Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin is expected Friday to announce a mandatory vaccine policy for all active-duty forces in the U.S. military. The directive for all 1.3 million service members to get shots in their arms comes one day after President Biden urged all federal employees to get vaccinated. Officials tell Fox News Austin will make his recommendation to the White House tomorrow, and the official announcement is expected Friday. The decision comes as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has reported a more than 64 percent spike in coronavirus cases nationwide over the last seven days. |

Isn't this normal for the military? Don't they have to take any and all shots and shit?

So does refusal trigger an immediate Honorable Discharge like females get when pregnant?
Basically a "Get Out of Jail Free" card |

I was in during the 80s, but I don't ever remember them asking me if I wanted the shot. It was just line up and get it.
When I got to replacement for the 82nd they gave me one that kept me in bed running a high fever all weekend long. |

Anthrax was not mandatory until 2006 I believe , I was finally forced to take it in Iraq.

Considering only 1 out of 123 people in my unit volunteered to get it, this is going to be interesting. There may be more by now since its been a few months but no more than 20% tops.

You think those anthrax and sarin shots were FDA approved, not a chance. https://basedunderground.com/2021/07/31/pilots-may-hold-key-to-mobilizing-against-military-covid-vaccine-mandate/ During this legal battle, which lasted years, service members who declined the anthrax vaccine were reduced in rank and pay, and disciplined under the Uniform Code of Military Justice which brought criminal charges resulting in jail and dishonorable discharges for declining a vaccine with serious long-term side effects. Others were forced into early retirement, and lost veteran benefits. As The Defender previously reported, in addition to the legal challenges, the GAO report found the military had a serious retention crisis due to the anthrax vaccine. The most experienced pilots left or planned to leave the military to avoid the anthrax vaccine — they were even willing to walk away from retirement benefits. According to the GAO report: “According to our survey, between September 1998 and September 2000, when AVIP was mandatory, about 16 percent of the guard and reserve pilots and aircrew members had transferred to another unit (primarily to non-flying positions), moved to inactive status, or left the military altogether. In addition, 18 percent of those still participating in units indicated their intention to transfer, move, or leave in the near future. About one-fifth of those who had already left did so knowingly before qualifying for military retirement.’” The pending loss of pilots was undeniable. According to the report, 69% of those pilots who changed their status ranked the anthrax vaccine as the main factor, and 72% of those pilots who planned to leave the military ranked the anthrax vaccine as the main factor. |

HERE is your answer: Beyond readiness, a big part of the push for a mandate for the military centers on the belief that service members could set an example for their families and friends in states where vaccine hesitancy has been higher. “When people see that these guys got the vaccine and nothing happened to them, that could be decisive,” said Dr. Ezekiel J. Emanuel, a bioethicist at the University of Pennsylvania who advised Mr. Biden during his transition. “People admire our military,” he said. “They can serve as a positive example.” THAT is repugnant. |

Sooner or later one, or a combination of these inoculations is going to get tied to a presumptive declaration of disability. That's going to be one of the most expensive decisions the VA will ever be saddled with.
Talking out my hat, but I think I'm mostly over target. This is @spartacus2002 bread and butter. |

I'm only surprised it took this long. The measures in place to keep it out of ships have caused havoc with getting maintenance done to support on time deployments.
