Absolutely none of this should have happened. None.

The 1918 "Spanish flu" was cultivated in the trenches and spread through military camps and demobilization.

Hesgeth should be removed from his position ASAP.

Edit:

>Around 60% of previously unvaccinated trainees at Lackland initially declined the flu shot during the vaccine requirement’s lapse, according to the defense official.

https://edition.cnn.com/2026/06/24/politics/flu-shot-outbrea...

Forget about Hesgeth. The USA is completely effed up.

Back in 2010 the situation was already extremely grim. Yes, they did test for tuberculosis upon intake and took blood samples for many hepatitis variants and possible a few other things. However, they let severe respiratory viruses run through everyone like wildfire for weeks without the slightest effort to prevent disease. They purposely let people get extremely cold and wet and didn't give a damn if people got sick. This is NOT new.

Meanwhile, down the street, you've got RFK and POTUS making measles and polio great again.

While also lying about taking Tylenol during pregnancy causing autism. They've done more studies since that misinformation to prove once again there's no connection.

RFK should be removed along with the POTUS who put him there.

This administration might be the exception, but it is actually normal for the US military to be getting more vaccines than average, even when their effectiveness is suspect (some past flu vaccines) or side effects are moderate to severe (e.g. anthrax vaccines).

Readiness - a matter of national security - tends to trump most concerns that, in civilian populations, might warrant greater choice and debate.

There is (was?) a mandatory list of vaccines all military had to receive upon enlisting.

Both decisions? Or just the walkback one?

> Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell said that the Pentagon had granted exceptions to Hegseth’s optional flu shot policy to the Army, Navy, Air Force, National Security Agency, and the Defense Health Agency.

So which ones are still exempt from the vaccines? Space Force, USMC, Coast Guard, who else?

annzabelle•1h ago
There are a few obscure ones.

Uniformed Health Service (the reason the Surgeon General is a General), which I'm certain is vaccinated.

NOAA also has uniformed personnel.

SecretDreams•1h ago
Sadly, all the time spent deferring reality ends up hurting a lot of bystanders. The debt they've run up is going to be painful, maybe moreso than the damages incurred from the anti-science and anti-transparency policies.
vkou•58m ago
The debt would be less painful if the pricks that were responsible for this mess would be billed for the consequences of their poor king-making.

We can start with whomever showed up to that inauguration, and expand from there. If they could afford that bribe, they can certainly afford to pay for repairing the damage their golden boy has caused.

What does this mean
krapp•32m ago
Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away.

See: viruses and the efficacy of vaccines thereupon.

nolok•28m ago
The vaccine was mandatory, like in pretty much every army base of every half developed country, because not having it mandatory led to infection waves and in the army that's even worse than in genpop.

The reasons for not doing the vaccine anymore were, essentially, "the vaccine is more dangerous than the sickness" and "the vaccine is not necessary to avoid the sickness".

Both of those statement are, factually, scientifically, not true. That's reality. Which is what parent meant, no matter the deep conviction and the political innuendo, ultimately reality is you either do the vaccine and are safe for no risk or you don't and you get infection waves.

beart•1h ago
I have a close friend who is an officer nearing twenty years. He has not had a tendency to criticize his job. However, he has been adamant that vaccines are incredibly important for the military and the policy changes have really angered him, specifically because of the damage it does to readiness.

The covid refusal also became a scam. If you refused then you couldnt be deployed. But it tool months to kick people out. So people who didnt want to deploy would refuse and then agree to get the shot at the last minute. So it kept them home for up to six months while thier buddies went overseas..

As reported by The Onion, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has ordered all of the individuals who became ill to be dishonorably discharged.

"Our armed forces need warriors, not weak losers who can't fight off a little virus," he stated. "You should be able to do 70 pull-ups in a minute and to never succumb to the so-called flu."
