What type of discharge should I expect for refusing the covid vaccine?

I am Not A big Fan of the COVID SHOT, but why are you refusing to get the SHOT? I could understand if you worked in the Civilian Market place, but unless I am Missing something, those of us in the United States Military cannot refuse to receive any type of vaccination, I have received my shots, did not like it but I got them I am still here. I do understand your concerns , millions Plus of American citizens have received the COVID SHOT, so just get it and move on.

You may or may not be discharged for refusing the Covid Vaccine. It will depend on your command and the method on how you refuse. If you have medical reasons to refuse you will be exempt, i.e. you will not need to get the small pox vaccine if you have exema.

Don't take Vaccines lightly. Only until decades later that a large part of medical issues were from adverse reactions to "safe" vaccines, Anthrax, MMR, Hep A, Flu etc.

If you are refusing the shot because you are trying to get out mid-contract, grow a set of balls. If however you are concerned about the potential health repercussions I congratulate you for making the right choice. No one, not even the United States has the right to demand that you participate in a medical experiment - and that’s exactly what the Covid vaccine is. There are no long term studies on its potential side effects and there have been a tremendous amount of of short term side effects documented thus far. The DoD has been suppressing the information but heart inflammation alone is up 2800% across the military since they rolled out the Covid vax. Strokes are up 800%, miscarriages 400%, blood clots 1200%, etc. This is all documented by military physicians. Chronic health issues aren’t something you want to mess with. The military is a high risk profession but the risks taken should be commensurate with the necessity of taking them. The pandemic (if it can truly be called that) is over. Those who are young and healthy had a >95% chance of surviving Covid so the risks associated with the Covid vaccine aren’t worth the risk of severe long term health issues. My BC got his second shot and was dead of a massive blood clot induced heart attack a week later. He had no previous heart or blood clot issues. I chose not to get it because I have a wife and young children to think about. I was given a general under honorable conditions discharge back in March. Separation code was JKQ (serious misconduct - failure to obey a lawful order). My brother is getting the same discharge for the same reason (refusing the Covid vaccine) next week. I kept all federal benefits except my GI bill. I intend to apply for an upgrade to an honorable discharge after six months. If it is approved I’ll get my GI bill benefits back. I didn’t want to leave the Army but I’m not willing to play Russian roulette with my future just to play the political correctness bullshit. If they were to drop the Covid vaccine requirement and allow me to reenlist I’d go back today. I miss my chosen profession but taking unnecessary risks is stupid - even if you are ordered to do so.

You will probably receive a general discharge under honorable conditions. unless you are court martialed. However, it is more likely going to be an administrative action.

You should EXPECT an Honorable Discharge. You haven't broken any UCMJ provisions because you refused to be experimented on by an experimental "Vaccine" that isn't really a vaccine. Every member of the armed forces faced with less then an Honorable discharge should get a JAG officer and or private attorney and sue the Government. They are violating the Nuremberg Code by forcing you under threat of adverse actions to take an unproven experimental "emergency" substance against your willl.

Such it up, finish your term then go become a radical. The military is not the place for individuality. I've seen some photos of discharged Marines that look more like more like long-haired hippies than someone that's been in the military. One has to wonder if they learned anything from that experience.

General Discharge, which can be turned into Honorable after working through VA rep and a short probationary period if I remember the policy correctly. Its been awhile.

Stand firm for your belief system, whatever it may be. That used to be a cornerstone in this country.

I refused the vaccine so this will sound hypocritical. What “legal” are you using to base your case? Is this an unlawful order that can be proven? Can you prove it’s against your strong religious values?
When you joined you, everyone one else, gave up many rights & freedoms. So consider yourself lucky if you get an Administrative Discharge. But regardless of whichever one you get, you’ll definitely get an R4 code. That’s what can haunt you!

Dude it's not a thorax I'd just take the dam shot why blow a easy career over a shot. I get it it's your body your choice because I myself have refused it also. But why I refuse it is because the government tried saying I'm gonna get it. Well Joe I retired back in 2014 an I don't answer to the government no more an trying to mandate it to the civilian sector was there was of weeding out the sheep. I not trying to sound like a ass but if your afraid of potentially dieing from a shot why would you join the Army. As for your question probably like not passing your pt test or height an weight. Think. General under honorable conditions
