The overall rate of vaccination for Covid-19 among the U.S. military is far below what's claimed by CDC for the general public. The vaccines are not mandatory for the military since they are only approved for "emergency use."
According to the figures reported at military.com (counting Guardsmen and Reservists):
Nationally, CDC says that 40% (132.8) of the U.S. population of 332 million is "fully vaccinated" against Covid-19. Nearly 50% (165.7 million) have received at least one shot but may not be fully vaccinated.
Pentagon officials have said they will not require service members to get the vaccine as long as it is being administered under an emergency use authorization. When the vaccines were first rolled out by Pfizer and Moderna, the process for receiving full approval from the FDA was predicted to take up to two years.Military.com
Although CDC says Covid-19 vaccines are very safe, they are still considered experimental in nature and only approved for emergency use. Their long term impact in terms of immunity and side effects is unknown. All of the Covid-19 vaccines used in the U.S., as well as Astra Zeneca (which is not being used in the U.S.), are linked to possible heart issues.

How many had Covid?
I was told since the Shot is Experimental the military CANNOT require it.
Very interesting. This is just more things that makes me question the official number of people actually vaccinated.
The petition states a COVID vaccine should be fully approved only when substantial evidence demonstrates the benefits of a specific product outweigh the harms for the indicated, recipient population. The petitioners “respectfully” requested the FDA act on the petition by June 11. They plan to seek judicial relief if the petition is denied.

No vaccine, no deployment ... so why would someone want to get an experimental vaccine ?
Good, very glad to see this, thanks for posting. Funny how we now have to sue to get the fda/cdc ect to do what we always did in the past. Prove a real need and go through appropriate testing before distribution.
Phooey.
Good for them - they are smart
If Hillary were POTUS, the agreement to take the covid shot would have become compelled as mandatory in the same way that every other experimental or stupidly administered outdated "vaccine" would have been administered like Anthrax, Smallpox, all those experimental flu shots, etc...
Of course, if Hillary were POTUS, it would have been the CCP's experimental vaccine that the military would have been compelled to take. Let that sink in for a moment.
So what? How many have died? 3?
Methinks the idea of a second shot is not that popular now that people are starting to realize they were scammed and abused.
A lot!
EXCELLENT! STAND STRONG, SOLDIERS!
Bet the Rangers are leading the way, eh, Sua Sponte?
Good news story of the day.
Amen, don’t take the poison “vaccines”!
Amen!
Also, I love your tagline.
