Army Cuts Off More Than 60K Unvaccinated Guard and Reserve Soldiers from Pay and Benefits
Yahoo ^ | 07/08/22 | Steve Beynon

Posted on 07/08/2022 3:08:53 PM PDT by Enlightened1

Some 40,000 National Guard and 22,000 Reserve soldiers who refused to be vaccinated against COVID-19 are no longer allowed to participate in their military duties, also effectively cutting them off from some of their military benefits, Army officials announced Friday.

"Soldiers who refuse the vaccination order without an approved or pending exemption request are subject to adverse administrative actions, including flags, bars to service, and official reprimands," an Army spokesperson said in a statement.

The move comes in the midst of the annual training season, during which part-time soldiers are often ordered to serve from two weeks to a month with their units for summer training exercises. Those training events are usually critical for soldiers to sharpen their military skills and for unit commanders to ensure their formations are ready to deploy if needed.

If the soldiers continue to refuse the vaccine, the consequences could be even more dire.

"In the future, Soldiers who continue to refuse the vaccination order without an exemption may be subject to additional adverse administrative action, including separation," the Army spokesperson said.

The long-term impact may mean many soldiers would be forced to leave, a devastating outcome especially in the middle of a recruiting crisis as Defense Department officials struggle to fill the ranks.

Soldiers will be allowed to come on duty and earn their pay in order to be vaccinated or to take part in separation procedures.

"We're going to give every soldier every opportunity to get vaccinated and continue their military career," Lt. Gen. Jon Jensen, director of the Army Guard, told Military.com in an emailed statement. "We're not giving up on anybody until the separation paperwork is signed and completed."

The vaccines have been fully approved so only an anti-vaxxer fanatic can imagine they are experimental.

T.B. Yoits wrote: “No. At a minimum the order is unlawful because the Jim Jones Jab doesn’t work. That’s the definition of Fraud, Waste, and Abuse as per DoD regulation. Beyond that, it’s unlawful to order military members to take an experimental treatment.”

The vaccines have saved millions of lives and they are not experimental.

...just fyi: there was no legal basis for Nuremberg I. Everything they did was legal when they did it. Not saying we shouldn’t have hung them, just that it wasn’t strictly legal to do so.

I’m going to forward your oh-so-intelligent post to my dear friend, Judy — WHEN/IF SHE IS REMOVED FROM THE VENTILATOR AND TAKEN OFF SEDATION. She and hubby got the clot shots, clot went to her heart, and lungs, etc., are shutting down.

You’re a ghoul, and so is your god Fauci.

The two are identical and interchangeable.

The two may be chemically identical, but not from a legal perspective. One is FDA approved, the other is EUA, which shields the manufacturer from liability.

"Anti-vaxxer", "fanatic", "imagine". Nice propaganda. People opposed to the Jim Jones Jab are not anti-vaccine, they've gotten all their vaccines. They're opposed to this untested RNA experiment.

The fanatics are the Branch Covidians so desperate to cling to the cult.

As for "imagining" they're experimental, the recipients are the experiment. Don't take my word for it, the president of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division, Stefan Olerich, admitted at the World Health Summit in November 2021 that the COVID mRNA shots are gene therapy.

No. the marketing teams of the pharmaceutical korporations, their paid shills like yourself, their paid-off government conspirators, and the Branch Covidians claim the Jim Jones Jab saved lives but the evidence shows the opposite.

Does Mercola pay you to post your nonsense?

Nonsense? As I said, don't take my word. Just go back to the video and watch the president of Bayer’s Pharmaceuticals Division admit that the COVID mRNA shots are gene therapy.

There is no legal basis for a Nuremberg II.

Keep telling yourself that. The illegal diktats and coverups violated multiple sections of the Nuremberg Code (http://www.cirp.org/library/ethics/nuremberg/):

Permissible Experiments from the Nuremberg Code

-The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.

-the person involved should have legal capacity to give consent

-the person involved should be so situated as to be able to exercise free power of choice, without the intervention of any element of force, fraud, deceit, duress, overreaching, or other ulterior form of constraint or coercion

-the person should have sufficient knowledge and comprehension of the elements of the subject matter involved as to enable him to make an understanding and enlightened decision.

-The duty and responsibility for ascertaining the quality of the consent rests upon each individual who initiates, directs, or engages in the experiment. It is a personal duty and responsibility which may not be delegated to another with impunity.

-The experiment should be so conducted as to avoid all unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injury.

-Proper preparations should be made and adequate facilities provided to protect the experimental subject against even remote possibilities of injury, disability or death.

-The experiment should be conducted only by scientifically qualified persons.

-The highest degree of skill and care should be required through all stages of the experiment of those who conduct or engage in the experiment.

-During the course of the experiment the human subject should be at liberty to bring the experiment to an end if he has reached the physical or mental state where continuation of the experiment seems to him to be impossible.

