    "As of Tuesday, at least 222 recruits at Lackland Air Force Base, part of Joint Base San Antonio, had been diagnosed with the flu and four had been hospitalized, the two people familiar with the matter told ABC News.

    This marks a sharp increase from the 159 cases and two hospitalizations reported last week. The death of one recruit remains under investigation, though it is not yet clear whether it is tied to the outbreak, the sources said."

    222 sick, 4 in the hospital, and possibly one dead. That is what all this nonsense conservatives push leads to.

    Huh, maybe vaccines are good? Who would have thought? Not like they’re the crowning achievement of humanity or anything.

    That’s just the perfect breeding ground for a potential new Spanish Flu. Flu virus mutates quite quickly and if it has a bunch or hosts to infect and reproduce just means it keeps mutating, it just takes a few mutations to increase its virulence and we would have a new pandemic.

    These people are the fucking worst.
