US Army Removes COVID Vaccine Requirement for Recruits Following Historic Low in Recruitment Since 1973
Gateway Pundit ^ | 11/16/3023 | Jim Hoft

The United States Army has removed the COVID-19 vaccine requirement for new recruits.

The Army’s recruitment challenges have been mounting in recent years, exacerbated by the stringent COVID-19 vaccine mandates that were previously in place.

Recruiting has been hampered by COVID-19 vaccine requirements as well as an increasingly woke military atmosphere where trans soldiers are give special privileges while Christian soldiers are persecuted, bases host drag shows, and leaders with a history of anti-white statements are hired.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin mandated the experimental COVID-19 vaccine for all military personnel on August 24, 2021, and like thousands of others across the Department of Defense (DOD)…

Caveat Emptor. mRNA vaccines are now part of other mandatory jabs like the yearly Flu Shot. They simply don’t need to force COVID jabs any longer.

I’m not sure if I’ll ever get a vaccine again of any type. I no longer trust the medical industry to look out for me. The pharmaceutical and medical industries been captured by government and just a few major multinational, corporations that do not give a s1it about me or Americans in general. I have absolutely no trust in those totalitarian goons.

The Army are the experts in this sort of thing, they should know all about it, so why the political game-playing.

I went to urgent care a couple times in the last few months. Each time they asked if I was current on my Tetanus shot. I told them I was not current but didn’t want the shot.

(They must get a bonus for selling the shot)

I looked up some stats later. Before the Tetanus shot, about 400 people a year got tetanus in the US, a statistically insignificant number. Since the shot, it’s about 100, again, statistically insignificant.

Since my trust of the medical establishment had downgraded from general ambivalence to visceral distrust in the last few years, you’re not poking me with any needles.

I used to get the annual flu shot. No more. My own doctor stated that covid crap would be mixed with that shot.

The drug industry in their greed created a huge distrust of their products with the covid scamdemic.

And many Americans were awakened to our very own elitists engaging in population reduction schemes.

Like good leftists they are creating their own problems and the Army’s recruitment issues are but another example.

Socialism fails every time it’s tried. Examples above are proof our own dear leaders are failures, yet they will relentlessly keep at it until they are removed or the country falters altogether.

I’m considering planting a willow tree just so I can source my own aspirin.

Calendula, California Poppy and Birch Bark are also good for that and more potent.

Hmmm.....I do have a birch tree in the yard. And I can certainly grow calendula and poppy.

Never got the COVID vaccines and don't take the annual flu shots either. I'm pretty sure the COVID stuff is now mixed in with those totally unnecessary flu shots.

It's amazing how "mandatory COVID shots" just suddenly dropped from the radar. As recently as two years ago, you were a pariah for not taking them. Now everybody wants you to forget about it and pretend it never happened.

I looked up the percentage of the US population vaccinated for Covid 19. According to the CDC website https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#vaccinations_vacc-people-booster-percent-pop5 the vaccination rate for people age 12 and older is over 90%.
This website that breaks the data down by state https://www.statista.com/statistics/1202065/population-with-covid-vaccine-by-state-us/
There seems to be a correlation between southern and Midwestern states having lower vaccination rates.
2015 enlistment data by state from this website https://blog.theveteranssite.greatergood.com/states-enlistment-rates/
shows higher enlistment rates from southern and midwestern states. It appears to me that the military is having trouble recruiting from what, at one time, was their biggest source of recruits.
The question is if Covid 19 vaccination status is the only factor, I don't think it is.
If you were to consider recruits as the militaries customers, I think the military has brought a Bud Lite moment on themselves. The customers have begun to question whether or not there's something more aligned with their values available, maybe something better. That's hard to come back from, it's worse than a boycott.

The trust is gone. The DOD sacrificed our troops with their toxic injections. They destroyed military readiness and risked our national security. Many should face military tribunals and serve prison sentences for their part in these crimes against humanity..

From: Department of Defense Pilots Concerned by the COVID-19 Vaccine

Mandate To: Members of United States House and Senate

As the Department of Defense continues to mandate the COVID-19 vaccine, a clear and concerning trend of vaccine-induced injuries has become apparent across the force. As more vaccine injuries are discovered, it is apparent that the vaccine poses a great risk to our Nation's Security both by forcing the loss of highly qualified service members and causing potentially career-ending or life-threatening injuries to those who remain in service.
Enclosed in this report are: 7 written statements from military pilots and other service members injured by the vaccine, an Aviation Safety Officer's discovery of vaccine injuries that have gone unreported in VAERS, and multiple anecdotal reports of individuals injured by COVID-19 vaccines. This is just a small sample of many vaccine injured service members who have decided to come forward and share their heartbreaking stories.
Amongst these reports is a service member who experienced four strokes after vaccination, a Marine officer who has been denied a medical exemption from his second Pfizer dose despite developing Pericarditis from the first, and a US Navy O-6 with grave concerns about the damage this vaccine mandate has done to the force. The enclosed reports are broken into four Tiers:

Another way to look at CDC numbers would be this:

Number of people who got ONLY ONE JAB, 270 Million, 81%

Number of people who got “primary series” 230 Million, 69.5% Some said NO to second JAB. Compliance already dropping.

Number of people who got Bivalent Booster 56 Million 17%

Now Pfizer, FDA, CDC, etc. are saying the latest Jab is a vaccine NOT a booster, and SAY NOTHING about REQUIRING prior Jabs. Isn’t that ODD???

Not sure what “booster” we are on, but only a small percentage of sheep are still getting Jabbed. There are so many combinations of number of Jabs people have received, what is the current true definition of “fully vaccinated?” Is that definition even ligitimate?

The “mandates” may be removed but the damage is done.
