In the midst of a massive military recruiting crisis and Republicans taking the House, the misguided vaccine mandate may be on its way out.
Final defense legislation set to be unveiled next week could undo the Pentagon’s policy of kicking out troops for not taking the Covid vaccine, the Democratic chair of the House Armed Services Committee said Saturday.
Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said a rollback of the policy is on the table for a compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act, but hasn’t been decided yet.

“I was a very strong supporter of the vaccine mandate when we did it, a very strong supporter of the Covid restrictions put in place by DoD and others,” he added. “But at this point in time, does it make sense to have that policy from August 2021? That is a discussion that I am open to and that we’re having.”
Biden’s Secretary of Defense insists that vaccine segregation must remain, yesterday, today and tomorrow.
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said he wants to keep the military’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate in place to protect the health of the troops, as Republican governors and lawmakers press to rescind it.
“We lost a million people to this virus,” Austin told reporters traveling with him Saturday. “A million people died in the United States of America. We lost hundreds in DOD. So this mandate has kept people healthy.”
“I’m the guy” who ordered the military to require the vaccine, Austin added. “I support continuation of vaccinating the troops.”
One million people and hundreds in DOD. The stupidity of this argument speaks for itself.
The latest DOD totals showed 690 deaths, of those only 96 were military. Last time I checked was in July and there were 95 military deaths.

They CDC admits the experimental “vaccines” do not prevent transmission or the illness and cause page-upon-page of side-effects.
At this point forcing them on anyone is Nuremberg Code territory.
What a UPOS this assclown is. No, I’m series!

Time for someone to post the pic with the full face-shield
And mask.
because most of them are white ?
The man is just stupid and a thug. He has been an affirmative action negro since he graduated from high school. He and his brother started out being twofers, they were black and standout football players from a hs that regularly produces standout players in Georgia, Quitman HS in Brooks County. He was academically ‘carried’ in high school and at West Point. His intelligence level tops out at being a good Ranger E-7 or at best E-8. He is a bully with brute animal courage and muscle and that is about the best that can be said for him.
They should ban Lloyd Austin because he is a worthless POS.
He knows it is likely a soldier who refuses the poke is probably a Republican.
Yeah, that’s just about the most pathetic pic - ever
Karma needs to visit that obese pinhead
Suddenly and bafflingly
I stand corrected - the second most pathetic
I think the above takes the cake - or the luggage, at least
Austin is a an Affirmative Action appointment. Nothing more.
First there was stolen valor. Now there is stolen clothes.
🥴😬🤢🤮
How the mighty have fallen...
Biden’s freak show of unqualified sycophants.
80% of dead were obese
78% were deficient in vitamin D
Most had other morbidities
