Tragic story about a brother Green Beret;

I met a GB yesterday who has suffered multiple heart attacks since getting his first COVID shot. He did not want the shot & waited till he was ordered to get it.

A reason he didn’t want it was bc another GB from his unit already…

“Tragic story about a brother Green Beret;

I met a GB yesterday who has suffered multiple heart attacks since getting his first COVID shot. He did not want the shot & waited till he was ordered to get it.

A reason he didn’t want it was bc another GB from his unit already suffered medical side effects from it. Tho his leadership was aware of this, they still pushed him to get the shot.

He now can’t elevate his heart rate & passes out in the shower regularly.

What’s worse, he has no retirement, didn’t receive a med board, but was admin separated. He received no retirement payments & barely collects disability.

He is fighting to change that & upgrade his VA benefits.

He knows many others VAX injured by this shot. Sadly, the injury & way he was treated are NOT isolated cases.

When I texted him if I could post this, he informed me he was in the ER bc he was having a flair up.”

General Bishop’s comments:

This is why we shouldn’t let this issue drop from our crosscheck. Three AF Academy cadets don’t have heart attacks for no reason either.

Admiral–reminds me of the zoom full of about 40-50 Coasties you invited Mike and I to.

“The Coast Guard has not only put our health at risk with this vaccine mandate, they have stolen our souls” is a quote forever etched in my brain.

Our military will take years to recover from this leadership-generated lack of trust.

Seems to me this gentleman behind the X post got a pretty good promise from the former President that, if elected, he would take appropriate action here. As we are frequently reminded, “no one is above the law.”

And as we have frequently discussed–it is amazing just how easily the military’s legal and medical communities were co-opted by this authoritarian Marxist-like march. Absent on duty.

As we all know, if our government really wanted to ignore all the data on how little threat there was to military-aged folks from COVID (95 deaths in 18 months vs 590+ due to suicide in the same time period) (and mandate everyone in the service get the vaccine), there was a legal way to do it.

Instead they created “sham” processes (quote from one Federal Court deciding on the matter), got government agencies to cover up the real data, and protected Big Pharma to the hilt while kicking 8400+ patriotic (mostly conservative and religious folks I would assume) service members out on the streets at a time when their DEI policies were making recruiting efforts the toughest in a generation.
