Let's see if the are being told about the documented risks, because the CDC/Fauci are hiding risks from the rest of the public.
Informed Consent: Covid-19 vaccination risk of Antibody Dependent Enhancement Results of the study: COVID-19 vaccines designed to elicit neutralising antibodies may sensitise vaccine recipients to more severe disease than if they were not vaccinated.
Vaccines for SARS, MERS and RSV have never been approved, and the data generated in the development and testing of these vaccines suggest a serious mechanistic concern... disease via antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE).
This risk is sufficiently obscured in clinical trial protocols and consent forms for ongoing COVID-19 vaccine trials that adequate patient comprehension of this risk is unlikely to occur, obviating truly informed consent by subjects in these trials."
Someone else can go die in the desert.
Feels like a triple negative, or something. Not clear writing, in my opinion. In simple language, the proposal is just to make the vaccine mandatory for all military?
This is exactly why no one should take the jab.
Probably if I were military I would demand a medical discharge or medical retirement depending on my length of service.
This shot is NOT a vaccine - it is an experimental “treatment” ....
I dodged my "mandatory" flu shot while in the USAF in '73.
Active Duty ping.
You notice when Democrats pull this crap the media dignifies them with the title “lawmakers”.
When Republicans do it, it’s “Republicans in Congress”
“-they should not have their rights stripped from them because they volunteered to serve.”
Did you serve?
I know when I was in I received untold numbers of shots. And it was not possible to decline.
A good number of times we didn’t even know what we were getting.
I’m astounded the Pentagon has not ordered this already and are awaiting POTUS directive.
No, none of them has a right to decline this shot. They are property of the US Government.
Once you enter the military your rights aren't governed by the constitution, per se, but by the UCMJ, Uniform Code of Military Justice.
Congress passed a law earlier to allow military members to opt out of the vaccine.
That this mandatory vaccine law is being pressed now by democrats just shows the hate and disdain they have for our Troops and for freedom.

I wouldn’t stay in the military unless the US were being attacked, which it isn’t.
I read 2 different reports about this. One said 57% of active-duty Marines refused the vaccine. Another said, 40%.
I am retired. I went to my base clinic a couple of months ago with my wife for our annual. We were both asked if we wanted the Jab. We both asked if the vaccine is still categorized as EXPERIMENTAL. The answer was, yes. We both told our PCP no thanks.
First it will be mandatory for members of the services.
Then for family members of service members.
Then the rest of us.
The military needs to remember how the Biothax program turned out...
This is totally anectodical, so take it for what it’s worth. Our oldest is nearly completing a five-year stint in the Army National Guard in a military intelligence unit. At a company-wide meeting two months ago, they were offered the jab - no takers. He said the captain was matter-of-fact, that the jab was not mandatory but was available, and without any volunteers at the time, moved on to other business.
His ETS date is in 24 days. His last drill is this weekend. As proud as we were to see him join, successfully complete basic and AIT, and as proud as we are that he will be honorably discharged, we’re glad he’s getting out. It’s just too weird these days. His unit was originally set to deploy in April but that was delayed until late June. Before all of this, he wanted to get deployed, to utilize the skills for which he was trained, but now, he’s looking forward to separation.
It’s a shame - his unit was relatively new when he joined four and a half years ago, and they’re retention rate is close to zero.
I’m thinking that violates the Geneva convention. And used against our own military....
A problem with not having the troops vaccinated is that there ae many countries that will not allow unvaccinated people past the border. Unvaccinated travelers arriving from Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bahrain, Belarus, the European Union, Israel, Kazakhstan, Norway, Northern Ireland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Turkey, Ukraine, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, most of central America, or the United States must present a negative COVID-19 PCR test result conducted within 72 hours prior to travel. It would put a huge cost on the US government to secure those tests and places the troop on a non-worldwide status. Some require a test again 3 days later prior to entry. That is enough to be discharged with no questions asked. Or at best allowed to finish term. And the reason for the discharge is going to be tricky and will probably be general with honorable conditions at my guess.

I would think having a reservoir of people without the vaccine would serve as a business continuity function, such that if vaccinated people did get problems, we’d still have half that could serve.
