"The outbreak comes just weeks after the defense secretary, Pete Hegseth, ended mandatory flu vaccination for the military, citing the need for bodily autonomy for servicemembers."

🤔 "bodily autonomy" 🤔 — Isn't that what women want — sensibly — and what this regime and SCOTUS supermajority want to deny them? But go ahead, ditch vaccine mandates for soldiers in close quarters. 🙄

These dumb 🤬

A major localized #flu #outbreak is currently affecting hundreds of new #MilitaryRecruits at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland in Texas. The outbreak began after “Defense” Secretary Pete #Hegseth made flu #vaccines optional in April, causing #vaccination rates to plummet to around 40%.

Vaccines work.

#Vaccines #VaccinesWork #VaccinesFTW

Vaccines teach our immune system to recognise and fight specific germs—no infection needed. 🌱

- They’re rigorously tested for safety.
- Different formats exist (live‑attenuated, mRNA, protein subunit, etc.).
- Widespread immunisation cuts disease spread, protects the vulnerable, and eases strain on health systems.
