Hey OD, do they still use those pneumatic injection guns?

Just in Basic/OSUT. Fucking peanut butter shot.. Syringes mostly, though, save for the smallpox.

Those things were fucking evil and brutal.3 in the left arm and two in the right; bruised up sore arms and next day PT began.

LOLOL Old man's Flute nah he's pretty picky about who plays his Flute. Anyway I have my own, and it's bigger and better ha ha hahaaaaaaaaaa!! and I run twin pumps so it wasn't terrible I just swapped out the pump for the water feature to daily duty pump. I'm thinking about getting a Variable Speed pump. I am currently searching purchase of aforementioned pump, hopefully @neosapien can help me out here. Which one would you recomment Neo?

We've always used Hayward equipment. Variable pumps haven't caught on here yet, as electricity is still (kinda) affordable. I don't think it makes much difference who you go with, just like everything else these days, everything is fucking garbage. Planned obsolescence in the swimming pool industry is what keeps my seasonal ass afloat lol.

My wife has little round scars with dots on her bicep from some vaccines she was given in 3rd world China circa 1980's. Kinda cute looking.

Enjoy the scar now Neo, when she gets my age it will have faded away

Edit: I don't mean that as a metaphor for matrimonial bliss

I have a scar from my TB jab. It was like a big nasty raisin on my arm I remember, there were all sorts of myths about what'd happen if you knocked the scab off or let it get wet, everyone got done at like 14. Do they still? I know they do the HPV now, not sure how I feel about it, I saw something about one of the scientists that helped develop it issued a public apology cos it's only really necessary to use it the way we do in third world countries where they don't have sex education or contraception.

Really? Just last week or so USDH recommended that boys get HPV vac as well as girls, they are finding a relationship to various cancers in males and females due to HPV

 

[qwizoking]

Yeah fuck attentive it is highly over rated.


Yeah fuck that shit too.

I'm doing life backwards, right now is the completely irresponsible adolescent phase of the program, apparently.

But you gotta catch me first.

yea i kinda lied...

but it did cross my mind

I honestly haven't looked into it or read anything about it for a while, that's the last I read on it so I'm not in a position to say one way or the other; I just remember an article about this doctor issuing like an open letter of apology, and I won't vouch for the legitimacy of the article either because I don't remember where I read it. I do remember there were some unpleasant Youtube videos accompanying it, of girls suffering with what were apparently side effects from the vaccine, but again I can't remember the details and am not sure there was any actual medical evidence in the videos or whether it was just emotional viewing.

Because you want to infringe on the rights of others. Shame on you for that.

Actually I'm protecting myself and luved ones..people who decide not to vaccinate are taking away my childs right to be safe by exposing her to diseases her small body can't yet fight. .hence the need to vaccinate. ..shame on those people for spreading diseases and murdering babies.

I stood in that line - like 6 or 8 fuckers with guns & you just walked down the line & they hitcha.
"Don't move or it'll cut ya" was the mantra.

And don't tense up. Of course some guys fainted and they'd make those who didn't faint haul them out, when you could barely move your arms

And why I said ANTI anti-vaxers.

Geez, I read that over 3 times and didn't see the 2 "anti's" Sorry.

I don't agree with anit'vaxers but I DO think the amount and rate they vaccinate newborns is insane. Can't they spread them out a bit more??

they could spread them out, but they try to get as many in because generally people aren't good at making return visits.

if you had a TB ppd skin test and it left anything more than a 1/2 pea sized bleb that dissipated within 15 minutes, they did it wrong.

if you are vaccinated and you are breast feeding, your kid is fine. if he/she too old for breast feeding i'm SURE you have them vaccinated, so they are in no danger. so drop the pretentiousness. neither me nor other anti-vaxers pose a threat to you oh-so safe vaccinated folks, and we aren't willing to be injected with poison and science projects to give you a false sense of security. choice is a bitch isn't it?

How do you not pose a threat of you're not vaxed and contract measles or whooping cough and pass it to other non vaxed folks and then we see a re emergence of otherwise eradicated diseases?

i am vaccinated for some things having been in the military. i refuse things like pneumovax, flu, and most updates. the formulas changed awhile back, and haven't gotten anything since.
