More than 300 recruits at the Marines’ boot camp in San Diego are suffering from diarrheal symptoms from an bacterial outbreak, officials disclosed on Tuesday.
With most of the cases linked to Shiga toxin-producing E.coli bacteria physicians are treating 302 patients out of the more than 5,500 candidates undergoing training at Marine Corps Recruit Depot.
...
The bacteria was identified in recruits at both the depot and at Edson Range at Camp Pendleton beginning on Wednesday but the number of cases spiked on Monday, officials said.
Ten recruits were transported to an undisclosed hospital off the base for additional care.

Family members will be notified if the illnesses delays a recruit’s graduation date and no drill instructors or other base staffers appear to have contracted the malady, he added.
While investigators continue searching for the source of the contagion, commanders have quarantined sick recruits from those who have yet to display symptoms, mandated increased hand washing and ensured proper sanitation in all training areas, officials said.

It explains why democrats are what they are.
AFAIK, you can't vaccinate for E. Coli
Maybe it’s just San Diego syndrome.
Or too many muzzies who wipe their butt with their fingers working in the chow line..
My Grandson is in the affected group, currently at MCRD (yes, I’m proud!). A month ago, half of ‘em had some pneumonia crud. Wonder if there’s any correlation between the ones who had that and the sick ones, now.
We are like 37 days from graduation (Dec 8), praying for ALL of the recruits!

That’s right... but it has to be a homebrew.
Winner!
USAF basic training was moved from Lackland AFB in San Antonio to Amarillo AFB in 1966 or so because of meningitis......Huh? Lackland was there in 1969.
"Largely because of a meningitis outbreak at Lackland AFB, in February 1966 the Air Force diverted incoming recruits to Amarillo, a base scheduled to close in July 1968.
Lackland sent a sizable cadre of permanent party personnel to Amarillo to assist. It was not until the latter part of March that Lackland was back to normal. However, due to the influx of trainees for the Vietnam buildup, Amarillo continued basic military training until November 1968. The last class was graduated on 11 December 1968."
AFAIK, you are correct but I’m not talking about that. I’m wondering what else was in the vaccines.
An example of what I am writing about is https://www.nature.com/articles/s41541-017-0024-6?error=cookies_not_supported&code=008fa910-ba6e-4eeb-840a-5439999b3897
My use of the subject at that link is intended to be an example of the increasing capabilities of science. It is not a claim that it is the specific cause for the outbreak of the recruit illness.
Since I do not have even a little bit of trust in this politically criminal controlled government my concern is DoD cooperation, knowingly or not, in the testing of an advanced means of population control. Where better for advanced testing than in a controlled environment of a military boot camp?
