More Than 200 Marines Have Been Removed for Refusing to Get Vaccinated

A total of 206 Marines have been removed for refusing to comply with the Pentagon’s mandate that all troops get vaccinated against the Wuhan coronavirus, a Marine Corps spokesperson announced Thursday.

In an emailed statement, Capt. Andrew Wood, who is a Marine Corps spokesperson, said that 95 percent of the more than 182,000 active-duty Marines have at least one dose of the coronavirus vaccine. The vaccination rate for reservists increased from 86 percent partially-vaccinated to 83 percent fully vaccinated.

Two weeks ago, on Dec. 16, a spokesperson for the Marine Corps said that 103 members had been kicked out for refusing to get vaccinated. The announcement, from Maj. Jim Stenger, a Marine Corps spokesperson, said that the service members were separated with a “vaccine refusal” discharge code. Last week, Politico reported that the number had risen to 169.

The deadline for active-duty Marines to be vaccinated was Nov. 28. Reservists were given until Dec. 28 to comply with the mandate. The Marine Corps is still processing over 1,000 administrative and medical exemptions. They have not approved any processed religious exemptions, which exceeds 3,000.

In August, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin mandated that all members of the military get vaccinated. Each branch enforced its own vaccination deadlines.

Two weeks ago, the U.S. Army announced that 98 percent of active-duty soldiers had gotten vaccinated against COVID-19. In January, the announcement noted, the Army will begin separating soldiers who did not get vaccinated who are not waiting for a medical or religious exemption to be processed. At the time of the announcement, the Army had made four permanent medical exemptions and no religious exemptions.

Guess the plan is to kill off the low IQ marines that took the toxic vax then purge the remainder.
They can be recruited into the patriot corp

I have a relative in the navy who is being discharged next month after they refused his religious exemption request. I understand he may have to pay back a $10K signing bonus but his wife said it’s worth every penny to get him out of that communist infested, conservative hating mess, that was the USN. They told him they would give him an honorable discharge. Will see...

Some rich conservative ought to start a private Marine corps, and pay these guys to be the cadre that teaches the tadpoles how to fight Deep State incursions into the Sane States. Because it’s coming. It’s one reason they’re lightening up the COVID restrictions.

Dems say Marines tend to be too harsh and warlike, anyway.
More conciliatory types should replace them, if vaxed.

95% obedient to whomever, for whatever. Go devol sheep.
I keep thinking, our military, when it could win wars, navigate shipping lanes.. were filled with men who had pictures of their wives, children, mothees and families in their cockpits, on ther lockers, next to their hearts.
Someone they would fight for, die for, protect every freedom without regard for their own lives.
What percentage of them are looking at those wonderful images everyday? Pornography was rampant in the 80s, i cannot imagine now. /rant.

That’s a little disappointing.

We need a new army staffed with “trained warriors” to fight off the old army filled with Trannies, queers, and socialists (I know that that is redundant).

When these Marines joined the Corps they agreed to follow all lawful orders. The order to vaccinate is a lawful order. One does not get to choose which lawful orders to follow. The Corps is only purging those who are reneging on their Oath of Office.

_________________________________________________

And how many more will become ill or die six months from now, a year from now, two years from now, five years from now, ten years from now, etc.?

I hope none, but God only knows.

Just following orders didn’t hold a lot of water during the Nuremberg trails.

Sad that there might be less than ten thousand separating from the services over what is right.

Goes to show us how few people are committed to their beliefs.

10,000 troops loyal to a just and noble cause would be a pretty good start.

Yep.

Be a USMC Patriot in his right mind or be poisoned.

One is not allowed to do both.

Such a sick and disgusting DOD hierarchy.

May the Satanic psychopaths “in charge” receive the Righteous Fury of Almighty God for all of the innocent people they have maliciously threatened, poisoned, maimed, and killed.

Here is a hint: Rat Poison is not a “vaccine,” no matter how many times you psychopaths lie about it.

Here’s a hint for you. These vaccines are not rat poison no matter how many times you lie about it.

Those tried at Nuremburg were not following ‘lawful orders’.
The orders to take vaccines are ‘lawful’.

I find it very encouraging that so few are refusing to obey a lawful order.

You truly are a psychopath, as you seek to harm other people with zero remorse for it.
