Military services again requiring recruits to get flu shots as Air Force outbreak grows

It's more fun to look at a person with type 2 diabetes, and blame them for their own poor life choices. "They don't do enough push-ups, or drink enough raw milk!🤡"

It's less fun to look at poor leadership causing the flu to rip through their military base, destroying vital cells in their pancreas.

2) triggering of previous genetic susceptibility

Or
