It was me that said that and I was proven wrong. Bucco who never lies said it was 72%. I think he is correct.

I can't remember if you have a medical background. I don't. I just read a lot of medical stuff but am very picky from WHERE.

What a different world we live in.
In 1956 when I joined military, we were told to report to MO for shots, and in later years when posted abroad, for more.
I am still none the wiser as to what they put into me.
All we were told, was it would stop us popping our clogs from some heathen disease!
As for choice?

When I was sent to Puerto Rico I needed a Yellow Fever vaccination. The dispensary in Philly didn't have it so they noted in my records that I didn't have it and would get it in Puerto Rico. It never happened. When I was getting discharged back it Philly and they saw I did not receive it they gave it to me in Philly the day before I was discharged. It was effective, it has protected me against Yellow Fever in PA and now here ever since

I honestly do not understand how the military can allow this. The same for first responders. No one should be able to force you to get the vaccine. On the other hand if you are a first responder and are going to be in close contact with people, you should not be allowed to do your job if you refuse the vaccine. Same for the military. Not getting the vaccine is endangering the lives of your fellow servicemen who live in work in close quarters.

So in other words if you carry a certain line of work, your not entitled to freedom of choice? Those are some really strong opinions, and as someone who works in healthcare, I’ll be damned if someone will tell me what I can do for my own life and health...

How can you lie like this. This is the quote

TOPLINE About two-thirds of U.S. troops who have been offered the coronavirus vaccine have accepted the jab, Pentagon officials said Wednesday, raising questions about the safety of the U.S. armed forces as reports of coronavirus outbreaks still plague the military.

That’s encouraging. Now all the enemy has to do is send in some covid carriers to infect and immobilize our troops. Defeated without firing a single shot.

No, the article says that two-thirds who were OFFERED the vaccine ACCEPTED the vaccine, which means one-third did NOT accept the vaccine. That’s very sad. There was a time when people going into the military were tough and brave and accepted all their shots and their first buzz cut without complaint, though they may have gritted their teeth, and some passed out from getting several vaccines at once. Willing to face a bullet but not a needle? I don’t get it. General Washington required his troops at Valley Forge to accept smallpox inoculation. That was a big deal, much more dangerous than this vaccine. I believe two or three of the soldiers died from their inoculation. But the result was that the rest stayed free of smallpox, a scourge of army life, and lived on. Without the inoculations, we may well have lost that war. I’d tell the troops “Take the vaccine or get a dishonorable discharge.” I guess everywhere we go, there are people who believe conspiracy theories and pseudo-science. Why should military personnel be any different?

Please provide the direct web link to this data. The information I get is there are NO direct links between the COVID shot and deaths. Only that there were deaths of people 77 and over who had received the vaccine, but it was not determined those deaths were due to the vaccine.

I don't know what to believe. I have seen a couple of posters claim there have been deaths from the mRNA vaccines. I have searched for that information but come up with nothing. Will you please post a link to information that states there have been deaths directly related to the mRNA vaccines. Thanks.

The deaths in Norway in the nursing home were people who were very old and frail and even a fever would have made them die. I don't consider those deaths to be directly related to the vaccines. From what I have read, people over 90 years old were not in trials and those nursing home patients should not have received the vaccines in the first place. This is an article about those deaths in Norway.........

I found this report from the CDC. It says of the over 900 reports of death after the vaccinations, no deaths were directly related to the vaccines. Am I reading this incorrectly???
