The military has lost 24 people due to COVID since it started. 24. So far, over 80 cases of myocarditis, which has a 5-year fatality rate in the 70% range. Over 1000 servicemembers have been medically separated for vaccine complications. A guy I work with *randomly* developed lupus at the age of 30 a few days after his second shot, something they refuse to connect to the vaccine.
I am not anti or pro vax, but the notion that things are black and white is childish. The vaccine is not a zero-risk solution. Your post is an extremely childish strawman fallacy.
In NZ there has been one death that may be attributed to the vax and she was 90 with a bunch of comorbidities- out of 3,875,000 doses there were about 23 serious reactions and none have resulted in death or ongoing harm. In other words noise in the data and actually your military has lost 46, pretty much 100% more than your figure but if you were to account for the whole DoD then it would be 473. I may be wrong but the military demographic would be far lower risk compared to the general population .019% death rate of those in boots who contracted covid but 0.13 for the whole DoD. That is what I would expect for the US military and as sure as .... you can bet Russia and China have vaxxed their soldiers to the max and instigated stringent health protocols.
Mind you there are 1,182,220 fully vaccinated service people and 358,160 partially vaccinated with a whopping 5,246,359 doses delivered to the DoD overall so far.
Now I ask you, the US military, with access to the the best technology and intel, the requirement for its service people to prepared for any threat. Do you really think that horse paste, or bullshitting each other along political lines is going to cut it, that the generals are taking a laissez faire approach to covid? Do you also think that if they thought the harm from the vax was greater than the virus they would reject it?
These people are practical and deal with reality, they are not buffoons
I know a guy who got lupus 2 days after buying new V4, coincidence I think not....
As an autoimmune disease, lupus occurs when your immune system attacks healthy tissue in your body. It's likely that lupus results from a combination of your genetics and your environment.
It appears that people with an inherited predisposition for lupus may develop the disease when they come into contact with something in the environment that can trigger lupus. The cause of lupus in most cases, however, is unknown. Some potential triggers include:
Sunlight. Exposure to the sun may bring on lupus skin lesions or trigger an internal response in susceptible people.
Infections. Having an infection can initiate lupus or cause a relapse in some people.
Medications. Lupus can be triggered by certain types of blood pressure medications, anti-seizure medications and antibiotics. People who have drug-induced lupus usually get better when they stop taking the medication. Rarely, symptoms may persist even after the drug is stopped.
Risk factors
Factors that may increase your risk of lupus include:
Your .... Lupus is more common in women.
Age. Although lupus affects people of all ages, it's most often diagnosed between the ages of 15 and 45.
Race. Lupus is more common in African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans.
