You are overlooking (with the help of the enemedia) that this is a “vaccine” that only has emergency authorization. I would agree with your points except for that - and it is a HUGE difference. If the standard testing had been performed (years of it) and you said all that, I’d agree.
“If the standard testing had been performed (years of it) and you said all that, I’d agree.”
My point in my entry was that in the military they don’t do things like the outside world. You wish to bring to the issue a lot of things that are pertinent to the outside world and I am trying to show you the outside world, in this case, is on a different page. The military page is nothing but practiced and established policies in the form of directives that the military member agrees to when he/she signs the contract.
In the outside world, if you refuse the vaccines, you did not commit yourself to taking orders that you accomplish something based upon the decision of others. You can refuse and it is your business. In the military the only orders that can be refused are those that threaten personnel or priority one property. And if it is direct refusal of an act that has been determined safe you probably will be disciplined. In this case, because of the lack of world wide capacity, separated. So if you refuse the shot which has been given as an order and determined by the commander in chief, or his underlings and he agrees, to be safe or as a proper tool to keep troops healthy and working, you made the decision inconsistent with the command. The rest was in my first post.
Oh, I generally use sites so the civilian can have something to use to understand what I’m trying to post. And I try to use words that can be understood by people who have never been in or around the military. I was attached to the military in one form or another for around 35 years. I’ve been everything from a slick sleeve troop to a top tier NCO, to a GM class member of the DOD. I have seen situations like this happen a number of times and know through experience in most cases how the military will react. However, sometimes they fool me. But with the years, not often. That’s one of the good parts of the military that through regulations and directives, their is the discipline needed for good order to complete the mission with as little harm as we can.
Plus, if a person is willing to be scared out of the service he/she selected for a treatment that may be causing problems, how are they going to react in a firefight for their and my protection? Remember, it was their choice to get there. Can they be trusted? Maybe.
