    That's not at all what I said. But once again I'm glad you read what you wanted to and that I'm the bad guy and you're the hero doing the right thing.

    And yet in a few minutes of googling I can find that both labels are still covered by as approved countermeasures under the PREP Act and thus both are shielded from litigation. It's like people found the answer they wanted to hear and then stopped looking ?

    My teammates are allowed to apply for religious or medical exemptions as set forth by an agency that has been incredibly understanding and empathetic towards their concerns. They are given ample resources via access to medical and religious professionals to help them make their decisions. I...

    The medical world has a very good handle on this issue. They're aware of it and know how to treat it and have assessed that the occurrence and risk of this condition is outweighed by the benefits. That they don't know why it's happening is an interesting problem to attempt to fix in the next...

    Contracts can be modified but changing the scope of the work will require extra money to do the additional tasks. Also many of these doses have probably left the control of Pfizer so someone else would have to do it. But we're probably talking about MILLIONS of stickers (probably one for the...

    Or that it's not in the contract. I've seen this same sticker issue in the DOD and no one is going to swap out millions of labels for free (although I did once offer up the services of my children who loved stickers at the time). So yes, it'd cost more $$$. Maybe it's someone being a good...

    I understand fully what you're saying wrt airplanes. And usually there's a specific, if minute, technical or paperwork difference between the experimental and regular aircraft. But if there actually isn't a difference then your company needs to articulate that to the FAA and not let your...

    I'm sorry, is there actually an argument that now that the Pfizer shot has a formal name that there's some sort of difference because the sticker on the bottle is different? Bud Light in a fancy can is still bid light. Advil and Ibuprofen are still the same thing. It's like I see each new...

    Explain the difference between a mandated vaccine for school and a mandated vaccine for a new virus? Perhaps your employer has never had to mandate vaccines because so many folks got them for school and the work was already done? Also, private schools still require vaccines. But since you're...

    Name another virus with similar stats that most (ie, herd immunity) of Americans aren't vaccinated for as a requirement to attend school. There isn't one as this is the first widespread respiratory pandemic since vaccines have been widely available. So while an unprecedented requirement it's...

    Space Force Officer Relieved After Denouncing CRT/Marxism

    That's not what I was arguing with my post nor what we've been discussing. But thanks for the unrelated tangent of pandemic vitriol.

    We certainly will . But I'd offer the fact that 80% of Americans over the age of 18 have at least one dose is a leading indicator as to scope of impacts.

    I think the bold part because just about every country in the world supported by their best apolitical virologists, epidemiologists, and public health professionals have come to the same answer that the vaccines are safe and necessary to return to normal life. If that's not scientific and...

    If you knew what he was trying to say you sure didn't respond like it. You're all over the place and even the conspiracy theory I think you're trying to present isn't well articulated (big pharma is in league with the USG to ensure they make as much profit as possible via vaccine mandates?).

    SWA: Sick out? Work stoppage? ATC? WX? Oppression? Violation of rights? Tantrum?

    This has nothing to do with what Flash responded to.

The point @Flash was making to your original post was that the USG has invested...

    I'm not sure what this has to do with the post of mine you quoted. Earlier you had said "we've paid twice" and I said "no, we've paid for different things." Via Operation Warp Speed the government paid several pharma companies to develop, test, and jf viable, produce a ton of vaccines. Some...

    You kind of hit on the root cause, but essentially two manufacturing lines got out of sync. The chip manufacturers don't want to make the chips anymore that the auto industry is using and the auto manufacturers didn't update their designs for the newer chips.

    Is there anything I can do to guarantee a pilot slot in the Navy?

    You can still have plenty of fun on an NROTC scholarship*. I'd assume you could also graduate early if you managed to meet the requirements. Did you ask for a scholarship to the other school? I don't know how the process works these days so I'd be curious if someone could get into a school...

    We aren't getting double charged. We're paying for two separate things. Although that's a maybe because I think several of the vaccines were developed using independent R&D funds.

    You take antivirals once you have COVID. They're not preventative. So I'd imagine navy medicine for follow the approved treatment protocol for antivirals in the event a member gets COVID.

    I went to a leading engineering school and never saw anyone during my 4.5yrs there get nuke drafted. Granted this was 20yrs ago and i know it's a thing that happens sometimes but I still don't think it happens so often that it's something the OP should be worried about. I had a STEM degree...

    Each commissioning source provides about 1/3 of the Navy's aviators. 20yrs later Im glad I picked NROTC because not having any college debt during my life has been awesome. USNA would also do this for you.

    Is there anything I can do to guarantee a pilot slot in the Navy?

    I've heard very few stories of NROTC or USNA midshipman who requested aviation and then didn't get selected for it. Sure those commissioning sources are subject to the needs of the Navy but, in general, the USN works hard to let folks serve in the way they desire. Most of the service selection...

    What were the steps to becoming a naval aviator?

    Didn't do it. Didn't need it for commissioning program. Which commissioning program you do depends on where you are in life (OCS is post undergrad) I was a helluva engineer. You don't have to be. Each squadron is required to have a guy who majored in gym, Sanskrit, music, or theater. Have fun...
