NYT: We Were Badly Misled About the Event That Changed Our Lives

I only had to take them in the military for preparation to go overseas. And the Covid vaccine was only mandated during the Bidumb administration.

Why would you not want our armed forces to be combat ready?
Please explain.
 
MAGAnificent said:
Odd question. Is this just like your fable claiming that I am an anti-vaxxer just because I do not agree with vaccine mandates?
Click to expand...
Well. The military gets vaccines so that they can be combat ready.
Surely you understand their health is an important part of their effectiveness in combat.
And as such compliance must be mandatory just as they have to under go compulsory physical fitness, compulsory weapons training etc.
So why would you be against a mandate that keeps the troops combat ready?
Do you think they should get to decide if they do weapons training and or physical training?

I think vaccines are important. I just do not agree with vaccine mandates. You will justhave to live with that.

Ask an intelligent question and I will be delighted to answer it. The one you are asking in the context of Covid vaccines is an attempt at projection.

it was an intelligent question.

We vaccinate for a wide range of diseases.

Why not COVID especially in the midst of a pandemic?

Again, an incredibly stupid question, as I have never claimed I do not want our armed forces to be combat ready.

And we should continue to offer those vaccines. We just do not need to mandate them.

If you have any real faith in the Covid vaccines, relax. We do not need 100% compliance to get to herd immunity. But then, you have lost the argument anyway. The troops who refused the vaccine and were kicked out have since been offered reinstatement and back pay.

Ummmm

We mandate those vaccines. They aren't offered. They are mandated.

And I ask again.... Why not COVID especially in the midst of a pandemic?

I don't care about herd immunity. It didn't happen.

I don't care if troops who refused the vaccine and were kicked out have since been offered reinstatement and back pay.

The question was ... Why not COVID especially in the midst of a pandemic?

I think you’re causing him way to much cognitive dissonance for him to answer the question.

The psychic pain he would experience if he faced the question is obviously just too intense.

"The turd who occupied the oval office prior to Trump's second term."

You stated that.

That is childish name calling.

Why the childish name calling?

Well, you are engaging with somebody who thought "Let's Go Brandon" was so edgy and clever that he'd make it the centerpiece of his identify.

I took the vaccine, and I assume you did as well. What's the problem?

To a point it absolutely did happen. The two most deadly variants that actually comprised the pandemic are no longer a thing.

Ofcourse you don't. To you, it's all about authoritarian mandates.

No it didn't happen. Post hoc, ergo propter hoc is a known fallacy.

I don't care because it was irrelevant to maintaining the healthiest fighting force at the time.

A question you continue to sidestep.
