Hundreds Of Thousands Of U.S. Troops Remain Unvaccinated With Deadline To Have Shots Now Less Than Eight Weeks Away
Daily Mail ^ | 10/11/21 | Melissa Koenig

Hundreds of thousands of United States servicemembers remain unvaccinated or are only partially vaccinated against the coronavirus, as the deadline to have the shot draws closer. 

The vaccination rates vary between military branches, according to data obtained by the Washington Post, with 98 percent of the active duty Navy fully vaccinated.

There are almost 340,000 such personnel, with the two per cent who haven't been jabbed representing close to 7,000 people.  

Meanwhile, just 72 percent of the 181,000 active Marine Corps personnel have been vaccinated - meaning close to 51,000 have yet to have the jab. 

Both branches have to be fully vaccinated by November 28, under the Defense Department's August mandate.

Figures show that 81 percent of Army members are fully vaccinated. That branch of the military has 485,000 members, with the 19 per cent who remain unvaccinated representing well over 95,000 personnel.

And more than 60,000 people in the Air Force have just three weeks to meet their deadline to be fully vaccinated.

The rate, though, is worse for members of the Army National Guard and Army Reserves - which have until June to meet the vaccination requirement. 

Military officials said the rates have varied due to the staggering deadlines, and have expressed hope that the vaccination rates will increase as the deadlines near.

Since the pandemic began, about a quarter million service members have been infected with the virus, and more than 2,000 were killed, with a large outbreak last year aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt that showed how quickly the virus could spread in close quarters.

If Biden court martials hundreds of thousands of US military personnel and sends them to Fort Leavenworth, would that be the signal to China and Russia to invade their neighbors?

Actually, it is a vaccine and fully satisfies the definition of a vaccine: “Vaccine: A preparation that is used to stimulate the body’s immune response against diseases. Vaccines are usually administered through needle injections, but some can be administered by mouth or sprayed into the nose.”

Hmm pretty sure this has been explained to you multiple times before by multiple people. It only fits that definition because that definition has only been around for a year - it was specifically written to include the mRNA shots within the definition.

One Month After Biden Announced Federal Vaccine Mandate, It Still Has Not Been Formally Issued
Trending Politics ^ | October 10, 202 | Kyle Becker

Posted on 10/10/2021, 3:38:07 PM by Norski

One month after the Biden administration announced a draconian federal vaccine mandate that impacted an estimated 100 million Americans and led to mass firings of public servants, teachers, and medical workers, the federal regulation still has not been formally issued.

The Federalist reported . . in a post on Thursday that noted, “Joe Biden’s Vaccine Mandate Doesn’t Exist. It’s Just A Press Release”:

Biden’s so-called vaccine mandate doesn’t exist — at least, not yet. So far, all we have is his press conference. No such rule even claiming to be legally binding has been issued yet.

That’s why nearly two dozen Republican attorneys general who have publicly voiced their opposition to the clearly unconstitutional and illegal mandate haven’t yet filed suit against it, the Office of the Indiana Attorney General confirmed for me. There is no mandate to haul into court. And that may be part of the plan.

According to several sources, so far it appears no such mandate has been sent to the White House’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs yet for approval. The White House, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Department of Labor haven’t released any official guidance for the alleged mandate. There is no executive order. There’s nothing but press statements.

Despite what you may have been . . . led to believe by the media, . . . press statements have exactly zero legal authority.

“There is nothing there yet that gives employers any mandate,” Stephanie McFarland, spokeswoman for the Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration, told The Federalist’s Joy Pullman on Oct. 6. “The president made an announcement on this asking OSHA to do it, but we’ve not yet seen anything come from it yet,”. When the state agency gets any further information, she said, they’ll review it.”
