“I will seek the president’s approval to make the vaccines mandatory no later than mid-September, or immediately upon” approval by the Food and Drug Administration, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin declares in a memo to troops obtained by the Associated Press. “I will not hesitate to act sooner or recommend a different course to the President if l feel the need to do so.”
The requirement could be moved up to an even earlier date if ‘infections continue to rise,” and restrictions such as “wearing masks, social distancing and travel limits” will apply to unvaccinated service members in the interim. The Associated Press reports that “Military officials have said that once the vaccine is mandated, a refusal could constitute failure to obey an order, and may be punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice.”
National File previously reported on Austin’s push to make all members of the U.S. military become vaccinated:
Secretary of Defense for the Biden Administration Lloyd Austin is set to announce mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations for all active duty troops at the direction of Joe Biden, according to a report from CNN. “Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin is expected to seek authorization to make Covid-19 vaccines mandatory for all active duty troops as soon as this week, following President Joe Biden’s directive that the military examine how and when it could make that happen,” CNN reported.
“If the secretary makes that final recommendation, he could seek a presidential waiver to allow the vaccine to be administered to troops before full approval by the Food and Drug Administration. A Pentagon decision and recommendation on how to proceed could come this week, several officials say.”
Service members who have not yet taken the vaccine have been subjected to forced testing and quarantine, as well as compulsory mask wearing.
What happens to the military if even 10% refuse? Will they be able to function?
My understanding is that it is a lot higher 10%.
This totally violates the Nuremberg code.
The military should go for religious exemption.
They should be allowed to be honorably discharged if they refuse the vaccine. Why make essentially criminals out of soldiers for refusing to take it back.
I’m hearing around 50%.
Nothing is by chance, this is all choreographed.
NCSWIC.
If he does it after the FDA certifies the vaccine then how can the military people refuse to take it?
We need Divine Intervention! Either God is going to bring a great revival and end this coruption or we are smack dab up against the Tribulation with a capital T. Keep praying everyone!
That's how the Left stopped Trump over anything they didn't like.
What you all want to bet it won’t be a bad conduct discharge, but a Dishonorable.
I’ve no doubt they will all be vacated if/when president Trump gets back in.
Still better than losing your life.
So the military can change the terms of your enlistment mid-stream and put you in jail for not complying?
Probably view it as a useful tool to help weed out anyone who doesn’t support their political agenda.
Nothing scary about that! /s
the latest “hill to die on” has arrived for the US Military.
my goodness, i hope its 60% or higher.
JAG corps is going to be busy.
Americans mask:
why is the pedophile pervert permitted
to “VAX”-rape the entire military with
the CCP-Bioweapon?
Fed.gov seems to be doing all that it can to drive patriots from the military.
Good luck in the next war.
They enjoy ruining lives and careers of anyone that isn’t with them.
That’s how the Left stopped Trump...
