89% of active-duty troops have received at least their first COVID vaccine dose, according to the White House. Just three weeks ago, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said that number was 76%. @playbookdc
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc No shit the troops have no choice but to take it unless they want to get kicked out of the military. It is crazy that it had to come to this.
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc It’s mandatory to get vaccinated 💉 from Measles, Mumps, Rubella etc to go to School 🏫 It should be mandatory to get vaccinated 💉 to protect everyone from Covid 🤷♀️🇺🇸✅
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc As a retiree and 30 year veteran, I never thought this would be an issue.
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc BUT WILL THEIR TESTICLES SWELL UP?
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc The anti-vaxxers are all talk Many of them got vaccinated before any mandates and just lied to their friends to look tough Look at the data, 75% of all adults have one or more doses. Whole lot of Republicans lying about not getting vaccinated
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc My nephew is on the USS Lincoln and he is fully vaccinated. He tells me that If you don't get the shot you basically are quarantined 24/7 until you do or resign.
@kylegriffin1 @T_FisherKing @playbookdc Remember~ a lot of the noise about quitting if vaccines were mandated came from self identified “active duty officers/enlisted” on Twitter & Facebook. Just to remind you~ randos on social media can claim to be anything or anyone. Stealing valor is one of the RW’s pastimes.
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc I spent 10 years in, soldiers talked bug about the anthrax vaccine. Then we were told if you don't get it you get a other than honorable discharge... every single one of them got the jab in a week
@kylegriffin1 @playbookdc 89%, still way to low. But good trend.
