The idiots all took multiple vaccines when they joined the military now they can't take orders from their superiors to get the covid vaccine?

Screw 'em.

Lord knows there's plenty of them out there, but is there any value to Democrats reading

The man clearly hasn't served because one has to be vaccinated for several things.

George Washington inoculated his troops against smallpox. Disease has often killed more troops than the enemy has.

People who are unaware of this want to run our country. They need to be called out.

I want to be aware of what they are blathering about. It's unfortunate, but I'd rather be aware than not.

IF people don't want to read it, the title was clear as to the content, so it could easily be avoided by those who prefer not to read such things.

and went on Tropical overseas deployments, he was vaccinated against Yellow fever, Malaria, and other diseases. The military is quirky about its service members being fully vaccinated if they are going to be sent to places where access to health care may not be as readily available.

6. Perhaps these anti-vaxxers are trying to use it as an excuse to not be deployed to those regions 🤔

Then again, those without the vaccines should be sent to those places.

15. When my brother went to 'nam he was ORDERED to get several shots and vaccinations

He didn't have a choice and never complained because that's what you do. To refuse shots and vaccination is defying a direct order. President Biden had nothing to do with it as he wasn't even in Washington yet.

What part of this is he and Blackburn not getting?

He was my congressman before this area got gerrymandered into Democrat Rep. Colin Alred's district.

Was constantly getting mailings from him with crazy RW propaganda themes.
