Tucker Carlson claims the US military is purging 'Christians' and 'men with high testosterone'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Fox News host Tucker Carlson made his strongest anti-vaccine false claim to date on Monday night.

Similar to other monologues from the opinion host where he's trashed top US military leaders, Carlson alleged a baseless conspiracy behind the Department of Defense's COVID-19 vaccine mandate - only the latest approved shot in its longstanding vaccination requirement.

"The point of mandatory vaccination is to identify the sincere Christians in the ranks, the free thinkers, the men with high testosterone levels, and anyone else who doesn't love Joe Biden and make them leave immediately," Carlson said. "It's a takeover of the U.S. military."

Carlson did not present any evidence to back up his claims on testosterone levels, nor did he offer a working definition for "sincere Christians" and what that has to do with vaccines.

6. Hmm. Just a wild guess that cucker tarlson would not have to worry about being

thrown out of the military, or anywhere else, for "high t".

As for the reichwing talibangelicals, they can go to the hell they so devoutly, and fearfully, believe in.

7. If Carlson was in the military he'd be safe.

He's certainly not a "sincere Christian", and I doubt if his testosterone level would impress anyone.

The stupid is definitely strong in this one.

11. Defense Health Primer: Military Vaccinations

Updated August 6, 2021 ...

The U.S. military instituted its first vaccination program in 1777 when General George Washington directed the inoculation of the Continental Army to protect personnel from smallpox. Since then, DOD has implemented a variety of enduring or situational FHP measures to protect servicemembers from health threats. Certain vaccines are required for all servicemembers, while others may only be required for those deploying to particular locations. Other vaccines may be available based on public health recommendations or on a voluntary basis ...

Influenza

to be a regular viewer of his. To watch this day after day and not have anything better to do or to watch, you have to be really dumb, very shallow, completely vapid and empty. Lordy, you would be so tiresome to be around. Stay the fuck away from me, Tucker-viewers, my eyes would roll out of my head the first time you opened your mouth.

13. U.S. Military and Vaccine History

... Adenovirus

After World War II, the majority of acute respiratory disease cases among U.S. military trainees were the result of adenovirus infections ...

Maurice Hilleman, a microbiologist who would eventually be involved in the development of more than 40 vaccines, joined the U.S. Army Medical Center’s Department of Respiratory Diseases .. in 1948 ...

... when Hilleman and his group isolated viruses from the infected troops, they discovered that they had isolated not influenza virus, but multiple strains of a newly discovered type of virus ...

... two live-virus vaccines were developed ... These vaccines were unique in being produced as oral tablets ...

After extensive military studies, both vaccines were given to new military trainees “within hours after their arrival” at basic training beginning in 1971. In 1994, however, the vaccine’s manufacturer ended production of it, and all stocks were depleted in 1999. Outbreaks of acute respiratory disease caused by adenoviruses rose among military trainees following discontinuation of the vaccination program. In 2001, the Army provided funds to re-establish an adenovirus vaccine ...

14. Well, I guess you don't want to worry about being "purged" by the military

I don't think you have a problem with high testosterone.
