A bill to rescind the Covid-19 vaccine mandate for members of the U.S. military and provide nearly $858 billion for national defense passed the House on Thursday as lawmakers scratch off one of the final items on their yearly to-do list.
The bill provides for about $45 billion more for defense programs than President Joe Biden requested, the second consecutive year Congress significantly exceeded his request, as lawmakers seek to boost the nation’s military competitiveness with China and Russia.
The House passed the bill by a vote of 350-80. It now goes to the Senate, where it is expected to pass easily, then to the president to be signed into law.
To win bipartisan support for the bill, Democrats agreed to Republican demands to scrap the requirement for service members to get a Covid-19 vaccination. The bill directs Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin to rescind his August 2021 memorandum imposing the mandate. Only days earlier he voiced support for keeping the mandate in effect.

The “vaccine” has been about subjugation and segregation and not about science.
And what has Deep State ever done to make those gutless wonders think Deep State will keep its word on rescinding the mandate?
And if it doesn’t, what will the cowards who voted for the bill do then?
Assuming the bill does pass and the diktat, er, mandate is removed, what about all those members who were fired, disciplined, resigned, or lost their pensions?
Since the Dhimmis care as much about members of the US military as True-dolt cares about Canaduh’s, the response will be, “Too bad, so sad!”
LETS GO BRANDON!
TUCK FRUDEAU!
“If the Senate passes this bill, I wonder whether Austin will recind the mandate.”
If Biden signs it, I think Austin will have to. As part of the cabinet he is under the executive branch, and since Biden is head of the executive branch his signing the bill could be interpreted as an order.
China is celebrating.
And those that were “forced” out?
With Brandon in charge, they will most likely still be out.
The “vaccine” has been about subjugation and segregation “
Precisely. If someone refuses the poke it’s very likely they are a Conservative and we can’t have any of those in the military.
Loyd Austin will be very upset.
No worries, he has a plastic face shield to wear over his double masking - the guy reeks of macho. /s
I wonder if it will amend the type of discharge they got if they refused?
‘Loyd Austin will be very upset.’
Raytheon HeIdiot is already upset given he was/is adamantly opposed to the mandate being lifted.
China is celebrating.
Ok, now, what about the mandates for federal employees?
What about jobs back for those previously kicked out for not complying. And back pay.
Is that media bailout crap still in there?
Don’t tell me you’re one of those who doesn’t believe China manufactures weaponized viruses.
