Abstaining from Vaccination should NOT be a right
RE: Abstaining from Vaccination should NOT be a right
(February 27, 2012 at 12:44 pm)Shell B Wrote: I call bullshit. You may, like so many others, have decided to forego careful perusal of your contract, your deployment papers, etc. However, I am absolutely positive that soldiers are informed of the fact that they will be vaccinated before they enter the military. They are also informed of it in their deployment orders, though they have no right to refuse by then. Yes, you were slammed through a line when you got the shot. Did you ever read the mountain of paperwork handed to you before then?

You call bullshit or you think I should have read the mountains of paperwork? I agree. I should have, but there are plenty of reasons I didn't (and this is exactly the way they like it, hence the hurry hurry hurry, sign it, get in line, and shut the fuck up). It was a bad decision on my part not to read it, but it wasn't an informed decision by any stretch. It was a coerced decision, which really didn't matter at all. Take it or leave it.

Quote:I wouldn't, actually. What you don't know, you know you are not going to know. You do know that you will be vaccinated.

No, Shell, I didn't. Why not just say Rhythm you fucking liar? Why would vaccinations even cross my mind when I went to sign up to play GI Joe? I was up to date on all my vaccinations when I joined...how would I know they had more..do you think they advertise that?

Quote:I didn't realize Afghanistan had country-wide access to anything, even water.

Wasn't my AO, (and I joined before Afghanistan or 9/11). However....
"Katie Reilly (Honduras 1999-2001) organized and reported on the event, noting that she invited RPCVs Jill Vickers and Jane Stebbins Flower — part of an all-female group that worked to vaccinate against smallpox in Afghanistan from 1969-1971"

Quote:They gave you the smallpox vaccination in utero? This is getting ridiculous

It is, because you can't help yourself. Yes Shell, before I was ever born a politician decided that he could and would have me vaccinated. They had the backing of the Supreme Court, all of this happened in 1905....and I'm not turning 108 this year.

Quote:How? He would not have been hanging out poolside until he was debriefed. There is no way he would be sitting next to me shedding the virus, especially if he got his vaccination, which, as a soldier, he did.

And yet people do smuggle pathogens into our country undetected. Again, plus one for mandatory vaccination (and in this case, mandatory screening upon return-I did get quarantined btw, I had some weird ass bug in my lungs they never pinned down..interestingly, I wasn't coughing or anything like that, but others were, probably would have escaped detection if I was the only one who caught it).

"Every established country forced people to take vaccinations."

Boy, you put that in quotes. I think you might have played fast and loose with your interpretation on that one. I think I might have said something along the lines of developed nations with compulsory vaccination policies went out into the world vaccinating people (sometimes shadily) on a massive scale, and this was shown to be a successful way of dealing with an infectious disease. But fuck me, maybe I didn't say that at all.
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!
