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.
I hope a drunken Pete Hegseth gets some form of super flu.
Oh, I’m sure he’s fully vaccinated. All the people against vaccines pretty much are.
and fully drunk.
Ahh good point.
he has enough alcohol in his blood to neutralize the flu.
One of my friends works for Lackland, and “self-made pandemic” sounds about right.
Piss Pot Pete strikes again.
Make a sentence using the following words: Door, bolted, horse, closing, after.
“I bolted the door after closing the horse”
I’m not sure what point you’re making, though.
eeeeee we independently came up with very similar sentences
after the door bolted, the i closed the horse.
especially since new flu strains is more severe in young people in close quarters than in older people or people who had alot of flu infections.

Get your flu shot 😆
In bulk, please
“I’m sorry, additional flu shots aren’t covered. You get one per season.”
“I said, ‘Hit me again’!!”
“I’m sorry, additional flu shots aren’t covered. You get one per season.”
