Imagine a 5000 person aircraft carrier crew fighting the flu while trying to work.

“because your body, your faith and your convictions are not negotiable.”

LOL fucking assholes.

It's kind of crazy how they just continually do the worst possible thing and in the worst possible way. Always. Even basic common sense shit like we shouldn't let the flu decimate our military overnight. Even fucking George Washington required soldiers to be innoculared for smallpox. Just regression, bigotry, stupidity, and corruption at every single turn. Giving broken clocks a good look.

From that 2019 article:

Fox News host Pete Hegseth has said on air that he has not washed his hands for 10 years because "germs are not a real thing".

Speaking on Fox and Friends, Hegseth said the infectious micro-organisms did not exist because they could not be seen with the naked eye.

This is a man who attended more than one very expensive university and didn't learn a thing, then said this idiocy, immediately after which the world was hit by a pandemic, and again Hegseth didn't learn a thing. The guy must be terminally stupid.

Anyway, if you ever have the misfortune to meet Pete Hegseth, don't shake his shit-covered hand. Although he probably doesn't believe in wiping his ass or showering either. After all, a dirty butthole isn't real because you can't see it without using one of these new-fangled mirror gadgets.

Imagine for a moment, that we were living in some crazy mirror-universe, where the regime's explicit goal was to sabotage America's capacity to project its will into the larger world.

In that scenario, what would we expect Hegseth to do differently?

Never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake.

pete has the IQ of a potted palm.

Well, that's very fucking stupid.

The stupid drunk is listening to the nutter, RFK.

Look, get your vaccine! It’s, at worst, a waste of time. At best, saves your life.

That said, I went over 15 years never getting one and never ever got the flu. I even worked in pre-clinical pharmacy research for over a decade and know how it all works. I only recently started getting it again because I have a kid and I want to protect our family and be a better citizen to my community.

Shouldn't this fall into the category of not telling the enemy your strategy or weaknesses? Pete's not very bright.

George Washington wished he could have had an easy vaccination solution like the military has today. Pete doesn't understand that historically disease often killed more troops than enemy attacks. Good defense starts with a healthy, immune fighting force.

That headline stating “modern influenza originated in Kansas” is bullshit. That is NOT what the article says. The so-called Spanish Flu of 1918 indeed is thought to have crossed over from birds in Kansas. But that is one flu, not the entirety of “modern” flu. Influenza can cross over anywhere at any time from most species. Ascribing human ethnicity or geographical locators associated with human populations is ridiculous.

This is strategically moronic.

A weaker U.S. military.

Probably a win for the world as a whole.

"So how much are they spending on vaccines? Yeah, no, drop that significantly, we'll get a bigger piece of the pie." -Lockheed CEO

Even the German Nazis supported vaccination (of "worthy" people only), for crying out loud!

Iran is about to be the first country on earth to weaponize influenza A.

I support counter attacking aggressions by the american terrorist military with canisters full of some kind of flu or coronavirus.

Soon to learn what "seasoned" troops means.
