“I remember the air gun vaccinations in the army. Get in a line and both arms...whomp whomp both arms...and a little stream of blood.”

Which is one reason vets had Hep C at a rate ten times the general population’s.

The VA never would admit that this was a risk factor. Worked out for them, though. Most of us are dead now.

Gee, that sounds almost idyllic! Hate to be a cynic, but I’m finding these stories to be hard to believe. I mean, I hope they’re true, but they just don’t sound like the USSR. Who was their source -— Bernie Sanders?

No half measures indeed:

Excerpt: The Boomers Will Sacrifice Themselves on the Beaches of COVID-19 (March 24 class="western">“Of course, the mortality rate suffered by Americans in World War II is modest when compared to their enemies (including those of all ages who died under the rain of bombs dropped on Tokyo and Dresden) and most of their allies. Two thirds of males born in the Soviet Union in 1923 were dead by 1945, with a 7.2 percent death rate for Soviet soldiers of all nationalities. And it wasn’t just the Germans who killed Soviets: the Red Army executed 217,000 of its own men for desertion, over half the number of total U.S. combat deaths throughout the entire war. (“It takes a brave man to be a coward in the Red Army,” Soviet Marshall Georgy Zhukov observed.)” (https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-boomers-will-sacrifice-themselves-on-the-beaches-of-covid-19/)
