As I am hopefully everyone has seen, the secretary of defense has deemed a mandatory flu vaccine that has been the military standard for decades is no longer mandatory.
Why?
The flu still kills. And kills and kills and kills.
In fact I would hazard a guess that the flu killed more people in the world than the military. I would put money that the flu has killed more people in this flu season of 2025/2026 than the military has done in a decade.
This was decided and announced under a BS concept of “medical freedom”.
Yes, the quotes are mandatory.
Reminder, the flu still kills. But if you are too scared to take a vaccine for that which kills THOUSANDS of Americans a year, you do you. I’m not going to stop you.
But, while we are on the subject of medical freedom, now do women’s health and access to the full gamut of healthcare. Because abortion is healthcare.
Oh, you didn’t mean that kind of freedom.
Freedom for men, but not for women.
Good to know.
Typical of this administration and their secretaries but good to know.
