EXCLUSIVE: West Point Cadets Who Chose to Leave West Point Rather Than Take COVID Vaccine Were Coerced, Abused and Discriminated Against

In spring of 2021, we were told that our decision to volunteer to get the “optional” COVID-19 vaccine would not negatively affect our time as a cadet at West Point. That turned out to be a false promise.

Before being ordered to sign a document saying we were disobeying orders (orders we considered unlawful) in the summer and fall of 2021, we were:

• Forced to share a bathroom and living quarters with the males because we were in the ostracized unvaccinated platoon during summer training.
• Forced to attend a “re-education brief” led only by vaccinated personnel (who denied unvaccinated personnel the opportunity to sit on the panel).
• Subjected to COVID testing twice a week at 6 am, regardless of not having COVID symptoms. The vaccinated can also contract and pass COVID but were not tested.
• Not allowed to leave campus with our friends because our radius was restricted compared to the vaccinated.
• Denied a pass for being unvaccinated.
• (Nickaylah) Kicked off the women’s rowing team, because it was too high of a risk to participate in physical activities outside, but sitting in class right next to other cadets and eating at mandatory lunches side-by-side was not a problem.
• Scoffed at by teachers for making such an unscientific and selfish choice.
• Visibly cast as the “other” when the vaccinated were allowed to go without masks but the unvaccinated were forced to publicly identify our medical status by wearing masks.
• Ostracized and mocked, endured rude comments, pointing, and laughing for being in the “dirty” platoon (a platoon of only unvaccinated/masked cadets) during training. Officers told trainees to stay away from us.
• Had our HIPAA rights violated when my vaccination status was released to the entire freshman class (in which an officer stated that “HIPAA isn’t the be all, end all”).
• Subjected to this treatment knowing that some cadets had an adverse reaction, including heart problems, to the vaccine.
• Coerced and punished by a medical officer and others to make life miserable so we would violate our conscience and get vaccinated.

No Lawyers for Mandate Paperwork, Sept. 27, 2021

When the USMA vaccine mandate order paperwork came down on Sept. 27, 2021, the unvaccinated cadets were escorted to an auditorium where:

• We were not allowed to leave the room without signing a document, acknowledging that we were disobeying direct orders. (Orders that we consider to be unlawful).
• We had a choice to either be vaccinated, separate, or apply for a religious/medical exemption.
• We were denied any legal counsel at this meeting. There were no JAGs or legal advisors available for us to talk to before being forced into signing this document.
• When Hannah raised the point that the FDA-approved vaccine (Pfizer’s Comirnaty) with the proper lot numbers had yet to be distributed in the United States, that the only available vaccines were EUA, and vaccination must be voluntary, she was told that small legal distinction didn’t matter. This issue is important because it makes the mandate order unlawful.

Since then, all medical exemptions pleading the case of natural immunity and antibodies have already been denied by West Point, contrary to science, and the religious exemptions are still being processed.

“I hope my story can help others stand up in the face of such authoritarianism, even when it means giving up a career I had dreamed of and worked for.” Willow Brown

Hannah MacDonald

“Although I filed a religious exemption, I ultimately decided to separate from West Point. Even if my exemption went through, I could no longer see myself staying in an institution that claims to fight for freedom while using their people as puppets to convince the public to give up their freedoms for a political show. Through all of this, I have learned that this is about choosing the harder right over the easier wrong and refusing to settle for a half truth when the whole truth can be won.” Hannah MacDonald

Nickaylah Sampson

“Everything I worked so hard to attain ever since high school was gone. The hours I put into studying, building my physical and mental endurance would no longer be towards my goal. Now, after leaving everything I knew, I have to start over. The increasing stress of finding a new school, funding and a career path have hit me like a truck. A choice no longer becomes a choice when someone is backed into a corner. I feel cheated out of my education, my goals and my aspirations. I thank God that I am still young and had nothing to pay back to the Army. I only pray that no one else has to go through what I went through, and that others do not have to endure the unethical, immoral implications and effects of the COVID-19 vaccine.” Nickaylah Sampson

While this has been an incredibly ugly situation that has been handled terribly, we tell our story not to stain the name of West Point, but to raise awareness for the persecution our military is under because of our higher leadership.

We do not blame West Point and respect the sacrifices our soldiers have made to protect and defend this country but blame the Biden Administration for ignoring the pleas of thousands of soldiers, Dr. Fauci for shamelessly lying time and again to the public, General Lloyd Austin for his lack of leadership and integrity and the leaders who have the power to make change and stay silent.

We are but one voice, but will use the voice God has given us to fight for justice. Our military has sworn to support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, and in order to uphold this promise, we had to leave the organization that was keeping us from doing so.

