Slightly Naval and Marine post

So this last Tuesday; 2/9/2021 the SWMBO and I are receiving our Pfizer-Biontech Covid-19 vaccine complements of the USN. As twenty of us are sitting in the banquet room of the Adm Kidd Club here in San Diego, I am reading the pamphlet the civilian nurse handed out. It states …”vaccine may prevent you from getting Covid-19. There is no FDA approved vaccine to prevent Covid-19”. Ok I knew that so why am I here, answer because the SWMBO said so. Heavy sigh. I read futher… “Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent Covid-19” Reading further on page two is the list of ingredients and one of the dozen or so ingredients is POTASSIUM. Hmmm my mind flashes to John Ringo’s “Black Tide Rising” four book series and then I hear the nurse still giving here dog and pony show lecture about the length of time to make an effective vaccine, yadda yadda. Turning to the LT who is in charge of all the Navy Corpsman giving the shots I asked him, “Why don’t just use spinal cords from (deceased) infected humans, drop in a blender, eradicated properly; instant vaccine with a booster.” The LT and a HM3 bust out laughing as did I, the nurse and the SWMBO giving us the evil eye for the interruption. Other people waiting listened to the reason for our laughing and dozen smart phones and tablets are looking up John Ringo’s book series. How to create a bigger fan base.

Note: this is an excellent series on how to board vessels at sea to take care of pandemic...  I will say to more except the four books are an excellent read which makes you think about situational awareness...
