The US Navy decided to remove unvaccinated sailors from ships

The Pentagon indicates the difficulties of the vaccination situation in the American army and in navy... It is noted that some military personnel violate the directive of the military department on compulsory vaccination, refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19. The most tense situation in this regard is in the US naval forces. The difficulty is that, according to the US military, many of those who have refused vaccination are currently on long sea voyages or stay at remote American military bases.

According to the new directive, servicemen from November 28 of this year will be suspended from service if they are not vaccinated against coronavirus infection. In particular, it is indicated that this measure will also affect American sailors.

From a statement by the Pentagon's press service:

Seafarers will be removed from ships and support vessels in the event that they are not vaccinated, if they refused to be vaccinated. We cannot jeopardize the lives and health of the crews, we cannot refuse to conduct operations. In some cases, sailors removed due to refusal to vaccinate will be replaced by vaccinated servicemen on ships.

In this regard, the question arises as to how the US Navy is going to implement the Pentagon directive regarding the submariners, many of whom may be on long patrols? So far, the US military department leaves this question unanswered.

Meanwhile, statistics are provided: unvaccinated military personnel in the US Navy at the moment are about 2 percent. This is about 7 thousand people. Many of them are on ships that carry out missions in the waters of the oceans.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby noted that in general, about 96,7% of the military (out of a total of 1,4 million) have been vaccinated in the United States. Of these, 83,7% received both doses of the vaccine.

The largest number of cases of coronavirus in the US Navy was detected at a time last year - on the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt. Then on board COVID-19 was diagnosed in about 1200 crew members. After that, the ship was sent to the port on the island of Guam, where it was disinfected for about 3 weeks.

Do they have a mandatory or voluntary-compulsory vaccination like ours? Here, after all, they give orders to get vaccinated, but you have to sign that you yourself came voluntarily and take all responsibility on yourself, and the state has nothing to do with it.

Apparently the same. Here they are chasing the submariners! )))

[Terenin]

With regard to cases of coronavirus infection, a crappy situation is developing in all the US armed forces: the military command refuses to recognize cases of SARS-CoV-2 infection among personnel, and silences those who begin to sound the alarm.

[Cat Alexandrovich]

M. b. That is why they slammed their boat in the face so that the unvaccinated sailors could return to the base as soon as possible? With a syringe and enema.

Immediately I remembered our film "Dolphin's Cry" in the USSR. There is a scene. The crew of the American nuclear submarine contracted an unknown disease. And they were offered two options, options were offered on the deck in a drift, against the background of Kildin Island (for filming, even a BRDM, some kind of kicked out of the base. I witnessed the filming) The first option: You serve until you recover. The second option, we change you, and you are on this island in the absservator (and he is so snowy, sunny, blown by all the winds) Dzhigarkhanyan, and he played the boatswain there: Nafig, I nafig on the boat, especially since I have 10 kg of heroin there. Who is with me? No one stayed on the deck. The film is prophetic in its own way.

[Vladimir_2U]

Something I do not remember what the options would be offered to them. Not in the film, not in the book. In short, it turned out as in the proverb "Serve as a sailor as I served, and I put a bolt on the service!"

[tralflot1832]

Another episode from the film: The crew receives food from the pontoon so that there is no contact. One sailor hides after loading on the panton, the boat leaves. Cap gives a dive and looks into the perescope, at the panton. And there this sailor makes a tap dance, like I'm free (sailor played by the famous Soviet tap dancer) and here there are hubs and there is no panton, everything is to pieces. Type antiepidiamic treatment. We just played this film to the holes on the voyage.

It was, yes! In the book, the author also added drama, such as the signal for detonation coincided in frequency with the signal to the device from the wife of one of the sailors and she was like - "My Johnny is alive! The State Department is lying to us all !!" Not literally, of course, but to the point.

Overboard them directly from the deck like pirates of the 16th century, only instead of a yedra, attach a tomahawk or anti-ship missile harpoon, although you can tie it to a rocket and so shoot towards the US coast , and tied submariners through torpedo tubes to MK48 and it is also desirable to shoot towards the United States or their bases

What is the problem then? Overboard them!

[tralflot1832]

In principle, the captain has many rights on board, but if he himself is not vaccinated? Today I will ask a friend, the contract is signed only with the vaccine against covid?

[grandfather_Kostya]

Logic always surprised: vaccination is needed so that the disease does not take, then how can an unvaccinated person scare you?

[tralflot1832]

When I went to sea. If you want to go south, vaccinations against yellow fever and malaria are required for everyone!

[grandfather_Kostya]

With this case, it is understandable: they went ashore to stretch their legs, picked up the infection and into the bed, and the rest of the crew works "for that guy." Well, it's not good to bring infection from the tropics to your native shore. But to remove from the ship not vaccinated against a disease that could be picked up at home? From my own experience, I know that most people tolerate covidla almost like a trivial flu.

[tralflot1832]

A friend during covid last year, walked around Latin America. It was very difficult, they did not let go to the shore at all, even to the pier. Changing the crew, a wild problem. They had to go to Murmansk half empty from Lat. America. Now this problem is still not resolved due to mutual non-recognition of vaccinations.

[Glory1974]

They used to say that if 60% get sick, there will be herd immunity and the covid is not scary. Then they said that it is necessary to get vaccinated with the same 60% + those who have recovered and the epidemic will end.
In fact, the more ill and the more vaccinated, the more infected. At the beginning of the epidemic, there were 10 infected in Russia, after hundreds of thousands of those who had been ill and millions of vaccinated, the disease is getting more and more, now it has exceeded 000.
Where is the logic? The United States has 2% of the unvaccinated in the Navy, and they decide to remove them from service. What does the command of the Navy know that we don’t know? In society, this percentage of vaccination will never be achieved. So the pandemic won't end?

[EugenPin]

As time has shown, this leprosy can only be fought by the Chinese method, for a couple of months in compulsory isolation by the whole country and strict control of the border, there are no other ways yet.

Isn't it easier to vaccinate by order? Or is it that the most "democratic democracy" does not allow it to be done, therefore, the shortage of the crew is preferable?

[Yun Klob]

- Not vaccinated? - overboard!

[Sergey3]

It's a pity for the fish, they will get infected more ...
