Democrats Blocked Republican Amendments to End Military Vaccine Mandate
breitbart ^ | 20 Jul 2022 | KRISTINA WONG

Democrats on the House Rules Committee recently blocked consideration of every Republican amendment to a yearly defense policy bill that would have ended the Biden administration’s military vaccine mandate, despite the impact it could have on military readiness and recruiting.

The vaccine mandate could mean discharge for more than 260,000 troops out of a 2.1 million-force who are not fully vaccinated in accordance with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s order, as recently reported by Breitbart News.

Last week, more than a dozen Republicans submitted 16 amendments to the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act but Democrats on the House Rules Committee blocked all but one from being considered by the House, ruling them all “out of order.”

The House Rules Committee did not allow consideration of a Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) amendment to express the sense of Congress that members of the Armed Forces should not be discharged for refusing the vaccine for COVID-19, but allowed a Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) amendment that expressed the sense of Congress that the Army’s research on working dogs detecting diseases including COVID-19 should continue to receive funding.

The House Rules Committee is commonly known as “The Speaker’s Committee,” since it is the mechanism the Speaker uses to maintain control of the House floor, according to the committee’s website. There are nine Democrats on the committee, and only four Republicans.

Somehow I thought that the SCOTUS ruled against the military mandate making the legislation moot

What is it going to take to make the Covid Nazis’ admit that the shot is worthless and dangerous? Continuing mandates is criminal.

I think it was if their objection was for religious reasons. Religion or not, no one should have to take an experimental drug into their bodies against their will.

The 1st sentence of point 1 of 1945 Nuremburg agreement reads: "The voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential.". Reference: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuremberg_Code

They struck down the OSHA mandate, but that didn't affect military or government employees.

So just how much money was flowing between Big Pharma, Congress and Govt Health Agencies resulting in this miracle Vax being developed “over night”?
It would be nice to pull the tax returns and investment portfolios of ALL these people. ANYONE who profited should be HANGED!!!

We are now a year beyond the virus being a thing. This isn’t about the virus.

The armed forces are way below their force and recruitment numbers.

Wow, 10% non-compliance. Amazing, the real soldiers! If I was in the military and Darth Vader pansy face shield mask wearing Lloyd Austin was my commander and senile Biden was President, it would be a wonderful ticket out.

It really is a shame we can’t ban idiot Marxist democrats from holding office. So few of them are capable of the critical thinking needed or the moral compass.
