For myocarditis episodes.

What's the baseline risk without Covid or the vaccine?

You already lost that one. Assuming you want to stay employed by the Air Force. Or most major airlines.

I already put my money on annual shots at some point.

I doubt it. I think you'd move the goalposts again. Just like all the people who weren't going to get an unapproved vaccine pivoted to religious arguments and debating the approval process after Pfizer got FDA approval.

I'll take that bet. I wouldn't be surprised if it becomes an annual requirement like the flu shot.

So in five years, no one will fight getting the vaccine?

So we're solving our experience problems by starting the commitment clock before folks finish UPT? What a very USAF solution.

They were linked to the Trump campaign in 2016 and taken to court for "political spying". A few of the videos have been shown to be edited in dishonest ways. That said...they've gotten some interesting soundbites out of liberals over the past few years, including Bernie's campaign manager claiming they'd set a major city on fire if he didn't win the nomination (I think it was Minneapolis, but I could be wrong.)

I'm suggesting that even being positive for Covid or being exposed to someone who is has the potential to make someone undeployable for a period of time.

They unvaxxed status wasn't hurting readiness because they're all healthy...or because the unvaxxed population is small enough that we can compensate?

Not flying related, but Air Force related... Command and Control will scare the shit out of you regarding nuclear weapons. He traces the USAF relationship with nukes from Hiroshima to modern times, interspersed with a minute-by-minute account of a Titan missile explosion just outside Damascus, Arkansas. Apparently our leadership valued reliability over safety so much that, at one point, they told the president it would be better to lose an American city to an accidental detonation than a weapon malfunction if we dropped them on Russia.

I've seen some of what he talks about right here in the forums.

Because its a readiness issue. Death isn't the only downside to Covid. Having unvaccinated folks quarantine for weeks at a time whenever they come into contact with someone who tests positive for Covid makes it tough to get anything done.

Ah. I got like 12 over my career because I never completed the full sequence.

Anthrax?

Do you feel the same about all the other vaccines you've taken?

Seriously...the MDG should just print some Comirnaty labels for the holdouts.

I'll get it when they tell me to. I mean, I haven't screamed that the flu vaccine is useless since I need to get that every year, so...

I got mine back in May. Haven't kept track of the labeling since then.

If you're that obsessed with the label, go get it a Walmart, or CVS, or whatever your local pharmacy is.

I didn't vote for Biden.

Well, sounds like people who refuse the vaccine will get the chance to voluntarily separate with an honorable discharge. At least, that's the latest from my corner of AETC. So I guess that's kind of like quitting the military if you really disagree with it.

We do make Comirnaty here. It's the same drug. I guess Pfizer could have just printed a few million stickers for the existing batches of vaccine...but then I'm sure someone would claim that THAT was also somehow a cover-up.

I tend to base my voting choice on how I think policies will affect me and my family, and to am extent, the country. I don't base my vote on the sexual escapades of the candidates.
