These soldiers are suffering because Trump is a weak faggot who hates his country. https://abcnews.com/Health/military-services-requiring-recruits-flu-shots-air-force/story?id=134126794 A flu outbreak at the Air Force's basic training hub in San Antonio is worsening, according to two sources familiar with the situation. As of Tuesday, at least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, had been diagnosed with the flu and four had been hospitalized, the two people familiar with the matter told ABC News. This marks a sharp increase from the 159 cases and two hospitalizations reported last week. The death of one recruit remains under investigation, though it is not yet clear whether it is tied to the outbreak, the sources said. The outbreak is unfolding just two months after Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth made the annual flu shot optional for troops, scrapping the military's requirement for it, which dates to 1945, a move breaking with longstanding public health directives. "Our new policy is simple: If you, an American warrior entrusted to defend this nation, believe that the flu vaccine is in your best interest, then you are free to take it; you should. But we will not force you," Hegseth said in April. Even so, the services have already been given exceptions to Hegseth's policy according to Pentagon spokesperson Sean Parnell in a statement provided to ABC News. As part of those exceptions to the policy, the Army, Navy and Air Force are once again requiring flu shots for basic trainees, according to officials. In the Air Force, only about 40% of its new trainees at Joint Base San Antonio had a flu vaccination when the outbreak started in early June, according to the two sources. But with the new exception to policy, the Air Force has the goal of vaccinating all of the recruits in this recruit class and will vaccinate all new recruits arriving at the base according to one of the sources.

Moreover, the Army is preparing in the coming weeks to broaden that requirement to troops deploying overseas, first responders, child care workers, health care personnel, prison staff and soldiers taking part in certain large-scale training exercises, according to a service spokesperson.While the Pentagon sets policy for the military, the services and its commanders often retain broad discretion to adjust how those directives are carried out, whether to address safety concerns or work around bureaucratic hurdles.In response to the outbreak, some U.S. officials including Rep. Joaquin Castro -- whose district covers about half of San Antonio, including Lackland Air Force Base -- criticized Hegseth's policy ending mandatory vaccination."After Secretary Hegseth scrapped the military's flu vaccine mandate, it was only a matter of time before an outbreak occurred," he wrote in a post on X last week. "It was a reckless decision that put troops in harm's way and undermined our military readiness."In another post on X, Castro confirmed that the Air Force told his office there were 222 cases of flu at the base. "We need answers," he added.

There was no ban. It was optional and not mandatory. OP is a huge faggot who doesn't know the difference. Probably an esl skill issue.

Friendly reminder that the first medical mandate in the history of the United States was George Washington inoculating the Continental Army against smallpox.
