Ever really wonder what is in those military 'inoculations'

[Earth_First]

I really got to thinking recently about those inoculations I received throughout my military career. I especially enjoyed the fact that when I enlisted, I was ordered to receive two experimental inoculations for an anthrax vaccine and one for an experimental pneumonia vaccine. Makes you wonder what kind of 'chips' you may have had implanted.

Call it tinfoil, but I wonder.

1. I have always wondered that

myself. I spent 4 years in the Navy and did a Persian Gulf deployment. We got shots when we enlisted, and more shots when we deployed. Never did know what they were putting in my body for the most part.

2. By law, they are allowed to conduct experiments on the military

Nice, eh?

3. Item Number 101,563 your recruiter failed to mention.

9. That's horrible

Maybe we need to get behind VERPA

4. Kind of doubt that...

... you'd have something like an RFID implanted by injection. Putting solids in your bloodstream is a no-no--too easy to make a clot that can wind up in a place that could kill you, I would think.

Put away the tinfoil. :)

6. Many of these inoculations are not given directly to the bloodstream...

jabbed directly into your bicep.

One step forward. Jab. One step forward. Jab. One step forward...

7. Yeah, I know...

... all about `em. Plague shots fucked me up for three weeks.

But, you're right--would have to be small enough to get out of a capillary and into a vein. RFIDs are small, but probably not that small.

Cheers.

8. Plague One

did me too. Got me out of KP though.

5. You were a guinea pig

That is why they call you "government issue"--GI.

I had a long ago friend who was in the Rangers.
His platoon was doing beach manuvers in Georgia. A military helicopter flew over and dusted them with a spray. The next day they did a jump. When they parachuted to the ground everyone had busted eardrums and nosebleeds. After a doctor visit they were all immeadiately given honorable discharges. Last I heard he was still trying to get access to his military medical records. He was wondering if he should even have kids!

10. That's a sad story

At the very least they should tell you all they can to help you
