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

>>1521202
>Oh no, the flu again
Call me when something happens, lying title faggot.

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.

Hey, Trump is allowed to get as many US Soldiers killed by negligence as he wants, he's the commander in chief

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.

>>1521301
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.

https://nypost.com/2020/07/24/anthony-fauci-denies-hypocrisy-after-watching-game-without-mask/
Even Fauci wore his mask on his chin when the cameras weren't looking

>>1521317
you sure love posting absolute dogshit sources

>>1521259
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.

>>1521226
The 1918 Flu epidemic started on an army base in Kansas. The flu will FUCK YOU UP if you're not prepared. Fucks sake this is what happens when people keep calling every little cold the flu, they severely downplay the danger of the real deal.

There were two senile retards. I voted for the one that didn't fuck children with his best friend on a private island.

So you voted for the guy who who lied about the vaccine over the guy who is responsible for the vaccine existing through operation warp speed?

real americans don't want to be led by someone who rapes kids and enables a billionaire pedophile ring
if you weren't high on billionaire semen you'd understand

A president who didn't release the Epstein files would be a president who enables a billionaire pedophile ring.
Democrats are pedophiles. Just compare the number of Epstein files released by the last 4 presidents

>>1521410
No, the orange faggot who raped kids is the pedophile
you're a pedophile when you rape kids like Trump and Epstein did

>>1521301
Yeah, no, it's not from 5:41 onwards, that's you trying to cherry pick a quote. I started at about 5 minutes. Fauci says if you get vaccinated your risk is extremely low. Immediately after that, in the same discussion, he says things like "communities that get the vaccine don't get it, and those that don't do."

Which is him obviously being hyperbolic in context, which is why you want me to start at a very specific timestamp.

No you fucking idiot, YOU are a retarded shill for lying about this. You're a FAG for constantly fantasizing about getting dicked down by your grndr date.

>>1521415
Context doesn't matter in 2026 you stupid faggot and hasn't even been relevant for over a decade.
I mean what are you even smoking?

>>1521417
he's a russian shill, i'm sure he's drinking, not smoking

>>1521411
Surely you have evidence of these claims

>>1521414
>Trump and most of the GOP are LGBTQ
Makes sense, Trump is a makeup wearing faggot who preens over hot men

>>1521415
"If you're vaccinated, you don't have a risk." That's what he said.
>Which is him obviously being hyperbolic in context
lol, lmao

>guys, I can pick one sentence out of a long series of detailed briefs that makes Fauci sound like a hypocrite
>we need to keep politicians accountable for the things they say
>why are you laughing at me? this is serious
esl faggot will forever wonder why we're still laughing at her

>we need to keep politicians accountable for the things we say
>except for faucci, because I would literally prefer to die from a vaccine I previously shilled as safe and effective over being shamed
>please ignore that the government literally redefined what the term 'immunization' and 'vaccine' means to make excuses for the failures of my half-baked propaganda
>please ignore that I've been an open proponent of violating the Geneva Convention in regards to forced medical experimentation purely for the sake of trendsetting
>please ignore that we wanted to make literally everybody who disagreed with us into second class citizens and put them into gulags like Australia did
>please ignore that our authoritarian, dictatorial, pseudoscientific medical doctrine was temporarily suspended so black people could twerk on police cars

i would probably kill myself if i had to be an esl shill

>>1521438
thats because you'd be a smart person forced into the jail of esl shills tiny retarded brain
if you were actually esl shill you'd be confused why people are laughing at you and not recognizing your hypocrisy

>>1521437
>please ignore these blatant lies
Way ahead of you.

>>1521438
The category ESL shill exists purely in your mind. Nobody else knows what you are talking about

>>1521454
He insists that everybody who disagrees with him isn't American. Which is ironic because he isn't a heritage American.
The eternal outsider, living in a country that isn't his, speaking a language he coopted, accusing others of not being American. A joke only God himself could write.

>>1521202
So many such cases.
For some stupid reason libtards hate trump as much as they love his vaccines.

>>1521426
Yeah, and like twenty seconds before that he said the risk is significantly lower you obtuse imbecile. But you're retarded, so if your boyfriend brought taco bell home for dinner, and when you asked what he brought he said " I dunno, like a million tacos," then your response would be. " Oh my god you stupid faggot, why did you buy us one million tacos!? Do you know how long that's going to take to finish? How did you fit them all in that bag!? How can you carry all that! You have super powers!"

>>1521456
you realize you were replying to esl shill right?
you don't have to protect their feelings, they're a faggot.

Hegseth’s authority is being undermined

>>1521479
I'm pretty sure it was you who moved the goal posts from Soldiers are dying of preventable diseases

>>1521529
That sounds bad in isolation, but you gain perspective by comparing it to Joe Bidens actions
https://youtu.be/Snn28176lSo?
8400 Soldiers and military personnel lost their jobs and their careers because of Joe Bidens Vaccine Mandate. Many of these people in peak physical shape and with natural immunity were denied their livelihood because of President Bidens decisions. The 1 fatality hasn't been distinguished if it was someone who died WITH the flu or FROM the flu (I.E. George Floyd was positive for COVID 19 when he died.)

>>1521541
>Trump and Kegbreath killing soldiers is fine because Biden didn't coddle retarded pussies who refused to obey orders
lmao

>>1521549
Say the names of the soldiers Trump and Hegseth killed. That article is full of the names of the 8400 soldiers who lost their livelihoods

>>1521541
Lost their jobs for refusing to get vaccinated?

So they made a choice to not get vaccinated and lost their jobs?

So then 8400 military personal voluntarily quit, and we should be glad the retarded monkeys are gone because by being vulnerable to communicable disease they were a literal national security threat.

Cool. You're a fucking moron.

>>1521541
>president tells soldiers to do thing
>”Don’t wanna!”

>>1521557
Ah, I see, so it is literally OK when you do it.
I suspected, but wasn't positive.

>>1521627
No, it's not okay for me to not get vaccinated if I'm a soldier either, what are you even trying to say here? Just say it in your mother tongue, I'll fucking translate it.
