USFK Personnel Must Take PCR COVID Test Upon Arrival in South Korea
Is this a sign that the COVID protocols are slowly starting to come back?:
U.S. military travelers arriving in South Korea must immediately take a polymerase chain reaction, or PCR, test for COVID-19, according to a policy update by U.S. Forces Korea on Monday.
The change applies to all arrivals regardless of their vaccination status, according to a post on USFK’s official Facebook page.
USFK personnel, including family members, Defense Department civilian employees and contractors, should take the PCR test within a day of their arrival in South Korea. Their movements are restricted until the test returns a negative result.
The command adjusted its PCR test policy “in order to align with [South Korea’s] entry requirement changes,” its website said.
South Korea on Monday reinstated its requirement that travelers take a PCR test within a day of arriving in the country, a change from a three-day window.

That is an odd policy to use for a Safe & Effective vaccine that has been mandated for everyone involved.
The military covid rate should be… uh… zero.
Maybe if they had more boosters?
Policy went from with in 72 hours of arrival to this new policy….both ridiculous.
So… here are a few questions:
– Is it better for “readiness” (as was the excuse given right here on ROK Drop) to kick someone out who refuses the vaccine, because they might get the sniffles for a week, and recruit someone new to replace them? My guess is a trained guy that gets covid will spend less time sick than a new recruit will spend in tranny acceptance training.
– We know the vaccine is now essentially zero effective after this much time and this many strains. We knew exactly this would happen. We knew it was a complete waste of time, money, and resources while it endangered military members with side effects and protected them from nothing. Is all the military covid testing for the vaccinated an admission they aren’t effective? Is the military slinking away from mandatory boosters and not making sure everyone is “up to date” to “ensure readiness” telling us they are not effective… or not safe (based on the very good military medical records that got exposed and then got modified with the thin excuse of “but we made a mistake… let’s correct that”).
This is all fùckery. The vaccine is clearly not effective and it is looking increasingly like it isn’t safe (though it may take years to decades to prove that).
Some of you keep lying to yourselves to rationalize your poor life choices.
Don’t forget your boosters.
just like I keep saying-this stuff is NEVER going away. Koreans are going to have to wear masks for many years to come.
