Is the U.S. Military a Cash Cow for Big Pharm?
I spent 22 years in the military where vaccines are mandatory, including the flu vaccine. I have often wondered, are any of my health issues from these vaccines, like the anthrax vaccine for instance. Every year I would try and weasel my way out of the flu shot, but inevitably command caught up with me. I am convinced that big pharm, the gov and the military are all in cahoots and the military is a big cash cow. What better place to push vaccines, than in a place were you have to do what you are ordered? Hell, we are so brainwashed on vaccines, that even when we go to the VA after being retired, they still push that stupid flu shot, and it is hard to say no. This year, after being retired for three years, I am staying away from the VA and am going to see how the flu season goes without the vaccine. I think I will be fine.
But have you had side effects from these vaccines? I was given all the regular vaccines when I was a kid, nothing happened to me, from the time I was able to make my own decisions I have never accepted taking a vaccine. So I don't really know if they are actually good for you or harmful.
I guess I can say I was not old enough to make my own decisions until I was almost 40. I joined the military when I was till in high school. In the military there are some decisions you just don't get to make. You can try to hide from the vaccines, but you will get called on the carpet eventually. Hell, even when flu season has passed, they are still working the report of the un-vaccinated and threatening a multitude of consequences. I am not against all vaccinations. The main point of my post is that I believe big pharm is getting rich off of the military, via a lobbyist/politician/military relationship somewhere. Who knows if any of my issues are from vaccines? The doctors sure don't know.
