercourse to prevent the spread of the virus. Why does a newborn need that? Answer - In 1986 a law was passed giving vaccine manufacturers legal immunity. Don't you think that to be odd?2 points

Can't speak to the rest of her bio, but whenever I read/hear someone say "classified missions", my BS meter pegs. This is particularly true if it's a pilot that says that. Guys that ran classified missions don't put that in their bio. Well, except for SEALs. Those guys get issued a literary agent when they graduate BUDs.2 points

Flu: Approved in 1945 for non-mil use after ~15 yrs of dev Anthrax: Russia created in 1930, US in 1950s, current version created in 1960s after decades of dev Malaria: First version in 1830, current day developed in 1970s Covid: Dev’d in 6-11 months (depending on country), without traditional rigors of testing met 3/4 of the ones you mentioned have been dev’d, tested, and refined over an average of 41 years before anyone in the mil currently received them. One of the above was extremely rushed to say the least, shoved down millions of throats with unknown/TBD short and long term effects. Simultaneously, data at the time already demo’d people under 50ish who were generally healthy were as a whole generally not affected by COVID in any meaningful way. This of course has been double stamped, and now triple stamped (can you do that!?), proven by today. So, there was no reason to resist the 40+ year vaccines/pills, where as there were/are objective reasons to resist a COVID vaccine, neither of which have any link to politics whatsoever. Then of course one can easily throw in all the questionable shit the gov and big pharma did, but that’s outside the scope of this specific response. None of this is to say people who did wish to get the vaccine are bad or idiots or whatever. You do you based on your own assessment and in conjunction with your doc’s rec if you value that. Forced vaccine was reckless, even in the mil.2 points

Don't get me started. It used to be that there was one cure-all treatment for all ailments. Got Leprosy? Aunt Flo causing you abdominal pain? A case of the melancholy? No problem, a little blood-letting will clear that all up. Now George Soros and the Illuminati are using Big Medicine to sterilize the serfs with shit like x-rays, and antibiotics. Why? Because there's no money in blood-letting, that's why. Odd, no?1 point

That sucks about your Congressman @mcbush. The only time I ever reached out to mine (Sen Mike Rounds from South Dakota), I went to his website, followed the contact procedure, and had a staffer reach out to me by the end of the day. Problem was solved in 3 days. I was actually shocked at how well it went.1 point

There is a very wide gulf between "Ukraine is struggling as this war continues" and "Russia is stronger now than they were before the invasion". There's probably some merit in the idea that Russia can eventually win just through sheer weight of manpower. I don't see any merit in the idea that they're better off militarily now than they were in 2019...1 point

I get where you’re coming from and if circumstances surrounding the shot were different I would agree with your logic. However the conspiracy theorist isn’t encouraging me to give this shot to my pregnant wife. Whoever is (FDA, Pfizer, CDC, etc) should sell me on both necessity and safety. If you’re buying a car and someone tells you “that car is unreliable” the salesmen could reply “you prove it!” But you don’t have to buy the car unless you want to; if the salesman wants to make a sale he should probably convince you to buy it. To continue this analogy, in the crazy world of C19 vaccines the salesmen have convinced the government to force you buy it while also censoring true facts indicating the car is unreliable.1 point

If someone makes a claim, especially a claim with a specific percentage in it, and you prove that the claim was impossible to make with the provided data, you are not then required to go through the data and come up with a corrected claim. The 44% claim was debunked. It is now on the conspiracy theorist to provide a newer number, this time with adequate support.1 point

So lets get back to the complete douche nozzle occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The National Archives which went to great lengths punish the Orange man sat on a FOIA request for 14 months since admitting they have nearly 5400 emails then Vice President sent using multiple pseudonym accounts (Robin Ware, Robert L. Peters and JRB Ware), on government servers. 14 months after acknowledging they have the emails they have yet to produce a single email in violation of federal law.1 point

lol Name an atrocity committed in which the people in charge didn't have the legal authority (granted to themselves by themselves) to do horrible things. "I was just following orders..." Integrity first? What freaking military are you in? Zero people at the top have any integrity. I respect anyone who lied or cheated to get out of masking or vaccines. They were right, even if they were legally wrong. I should have just slipped someone some money to squirt the shot onto the ground.1 point

So...a couple high profile cases are more compelling to you than any actual statistical data? I'm not going to keep arguing it with you. You've found a topic you're passionate about, and you won't be convinced otherwise. Unlike you, I can be convinced by data...and it turns out there's a lot of studies that show people who hold emotional views not only can't be swayed by data, they actually just dig in as you present data contrary to their opinion. Dont get vaccinated. Don't get your kids vaccinated. I don't care.1 point

Achievers are still out there. My kid is a junior in high school and wants to be a fighter pilot (god help me). I've taken his circle of friends camping a bunch and I always ask what they want to do when they grow up, through the years they have remained constant once they got off the NASCAR driver football player track. Two want to be military officers (one of those a military doctor), one a computer programmer (making games), one can already weld like a pro and he wants to be a heavy equipment operator, the last one wants to design rockets for SpaceX. Three play football and the others run cross country. Here is the really surprising part to me, my son is all AP and honors with a 4.43 GPA but there are 41 kids with higher GPA's above him out of 650+ in his year group. Have any of you looked at how hard it is to get into some Universities these days? Average GPA at some of the big Florida schools: U of Florida - 4.41, Florida State University - 4.07, UCF - 4.05, U of Miami 3.6 (unweighted). There are achievers in the next generation, don't believe the hype.1 point

He was my ex-wife’s Tweet Flt/CC at XL years ago. I flew with him at Fairchild years later when he was the Wing Exec/Patch and he turned around while we were flying and told me how terrible she was in UPT. I told him she was “terrible” enough to fly slick -130s flying LL, assaults, etc., while he flew a jet built when Eisenhower was POTUS in an anchor. He’s no Rat, but he’s the typical MAF douche.1 point

In your analogy, the dealer said the car's reliable. You said it only has 3 wheels. The dealer says "look, you can see all 4 wheels right here". Then you said "it doesnt matter if it has all 4 wheels, it's still unreliable".0 points

Apples to oranges and even I know that. The Ukraine - Russia relationship is not like any relationship we've had as a nation beside possibly with England (though even thats not really the same). There were about 3 to 5 million Russians living in Ukraine before the war started. They speak the same language and were part of the same Nation (USSR) for many years. Not the same situation at all. But, to play your game/question ... If we were about to be completely obliterated and the invader offered us a chance to keep most of the US intact but give back part of the region that already had many of "their people" living there, I'd negotiate peace.0 points

Ukraine has about 500k dead and injured now, so it’s def not going well for them. If you listened, he does at least acknowledge the complexity and huge risk of not working on a peace deal sooner than later. Again I’m not sure how in the know he is, but he’s pointing out the obvious fact that Ukraine is not winning. He thinks we’re essentially destroying a nation by encouraging them not to seek peace. On the last point, he seems correct for sure.0 points

I have no idea on retired Col Mcgregors pedigree, but he makes some interesting points. He thinks Russia’s military is stronger now, after more than a year of war in Ukraine than it’s been in over 30 years. Increased war production capability and renewed national resolve. Has our plan to weaken and undermine Russia backfired spectacularly? https://x.com/tuckercarlson/status/1693761723230990509?s=460 points
