Um, lol, no. I was ordered to stand in line, just like everyone else, and then stuck in the arm with about 40 needles with nary a word spoken to me about what they were or what they did, and had I refused, I would have been discharged. It's mandatory, not up to my "informed decision" because no information was offered (in the interests of being completely open, there was a line to take a look at papers...which we were ordered to do, in about 5 seconds, before we were ordered into the line, Shell, they don't give a shit), and it didn't matter what I decided either way. You do it, period.
Quote:You chose to serve in the military, presumably knowing that you would be vaccinated for fucking everything.
You'd be surprised what soldiers don't know when they join the army, and how little the army gives a shit if soldiers don't know something.
Quote:You were also presumably going where vaccinations are uncommon.
You'd be hard pressed to find an area where smallpox vaccinations were uncommon, hence the "eradication" bit.
Quote:You were not hanging out poolside in the U.S. with nary a virus in sight when some politician decided to vaccinate you anyway.
Yeah, yeah I was, minus the pool, and before I was ever born.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
