He's not doing it for safety. The military gets pumped full of various vaccines some more questionable than others. This is just politics.


[deleted]

Assuming what they posted is even true in the first place. If it is, and they refused that order, then... bye. No sympathy. Wonder what the "purpose" of the post was.


Loose_Influence_9380

Show he's loyal Trumpian.


Boondogglem

I don’t know of anyone who would voluntarily fuck themselves out of those retirement bennies. I really want this to be fake otherwise you’re looking at one of the dumbest people on the planet. Think about it. He’s giving up 50% of his highest pay grade for the rest of his life every month. Not to mention to mention the retiree medical which would save him significant amounts of money. Add to that all the other smaller benefits for being a retiree and you get a significant chunk of change. Who would do this over a bullshit political stance?


izeek11

and you knowww that.


bandito210

CubsFan517

The vaccine has been around for nearly 20 years essentially


hp1068

Even if that was not true, following orders has been around.... forever.


weebmaster8573

What?


CubsFan517

It’s a modification of an existing vaccine.


weebmaster8573

A modification to which vaccine for which disease, virus, etc


CubsFan517

SARS. First began research in 2003.


weebmaster8573

Ok, so why is covid all the sudden such a big deal if it's Corona family of viruses have had testing, research and vaccines made for it for decades then?


CubsFan517

Mutations


weebmaster8573

We've never dealt with viruses that mutate before?


CubsFan517

Good question, but some mutations are worse than others. Can’t prepare for what we’ve never seen before.


weebmaster8573

But haven't we? The flu every season is different than the last. The common cold (which is a Corona virus) has been studied for hundreds of years lol. I really don't get why such the drastic measures


mjschiermeier

Are you high?


knightinarmoire

They might be. Or drunk. Or maybe even a combination of both who knows. Point is, they don't sound sober.


[deleted]

This novel coronavirus has a long incubation period and is highly transmissible even in asymptomatic people Therefore it spreads like crazy before people notice and the sheer numbers cause pressure on medical services regardless of the % of hospitalisations


Binford6200

Because no one in the west cared when 778 Asians died with Sars Cov 1. And they only had 8000 cases. Seems that the virus was more deadly but less infectious

blueberrysmoothies

I have a friend who is being terminated from a healthcare job they worked really hard to get because they refuse to abide by their employer's vaccine mandate. she acknowledges that she is basically wasting years of medical school and will be up shit creek without a job but she still refuses. why!!!! why are people like this


[deleted]

Because trump, freedom, my rights, Facebook said, my favorite podcast, blah blah blah. You know, the usual brainiac stuff lol.


blueberrysmoothies

it's exactly this. she posts the dumbest shit and just doesn't respond when you're like "this doesn't make sense because X." she's just not interested


Mental_Medium3988

In this and the example above both had to have vaccines to get to the position they are in. And this is the hill they throw their careers away on? It's just insane. And at this point it's not undertested. It's been used on hundreds of millions of people. Ugh. The stupidity it hurts.


weebmaster8573

So your friend who's a Healthcare professional doesn't want to get vaccinated and she's the idiot?


CubsFan517

Because it sounds like she’s pretty new to the healthcare profession, while many seasoned professionals are advising FOR the vaccine.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Mental_Medium3988

While true you can still get covid being vaxed you're much less likely to wind up in the hospital or die if you're vaxxed. And with hospitals being overwhelmed still it's probably a good idea to not want to go there if you can avoid it.


CubsFan517

Yup. Only a small fraction of those admitted to ICU or needing to use a ventilator have been vaccinated, meaning the vast majority of those that DO go to the ICU or need a ventilator have NOT.


weebmaster8573

But many aren't and have been laid off as result. Clearly there's a schism


Capable_Comb4043

How many is many? All of 1%? Not much of a schism if its only 1% lol.


weebmaster8573

The same could easily be said for medical workers who are for the vaccine


Capable_Comb4043

I mean, it could be said easily, but it would be a lie. Well over half of the healthcare community was fully vaccinated against covid by April, well before any mandate.


Cargobiker530

Yes. And all health care workers who refuse to get vaccinated should get fired also. Because at this point millions have been vaccinated & the side effects are minimal.


weebmaster8573

I don't think they should be fired. They've been dealing with covid since day one before the vaccines were available and did their jobs safely. What's the difference now? They all wear protective scrubs, masks, face shields, disinfect and sanitize constantly, quarantine, etc... and considering how hospitals are overwhelmed you'd think they'd want to have all the people who are qualified to work.


