Three members of the first CIA teams to enter Afghanistan after 9/11 say they have been warned of disciplinary proceedings for their refusal to get COVID-19 vaccinations

Three members of the first CIA teams sent to Afghanistan to hunt down Osama bin Laden and topple the Taliban after 9/11 have been told they face disciplinary action for refusing to be vaccinated against COVID-19, DailyMail.com has learned.

Because of the clandestine role they cannot speak publicly but are understood to be furious that their careers are on the line because of the Biden's administration's vaccine mandates.

It is part of wider unease about the mandate among paramilitary officers who are often encouraged to break rules to accomplish their missions, according to Toby Harnden.

His new book, 'First Casualty: The Untold Story of the CIA Mission to Avenge 9/11' details the story of the first teams sent to Afghanistan after the Al Qaeda attacks.

'I've heard a number of CIA officers express concern about the vaccine mandates,' he said in response to an enquiry by DailyMail.com.

'Some of these officers find it outrageous that some of those who put their lives on the line are now having to witness a catastrophic failure in Afghanistan and at the same time the prospect of their careers being ended because they believe they should have the option not to take a COVID vaccine.'

In the intelligence community, contractors - who will simply lose work if they fail to comply - have been the most vocal in online forums, while the vast majority of CIA staffers are already vaccinated.

A former CIA intelligence officer said: 'I have heard anecdotally that some contractors and paramilitaries are resisting taking the vaccine.

In July, CIA director William Burns told NPR: 'Navigating through the COVID pandemic — and we're still navigating through it, although, at CIA, we have fully vaccinated more than 95% of our officers, both at headquarters and overseas.'

“paramilitary officers”

Translated, that means contractors sucking up to our tax money and not wanting to vaxx.

Too bad, you don’t get to endanger operational effectiveness because you are exposed to Covid.

Yet, they all submit to hepatitus and anthrax vaccines that will certainly kick your butt.

I don’t see operational effectiveness being affected by COVID, with or without the vaccine.

they are doing jobs no-one else wants to do, and perhaps they have personal reasons.

the whole microchip BS thing is just a way to distract from the truth.

once you have been fully vaxed, you will shed spikes with the batch numbers encoded..

Information like that is always valuable and possibly even useful

There are no long or medium term studies on adverse effects of COVID Vaccines. This is especially concerning given that short term studies are not looking very good...

You better have another plan besides getting vaxxed then. Even the CDC has switched the narrative away from "you won't get sick" to "you won't die."

The injection you are referring to is most emphatically NOT A VACCINE! It is an experimental gene therapy.

The CDC just last week changed its website’s definition of a vaccine to hide this fact.

A vaccine is supposed to endow its recipient with an IMMUNITY to the pathogens it targets. The covid shot does no such thing, its sole purpose (allegedly) is to minimize the symptoms in those that catch the illness.

9/11? That means they all have 20+ years of service. Time to get out. Why come to us?

1.5M active duty and only six (yes six) have died to date during the so called “pandemic”. Yeah, this is really about impacts on operational effectiveness.

What I really question is the need to push a shot on people where the vast majority have greater than a 99% survival rate. That begs the question about what is so unique about the shot and why it so necessary to shoot everybody up?

Better check the body count on the unvaccinated.

Lol

Know several former spec ops/intelligence guys who are currently active and about to be a big missing gear in the machine as they can work anywhere

Kinda hoping their next job is an easy low pay numbers game scalping those who support the vaccine mandates

“NOT A VACCINE! It is an experimental gene therapy.”

Whatever, is that where you make your stand??? Semantics?

After hundreds of millions of doses, I think we’re past the “experimental” phase.

You don’t see operational effectiveness being affected by wearing a breathing mask and toting an oxygen bottle around?

Someone who is not an Anti-Vaxer was trying to explain that you. Unfortunately you failed to understand.

Is it clear now ?

And why would that happen?

Despite media hype all the healthy and in good physical condition people I know breezes through Covid like a bad cold at worst

The obese, heavy drinkers, and sedentary had problems

Are we really at a point where we suddenly are expected to sacrifice for other people’s poor life choices or genetic misfortunes? To hell with that
