Dumb AF
It should be the other way around
I remember boot camp. At least a dozen injections. Seemed like it anyway. Who knows what they were. All they wanted to know was if your were allergic to eggs. Apparently some vaccines were cultured in egg whites…
Got all the shots again plus a couple more pre Vietnam one of which was a giant needle full of something in your butt. Don’t piss off the Navy corpman or he’d tap that needle on the desktop before injection so it wouldn’t pull out smoothly.
Wierd malaria pills in Vietnam but no injections.
A few more shots – not many – back stateside plus the flu vaccines were developed by then so we got that as well.
Now there’s guys with those dozen shots from boot camp getting discharged for not following orders to get a proven safe and effective shot.
Perhaps the military wasn’t the best fit for them in the first place.
Thanks very much for sharing that, Dave. I think it’s an important perspective that doesn’t get brought up much.
I wasn’t in the military, but like so many others my age (68), I had plenty of vaccinations as a kid. I find it exceedingly weird that so many people are balking now at vaccines that have been proven safe. Indeed they’ve now been taken by millions of people around the world. And–in the vast majority–without serious side effects.
Again, thanks!
