    If you won't obey an order to get vaccinated how can you be trusted to charge an enemy machine gun nest or to seal off a flooding compartment on a submarine with you inside of it that will result in your death?

    FDA approved vaccines which is what all three (phizer, Moderna and J&J) currently are. Claim to try again?

    FDA approved vaccines can be required to be taken by military members.

    Some will bring up the ANTHRAX vaccine, which at the time in question was NOT FDA approved. Sorry but you are wrong in every aspect.

    No you claimed they were "experimental" when in fact they are FDA approved.

    Then show us these "Studies" and more importantly where they come from. Put your money where your mouth is.

    it's not bigger than the risk of covid, if one has the risk from the spikes in the vaccine, then they will have an even worse risk from the spikes in the real virus

    I'm sorry for your individual situation.

    What I posted are facts.

    80 people have died, of approximately 1,500,000 service members, or .00005% but everybody should get the vaccine, yet 23 people have had sever reactions to the vaccine...

    I'm not in board with the philosophy based on simple math.

    The rist that they get sick and so can not function is high. They are a liability.
    You 2 are mixing up getting sick with dying.

    They don't really care about who dies in the army.
    They care if the army is still able to do it's job.

    Somebody died while serving in the army. Who knew right? lol
    This is about if the army can still operate in a reliable way with all them sick people, and what must be done to have that reliable army.
    Enter the jab.

    What is the advantage gained by taking the shot? The shots don't work, they screw up your immune system and more, and the frigging virus has a 99% survival rate.

    Injecting our military, now pretty much a done deal, is a sinister agenda.

    Two friends of mine who took the shot are in the same boat, chest pains. One is wearing a heart monitor. I feel so sorry for them.

    There is virtually zero imminent threat for young healthy people form the virus. Your hypotheticals are a joke.

    I agree, but that still does not justify stupid orders.

    It depends on if it is a lawful order. Soldiers get lots of shots, and extra shots for diseases we don't have here. So the lawfulness of the order needs to be challenged.

    I'd like to see the numbers and a breakdown of adverse effects, broken down my race, age, and morbidity. The military can easily do this, then present the information to the troops. It is an all volunteer force, not a bunch of dumb assed draftees like me in '66, back when men were men and sheep were nervous.

    Big pharma has to sell their product. If you want a paycheck without all the work, get a government job. If you want extreme wealth without being responsible for results, get a government contract!

    There is no place in the military for men of conscience.

    Jack London described the quintessential military man: "The lowest aim in your life is to become a soldier. The good soldier never tries to distinguish right from wrong. He never thinks; never reasons; he only obeys. If he is ordered to fire on his fellow citizens, on his friends, on his neighbors, on his relatives, he obeys without hesitation. If he is ordered to fire down a crowded street when the poor are clamoring for bread, he obeys, feeling neither remorse nor sympathy."

    Those conscientious men who refused the shots are not fit for today's US military.

    All of your arguments are irrelevant on this issue.
    When enlisting, these men and women agreed to serve for a specific term and the conditions that would apply therein. Have you ever heard anybody say that "military recruiters are not to be trusted"? The primary reason is they are known to paint a rosier picture and once the documents are signed, enlistees are stuck or can go AWOL (on the run for a long time) or be dishonorably discharged.

    There is very little risk (but, risk nonetheless) for most vaccines we get. We take our precious little infants to the Pediatrician to get them injected with stuff. To this day, I don't understand why infants are given Hepatitis vaccines with the first 24 hours of life. I think it's reasonable to say that they are sexually active or drug users at a day old and they get way more than that.

    We require our kids to get vaccinated to attend school. Of course, we have the option of declining them and finding other educational options for our children. In fact, just about everything in society requires acceptance of whatever the rules are when wee agree to live in that society.

    Medical people have to graduate and complete residency programs.
    People have to take a written and road test and eye exam to get a driver's license.
    People have to complete training to be police officers, paramedics and fire fighters.
    We have to have on shoes and shirts to shop in most, if not all, retail establishments.
    We have to pay money to our government from whatever we earn from gainful employment.

