Hegseth is the one who allegedly doesn’t wash his hands and doesn’t believe in germs. He should be removed from power.
If you drink enough, the germs seem to stay away
Lol. Wasnt sure whether to read this as ‘you get so drunk you dont notice anymore’ or ‘you reach a bac that kills even the germs’.
Mm-hmm, less you think about it, more you drink about it, the more it works
[Edit: some say you can get bleach or even light into the body, for these problems, and maybe we should be doing that]
Some of the vodka splashes on his hands.
he hasa glamour room in the pentagon to do all the makup for him, no need to do it himself.
citing the need for bodily autonomy for servicemembers
Also Hegseth,
No more beardos. The era of rampant and ridiculous shaving profiles is done.
He knows what he is.
Yeah I can tell you there are a pile of pissed off airmen . Btw 160 is a small percentage of the airmen on a base. But it’s still going to piss a lot of people off.
Edit: I was told this is Lackland . The only base where new Airmen are trained. This is a good percentage of the airmen on that base who are going through training. Yeah, they’re gonna be a lot of pissed off airmen. And a lot of pissed off instructors. OK, technically you’re not an airman until you get through training because you’re a trainee at that point. But I’m old-school so I will still call them airmen
It’s not even flu season, we can pump those numbers wayyy up this fall!
160 is a good portion of the basic trainees. And I’m sure it’s not done spreading yet.
Oh shit! I didn’t realize this was Lackland. Oh hell, yeah there’s a lot of pissed off basic trainees. Thank you for the catch on that.
On the upside: If the US ever declares war against us Europeans, we just need do the smallpox-blanket thing again.
Just cough on us.
Kinda of interesting that not more profilic antivaxxers die from preventable diseases tbh. I wonder if they get vaccinated in secret.
Many of them were vaccinated as kids, so they don’t suffer from their stupidity and instead inflict it upon their kids and othe people.
They benefit from herd immunity. Which wouldn’t exist without vaccines. Many of the older ones were also vaccinated as a kid so they are also protected. The ones that usually die from preventable diseases are their children. You can see that with the measles and whooping cough outbreaks that happened in the last few years.
Oh cool, I feel like I’ve heard this story before… Something about a flu and an outbreak at a military base.
A long time ago though. Like probably just a little over a hundred years (at least for the flu).
Hegseth drinks his own piss
It is almost as if Iran had written the vaccination guidelines for the US air force.
Imagine if someone qualified to run the DoD was actually running the DoD.
I think you mean, Department of War (0/1)
Nah. That’s only a temp name.
What’s the name of that Curb your enthusiasm song?
Back to the civil war days where more soldiers died of infections in camp than in combat.
He does usually have the highest grasp of clinical practice, so this is aone off blip, nothing to do with flu. No further questions!.. /s
Nice
I’m not coming to Hegseth’s defence (sorry, “war”) but I’ve had my flu jab every year for the last 30-something years, and it doesn’t prevent you getting flu, it can just make it milder.
It can certainly prevent large outbreaks when we’re talking close quarters contact like between people in the military.
Same as the Covid vaccine: It makes it less likely that you’ll catch it (though not bringing it down to 0%), and just as importantly, makes you less contagious if you do catch it.
The outbreak-stopping effect becomes strong when everyone is vaccinated. It doesn’t prevent every individual from becoming infected, but it inhibits disease spread through the population.
No, I know - I’m just worried that people will read the headline and think it makes you completely immune. It’s also based on what is calculated to likely be the most virulent strain of flu each year, but obviously there are many and they mutate. Even with 100% vaccination rates, some flu is going to be going around and some pitchfork-wielding, dribbling idiots will kick off saying that vaccination “doesn’t work”.
