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.'

and in their original definition it stated that the vaccine was made from the virus it’s supposed to protect a person from, if I’m not mistaken.

Just look at Israel and what’s happening in one of the most vaccinated places on the planet.

Same thing in Singapore I believe.

And there’s a body count for the vaccinated as well.

And then numbers you rely on to try to make your ridiculous points may not be what you think they are.

Anywho….

How do you know that?

Because folks that have received the shot aren’t dead? Utter nonsense. Maybe they haven’t been exposed to it.

You seem to be the kind of person that thinks this virus is everywhere and it’s completely unavoidable. I had it. I didn’t die.

What do you tell your vaccinated buddies that get it again? Get vaccinated again?

They convinced you that getting the shot would prevent you from getting the virus

Then they had to change that to….you can still get it and still give it to somos else.

Then they changed that to if you do get it again the symptoms will/might be less severe.

Then they changed that to….you probably won’t die.

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

It's not even semantics. It's a stupid comment being repeated by people who knew next to nothing about RNA, DNA and vaccines before Covid and who are no better informed now.

By their definition Covid itself qualifies as "experimental gene therapy" seeing that it's a positive-sense single strand RNA virus that acts like mRNA. Apparently the natural version of "experimental gene therapy" doesn't scare them since they are willing to try it instead of the vaccine version.

No. It just means that you don’t even have a rough idea of what you don’t know.

I’ve been dealing with this as a front liner since it started. I have a vacced 40 year old who did ironman that got it and was laid down for a week. I also had a fat unvaccinated 50 year old smoker who was down for the same time. No therapeutics for either. Both back to work. Neither did ziverdo or horsepaste. The science juice is a scam at best.

Horse manure.

You can inject horse manure into your veins and call it a vaccine, but that doesn’t make it a vaccine.

Yep, but it blows up the contention that the military needs it for readiness.

And the vast majority of the military is the farthest thing from a high risk group. Makes a mandate for them moot at best.

My point is that the vaccine is not necessary for anyone not “at risk.”

The science says so.

I have plentysome level of understanding. I fought off Covid more than a year ago, so my level of immunity is 13-14x that of you vaxholes.

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

Exactly. After a year and a half, if that, we certainly have plenty of data to fudge the three-year or seven-year or other longer term studies. Who cares about quality, this is all about quantity!

By their new definition of vaccine, anyone getting sick on purpose with anything is now "vaccinated" against it. If I take extra Vitamin C to prevent a cough, the new definition means I am vaccinated against "cough"...

“By their new definition of vaccine, anyone getting sick on purpose with anything is now “vaccinated” against it.”

That’s basically the idea behind the old practice of “chickenpox parties”. People exposed their kids to chickenpox with the idea that once they got over it they would have immunity.

It’s just not a particularly smart idea if the virus in question is dangerous. Vaccines are intended to give you the same result, developing antibodies, without exposing you to the risks of the wild virus.

Yea, but you wouldn't tell your buddies you got the chickenpox vaccine at the chickenpox party now, would you? Just sounds straight stupid, yes?