    * We all have to do whatever rules our employers have.

    On that last one, specifically, maybe try NOT doing it and see what happens. We both know most of the US is "at will" which means we, the employee, or our employer can terminate the relationship for any reason that is not protected by our laws.

    So, if you can be shown the door for not doing as you are instructed to do (and, I can only assume that you do whatever they tell you to do since probably enjoy living indoors and having food in your belly because you seem sane) why is *this* employer (USA) telling his employees (the enlisted) what they can and can't do problematic?

    How did you and your leftist media determine there are no long term effects on a vaccine thats only been out for a year? Did you time travel to 10 years in the future?
    Can't wait to hear this.

    Nobody with two brain cells would call it a vaccine. Its just gene therapy.

    Does this experimental (so called) vaccine stop you from getting Covid?
    NO
    Does this experimental (so called) vaccine stop you from spreading the virus?
    NO
    Does this experimental (so called) vaccine give you better immunity than the infection itself?
    NO
    Is there any data that can prove this experimental (so called) vaccine doesn't have long term effects?
    NO
    Are the manufactures of this experimental (so called) vaccine accountable in the future for any adverse effects or false predicted outcomes?
    NO
    Do vaccines needs boosters every 6 months to be viable?
    NO
    Does the CDC consider you vaccinated if you don't take the booster every 6 months
    NO

    Yet the survival rate of Covid is still 98.8% without this experimental (so called) vaccine.
    Go figure

    A lot of folks are getting all up in arms about this but I really don't understand the outrage. Perhaps I'm just institutionalized at this point. I can only speak from my own personal perspective seeing how I don't know what's going through the heads of other service members leading them to make what decisions they make.

    This just doesn't seem like a logical hill to die on in the military. We get stuck with everything under the sun on a yearly basis and I honestly have no idea what they are even sticking me with anymore. At random points during the year I'll get an email saying hey you're overdue for whatever shots so head to the clinic when you can and get them. So I drive to the clinic and tell the medic to pull my records then I sit down in a chair and they stick me with a bunch of stuff and I leave. I remember a couple of them are typhoid and anthrax and the flu shot. I don't know nor care what the other ones are, if they say go get shots then I go get stuck with stuff. I have no idea what the side effects of any of these things are because I don't care enough, I get them every year and have done so for well over a decade so if one of them is going to hurt me then I'm already screwed.

    What's one more random shot? I get it, the other stuff has been around for decades so we know the long term effects but even with that it's not like we don't do stuff that I'm sure is way worse for your health than a new vaccine shot. Burning piles of human waste using jet fuel for 12 hours a day and inhaling that stuff for months is probably bad for your health. As is drinking tea made out of Afghan sewer river water and catching dysentery and flesh eating bacteria as has happened to me and other people I know.

    It's the military...you can't just decide you don't want to take the typhoid shot or whatever either. It's part of the service contract to receive all of your immunizations and if you don't you get separated. My mentality in this case has nothing to do with politics or what is morally right or wrong or whether a brand new vaccine SHOULD be mandated to the military. It's more like when I hear people say they are refusing to take it I laugh inside wondering about the rationale. You have no problem getting 8 random shots of everything else and spend all day inhaling lead based CARC paint without a respirator and paint laced with Hex 6 which is frying your lungs because "respirators are annoying and get in the way" but when it comes to the covid shot you're worried about your health lol....

    I respect anybody who stands their ground and doesn't just keep blowing hot air and walks the walk. So I respect those who chose to stand firm and get chaptered instead of caving in to something they don't believe in. But seriously, the covid shot thing in the military is a pretty illogical hill to die on. If you are serving in the military in any capacity other than 100% pure desk job then they are screwing with your health way more than one more random shot is going to. I promise you that. Why do you think virtually everybody who has ever served whether it be 4 years or 30 years ends up dealing with the VA in some capacity for the rest of their lives...
