US Navy Warship Pauses Deployment After COVID-19 Outbreak Among ‘100 Percent Immunized’ Crew
Epoch Times ^ | 12/24/2021 | Mimi Nguyen Li

A U.S. Navy warship has paused its deployment to South America due to a COVID-19 outbreak among its “100 percent immunized” crew, the Navy announced on Christmas Eve.

“USS Milwaukee (LCS 5), a Freedom variant littoral combat ship, remains in port as some Sailors test positive for COVID-19,” the U.S. 4th Fleet said in a statement.

“The crew is 100 percent immunized and all COVID-19 positive Sailors are isolated on board and away from other crew members. A portion those infected have exhibited mild symptoms. The vaccine continues to demonstrate effectiveness against serious illness.”

The ship currently remains in port at Naval Station Guantanamo Bay, located at the southeastern end of Cuba.

The U.S. 4th Fleet’s statement did not quantify the number of those infected, nor how many among them are exhibiting mild symptoms.

The specific COVID-19 variant has yet to be determined.

Well, if they are 100% vaccinated who infected them? No more liberty or family contact I guess.

RE: Spin THIS!

They did. They said: “The vaccine continues to demonstrate effectiveness against serious illness.”

Well, it’s aluminium. Not like you can do much to keep the salt water from staining it.

Yes, there are 2 variants of the LCS - the Freedom and Independence classes.

Both are aluminium hulls, and not very thoughtful of a design.

I’d rather have some more Arleigh Burke DDG’s and more Tico CGN’s, but I don’t get to be SecNav.

The Freedom class looks rather conventional. The Independence class ships just look weird.

And nothing says

” burn it down to the waterline “

like a warship made of aluminum instead of steal.

Smh.

Almost 0 of these healthy young sailors would have had serious results from coronavirus or any flu, regardless of vaccination status. Maybe, if they had not been vaccinated, they would not have even been infected with Covid-19 due to their own natural immune system fighting it off.

Or not. Good luck trying to prove that counterfactual.

100’s maybe thousands of people stuffed into a berthing compartment and cold runs thru the crew and the navy is surprised?

I'd be surprised too if I knew everybody had a vaccine that protected them from the cold. But, with these "vaccines", we all know better...

I think properly applied condom works better to prevent pregnancy than sham vaccine that will never prevent Covid and therefore never eliminate death from Covid. Proper early treatment and good health will go farther to prevent deaths
