Moreover, the Army is preparing in the coming weeks to broaden that requirement to troops deploying overseas, first responders, child care workers, health care personnel, prison staff and soldiers taking part in certain large-scale training exercises, according to a service spokesperson.

While the Pentagon sets policy for the military, the services and its commanders often retain broad discretion to adjust how those directives are carried out, whether to address safety concerns or work around bureaucratic hurdles.

In response to the outbreak, some U.S. officials including Rep. Joaquin Castro -- whose district covers about half of San Antonio, including Lackland Air Force Base -- criticized Hegseth's policy ending mandatory vaccination.

"After Secretary Hegseth scrapped the military's flu vaccine mandate, it was only a matter of time before an outbreak occurred," he wrote in a post on X last week. "It was a reckless decision that put troops in harm's way and undermined our military readiness."

In another post on X, Castro confirmed that the Air Force told his office there were 222 cases of flu at the base. "We need answers," he added.

Let me know when they invent a vaccine that actually works.

It depends how you define "works"
https://youtu.be/ciwyYnwYFaQ?
Joe Biden can say "you won't catch COVID if you get vaccinated"
https://youtu.be/rotiLdNY_F0?
Joe Biden can proceed to get every vaccine and booster shot publicly
https://youtu.be/3j4frzUtdaY
Joe Biden can then proceed to catch COVID 19, despite being double boosted. Despite telling people if you get vaccinated you're not going to catch COVID
So when anon says "let me know when they invent a vaccine that actually works" I know where he is coming from. Because it seems like the most high profile vaccine with the most high profile patient (the POTUS) did not work at preventing his infection

There was no ban. It was optional and not mandatory. OP is a huge faggot who doesn't know the difference. Probably an esl skill issue.

You mean Donald Trump invades a nation for no reason at all?!?

>>1521221
>JOE BIDEN! TRUMP ISN"T A PEDO BECAUSE JOE BIDEN! VACCINES DON'T WORK BECAUSE JOE BIDEN!

So is joe biden a senile moron, or is he an authority on medicine?

Oh, he's a senile moron? Then why the fuck would you believe him when he talks about vaccines? That kinda makes YOU the moron, doesn't it?

So does literally any doctor or qualified healthcare professional claim getting the vaccine will prevent you from getting covid?

What's that? No? So what DO they say?

That getting vaccinated reduces your chances of getting covid and reduces the severity of the disease if you do get it? Because that's how literally every vaccine works, it's fundamentally what they are, a form of training your immune system against a disease; not a magic fucking spell that incinerates it on contact?

So by focusing on these points, you're telling me you're an either disingenuous or retarded faggot who believes that because a confused old man was wrong in a speech germ theory doesn't exist.

Cool. You're fucking stupid, and you're a hypocrite for supporting donnie "I dunno, inject bleach you morons" diapers.

Do you really believe there are no clips of Dr Fauci saying "If you get vaccinated you won't catch covid?" No clips of him saying the Vaccines are 98% effective at preventing transmission?

>>1521247
Yes, I voted straight ticket Joe for maximum destruction.

>Do you really believe there are no clips of Dr Fauci saying "If you get vaccinated you won't catch covid?"

Yes. If I'm wrong, show me literally even one of him saying exactly that.

>No clips of him saying the vaccines are 98% effective at preventing transmission?

That's a different claim you goalpost moving fuckwit.

I dunno, you can probably find him saying something along the lines of vaccines will significantly decrease your risk of transmission that'd you'd be happy to take out of context. I know the vaccine initially had a high success rate that waned naturally over time as new strains mutated, which is microbiology 101 btw. I 1000% guarantee you he never guaranteed the vaccine will prevent disease transmission with certainty, because that's not how vaccines work. If you had a middle schooler's understanding of biology, you'd know that too. You should watch an episode of the magic fucking school bus from time to time.

This is not the only time Fauci flip flopped. I still remember in February of 2020 when he was saying you don't need a mask to being pro mask. His position eventually evolved into 1 mask is good but 2 masks is even better.

it's always funny watching esl shills complain about fauci when they shill for an unscientific grifter with brainworms

Even Trump wore a mask with the presidential seal on it.

Well, he was in the demographic of people who should've taken it being over 50.
COVID killed fags and olds and for some reason retards tried to shut everything down to prevent boomers and homos from dying even after they were vaxed.
Failed terrible policy from liggerals.
