Biden’s COVID Nightmare – One-Third of US Military Are Still Not Fully Vaccinated
GP ^ | 08/28/21 | Joe Hoft

One-third of the US military are still not fully vaccinated with the COVID vaccine.  

The Daily Mail reported this morning on the nightmare in the US military.

Only 68 per cent of the US is military is fully vaccinated against the coronavirus with less then five weeks to go before the mandate deadline passes.

About 468,000 – or 32 percent – of the military’s 1.46 million total employees weren’t fully inoculated Wednesday ahead of the November 28 target date for active-duty Navy and Marines.

About 82 percent of the total force has received at least one jab, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said, meaning about 263,200 members have yet to receive a single dose of an FDA-approved vacc2ine,

The figures are more promising among the active-duty force, where 97 per cent have received at least one shot and 87 per cent are fully vaccinated.

Active Army troops must be fully inoculated by December 15, while Reserve and National Guard employees have until June 30, 2022 to get the jab, the US Army said.

Kirby told reporters Wednesday that there’s been little resistance to the vaccine.

‘People understand that this is an important program,’ he said. ‘And they’re participating in it.’

In addition, the Daily Mail says this:

There have been 383,560 coronavirus cases and 578 deaths in the military community since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, according to the Department of Defense.

[These numbers actually look high for deaths and likely include a number of soldiers with numerous other comorbidities.]

In April, Democrats begged Biden to make the vaccine mandatory in the military.

Those members of the military are probably some of the healthiest people in the country. Plus they are young.

I do not understand this obsession with the vaccine on the part of the left.

The decrepit old fool is going to kick them out. Then, he’ll have faux fauci change “fully vaccinated” to “3 jabs, not 2”. At that time he’ll kick more out of the military.

The left doesn’t want us to have a military. They want our enemies to walk right in and take over, as he is letting them do right now.

Putin is laughing. Xi is happy and will reward the decrepit old fool.

There must be something in the vaccine that none of us knows. An ingredient for a sole purpose?

Most military members by far join for one or two tours. Who would risk death or a life of debilitation injury for the Jim Jones Jab which the same government ordering it admits won't protect the recipient from COVID and won't protect them from spreading it?

It's also the same government that's actively covering up the deaths and adverse reactions due to the Jim Jones Jab.

The Daily Mail is confused. The 1.46M is the Active Duty components ONLY. The Total Force, including reserve and National Guard components is over 2 million. Active duty forces are at 87% fully vaxxed and 97% with at least 1 shot. The Reserves and National Guard are far less invested in their service, and walking away is easy for many of them. The largest reserve branch by far is the Army, with over 500,000 soldiers, and their deadline isn’t until June 30, 2022. It should be no surprise this group is in no hurry to get vaccinated.

That’s HIS GOAL!

If the demonrats were actually trying to destroy America, and what we stand for, would they be doing anything differently?

Only 71 of those deaths were among uniformed personnel. The rest were civilians. Compared to the approx 1.6% case fatality rate in the general population, the military is almost zero.

Apparently you have not read 1984.

The DimWITS are in orgasmic ecstasy in anticipation of the acceptance of vaxxine passports. Once vax passports are accepted, then they can easily implement the CCP style social credit system.

If you don't support Joe, then expect your social credit score will plunge and you will have to do many things to get your "privileges" back.

Based on your social credit scores, they will tell you where to:

Work

Where you can travel

Where you can shop

How much money you can use from your bank accounts. Screw up enough, and they will take money directly out of your accounts until you are in debtor's prison.

It ALL starts with vax passports. It ends in 1984 style he$$.

None of this will happen unless the majority are vaxxed.
