Should military members be separated/discharged for refusing the COVID vaccinations?

SFC (Join to see) looks to me like you've disproved yourself there bucko, I mean sarnt

LCpl Josh Powers - I have no idea what you're talking about because this post is almost a year old. Why do people keep reviving old threads? Also it doesn't even matter at this point after the NDAA had them remove that covid vaccine mandate...so...yeah. Have a day.

I'm also naturally immune to COVID but not to BS. The shot saved me a ton of the latter.

SSgt David Wilkins time put there buddy. Yes, some vaccines do give a degree of permanent protection. The flu is a type of Corona virus and you get a new shot every year to help you fight the current varient out there. As anyone that has had the flu and the shot will tell you, it is not a 100% take it to the bank promise that you will not get the flu. As for refusing the Vax, I have no sympathy for those that refused for anything other than a legitimate religious or health reason. I had to get the anthrax Vax while I was in or get out. It was a lawful order and we are charged with obeying the lawful order of those above us, not just the ones we agree with.

agreed, refusing vaccinations makes you non worldwide deployable, instant discharge under administrative reasons at the least.

Separate a healthy servicemember for not volunteering to accept an emergency decree vaccine for a condition which the servicemember is not even an identified high risk group for complications or severe sickness, a condition which the servicemember's age group has a 99+% recovery? Sounds like there is something political going at the top leadership level, not well proven medical decisions.

CPT Patrick Butler - SFC Kelly Fuerhoff is a #bot, he Down votes without a justification-- knowing the system doesn't provide a call to his bullshit mechanism. Guess the SFC does not like it when facts prove him wrong.

I just don't understand the "whole" religious exemption thing. I started out as a Catholic in my early life , was raised Presbyterian, went to a Baptist school and am now a Pentecostal in my beliefs. NO where in the Bible, you know that book of regs the Christians go by does it says that " thou shalt not be vaccinated" I don't know what "religion" is being claimed, but I don't see anything mainstream Christianity across mainstream denominations that says or dictates that one should not be vaccinated.

Nope SFC, I was wrong, so before you can put me in check, I will admit it outright, so I apologize for that accusation - I made a mistake. However, I was correct about cuckoo being the proper spelling, and I stand by my statement that all the left knows how to do is call names and post accusations because there are no factual supports. Just because somebody has an opinion different from yours doesn't make them a moron, a nut job, a cuckoo, a racist, a homophobe, or any other of the names the left has. That's why the left hates Trump so much, because he plays the same game they do, and they don't like it.

there is really no need for the military to comment on the senseless religious exemption requests....if they didn't request exemptions from the couple dozen other shots they had to get....it is proof their requests are politically motivated and not based on their religion.

Okay PV2, you performed your little rant, you did your name calling - Good Liberal. How about discussing facts. He started the boarder wall, which he had to fight the libs for more than 2 years. He set up operation WARP Speed for vaccinations against COVID, which your party ended up using its dictatorial power over service members and government workers who lost their job. The best part is, the doctors, nurses, first responders who were praised and heralded for their bravery, only to have, a year later, empowered Democrats telling them to get the vaccine or lose your job. Even though these people put their lives on the line every single day. Nice way to reward their real bravery. Natural Immunity is THE BEST fight against the virus. Putin ass kissing? That's nothing but conjecture. Now, what about Hunter getting millions of dollars from the wife of the Mayor of Moscow, or a $60,000 a month job for which he admittedly wasn't qualified, or the multi billion dollar deal he set with China, using Air Force 2? And your president who said multiple times (Look it up yourself, it's out there) that he never met any of the people Hunter did business with, yet there are pictures of him with these people. The White House won't answer any questions about these individual's that signed in to the White House visitors log. Why has Biden not been to Ukraine? Most of the other world's leaders have been there. If you truly want to discuss how much was done by Trump, overseas trips, Bills signed, the economy, the improvements for minorities working status, home buyers, supply chains, oil prices, bringing jobs back from China, and on and on, I will debate you with facts all day long. So, all you have to go with is conjecture, diatribes, name-calling and all the typical liberal tactical strategies, just remember what your current president said, "We Believe in Truth over facts." (08/08/2019 - Iowa). Pontius Pilate asked Jesus Christ, what is truth? The Romans, the Jews, and Jesus and his followers all had their own truths. It didn't mean one truth was greater than the other, but Facts are Facts and are indisputable.
