Afghan Evacuees on U.S. Military Bases Won't Be Forced to Take the COVID Vaccine—Unlike Our Soldiers
PJ Media ^ | AUG 27, 2021 | PAULA BOLYARD

Gen. Glen VanHerck, the commander of the United States Northern Command, said during a press conference on Friday that around 7,000 Afghan refugees have thus far been airlifted to the U.S. The refugees, who will be housed at U.S. military bases around the country, will be offered the COVID-19 vaccine but won’t be forced to take it.

“The vaccines are being offered to them,” the NORTHCOM commander told reporters, noting that they’re being offered when the individuals land at Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C.

“We offer them as well at task force locations,” he said, but noted that “they are not mandatory.”

...

Meanwhile, members of the U.S. military will be forced to take the COVID-19 vaccine beginning next month, whether they want it or not.

...

including the National Guard

...

why are the requirements less stringent for Afghan evacuees who are being housed on our military bases? These are questions we’re not supposed to ask. Not surprisingly, none of the reporters in the room bothered to ask VanHerk about the double standard and why our brave soldiers are being treated more harshly than recently arrived evacuees from a country that’s not exactly known for its world-class healthcare.

...

The evacuees have all been vetted by the State Department and Department of Homeland Security, according to the NORTHCOM commander,

....

Many of the Afghans who were flown here showed up at the Kabul airport without passports or valid identification. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas directed Customs and Border Protection to “parole” certain evacuees who have not yet been approved for entry, including some who have not yet applied to enter the country. What could go wrong?

Update: White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters today that the “parolees” are being forced to take the vaccine.

You can’t make this $hit up.

Who knew the day would come when it is better to NOT be a US citizen.

I think part of the vetting process should be Americans must vouch for their translators.

This proves the Wuhan virus is not a serious threat-the people pushing the protocols and the vaccine enforce the rules selectively and ignore them when it’s not convenient. They act like it’s a hoax. So should we.

Your blind if you don’t think COVID is a scam and being used for nefarious purposes.

I have heard that the evacuees are being tested for Covid. I haven’t heard of what happens if they test positive.

Next time a store, restaurant, movie theater, etc demands to see your covid vaccination card, tell them “I dont have one I just crossed the southern border” and easy peasy you’re good to go

They should be mandated to take the same shots that are being forced on our military.

Meanwhile, frontline nurses who worked all thru the pandemic will now be fired from their job if they don’t take the shot.

We’re all in this together. Riiiight.

Immigrants are "Clean Skins", meaning they are invisible to our security systems that the rest of us live under. That's also why immigrants are given government issued cell phones. No data trails except what the government wants to load and receive.

England was caught using Clean Skins to do covert government operations. Off the grid bagmen, couriers, informants, operatives, and even assassins. All untraceable in respect to the rest of the populace. Easily coerced into complying with demands.

I suspect that a good % of these so called translators can’t even speak English.

Seems like a lot of unanswered questions here & answer that ARE given are very questionable. The only thing we can be pretty sure of is that the Democrats have led us into another impossible mess. There is a reasonable answer to one question, tho. What could possibly go wrong? Oh, just about everything.
Somehow, I don’t think we’d be in this mess right now if America just had a real president;one who was really a CIC.
