I want to understand this issue better. I never served so I do not completely understand military chain of command, orders, punishment, and rights or lack thereof.
Is requiring vaccination a lawful military order? Not whether or not it was a bad idea. I’ve heard from ex-military family that there was no question about it. You got vaccinated as ordered and some missions even required extraordinary vaccines. But others said they could be refused under proper guidelines and adjudication.
If a vaccine is refused and deemed insubordination what is the proper punishment?
Who has the authority to require military vaccines?
“Is requiring vaccination a lawful military order?”
It is, at least when I was in and on world wide mobility
status. I kept an extra duffle bag in my car. I was required
to ready to go anywhere in the world 24/7 with an hour or so notice. I filled up two Yellow UN shot records books.
Big difference, I was given proven, tested vaccinations,
not experimental stuff approved outside conventional practices.
When I served, me and a couple other guys refused a vaccination. They held our paychecks until we took it.
First of all, it isn't a vaccine as was proven when it didn't work. It was an experiment, and it's an unlawful order. The military brass knew that already from the Anthrax shots, when pilots especially came with lawyers and smacked around the military brass who had given the unlawful order.
It was experimental. It didn't work. People already had immunity, etc., and yet the order was still given.
