here is what i will tell you and you are also a veteran so you know how the military works. so i came in at the end of 96 and went straight to the middle east on my first deployment. i was forced to take the very first series of anthrax vaccine before it was even approved. i had to sign a waiver and refusing the shots got you kicked out no questions asked. we had 4 members of the seal team that were a part of our detachment that were kicked out for refusing to take it. so they gave us that shot before it was approved. that's my back story. the new corona vaccine is being given to the military on a voluntary basis. so after serving for an entire career at no point during my career including the thrax vac was i ever given the option of any shots being voluntary and they damn sure were kicking people out for not doing so because i saw it first hand. even during the invasion of iraq i was forced to get the small pox bs on ship and they lined us up in the desert and made us take nerve agent antidote pills, that they visually inspected your mouth to make sure you took.

so experiencing all of that and them making it on a voluntary basis makes me think something is big time up. the only thing i was able to skirt taking was my malaria pills because that wasnt supervised. them shits made you trip out of your mind and feel weird as all hell. malaria probably couldnt have been much worse i was thinking. well being in a combat zone and the mind not being right was not a good thing for me, so i tossed them bad boys