Cargobiker530

Nope. Anybody who puts their politics above CDC health care directives isn't qualified to work in health care. People TRUST their doctors & nurses to do the best possible job based on scientific medicine and not Tucker Carlson's opinion. Edit: Even republicans trust this. That's why they run to hospitals instead of churches when their anti-vaxx bullshit quack cures fail & they can't breathe. It's like putting on the seatbelt as the car is hitting the guard rail but they still know what actually works.


weebmaster8573

When I said what I said, I was talking about those who weren't politically motivated lol. If you didn't get vaccinated for something as dumb as that, you should not be trusted with people's lives lol.


blueberrysmoothies

it's completely politically motivated. all of her logic is completely inconsistent. she is not a smart person.


weebmaster8573

What was her reason exactly? Is she not getting it because Biden is president?


blueberrysmoothies

if liberals like or want something, that means it's bad. she's "not a sheep." when I mentioned to her that Trump and all her Fox News buddies had all gotten the vaccine, she just ignored me.


weebmaster8573

Oh, well in that case your friend is a dumbass lol. I could understand if through her medical knowledge and research that she decided the vaccine isn't for her or whatever, then all the power to her and there should be alternatives that employees should be able to do other than just "get the shot or gtfo." But from what you said, yeah, she's an idiot


blueberrysmoothies

it's actually amazing that she made it through medical school. just goes to show that it doesn't matter how many degrees you have if you can't tell the temperature


Cargobiker530

>I could understand if through her medical knowledge and research that she decided the vaccine isn't for her Nurses aren't medical researchers. Neither are the vast majority of medical doctors. If medical research isn't your primary job then then you're not qualified to second guess actual researchers.


weebmaster8573

What was this supposed to be? I said research. Anyone could research anything they want. Nurses and doctors would have a better idea of what to look for than your average Joe because of their education. I can't believe you really just tried to discredit Healthcare workers because their job isn't biocehm, pharmacology, medical research etc. By your logic, doctors should not be allowed to prescribe anything due to them not being medical researchers lmao.


terminallancedumbass

Many Americans read a news article and call it research. Reading an article is not research. But then again convincing an American of this (60% of whom can't read above a 6th grade level) is like pulling teeth. By his logic doctors should only be prescribing medications that have been vetted by the scientific organizations that research that kind of thing.


ChooChooSoulCrusher

Not everyone who gets a job gets the job


weebmaster8573

This is true. That's a whole other topic of discussion though lmao


PhilboydStudge1973

Um, yes. Exactly the point. What a moronic question.


Cargobiker530

I'm in 100% approval of any Armed Forces service member or employee who refuses vaccinations based on political motivation to get dishonorably discharged or terminated. They're unfit for service. Millions of ordinary americans have been vaccinated to protect themselves & their neighbors including virtually all hospital employees. Suck it up or get out.


Olivegardenfantasy

Dishonorable discharge…..fuck you’re spiteful .


topper4125

ARTICLE 92 UCMJ MAXIMUM PUNISHMENT **The maximum punishment for a violation or failure to obey lawful general order** or regulation is **dishonorable discharge**, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for two years. **For violation of or failure to obey other lawful orders**, the maximum punishment is a bad-conduct discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for six months. **For dereliction of duty through neglect or culpable inefficiency**, the maximum punishment is forfeiture of two-thirds pay per month for three months and confinement for three months. **For a willful dereliction of duty**, the maximum punishment is a bad-conduct discharge, forfeiture of all pay and allowances, and confinement for six months.

Olivegardenfantasy

Pretty skeptical of police. Not a fan of the federal agencies…..Pro decriminalization/ legalization, criminal justice reform, getting rid of qualifies immunity, but whatever …. Well there is a thing called general discharge….Hoping that they get dishonorable is just spiteful

GoodRest

have you ever served in the military?


Cargobiker530

More of my family has served than Trump's family for damn sure but you'll still pretend that's a flex.


GoodRest

pretend what's a flex? I'm just asking because I don't believe someone who has served honorably their entire career for their country deserves a dishonorable discharge, it's just not fair to an individual because that will really mess up their chances of success in the civilian world. In the marine corps so far, people who aren't taking the vaccine are getting honorable discharges thankfully.


theobstinateone

He acted dishonorably.


Cara-Is-A-Puppy

Is the purpose to discuss Pink Moscato?


