So, the obvious prediction came true...

Good luck pushing cloth shots now, when the nature created a much better alternative. And it will get even better soon.

Oh yeah, I was gonna do a thread on this, but there’s a study that just came out that found that Omicron has a really interesting gene sequence.

This sequence isn’t found in any other variant of COVID, but it is found in one of the variants of the common cold (the common cold is also caused by a coronavirus).

This suggests that Omicron may have been the result of a crossover event where a patient was infected with both COVID-19 and the cold at the same time, and both got into the same cell during replication.

The result appears to be a COVID variant that is more infectious, but less lethal than the prior variants.

Or.... you could make a pregnancy exception for the draft, and then fake out war 10 times in a row.

Congratulations, you fixed the fertility rate for a generation :alexjonessmile2:

@Shadowman311
That's the point I'm making.
You send one pregnant women to battlefield, and no women will get pregnant during the crisis.

Or, if you send them home, all of them will become pregnant as soon as things get tough.

Your choice.

@ArdanianRight @Shadowman311
Obviously.

But: Morality is also an important factor. If you make an example, and send a preggers mom to the front lines, you won't loose 1/2 the fighting force the moment a real battle starts.

Was it a mistake to accept women in the first place? Absolutely. But now, the least you can do is to try forging them into sodiers. No matter how many of them end up broken and infertile.

Yes. My mom cannot be trusted with anything. And I mean it.
I tell her not to send photos over facebook. She does it anyway, and gets insulted that I dare to point up her promise.

She promises to not send me spam. Few days later, I gat the "send to 10 people unless you want to get cursed" message.

How hard is it to be a decent human being FFS?

> Maybe they should be honorably discharged upon receiving a positive test and sent home to care for their kids?

No. The nation spend way too much training on them all to just miraculously get discharged 3 months into any serious conflict.

On the contrary, they are breaking their service. If women want to be in military, they can, but do not let them escape their duty for free. Let them suffer the same way a man has to.

>tell teenagers that they have nothing to look forward to but student debt and middle management and they will NEVER own a house
>tell them that there is no way they can reasonably expect to be married or have children that care for them
>prevent them from travelling or doing all the active activities that youth are supposed to be doing unless they comply with medical tyranny
>finally, tell them that they are privileged oppressors simply because they're white
I wonder why all these teenagers are turning to fringe ideologies?
@Wormwood
>Young people are LEADING all of the hate movements in America.

Yeah because neoliberalism has left us with fucking nothing so people are running to whatever fringe ideology they most agree with because at least those promise a better future, whereas the current system just promises corporate servitude and a continued destruction of anything good and decent.

When the ideology of an empire offers nothing to the youth, they will find another.