Keep telling yourself that. The Nuremberg Code has not been incorporated into the US Code by treaty or by act of Congress.

You need new propaganda since the vaccines are not experimental gene therapy.

Two misrepresentation. Here’s the Congressional report that explains why they are legally distinct. They are still chemically identical and interchangeable.

Quotation begin.

Why did FDA refer to Comirnaty and the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine as “legally distinct”?

In the EUA, FDA states that the Comirnaty and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines “are legally distinct with certain differences that do not impact safety or effectiveness.”
87 While the Comirnaty and Pfizer-BioNTech vaccines have the same formulation, they are legally allowed to be marketed
and used pursuant to different legal authorities. Specifically, Comirnaty is licensed pursuant to a BLA issued under the PHS Act (42 U.S.C. §262). The Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is authorized for emergency use pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic (FD&C) Act (21 U.S.C.
§360bbb-3).

Each product must be manufactured, labeled, marketed, distributed, and administered in accordance with the requirements of the legal regime under which it was approved or authorized. These requirements may differ in a number of ways. For example, under the EUA, the PfizerBioNTech vaccine must be accompanied by fact sheets for the vaccine administrator and recipient informing them, among other things, of the product’s emergency authorization, known and
anticipated risks and benefits, and the right to decline the vaccine. Comirnaty need not be accompanied by this information if it is being administered pursuant to the BLA rather than the EUA; instead, the PHS Act and other FDA regulatory labeling requirements apply.

As another example, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine may be manufactured only at facilities identified and agreed upon in Pfizer’s EUA request, must be distributed directly by Pfizer or through authorized distributors to emergency response stakeholders (as defined in the EUA) as directed by the U.S. government, and must be administered by vaccination providers (as defined in the EUA) only to individuals 12 years of age and older in accordance with the uses authorized by the EUA. These limitations do not apply to Comirnaty vaccines manufactured and distributed pursuant to the BLA; instead, the PHS Act and FD&C Act requirements apply.

End Quotation.

https://crsreports.congress.gov/product/pdf/R/R46913
Page 12.

As to liability:

Quotation begins:

Does FDA’s licensure of Comirnaty affect liability protections for COVID-19 vaccines under the PREP Act?

Generally speaking, it does not. Under the PREP Act, “covered countermeasures” include both (1) “qualified pandemic or epidemic products” and (2) biological products authorized for emergency use under an EUA.

Comirnaty is a biological product licensed by FDA to prevent COVID-19 (see “What is the scope of FDA’s biologics license for Comirnaty?”). It meets the definition of qualified pandemic or epidemic product and is thus a covered countermeasure under the PREP Act while the PREP Act
declaration remains in effect. For its part, the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine is authorized under an EUA to prevent COVID-19 (see “What is the scope of the current EUA for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine?”). It, too, meets the definition of covered countermeasure under the PREP Act.

Because Comirnaty and the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine are both covered countermeasures, the liability protections under the PREP Act apply to both products. That is, assuming that all the other elements for immunity under the PREP Act are met, whether the vaccine’s use is licensed by FDA or authorized under an EUA does not affect the PREP Act’s
liability protections.

Quotation Ends.

Your very citation makes my case.

” These requirements may differ in a number of ways. For example, under the EUA, the PfizerBioNTech vaccine must be accompanied by fact sheets for the vaccine administrator and recipient informing them, among other things, of the product’s emergency authorization, known and anticipated risks and benefits, and the right to decline the vaccine. Comirnaty need not be accompanied by this information if it is being administered pursuant to the BLA rather than the EUA “

The reference to liability only mentions Comirnaty, because EUA excludes liability; which is why doctors are technically obligated to show the EUA form to patients so they know with emergency use, there is no liability claim possible.e

Wow. There’s an escape clause one can drive a truck thru.

Then you didn’t read what was posted: “That is, assuming that all the other elements for immunity under the PREP Act are met, whether the vaccine’s use is licensed by FDA or authorized under an EUA does not affect the PREP Act’s
liability protections.”

Even Malone has admitted that the coverage is the same for both.

As Travis McGee pointed out, this is a decimation since 1 in 10, or 60,000 out of 600,000 Guard are affected.

Which, in essence, was the same as your first post. There is no difference in liability coverage between Comirnaty and the Pfizer vaccines.

From Pfizer’s own EAU form...

“You are being offered either COMIRNATY (COVID-19 Vaccine, mRNA) or the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine to prevent Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by SARS-CoV-2.”

Seems like a problem as their vaxx does *not* prevent Covid.

Ukraine is sending letters to place like Italy and wanting their Uke men of fighting age who fled when the Russians crossed the border to be forced back to Ukraine to fight.
Nobody wants to fight for the Liberal homo world army.