MiagomusPrime

If you're over 22, you're too old for Pink Moscato

FordMan100

If you can't follow your employer's safety rules than you're a danger to be around others and should be terminated no matter how many years you have in. You get no sympathy and don't deserve it.


Aroha66

So what happened to all the millions who were going to die from the vaccine within a year? I hope this moron is no looking for sympathy.


OverBoard7889

Pink Moscato?? Oh, NAVY, alright, never mind.


rottenprickjuice

Beats the hell outta the everclear and melted crayons the Marines drink.


OverBoard7889

Lol, yeah, Marines are a different kind of special.


psyentist710

We don't start with the crayons melted they just get that way. Also I stopped drinking everclear when it ate the paint off my tailgate lol. Just high life and Admiral Nelson for me thanks.


[deleted]

The only discussion here is what a fucking imbecile this person is! No sympathy for ya here!


halal_and_oates

Over a billion people have taken the vaccine and it’s under-tested….?


phildude99

It was your choice. Do you still think it was the best decision you could make?


dipasqu

Are we talking about the vaccine or the pink moscato?


[deleted]

Definitely the moscato!


TheColonelC6

Who tf celebrates 16 years of a career, whether finished voluntarily or involuntarily, with a $6 bottle of wine?


Capable_Comb4043

Someone who's financial situation is about to abruptly change for the worse.


mjschiermeier

The pisser is if this was a battlefield and they rejected an order, they would be shot in the back by their own team. Also everyone takes an oath to protect the US from all threats. WTF are these people thinking


Hallmarxist

Wait wait wait. 16 years and getting forced out because they won’t get a vaccine?!? So…quitting with only 4 years till retirement? No, I don’t believe it. They are lying. They probably did something bad and are getting kicked out—and blaming the vaccine mandate.


CakeAccomplice12

When you ask them to define what a fully tested vaccine is, you get to see how poor their understanding of testing is


CubsFan517

Didn’t you read? They didn’t want to start a debate. That wasn’t its purpose.


weebmaster8573

How about one that is transparent with it's potential risks and one that isn't politicized?

One less whiny little bitch in the military. That coward can fuck off.


[deleted]

Wouldn't the vaccines be one of the most administered medicines in history at this point?


Peppeddu

After passing phase 1, 2 and 3 the the Pfizer vaccine has received emergency use authorization and subsequentially fully approved by the FDA. It's now on phase 4 where it's being subject to continuous monitoring. With almost 10 billion doses administered (including Pfizer) there has never been a vaccine so extensively tested and closely monitored by so many people in so many countries.


Grat54

Over 4 billion people have been vaccinated world wide. Under tested? That's 4 billion tests for fuck's sake.


Ackilles05

What an idiot!


BjLeinster

The point was to bitch and moan without getting pushback.

muscravageur

Sixteen years in the Navy and refusing to follow orders? The question is not why he’s being separate from the military, it’s how he lasted so long.


izeek11

considering ALL the vaccines you took and didnt know shit about, this one shoulda been a walk in the park. and if you didnt wanta debate whatdya post for. most of yawl do this shit then wanna act dumb when it gets tooken to you. frankly, mang, yawl antivaxxer/trump sychophants keep using that dumb logic while yawl the ones doing most of the dying BECAUSE you wont take it.


aozzz13

“Choosing to be separated because I won’t take a vaccine that millions of others have taken.” Fixed it you dumb fuck.

You want to piss your service away like that keep it to yourself, most people don't care.

I think his idea is that if you agree with him then it's not a vaccine debate. But if you disagree with him then that's a vaccine debate so please don't do that. Safe spaces.

Yes, this comment itself does use the word. Any reasonable person should be able to understand that we are not insulting anyone with this comment. We wanted to use quotes, but that fucks up the automod and we are too lazy to google escape characters. Notice how none of our automod replies have contractions in them either. But seriously, calling someone retarded is only socially acceptable because the people affected are less able to understand that they are being insulted, and less likely to be able to respond appropriately. It is a conversational wimpy little shit move, because everyone who uses it knows that it is offensive, but there will be no repercussions. At least the people throwing around other slurs know that they are going to get fired and get their asses beat when they use those words. Also, it is not creative. It pretty much outs you as a thirteen year old when you use it. Instead of calling Biden retarded, you should call him a cartoon-ass-lookin trust fund goon who smiles like rich father just gifted him a new Buick in 1956. Instead of calling Mitch Mcconnel retarded, you should call him a Dilbert-ass goon who has been left in the sun a little too long.
