COMHSLWINGLANT?

Bubbas, Can anyone point to a web site covering the history of COMHSLWINGLANT from 1989 through 1992? I would like to re-connect with the Commodore I worked with as the SH2G FIT O-in-C. First, I have to figure out who he was! -- Best regards, Jim Lowder 806-731-3906

Re: Exclusive: War Dept. Battles Internal Resistance To Reinstate 86 Soldiers Ejected By Covid Shot Mandate

Au contraire, mon frère! 1. The evidence available from the CDC at the time the order was given showed that the vaccines were largely *ineffective*. By the time the military mandate was signed on August 24, 2021, data from* the CDC and international partners had already confirmed that the vaccines were failing to prevent infection and transmission. *Here is what was specifically known at that time: *The "Provincetown" Revelation (July 2021)* Weeks before the mandate, the CDC released a report on a July 4th outbreak in Provincetown, Massachusetts, finding that *74%* of the COVID-19 cases in the outbreak occurred in *fully vaccinated* individuals. The study also revealed that vaccinated people carried *the same viral load* in their noses and throats as unvaccinated people. This proved definitively that vaccinated individuals could transmit the virus just as easily as the unvaccinated. *CDC Admitted They Could Not Stop Transmission* Because of the Provincetown data, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky went on television in early August 2021 and publicly admitted that the vaccines could no longer prevent transmission. On August 5, 2021, Walensky stated on CNN: *"... what [the vaccines] can't do anymore is prevent transmission."* *Israel’s "Crystal Ball" (Waning Efficacy)* Interestingly, Israel, which had vaccinated its population faster than any other nation, was serving as the world's early warning system. By August 2021, their data was showing a catastrophic drop in protection against infection. In July and August 2021, Israeli Ministry of Health data showed that the Pfizer vaccine's effectiveness against *infection* had dropped to *39%* (down from the promised 95 Israel began administering booster shots in July 2021, proving that the initial "two-dose" regimen was a failure in terms of lasting immunity. The US announced its own plan for boosters on August 18, 2021—six days *before* the military mandate was issued—effectively admitting the primary series was already waning. By the time soldiers were ordered to take the shot to "maintain force readiness," the Pentagon already knew the shot would not prevent those soldiers from getting infected, getting sick, or infecting their unit members. In August 2021, it was widely known by data analysts and health officials that the mRNA vaccines were *"leaky"*—they reduced symptom severity (temporarily) but failed to provide the sterilizing immunity necessary to stop the spread of the virus. The mandate was issued *after* this failure was confirmed. 2. Yes, the Biden administration gave a foolish order that should have been illegal, and punished patriotic Americans who rightfully refused the order, as was later determined in court.