Final Comments

“As this tyranny continued through the spring of 2021, I began to self-reflect. Did I want to give up the next 10 years of my life to an organization that so openly wanted to demolish my personal will? Could I in good faith serve people who blindly believed in identity politics and fake science? I was so uncomfortable with my situation and the politics unnecessarily injected that I decided to leave West Point.” Willow Brown, left spring 2021

I have mixed feelings on this. Reading these stories, the ostracization and retaliation is really disturbing. That said, when I was in the service, they shot me up with so much $hit to make me worldwide deployable and it was never questioned. You were just told to report and get your shot.

[Newbomb Turk]

My daughter told her unit she is out last week. She refuses the Vax. Out at 18 years and millions of dollars of training paid for by the taxpayer.

Im proud of her.

I fought for freedom for 43 years, 20 active and the rest National Guard.

This is BS. This is not FREEDOM !

[SoConPubbie]

That said, when I was in the service, they shot me up with so much $hit to make me worldwide deployable and it was never questioned. You were just told to report and get your shot.

The difference being the character of those leading you vs. the character of those in charge now and a Clot-Shot that is experimental in nature and killing people right and left.

Not too many real important similarities once you factor those two things in.

[Fledermaus]

Every active military personnel ar Waest Point should be court martialed.

[Hodar]

If a cadet made a promise, and then immediately broke that promise, they would be expelled for breaking their word, and violating the Honor Code.

But Honor and Leadership at the academy apparently have nothing in common.

This proves that point.

[grumpygresh]

The Federal government is of the Devil. Making false promises to people that are committing their lives to its defense is proof.

[atc23]

I hereby revoke, as of this day, October 31, 2021 my personal citizen pledge to support the United States Armed Forces. They can GFT

[ConjunctionJunction]

All of the shots I had to take when I was in had many years of safety testing. They also didn’t have more adverse reactions than the previous 30 years of all other shots combined.

[SE Mom]

Absolutely right- you all took a bunch of shots. Thwy weren’t brand new drugs that hadn’t been tested for long term effects. They weren’t showing early side-effects of clotting, changing women’s menstrual cycles and various cardiac issues.

It’s not the same. AND it wasn’t the entire military taking the shot within a few months of each other. It was staggered. IF there are effects we are not yet aware of- it’s going to hit the military hard.

[Still Thinking]

Yes, but they were real vaccines that gave real protection from contracting or communicating real diseases, not this bullshit.

[Still Thinking]

It’s probably an intentional purge of anyone who thinks for themself and/or values freedom and individual autonomy for themselves and others. Leaving only robot soldiers who will accept orders to fire on their countrymen.

[Sequoyah101]

Sorry but better to have sense to get out now. Three years and 3 months more of this crap is too much and it will only get worse.

I would never encourage a child of mine to join the military under these terms.

UCMJ is not a code of justice but enforcement. In 2001 a Marine faced the death penalty for not taking the experimental anthrax vaccine cooked up by clintoon. That threat of death penalty for not taking a stupid shot was under shrub. Just another putz.

Government or military have lost my vote of confidence.

[Cboldt]

The founders arranged a government that did not have a standing army. This was deliberate, for a sound reason. Government ineviatbly turn armies against the public, or the armies get full of themselves and make that move on their own.

[Sequoyah101]

You should not have to be told that none of those vaccines were experimental or used mRNA technology never ever used successfully on humans. While those vaccines you took may result in adverse reactions for some they were not wide spread nor did they include death or disability or long term health affects.

Different situation now.

AND our next generation of military leaders must endure morale-busting critical race theory.

All because Scotus wouldn’t look at the stolen 2020 election.

[Don W]

Every one of the shots you got pincushioned with had a track record going back 20, 30, 40 + years.

This jab is just over a year old. BIG difference.

[Bubba_Leroy]

We may be discarding thousands of people who are willing and able to serve, but we have a “woman” admiral with balls! All that matters is that our military is sufficiently woke, right?

Now how do you say that in Chinese? Learning to speak Chinese will be a useful skill going forward.

From the article: “When Hannah raised the point that the FDA-approved vaccine (Pfizer’s Comirnaty) with the proper lot numbers had yet to be distributed in the United States, that the only available vaccines were EUA, and vaccination must be voluntary, she was told that small legal distinction didn’t matter. This issue is important because it makes the mandate order unlawful.”

This is BS!. The pfizer vaccine and Comirnaty are identical and interchangeable. Until someone can explain why two identical and interchangeable items are not the same thing, the mandated order is lawful.

[The MAGA-Deplorian]

I think Hannah has a serious case of not only discrimination, but refusal to protect her rights by providing legal counsel. Sue the hell out f them.the abuse and paperwork signed under duress.
