Thousands of Unvaccinated Service Members Could Still Be Booted Over Rescinded COVID-19 Policy

Rep. Jim Banks said Biden administration 'wants to purge conservative service members from the military'

Thousands of military service members could still be discharged because they didn't apply for a COVID-19 vaccination exemption — even though the U.S. Department of Defense rescinded its mandate in January.

Members of the House Armed Services Committee blasted the DOD's handling of its mandate as 69,000 out of 2 million active service members never received a vaccine, according to data sent to Congress members last week.

Located in Arlington, Va., just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., the Pentagon has served as the epicenter of the U.S. military, housing the Department of Defense, the Army, the Navy and the Air Force since the 1940s.

Approximately 53,000 sought an exemption or accommodation, leaving about 16,000 who could be axed for noncompliance with the rescinded vaccine policy, according to data supplied by Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness Gilbert Cisneros in response to a letter from Reps. Mike Rogers, R-Ala., and Jim Banks, R-Ind.

In actuality, Real soldiers and Patriots. The rest are pansies that are still masking up, getting every booster and afraid of their own shadows.

They don’t need a religious exemption, the vaccines

1) Don’t keep you from getting COVID
2) Don’t keep you from spreading COVID
3) Cause documented harms
4) We have no idea the long term effects.

For instance there were over 3489 reported embolisms the year after the shot as opposed to 716 the year prior.... 13 deaths from covid before the shot and 113 the year after it came out.

The DOD knows this. Loyd Austin knows this. Our country is being run by psychopaths.

We must stop the shot it is killing people, and the DOD leadership knows it. We are going to have to fire a bunch of folks...

5)If a vaccine worked, only elderly and those with co-morbidities would be candidates for it. Why healthy non-elderly?

Apparently, this administration is like a woman. It’s her prerogative to change her mind.
